Haul Part 2 - crappy pics and all!

Howdy beautifuls!  This is part 2 of my hauls, It's been on the cards for such a long time and I had to fight with the sun to get some pictures but as usual they're rubbish, I hope you get the idea.  There will be more to come including a rather mahoosive Lush haul, a mini makeup haul and a clothes haul so stay tuned and dont forget to follow my blog for updates on when those are out! :D

This is a bit of a collection of things I've accumulated over the last couple of months...hmmm...

Yes that is ALOT of hand sanitiser....I'm a nurse what can I say?

I was with one of my gorgeous girlies just perusing the shops when I noticed a book shop closing down...I can't get me enough booksies so I practically begged her if we could go in and I'm so glad she gave in because I picked up Lauren Conrad's Style book for an amazing price - £2.50!! That's pretty darn good seeing as this book retails at £14.99 in the uk.  I also picked up an art book for my artistic aunty but she hasn't seen it yet so I wont show it on here...

After christmas Clinton's card (who are the only stockists of yankee candles near me) were getting rid of some of their candles for half price so I picked a few up..8 to be precise but who's counting?  The last time I popped in they still had some left so maybe check out your local Clinton's.  The candle holders are from a little shop called Tiger.  I thought they were gorgeous and for only £1 each I thought I'd pick some up for my new candles! :D

 I'm sorry about the lop-sided picture but I cant for the life of me get it to sit the right way round! Grrr! For those interested I got the 'Simple regeneration age resisting vitamin e serum pads'.  I saw these in poundland and thought...for 16 pads why ever not? And at 24 I'm getting paranoid about wrinkles so I figured for a quid I might gain something out of using these pads.

Using my Boots No 7 £5 voucher I got some more of my trusty 'quick thinking 4 in 1 wipes' because I love them so much! :D

In my quest for younger wrinkle free skin...(I know I'm only 24 but prevention is better than cure) I picked up this 'Biomed serum' from TKMaxx.  It's called the 'forget your age anti-wrinkle stem cell rejuvenator serum'...fancy.  I've only been using this for a week or so but I'm liking it so far..I will do an update and let you guys know what I think of this once I've fully put it through it's paces.

I also picked up a pack of 3 muslin cloths from the body shop just for using with my cleanser in the morning.

As you can see this is my Harrods Hello Kitty keyring that I spoke about from my recent trip to Harrods Link to the post! :D (again sorry about the lop-sided picture)

I picked up some false nails for two reasons, 1) they were pink and 2) they were cheap (£1.99 I think)

I bought the 100ml of the DKNY Red delicious as a fresh fruity everyday scent for when it gets a bit warmer as I'm getting through my Chanel Chance and J'adore pretty quickly and they not cheap! This however was £24 I think so I thought why the heck not?

Last but not least I picked up Primarni goodies (that's primark for all you normal people). I got two scarves both £3 each and some gloves £7.  Sorry about the rubbish pictures.  I'm very aware that blogs and Iphone pics dont mix but the digital camera is still poorly and I really wanted to get this post up.

What have you guys picked up recently? I'd love to hear about your bargain finds! Please leave me comments and follow my blog because it brings a ray of sunshine to my day! :D

Until next time...Ciao for now world

Inspired...

Hello beautiful World

I thought I would add another addition to my inspired series, the person thats been inspiring me lately is Kiera Knightly.  I recently watched one of her older films Bend it Like Beckham and she just has that innocent, girl-next-door look to her that you cant fault.

Her skin always looks youthful and clear and natural, as does the rest of her makeup.  Very rarely does she go for a deeper smokier look but even then she gives off that good-girl-gone bad vibe but when she does it just looks right

This last picture is my favourite, I'm loving the natural makeup!

Thanks for checking in, please let me know who's look inspires you in the comments section below and if you like my posts dont forget to follow my blog.

ciao for now world!
