First off we have this watch from ASOS. I've been looking for a new watch for ages and every time I found one that I liked it was out of stock, but I finally found this Large face watch from ASOS for only £18 which isn't bad at all! I've had loads of compliments on it already which is really nice.

Next up is this Bag from Fiorelli. Again I've been looking for a new bag for ages and they've all been out of stock. I originally found the brand on ASOS but I got this Tan belted grab bag by Fiorelli from Debenhams and it's perfect, love it lots! I actually ended up paying only £54 for it as I got 20% off ordering online.

Now onto the beauty stuff. We'll go with lip stuff first. The Rimmel lip liner in Eastend snob has become a blogger favourite in recent months and looks like the sort of colour I would like. Then I saw that Collection has bought out a matte range of Lipstick which is right up my street. There wasn't many colours I would choose but I found this one in Taffeta Bloom which is a nice nude'y' colour. Rimmel were having a 2 for £10 offer in Boots and I've had Sultry from the matte balm range on my wishlist for ages so I finally picked it up along with the Liquid quick dry top coat as I'm always struggling with my nails taking ages to dry. Following on from nails I got the NYC Shine in a minute nail polish in Rain Drop. I love the NYC nail polishes. They're so affordable, have an amazing brush and last a long time so definitely go and check them out. 

Onto eyes, which are both actually from Poundworld. I found the Scandaleyes eye shadow paint in Peachy apricot and the single eye shadow in Smokey Quarts. I've heard good things about both of these products, especially the single eye shadow. I'm currently wearing them both together and I'm loving them so far, and they were only £1 each!

For face products I got the Miss Sporty So clear pressed powder in 01 Transparent. I first tried this when I found one in poundworld and loved it so I thought I would buy another one from Superdrug. It says it's 'transparent' but looks quite dark in the pan so we'll see how I get on with it. I also got the Makeup Revolution Focus and fix concealer in light as I'm trying out some budget concealers for a new post and I've actually never had a Makeup Revolution product before!
Finally I got my all time fave face scrub; St Ives invigorating face scrub, you all know I LOVE this.

Finally we come to the fashion. From Primark I got some basic legging which will be for uni for my acting classes and a high neck cami with key hole detail on the front and back with two gold necklaces attached. I really love this cami as I don't have anything else like it and it will be great for going out at uni. Then from matalan I got a pair of denim shorts and this pretty printed peplum top which is great for the summer. I've been loving Matalan recently so I would definitely check them out if I were you!

What have you been buying recently? 

Thanking you,

Why, hello there...

Apologies I haven't done a post in a while. 1 - I don't currently have an SD card for my camera, 2 - Work has been supper busy recently, 3 - I haven't really had the energy to sit down and write a post and I don't want to force myself to write anything. Anyhoo, on with the post...

It's been a while since I've done a wishlist. Most the time it's beauty but for once there's a few pieces of clothing that have caught my eye. I am going uni in September and I've got all my t shirts and leggings ready for acting classes but I don't have many 'going out' clothes so this is sort of what I'm looking for at the moment. It's also my birthday in just over a month so some of this will ben on my birthday wishlist so look out for that!

1. Cami tops.  Now it's coming up to summer, I'm in need of some proper summer clothing as the only short sleeve tops I have are t-shirts and no 'nice' tops. This monochrome flower print cami from Matalan is so pretty and deffo a dupe for the Misguided clothing with the exact same print. Double strap camis also seem to be the 'in thing' at the moment and this New Look cross over cami is great and really affordable.

2. A-Line Skirts.  I've been looking for an A-Line skirt for a while now. I particularly like brown/beige ones as they can go with quite a few things. Unfortunately because I've got such long legs it's hard to find a skirt that's not too short on me. I really like these two skirts from New Look but looking at them in the shops they're a bit too short for me. If anyone has any recommendations for these kind of skirts let me know!

3. Black jeans.  I go through these like nobodys business. Normally Matalan are my go-to jeans but they're out of my size, but these high waisted black jeans from New Look will do the job.

4. Cold shoulder tops.  I know this style has been around for a while but I've only been paying attention to it recently. They can be dressed up or down so they're perfect for any occassion. This one from New Look also has a high neck so this would be nice for an evening out, would go great with the high waited jeans.

5. Feather watch from ASOS.  I'm in desperate need of a new watch and found this one on ASOS. It's not very expensive which is great and looks super pretty. This will probably be on my birthday wishlist.

6. Fiorelli Handbag.  Another item I'm in need of as my current handbag from JustFab is falling apart. I found Fiorelli on ASOS and they're relatively affordable for a good quality hand bag. They've sold out of the one I was originally looking at, but this one on John Lewis (Sophia medium bag) is just as nice.

7. Benefit Roller Lash.  I had a sample of this recently and absolutely loved it! Quite expensive compared to my high-street choices but amazing nonetheless. This will also probably be on my birthday wishlist.



That's all for this post, what's on your wishlist?


Thanking you,

Naomi.





Want to see 3 different outfits ALL from the sales? Check out this post!

Why, hello there...

This is my 3rd installment of my save your pennies series! Check out the last one here.

So this post is all about websites and on-line options for finding those bigger brands for a lot less and being budget friendly. Hopefully you'll find this useful, lets get started!




1. Fragrance Direct. I couldn't write this post without including this. This is a blogging favourite, including Calvin Klein to Maybeline at such massive discounts. Obviously they sell discounted fragrances as well, so it's definitely something to check out!

2. Everything 5 Pounds. I personally haven't used this site but I've seen some items from here which are amazing, and yes EVERYTHING is £5! Shoes, dresses, trousers, everything! Some of the designs are brilliant, but you do find some amazing gems!





3. ASOS Marketplace. This is a brilliant place to find unique pieces that you wouldn't find on the high-street. It has independent unique brands but also gives the chance for people to sell their unwanted jewellery/clothing, so you can always find a bargain!






4. Ebay/Amazon.  I use amazon all the time to buy things like converse and vans because it's so much cheaper than buying them in store. They do so much! And they both stock things that aren't available in the UK such as wet 'n' wild e.c.t.


5. Sales section. To be honest, I always go straight to the sales section on any website first. You can always find a hidden gem that no one has snapped up yet, or something that has just been added which no one has seen yet! Places like New Look and topshop always have something amazing in their sales, so I would deffo recommend having a look before buying full price!


That's all for this post, if there's anything I haven't included let me know in the comments and I'll add it as soon as possible!

Do any of you use these/buy from these places?


Thanking you,

Naomi
