Shower, exfoliate, moisturise.. door bell!

I still wasn't dressed so my parcel was placed in the hands of my father, which he then hid and thought he would play the 'cold, warm, warmer' game with me O_O so when I finally found it, I ran upstairs to try my items on :)

I bought both of these in Republic's sale for £5 each

The photos are cropped a fair bit because I had a towel on my head and my room was a mess :) oh and I'm so pale!

Originally £19.99. To me, this dress is just meh. I'll wear it to the beach over a bikini so I would of never paid £20 for it. First photo is of the dress normally, making me look larger than normal and the second is with a belt which I think looks slightly better.

Anddd the top, which was originally £19.99. It has a chain along the collar and light weight material. I quite like this :)

Mmm

The most pointless post ever aha but I just made grilled cheese and tomato on toast and it was delicious!

One slice had cheese on top (I already ate one half of it before I took the photo) and the other slice had the tomato on top. When the tomato is on top, the juices taste so much better. We only had cherry tomato's so that's what I used.

Again, pointless post, everyone knows how to do this but I forgot how good it tasted.

Well.. it tastes nice if you like cheese and tomato :P

NOTW - Barry M Nail Paint in Coral 296

Yes another Barry M paint and I know you've seen this colour many times but.. well I wanted to? :P

So this is Coral 296; two coats and voila.

Last weeks 'nails of the week' were painted with Barry M Nail Paint in Pure Turquoise 295 and this lasted well with only minimal chips by the seventh day :)

Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara

When I first started wearing make-up, the two brands I used were Miss Sporty and Natural Collection. I used to wear Natural Collection mascara all the time but as my 'income' increased, I started to look at other brands.

Recently, mascara has become my most used product and I didn't want to keep spending the amount of money I did on it (Wasn't a great deal, around £6 per tube, but still, I wanted something cheaper).

I love Natural Collection and use most of their products everyday (Bronzer, bronzing pearls and blushes are great!) so I thought I'd try one of their mascaras again. I didn't have any expectations because I really can not remember what I used to think about it (Probably nothing because I wasn't into make-up back then and really didn't care)

For £1.99, it didn't matter if it was pants.

Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara in Black. Left: no mascara, Right: one coat.

As you can see, there is a difference but your probably thinking it's not a huge amount. Well to me it is. When looking in the mirror I can see quite a big difference but then, you always notice the slightest things about yourself don't you?

This mascara does not clump my eyelashes together, not at all. And as for giving my lashes length? Well yes it does, but doesn't every mascara make a difference in the length?

This is a standard everyday mascara: lengthens and doesn't clump.

I am really impressed as it does the same as my Maybelline mascaras but it is under £2!

Plus, with the offer Natural Collection have all year round, you can buy three for £5. I'm going to try out their Curl and Waterproof mascaras as well to see if they are any good.

Love Natural Collection ♥

+ I bought a chew rope for my dog from the pound store aha. These keep my dog happy and entertained for ages. The last one lasted around 5 months and in actual fact, it's still in the garden.

Primark:

Sometimes I love it, sometimes I can not stand it. Today was a 'can not stand it' day. There were four different pairs of shoes I really liked and there were no 7's left for any! This was extremely annoying because I am in desperate need for some shoes as I am currently wearing one pair day in, day out. I have boots but it's too hot for them.

I also bought a really nice top for £5, the coat hanger saying it was a size 8. Got home and it was in actual fact a size 12. Now this was my fault as I should of checked but I'm still annoyed about it.

Next week I shall be buying some shoes for the wedding (Found some from Newlook, black rock chick like with studs. I think these will have a nice contrast against my pastel blue ruffle dress), loads of pairs of dolly shoes, pumps, summer clothes and Republic jeans :)

The shoes from Newlook. Look soooo much better in real life. I'll probably change my mind by next week aha.
