My Ebay Basket #1

Hey everyone! So with nothing to do now since exams are over I have been thinking a lot about my blog. It came to me that I should have weekly/daily theme things posts (wow that makes sense). On monday will be things I have found on Ebay, which I will try and make an outfit out of but I cannot always 100% guarantee this. On Wednesday there will be something DIYish, Friday will be Face Friday and lastly Sunday will be my week in Instagram (if there are enough pictures). So here we are with Ebay Basket #1! (woop, woop)

Glasses, Shoes, Playsuit, Lipstick, Bag

I hope you like this idea, let me know what you think. 

Is there anything you've found on Ebay lately? Please share! 

Hope you are all well,

Kate Moss Rimmel Lipstick Review

GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN, SHADY'S BACK, TELL A FRIEND! 

Hi everyone! So, university has literally taken over my life for the past month or so and it will continue to for the next few weeks until exams are over (stupid exams -.-). The library is literally my new home, I might as well just move my bed in because its literally like the only thing I don't do in there. Anyways, to take a well deserved break I decided to go into town one day and treat myself to some make-up. I brought a number of things as Boots are doing amazing deals on make-up atm, check it out! Lipstick seems to be my new thing so when I saw this pinky Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick I thought I will give it ago. So here is my review! 

This is the 101 Rossetto colour which is such a lovely colour, its like a subtle baby/nude pink. I have always thought light pinks are such cute colour lipsticks. Anyways onto the product.

 On applying the product I realised it has a REALLY nice smell. Kinda like tangerines, which is a plus.  Its really smooth over the lips and is matt (looks shiny in picture above for some reason :s) and doesn't make your lips look dry. It applied really nice, almost feels like satin on your lips, its soo soft and light! I have literally been wearing it ever day since I got it. The colour and feel is amazing.

I would highly recommend the product. The only issue I can point out is that it doesn't last as long as I would like it to and need to keep applying throughout the day. And maybe that there isn't enough in the pot to fill my desire to wear it everyday! :P

I'm thinking the next post will be on my new dupe disco pants from Boohoo. They are amazing, but with the sun out and summer coming up I want to so something summery. If you have any requests please let me know.

Hope you are all well and getting though the exam period. It will soon be over!

Cheap Prom/Homecoming Dresses on Ebay

With the prom season coming up I thought it was relevant to do a post on some cheap prom dresses, much of which are under £35. Looking back at my prom experience, I didn't have the fanciest dress because I wasn't sure what prom was really like, but it wasn't cheap either. It was just a plain standard dress from French Connection and definitely was not (now looking back at it) appropriate for prom as it was just a plain pleated navy dress. At uni we are having a summer ball in May so I have been looking around for a dress to wear, that's if I decide to go. Here are some I have found so far! 

This coral colour would look great against a darkish, olive skin. It can be found for £34.99 HERE

 You can never go wrong with royal blue for a formal dress. It can be found for £32.55 HERE

 Add a bit of sparkle to your night with this dress for only £16.90 HERE

Asymmetrical dresses always seem to be a great hit at proms. It can be found for £34 HERE

This dress would look amazing on pale skinned people (like myself). It can be found for £38.99 HERE

 Lace and asymmetrical, what's not to love! This is sure to be a hit at prom. It can be found for £48 HERE

 Green is always an amazing colour, especially if you're a redhead! It can be found HERE for only £44.99 

 To me these are typical prom dresses. It can be found for £19.99 HERE

 Simple AND pretty, it can be used from prom and many other nights out. It can be found for £27.99 HERE

One of my favourites. The floral strap makes the dress stand out and it comes in many colours. Found HERE for £39.99 

 Take it short and summery with this dress that comes in many colours. Find it HERE for only £14.98

Make jaws drop in this royal blue elegant dress. It can be found for £18.99 HERE

Elegant but simple. What's not to love with the price tag of only £19.98 HERE 

Are you going to prom this year? Which is your favourite dress?

Hope you are well!

Summer Wish List #2

With the unusual burst of sunshine coming though my window it got me excited for summer once again! I went into town with my boyfriend yesterday and stopped off at Boots and Accessorize. This was the first time I've been in Accessorize for a while because I only found out they have a shop in Plymouth after 2 years! (I clearly wasn't paying attention). As per usual they have some amazing things , but its also quite expensive for what it is as while I was in Thailand last summer I saw exact same things for less than half the price of what Accessorize are selling them for. Nevertheless I'm not going to Thailand any time soon so for my holiday shop I will definitely be making a trip to Accessorize. 

Trousers - Accessorize

Bikini bottoms - Accessorize

Hat - Accessorize

Belts - Accessorize

Shorts - Rokit

Dress- New Look

Bikini Top - Accessorize

Dress - ?

Top - New Look

I fell in love with these Accessorize trousers and will definitely be buying a pair soon even though I'm trying to say away from the dark colours this summer.  The high waisted denim shorts are also a summer must, they are so versatile and can be worn with anything on any occasion. 

Check out my Summer Wish list #1 HERE

Hope you are all enjoying the little gimps of sunshine while it last! I hear its going to be snowing on Monday/Tuesday - Crazyy!

Jumpin Jumpin

 Long weekend, woop!! In the excitement of having a long weekend I decided to take some pictures. My outfit is nothing special just a outfit I would normally go to university in, comfy and practical. My black and white converses seem to be making more of an appearance lately. I got them about a good 3/4 years ago and I seem to have wore them more times this week than I ever have! 

I was also thinking about making certain themes for the blog like Wardrobe Wednesday (showing a piece of clothing/outfit from my wardrobe),  on Monday blogging about a find on ebay? and Instagram Sunday?

Let me know what you think about the idea. I quite like it.

Hope your all well!

Republic Rant!

Hey all, a few nights ago in Plymouth was a student shopping night meaning that there were extra discounts in shops for students. I brought a dress from Republic after my friends convinced me into getting it. I got home and tried it on and to my surprise it was too small. Went back the next day to return it and they said 'sorry we have a new policy coming into day were we cannot accept refunds' I was like nooooo!!! After talking to the cashier for a while, saying that it clearly states returns on the receipt and that nobody informed me of this new policy I had to exchange it even thought I really did not want anything! Long story short I was pissed off because they were having a closing down sale only big sizes were left. I got this dress in the pictures below and its not my fav dress, and wouldn't have brought it if I had a choice. After this incident I can say this was the first and last time I will be shopping at Republic! 

(wow, kipper feet or what?! Swear I'm only a size 6!)

Dress - Republic, £14

Cardigan - H&M (old)

Belt- Primark, £1

Scarf - Ebay £3

Bag - Topshop (old)

Shoes - Converse 

The good news for those of you who haven't had a bad experience with Republic is that they are having a 20% closing sale! Also see what I mean about my wardrobe consisting of mostly blue, grey and black!! 

What do you think of this outfit?

Hope you are all well!!
