21 Days and Counting...

 I think to say that i'm excited for Deathly Hallows Part 2 is an understatement. I am literally buzzing! I've been counting down the days for well over a few months now, i can't believe it's only 21 days till it comes out!

In preparation for the movie, i've set my iPod and iPad to DH related images, counting down the days on my calender and how i have this gorgeous necklace to complete my fandom.
I've been lusting over Deathly Hallows jewellery since i read the last line of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows! I done a bit of researching and the best decent-looking DH necklace i could find was $35! $35 for a necklace is a bit out of my price range.. So being the blogger that i am, i asked my followers on Tumblr for the best place to find good DH jewellery. The lovely Victoria (vipxo) replied saying she was thinking of getting some necklaces into her shop and i guess the rest is history.

The necklace was £8, which is majorly cheaper than $35, so i was over the moon!

The chain is so long, oh my god i can't even explain how much i love it. (i squealed when ma mere told me i had a package!)

Is anyone else as excited for Deathly Hallows as i am?

 Ring - Primark

Hey everyone!
*you'll have to excuse my duvet, when i took this photo, i was snuggled up in bed!*
I bought this lovely ring from Primark today for an amazing £2.50! Two Pound Fifty for this beauty, i know, shocking!
I've always lusted over the rings on jwlry but i have the problem of having big knuckles - thanks dad. So, i usually have to get rings in "large". Because of my big knuckled-ness, i've always been hesitant to buying rings online, even if they are adjustable.. So, when i saw this ring in Primark (and in my size) i pretty much squealed in delight.

This post is a bit different from the norm but i wanted to let you know that Primark has some amazing rings at the mo!

I hope you all had a lovely Tuesday!

I bought my ring from vipxo for £2.50 :-)

This is my newest edition to my ring collection! I am in love with it.
I know that scrabble rings are kind of a thing of the past here on blogspot, as i've loads of bloggers post about their scrabble rings, but i'm excited about it nonetheless.
I've been wanting a scrabble ring for the longest time and i've always been a bit suspicious about buying online (and because i never had a debit card until recently *blushes*). Anyway, i've over the moon about it and i'm sure i'm going to get a lot of wear out of it!

Haul- LA Colors

without flash

with flash

L-R: Top Coat, French Cream, Mega Watt, Apricot Fizz

L-R: Pink Satin, Shocker, Atomic, Treasure Island

So, here are the nail polishes that i bought for 99p each at Beauty Base in Westfield (in London) the other weekend (i made a haul video on them and said i would take photos of them for my blog)

They're all so beautiful and so far i've only used Atomic with Treasure Island on top then the Top Coat. It was a beautiful combo (to say the least) and i got loads of compliments from friends and people asking me if i was wearing one of Katy Perry & OPI polishes, hehehe.

They're a definite bargain and actually very good polishes- by the look of them.

If any of ya'll are in or near Westfields, i suggest you check out Beauty Base!

MAC's Venomous Villains "haul"

I can't express how happy i was counting down the days until this collection came out! The day after it was released online, i ordered myself the must-have of the whole collection.

I admit, i didn't spend nearly as much as everyone else who's hauled this collection and to be honest, i'm not really that bothered. Spending £26 on two Lipglass' is enough for me. I thought that as these are my first MAC products, i should start slowly rather then dive in head first. 

Anyway, this is what i got from the collection + all the packaging.. 

 Lipglass in Devilishly Stylish.

Lipglass in Strange Potion.

(L-R)
Devilishly Stylish
Strange Potion

I am definitely more than tempted to buy some more from this collection but there isn't much else i can see myself really using, i would only really be buying anything else just for the sake of it. 

Were you as excited about this collection as me or did you think it was one that you could let pass you by? xoxo

Thomas Sabo

I've found a new love and his name is Thomas Sabo.
I've been eyeing his jewellery for a while now and for my birthday i got a bracelet along with two charms! I am completely in love with them and they're the exact ones i wanted.

Aren't they adorable? Gosh, i love them so much. I'm definitely going to buy some more charms and perhaps the black beaded bracelet!

The things i like most about this jewellery designer is that he is well known but only to a certain group of people and that the charms are so cheap! I think £30 is around the maximum price, how great is that?! xoxo

Amazing-stoke!

I've heard that Basingstokes Festival Place mall to be called Amazing-stoke and it honestly lives up to it's name! I went there yesterday with Lewis, my best friend, and his parents for Lewis' birthday.
We had a quick bite to eat at a cafe called 'Cafe Bebo'. I had a cheese and ham croissant, yes, a cheese and ham croissant! I didn't think you could mix sweet and savory but my god, it is delicious! 
I didn't buy much while we were there as i done quite a bit of spending the day before in Reading but i did manage to buy a few things.

The first shop i bought from was Superdrug. I knew that i wanted to walk away from Basingstoke with the NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder as i am in love with the Loose Powder.
The colour is i701A Translucent and price was £2.99!

My thoughts so far would be that the pressed version is the same texture of the loose powder once on the face and it seems very good so far!

I also decided to buy a MUA lipgloss as i've seen quite a few people raving about them.

The colour is in Shade 4 and the price was £1!

I can tell off the bat that i'm not going to be a great fan of this product as much the scent is really off putting, for me. I've seen reviews were people have commented on how much they like the scent as it's "strawberry". This lipgloss doesn't smell of "strawberries" to me, it's like a fake manufactured smell that reminds me of airports.. 

After we went into Superdrug, we hit Primark. It's not obvious on here, yet, but on Tumblr i think it's clear that i am a big Primark fan. I love the fact you can get great items for such a cheap price! I know why they're so cheap, etc etc but i still love the shop nonetheless.
I am really loving Primarks jewellery as it's so in fashion and dirt cheap!
The first thing i laid eyes on was this cupcake necklace which i adore!

It was only £1.50 and it's so dainty + cute.

The next thing i found was this beautiful ring.

When i first laid eyes on this ring many months ago, i fell in love with it but i never bought it because i thought that by the next time i went into Primark, they would still have it. I was wrong and this scenario happened again another time. When i saw it yesterday, i had to buy it as i couldn't let it go! It was only £2 as well!

The second ring that i bought was this beauty.

I am in love with big and animal rings right now so i had to get this and it was only £2!

The last thing i bought yesterday was this china doll necklace. It was only £1.50 and i am so in love with it!

That was all i bought this shopping trip, i know it's a small haul but i love the things i bought nonetheless.

I'll be doing reviews on the makeup products that i bought once i have given them both a fair go.
I hope you all have great week!
