Manchester shopping trip.

I went to Manchester on Monday with my mum to go shopping, id been saving for quite some time to had a fair amount of money to spend, i was aiming to some xmas shopping but that failed miserably!
Heres some of my purchases (only the purchases worthy for a photo, i didnt want to include sock, gloves ect ha)

  
  • I went a bit mad in Selfridges food hall and was a sucker for the american food section as always, i bought 3 boxes of lucky charms as i looove them.
  • Stopped off at Disney and got that gorge minnie mouse beaker :)
  • Some nail stickers in pink leopard print, and benefit's Hoola bronzer (ive suprisingly never had this)
  • The new Rihanna album, and Glee Christmas album.
  • next i bought 3 models own nail polishes, this brand is my fave at the moment, despite some rubbish colours, they dry really quickly and the brush is good, i got , golddigger, champagne and purple ash!
  • Lush's snow fairy, could only buy a small bottle as they were out of stock of larger ones :(
  • A new Tiffany necklace, yes Tiffany :) i have always loved Tiffany, and recieved my first piece last year, and really want to collect them. Heres a closer look...



I also went to the MAC counter in selfridges, but that will be my next blog post! 
hope your all well

NOTD

This is my fav nail polish ever!!


China glaze - for Audrey. This is such a famous polish as it matches the classic tiffany blue colour. I use this with the nails inc caviar top coat and it lasts a good 3 days! I bought this on eBay for a very cheap price of £5 ! Keep a look out for it as it is very rare :) Xo

A few new purchases..

I popped into my local Boots today just for a look around, not going for anything specific.
Here is what i picked up..



I have heard about the "good things" skin care range before but have never actually tried anything from the line. I decided to pick up the Mattifying moistuiser. It smells devine, and the tube is pretty big so for £7.99 i think this is a really good buy, i will update you in a week so about how i find the product on my skin.

The next is the Umberto Giannini range, i got backcomb in a bottle ages ago and i love it, i have repurchased it a few times, and next really wanted the dry shampoo, so thats what i got , i have heard such good reviews about it im hoping it will take over my love for Batiste.In Boots at the moment its 2 UG products for £7.50 , so considering 1 product is £5.50 i thought it would be silly not to pick up something else, so i chose the extreme hairspray, i actually havent read a review about this at all, but im a sucker for volume and big hair, so im hoping this was a good buy!

2 Unloved products!

Firstly this is only my opinion and these products could look great on others!, just not on me..
first up..


Benefit's Dandelion powder - I bought this thinking it was a really pretty pink beauty powder, but the pay off isnt all that good. Its way to shimmery for me and leaves sparkles everywhere. some people may like that but i prefer a much more matte finish and i felt this left me glittery, also the brush isnt good.



next up Models Own, "Fuzzy Peach" - Bought this in the summer expected a nice peachy coral colour, started to apply it and it is a horrible neon orange. I hate neon polishes and expecially orange. The formulation was also rubbish, it was streaky and needed at least 3 coats ! I normally LOVE models own polishes but i think this is a baddy.
