Chitter chatter

Hey Blogletss,
I have not done a post in ages AGAIN. Rather sorry, I have been a little busy looking at university options eeekk! Time does fly.
Also once again I am ill, jeez you'd think I'd stop being such a sick person but no, so getting out of bed feels not so good. However as soon as I'm feeling chipper, I will rush up to get a post up for you blogletts.
Hope you don't mind too much, if there is anything you want me to do, I will take note and try and fulfill your request.
Bye for now xx

London Haul - Camden Market & Westfields

Hey Blogletts,
So to celebrate no more exams ... till January .... we descided to take a trip to London. We thought it would be nice to go to Camden Market, WOW , I thought it was going to be an up and down market but boy was I wrong. It is HUGE and scattered everywhere, we didn't buy things really from stools but more from the little shops.
First of all I picked up a little headscarf from a retro vintage shop, I have wanted one for a while and loved this pattern so couldn't resist.


Then I have been searching for a Joy Division T-Shirt ever since I saw Jen from 'clothes encounters' wearing one, and finally my quest is over. I love this and think it will look great with leggings.

So it is my Mum's birthday soon and she is into old niknak type things so when I saw this sign I had to get it for her.


Then we moved on to Westfields, the second best place in the world, after Selfridges.
Now I had a traumatic time in Forever 21, my friend takes hours to try things on and look so hot, flustered and sore feet does not = happy Holly no no no. But I did find this jacket which was a bit contraversial. I hated it on the hanger but thought to myself I need a jacket I have none so tried it on and it was love. It is a cross between a jacket and a blazer so can be dressed up or down, sooo versatile.

Then this is where the damage was done, Zara. I love Zara, it is my favourite shop and I want to live in there, the clothes are nice, the layout is nice and the staff are nice - important in my books.
Now there has been a jacket flying round Youtube and the Blogging world and I thought well maybe I should look out for it but in doing this I found something way better, oh yes. It is a denim jacket, which I have wanted for ages, with p-leather sleeves. I am in LOVE. It was £40 but in my eyes well worth it. I may have freaked out the cashier by saying to my friend 'I am going to live in it and even patch it up if it breaks.' She also got a jacket, not the same one, and we were sooo happy.



Anyway I hope you enjoyed this haul.
Anything on your wishlist for this month?

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo - Eternal Gold

Hey Blogletts,
So there has been a huge craze over these products by Maybelline so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and get one, I tried to resist but I couldn't for much longer.
For those of you crazy cats that don't know what these are, they are a gel-cream shadow, quite comparable with MAC paint pots but at a fraction of the price, yay.
So I picked up the colour 05 - Eternal Gold, which is a shimmery gold champagne colour, perfect light colour for summer!

This lasts a long time, suggested by the 24hr in the name. I'm not too sure it would last 24hrs as I don't tend to wear my makeup for longer that 5-6 hours but it lasts pretty well for that time. These are perfect bases for powder shadows or look great on their own. As I'm a bit paranoid that my eyeshadows are going to crease, so I will always set cream products so I am not too sure whether it will crease or not however I have read other reviews and most people say they do not crease.


Overall this is such a good product and I really reccomend these to everyone, also got my eyes on the shade 'on and on bronze'.
I hope this has been helpful and let me know what your favourite cream eyeshadow is.

Magazine of the month #2 - Glamour

Hey Blogletts,
So a while a go I did a 'Magazine of the month' post on where you got a free soap and glory mascara with InSyle I think.
Well it is not that time of the year where Glamour teams up with Benefit, last year they had benetint and highbeam, this year there is a choice between 'bad gal lash' mascara, 'that gal' primer or 'the porefessional' primer.







Well I have wanted to try the porefessional for a long time now so of course I jumped at the chance. It is a pretty incy sample however the full size bottle isn't that big anyway so it isn't a big deal.


I may have gone a little crazy and have got 3 ..... but it my defence the magazine is only £2 compared to the product being at £23 ish.
Hope this has been helpful
Bye for now xx
