Shopping haul

So my blogger reading darlings, this is a very quick post with just a few things I had picked up in the past week. I am very, very skint at the moment and need to save to go to Donegal next week so these are my justified spending's as they are mostly sale items.
 
 
 
I bought a cream blusher from Topshop that was on sale for only £3.00. I've been wearing this a lot lately and it really is great for a flush of colour. At first I was weary that it was too pink, but just one dot and it goes on very sheer. This cream blusher is in shade 'sneakpeek' and it is great to buff into the skin or just to rub in with your fingers. I don't think I would have bought it at full price though. I also bought from Topshop their liner brush. This is really great, and only for £4.00 it was really affordable. I use this for lining my eyes and also for smudging in my eyeliner for a softer finish and it gives great definition and easy to use. I also got a cheeky 10% discount on both items, being a skint student has its perks, even if it is just 70p.
 
 
 
 
 
The next two items come from one of my favourite shops ever. I adore Argento for affordable and high quality jewellery. I mainly buy from their Karma line of products but they cater for everyone and have a wide range of lines including Thomas Sabo, Pilgrimage and Pandora. In Belfast, there is this great Argento sale shop where I got these two beauties. I love big chandelier earrings and Argento is usually my go to place for these, along with cocktail statement rings. So I got these beautiful blue earrings for £5 and the very heavy perfume bottle chain for £8 in the sale.
 
 
 
 
 
I bought these little gems from Primark. The earrings were only £2.50 and the matching statement necklace was only £4. I was on the hunt for a good statement necklace and I love the pastel gem colours. I spotted a gorgeous statement piece in topshop for £60!!! No thank you, wouldn't even buy it at sale price. Some places really charge extortionate prices for costume jewellery.


Thats about it lovelies. All the best until then.

Blog sale featuring L'oreal, Illamasqua, Armani, Rimmel and lots more!

I'm having a wee blog sale. Being a skint student still on the job hunt (which is so hard, I have been trying everywhere and to no avail) so i'm selling off a lot of my stuff. I have an ebay page too if you would like to have a nosey.

All payments are to be made by PayPal, so leave a comment below with what you would like or email me below at niamhg23@live.co.uk because that is my PayPal address.

I will send all items 2nd class Royal Mail p+p. I will try and add as many items in the one parcel to keep the postage down. This will cost £2.60. If you would like it recorded then this will have to be extra. The books will be £3.00 and again, I will try to fit everything into one parcel to keep costs down.

If you are buying just single jewellery items then this will cost 90p (except the bangles due to the size and weight of them) with any extra items at 20p each. Again, if there will be multiple items then I will have to put it into a parcel which will cost £2.60.

A lot of my items are new and unused. Those that have been used have only been used once or twice, the foundation has really only been swatched as they are the wrong shade for me and are basically full. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I am open to an offers or a combined price for multiple items.

Enjoy xx

My perfumes

Hi lovelies!

I thought I would do a little post on the perfumes that I have and which I love! Im funny about my perfumes, I hate light floral scents, they are not for me! Or scents that smell too citrusy, they make me sneeze uncontrollably, im looking at you DKNY!

I will not go into the whole top notes and base notes details of them all, basically because I dont know what they have and I dont understand it. I love a scent that is luxurious and one spray will last the whole day, so im attracted to heavier, muskier and woody scents. And these are basically my go to scents, I dont have one perfume that my friends would associate me with as they associate all of them with me ha! I definitely spray according to my mood and to the clothes that im wearing, that sounds daft but everything has to work for my whole outfit. I dont want to be wearing a killer outfit that is making me feel strong and powerful with full red lips and sky high heels with a weak, floral scent as it would upset my whole look and depresses me.

So in no particular order I LOVE:

Jean Paul Gaultier classique EDT
Prada Candy EDP (Love this!)
Roberto Cavalli EDP
Girorgio Armani Diamonds EDP (probably the sweeter scent that I own, but I surprisingly like it)
Lacoste Pour Feme EDP (very light, doesnt have great lasting power but its beautiful, like a soft powder)
Ghost EDP
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDT (this is my 'special' scent, already asking for the EDP for my birthday)
Vera Wang Princess EDT

I also own Thierry Mugler Alien that I usually wear daily but that is in one of my many handbags.

And I also love Fan Di Fendi by Fendi, that is a proper grown up scent with undertones of leather that just blew my mind! Mother has bought me that for a gift so I dont own it just yet.

Out of all the perfumes I would have to say that Jean Paul and Vera Wang have been the longest love affairs that I have, they are always put on my Christmas list and have been wearing these since I was 14. The others are definitely becoming my signature scents that I will definitely be buying again, I always get compliments when wearing them which is what everybody wants.

I always carry perfume with me, so its a given that in every of my bags you will find perfume, handcream and lip balm.

I dont have a fancy shelf or dressing table to have them on display unfortunately as my room is too small, so they are kept in a little drawer away from direct light and heat that can ruin the fragrance. I love opening this drawer and having a little rummage of what I should smell like today :)

What do you think of my collection? Do you own any of these scents or what do you prefer?

Let me know below x
