Forever21, Primark & ebay Haul!

Gold beaded necklace -forever21
Gold spaced cross necklace -Primark
Classic round circle sunglasses -ebay
Pixies top -ebay
Gold plated belt -ebay


Happy New Year everyone!
I thought I would do a more fashion related post seen as all of mine have been for beauty. 
I picked up a few bargains from various websites, I look at higher priced items from various websites and looked for cheaper items over the internet, you never know how many good pieces you can find just trying to save a few pounds!

If you haven't listened to the Surfer Rosa album by the the Pixies you missing out! I bought the top in medium as its a mens top and customised the sleeves and collar, I find customising items a bit more personal and you can go to Urban Outfitters and pay £25+ for a top you can customise your self for nearly half of the price.

Plus i've got my snazzy camera now so, you will be getting more high quality images from me! & maybe even some videos? What do you think?

Hope you enjoy this post and help you find some really great pieces for hardly anything

Dior Forever Fluid Foundation





I got this as a sample from out of a Harpers Bazaar magazine. I have a monthly subscription as I absolutely love how they are filled of fabulous clothes and advertisements for make-up and beauty products that are all out of my price range, if only money grew on trees ay! 

I tried the sample out of this foundation and actually fell in love with it, as i am normally used to high street brands this was a whole new world for me. My auntie knew how much i loved this foundation and surprised me with it last christmas.
Baring in mind that i use this every day and i still have that same bottle is pretty amazing, all you need is one pump of this and it covers your whole face! 

I doubt i will ever go back to high-street brands again as this has lasted for over 6 months and i believe i still have half the bottle left. Maybe it's better to just splash out on a high-end foundation rather than settling for the cheaper stuff, let me know what you think?


I swatched my hand to show you girls about how lovely the consistency is, its so smooth and just glides onto the skin so lovely. It gives such an even finish and if you get the colour just right for your skin tone, it looks flawless. With me also having freckles, i do like them to be covered a little but it's also nice to see them but not so prominently and this just does the trick.

Hats off to the guys at Dior, I really do love this!

Let me know about what you think about if you think high-end foundations are really cracked up to be, and if so whats your favourite one?

This product is £31.00 at boots, here's the link for if you want to try it for yourself;

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base


I bought this not long ago and I thought I would really try it out before writing a post about it thats logical right? This product smells like turkish delight which I don't like but the smell of this is quite pleasant and I don't mind rubbing it on my face. 

This again was pretty pricey but not as much as the Estée Lauder Pore Minimiser, I can't really say anything more about this because it does what it says on the tin, I have very very dry skin and this moisturises and I love the fact that there are vitamins in it because i've never seen anything like it before!

Quick Tip: I bought this from the actual Bobbi Brown website because I don't advise buying things from ebay or unknown websites as anything can be put into the pot, including mercury and other items.

Thanks
