You're superficial, I'm a misfit.

Hi lovelies!  

Thought i'd post about a few things i've unintentionally purchased lately.  Oh, also my blog title is a lyric out of Amy Studt - Misfit, inspired by that bit in 50 shades of Grey where Ana is dancing around in the kitchen making breakfast in Christian's delicious house.  Is anybody else hooked on that?  I think I am possibly the only girl that doesn't find Christian Grey an absolute creepy slime-ball of a guy?!  Anyway, moving on...

I have to share my duvet cover with you, saw it first on milkteef's blog and lusted after it for ages thinking it'd be mega expensive then I found it in Tesco for £14!  I absolutely love it, i'm beyond obsessed with overly floral prints.  My boyfriend treated me to this Soap and Glory perfume just out of the blue cause he's a good boyfriend!  It smells exactly like all of the Soap and Glory products but I wish it's staying power was just that teeny bit longer!  It's really strong when you first spritz yourself in it though.

I must get through about a bottle of dry shampoo every few weeks, i've become so dependant on it now it's unbelievable.  Whenever I see it on half price (currently in Superdrug) I couldn't not pick it up! I'm running low on St Moriz too, FYI, the best fake tan in the world.  This was just £2.99 from Savers.  I absolutely love Savers recently.  Everything's so cheap and cheerful.  

I've been wanting to try a hair Oil product for a while now so when I came across this one in Superdrug for £6.99, I picked it up without a second thought.  I've just been running it through the ends of my hair to make it a little less frizzy and manageable.  I'm loving it so far and it smells delicious.  Had to pick up a mini hand food too for £2.50 whilst I was perusing Boots because my big hand food is nearly finished :( boo.

AH, another Savers bargain!  I should've photographed these all together really.  I'd redo them but its 9.42pm and I don't think the lighting would really work out for me.  These were a £1 each! HOW CUTE?! I adore everything Hello Kitty so definitely wasn't going to walk out of the shop without these.  There's 40 in a pack too, they're great for sensitive skin and they smell gorgeous. Win win. 

I've been after this Models Own nail varnish in Disco Mix for ages after seeing it on various blogs.  This was £5 which, is maybe a little OTT but I do love it.  I hate the way my nail varnish just seems to peel off with glitter nail varnishes though.  Ah, another disaster photograph here, this nail varnish remover was again from Savers.  It reminds me of the ridiculously overpriced Bourjois price but for only 79p.  You could buy 5 of these or 1 of Bourjois'! Mental!

The next little earrings are my new loves in life!  I've worn them everyday since I've bought them so far.  I saw these on Sophie in Geordie Shore and knew I had to have them.  Ok, they aren't the exact same ones as I know hers are Tresor Paris.  These are from Warren James, they have a closing down sale on at the moment and they were 2 for £15, they come in a wide range of colours.  I wanted them all! 

The pair of shoes are from H&M.  I did love them when I bought them but I've worn them once for work and they absolutely killed my feet.  I guess I just need to break them in more.  The sparkles are what attracted me too them, i'm some sort of magpie!  They were 15 great british pounds which I think is more than reasonable seeing as though they are actually really well made.

That's my little haul guys! Hope you enjoyed it :)

Lay with me, I'll lay with you.

I'VE GOT MY BLOGGING MOJO BACK! YAY!  After finally losing it for so long, I am thrilled to pieces to have it back and now just find myself wanting to blog constantly. 

I recently went to London for a couple of days with my boyfriend for his birthday.  I say recently, it was actually 29th June!  We had a fantastic time and stayed in such a gorgeous hotel but I decided to wear my new vans since we were doing lots of walking.  I thought i'd cheekily selected the comfy option but my heels decided to bless me with beautiful blisters (if you could sense sarcasm through blogs, you should sense it now).  Luckily I managed to acquire a plaster though and changed in to my comfy flip flops!

It's been a massive dream of mine to go on an open top tour bus, i've always wanted to go on one but people i've been with at the time have always thought it was ridiculous!  It was actually such a nice experience.  The weather was stupidly warm, it always seems to be in London though so it was nice to be on an open top bus with the wind in your hair, making it all knotty.

We had dinner on Friday night at a place called 'Rainforest Cafe'.  I'd never heard of it before and from the outside I was reluctant to go in as I thought it looked jam packed.  Once we got in though, I loved it!  If any of you have been there before, you'll know how great it is.  I don't recommend going with a headache though because the moving animals and occasional loud thunderstorms might be a bit of a problem ;)  The food was delicious, we even shared a pudding too cause well, you've got to really haven't you!

I wanted to buy all of these little beauties on the spot!  I actually love cute teddies!  N'AWWWW!

After a frightful tube ride, we arrived at our hotel.  We stayed in the Raddison,  we could see the millennium dome from our window.  I don't know why but there's something about tubes that make me feel really panicky!  I guess I'm just not used to the hustle and bustle of London Town.  Our hotel was out of this world and I swear the bed was the comfiest bed ever, I might have just been extremely tired though.  

After an hour and a half of pleasant queuing, we were finally admitted in to Madame Tussauds.  It was overly busy and you literally couldn't move.  It made the experience a lot less fun for me but nevertheless I still got a few cheeky snaps!  Some of the waxworks were out of this world, especially the Amy Winehouse one.  I wonder how long it takes to make a waxwork?!

We were so tired after our two days in London and were happy to get on the coach for a lovely little ride back to Norwich.  We both had a great time though!  I couldn't see myself living in London, it's just SO busy.  How do you Londoners cope?!

50% off ELF Products - Haul.

Hi lovelies, hope you're all having a delightful weekend!  So upsetting that it's Sunday already, seriously, where does the weekend go?!

On Wednesday evening I decided to place an ELF order as I received an email promoting the 50% off all products offer they have on at the moment (ONLY FOR ANOTHER 10 HOURS OR SO THOUGH!).  Every time I order off ELF, I find myself maybe using the products once and not touching them again for months.  I vowed to myself that I wouldn't place any more orders but I can't resist such a brilliant offer!  The postage was excellent too, free because I'd ordered over £30 and was delivered on Saturday morning.

I've cheated a little bit and copied my order from the Eyes Lips Face website just because it makes it easier to include the shades/exact names and prices of everything;

Concealer	Beige	£1.88
Studio Cream Blush	Temptress	£3.25
luscious liquid lipstick	Cherry Tart	£0.75
Eyebrow Treat and Tame	NEW - Ash	£1.88
therapeutic conditioning lip balm	Blackberry Crème	£0.75
Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths	Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths	£1.88
Studio Eyelashes Kit	Studio Eyelashes	£1.88
Element	Glow	£0.75
Shimmer sheets	Golden	£1.88
False Lashes	Dramatic Lash Kit	£0.75
False Lashes	Natural Lash Kit	£0.75
clarifying pressed powder	Apricot Beige (tone 1)	£0.75
Eyebrow Lifter and Filler	ash/ivory	£1.88
Flawless Finish Foundation	Sand	£3.38
clarifying pressed powder	Rosy Beige	£0.75
Single Eyeshadow	Raspberry Truffle	£1.88
studio conditioning lip balm SPF 15	mellow melon	£1.88
Element	Compact	£0.75
Element	Moondust	£0.75
Element	Dusk	£0.75

I'm actually quite disappointed with my order.  The foundation, face powders and concealer are all a hideous orange shade.  I mean, really, who has orange skin?!  I'm really impressed with the single eyeshadow in raspberry truffle so far, it's actually gorgeous! I'm not going to explain it any more because I'm going to blog a FOTD including it soon :D  I'm so excited to try the Shimmer Sheets, they seem really interesting.  I need to play with more of this makeup before I give a more detailed opinion on it.  


If there's anything you'd like a review on, then just ask because I'd be more than happy to review any of these products.  Also, if you'd like to order, the 50% offer is on for about an other 10 hours I believe, so get your orders in quick at www.eyeslipface.co.uk
