Primark Bronze Range | Cream Eyeshadow, Highlighter & More

Now that spring is full swing and summer is just around the corner (I cannot wait!) it's time to start switching things around in my makeup bag. I am loving more natural looks, with plenty of highlight and I can't get enough of the golden glow. Which is why I was pretty excited to see a new makeup range on my most recent trip to Primark. Recently I've become a big fan of Primark beauty and I loved their Nudes collection, a few weeks ago you may have seen my review on some of their cream eyeshadows (here). As soon as I saw their new Bronze collection I knew that I had to take a few bits home with me. There's quite a few bits in the range to choose from and I could have easily picked one up of everything! I don't think I did too bad with the four bits I picked up, I've only had them for a few days, but already I'm loving everything...

My New Favourite Nude Lip Combo - Makeup Revolution & Primark Lip Liner

Blogmas Day 6 - Some Winter Essentials from Primark

Opps I did it again! I popped into my local Primark! If you've been keeping up to date with my pregnancy posts you will know that I've gone through another stage of things not fitting me very well. It's such a horrible feeling putting on clothes to find that they don't fit! As Primark is cheap, cheerful and a case of money well spent, I decided to pick up a few bits, which can only mean one thing.... A Primark Haul! Now I didn't go too crazy as Christmas is coming up and I'm a bit selective about what I buy right now due to my ever changing size, but they have so many nice bits in that would be perfect for Christmas. It did make me a little sad as all the things I liked, I couldn't fit into but I know its just a part of pregnancy. Anyway I know I'm rambling so I'll just get on with the haul.....

I saw this sparkly jumper and just knew that I had to try and squeeze into it. I did buy it a few sizes bigger so it fits over my bump nicely, and even with it being a little bigger, its lovely on. I love being able to wear all things that sparkle this time of year. I have a few meals out coming out and want to wear something that makes me feel a little more glam and thought this jumper would be perfect.

I also picked up some thick patterned black leggings which I thought would be perfect for day or night time. I'm not really wearing jeans at the moment as I find leggings way more comfier and thought these textured ones would be perfect.

I also spotted this little floral choker which will no doubt dress up any outfit, including my sparkly jumper; It was only £2.00 which is such a bargain! I also noticed this sparkly silver bangle which immediately caught my attention. When it comes to bracelets usually I only wear my Pandora, however as I'm not feeling very glam with my outfit choices, I thought this bit of bling would jazz up any outfit. 

Although its still quite mild for this time of year, I thought it was about time that I picked up some essentials. By this I mean a bobbly hat, gloves and furry headband. I decided to go for cream/white accessories this year as it just goes with everything. I adore the bobble hat, it just makes me feel all wintery and cosy. I also thought I'd be a bit brave with the headband as I thought it would look really nice with my hair down and curly.

So as you can see I really didn't go all out, I was very good but thought it was worth showing off what I did get. Have you been to Primark recently? Let me know what you picked up?

Lots of Love

Primark Haul

This weekend I decided to do a little spending and paid a visit to Primark. The one in my town is tiny and utterly rubbish, however down the road is Peterborough and they have the most amazing Primark store and I had a lot of fun walking around the shops and popping bits in my basket. I don't know about you, but I love seeing what people pick up in Primark as they don't have an online store, so I thought I would share with you all the little bits and bobs that I picked up.

Black & White Printed Trousers £9.00

I love bold prints and as soon as I saw these black and white printed trousers I fell in love with them. I thought that these would be perfect for spring/summer as they are so easy and comfortable to wear. These trousers are really lightweight and have been made from a silky sort of material. These are going to look perfect worn casually in the day time, or dressed up with a blazer and some heels in the evening.

Printed Coral Shorts £4.00

These printed shorts had to be my top find of the day, as soon as I saw this bright beautiful bold print I just had to take them home with me. I'm really loving printed things at the moment and these are going to look amazing come summer time, especially with festival season just around the corner. Again, like the trousers I picked up these are made from a silky lightweight material which, so they will be perfect for holidays too.

Distressed Tee £4.00

I've been seeing these distressed tees popping up on YouTube and other blogs recently and I had in mind when I went into Primark that I wanted to pick one up. I love this minted green colour, so gorgeous for this time of year. I love these tees for casual lazy days and as they are pretty long, they work perfectly with leggings.

Black & White Stripe Strap Top £3.00

When ever I venture into Primark, I will always pick up some basics which include little black strap tops and among them I saw this black and white stripped one. I love a bit of monochrome and paired with some black trousers I thought I would be able to dress this basic top up a little.

Sports Bra £4.00

You all know by now that I love the gym and working out, so I will never pass an opportunity to pick up new gym clothing. I spotted this neon orange and grey sports bra and fell in love with it in an instant. Primark have some amazing gym clothing in their stores right now, and new gym gear is the perfect way to motivate yourself into going to the gym.

Black Wedges £12.00

I have a love hate relationship with heels and wearing them everyday for work really takes its toll on my poor little feet. However I always find wedges much comfier and easier to walk in, so I was so drawn to these wedges. I love how smart they look with their closed rounded toes, but they also have a summer look to them with their espadrille wedge, super cute!

Handbag £4.00

I love little over the shoulder handbags, they are so convenient for those quick dashes to the shops, food shopping in particular; Sometimes its just not practical to carry a massive handbag around with you. I love the detailing around the edges of this handbag and seeing as its pretty small, it manages to hold a lot of stuff - Tried and tested ladies!

Statement Necklace £5.00

It's been quite a while since I picked up any jewelry from Primark as I went off it for a while. However I fell in love with this statement necklace immediately! I love how its a little bit different with its tribal fabric detailing and I just know that this is going to jazz up so many outfits. 

So that's evening this I bought at Primark this weekend, I would love to know if you've picked up anything from there recently, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Lots of Love

Primark Flase Eyelashes

Hiya Girlies! I hope your week has been kicking off to a good start. I wanted to share with you this evening another obsession that seams to have taken hold of me recently, which is false eyelashes. Now I'm no stranger when it comes to applying false eyelashes, if I'm going on a night out then I will always pop them on. But recently I've gone a bit TOWIE you could say and I seam to want to wear whenever I've got time to apply them. 

As we all know, no false eyelash lasts forever, I don't know about you but I normally get about 2 or 3 wears per set of lashes before there due for the bin. My favourite lash brand has to be Eylure as they are just perfect for my lashes, but with the average price of £5.00 per pack and with me wearing them so often can have a nasty effect on my bank account. But its OK because I've found the perfect cheap alternative lash and I am in love with them. These are Primark's Very Fluttering Sultry Lashes which only cost £1.00. Not only are the lashes cheap as chips, they also create a fabulous everyday look as they are very natural looking on and in no way OTT. 

I think these lashes are also perfect if you were like me and a bit of a novice when it comes to applying false lashes (practice really does make perfect ladies, and I've been doing plenty of that recently!) If you mess up, get frustrated and want to though them away, you know you've not broken the bank with only spending £1.00 on them.

The only teeny downside to these amazing lashes has to be the adhesive glue that comes with them, its shockingly bad! I must be honest and say that before trying the glue I didn't have high hopes for it, but being the beauty blogger I am, I had to give it ago. Don't get me wrong it did keep the lashes in place and hold them where they needed to be, but I found the ends of the lashes kept lifting up and it needed constant re-applying which was a pain. If you are wanting to wear these for a long period of time, and be lash hastle free I would recommend buying a lash glue. A favourite one of mine has to be Revlon's Precision Dark Lash Adhesive which you can buy from Boots or Tesco. 

Apart from the glue issue, these Primark Lashes are fab and I'm pretty sure that they do fuller and thicker lashes too for those of you who are wanting more of a dramatic/evening look. 

Have you tired these Primark Lashes? Let me know your thoughts babes!

Holiday Haul!

Hello Beauties! As you may have guessed by the title that I have a haul post for you all this evening. But first of all I just wanted to apologise for being absent from my blog for two whole weeks. It wasn't planned, which is why there was no warning!

The last two weeks have just been a bit mental! To sum it up very quickly for you all:  It's been raining, its been baking, I've been training and working crazy hours, as well as taking my dog to and from the vets and also throwing the occasional night out in there as well.

Things have finally calmed down, so expect to see regular posts from me again and of course I've been working on the mini series that I mentioned in my last post (here)

 The F.A.B (Fashion & Beauty) Summer Essential Guide A-Z

The first post of this will be coming up for you very soon, I promise. I will also promise to have a good catch up session with everyone else's blogs also, as I've not just neglected my own blog, but the whole blogging world. 

So on to today's post!... At the weekend I went out shopping for my holiday (I'm so excited and will be flying out to Turkey in just over two weeks). As I've not been on a proper sunbathing holiday in years I had some much needed essentials to get and what better place to go other than Primark!
