Cushion Haul!


 Hello :-)
Here are some cushions that I got for my bedroom last week. I sort of love cushions, especially at this time of year. They are so cosy and pretty..hehe,
Anyway, all these cushions are from Dunelm. The first two cushions were in the sale at £6 each and I love the pattern and the pop of mustard colour. The second heart cushion adds some texture and cost £10. And finally the little pillow-shaped cushions with the cute leafy patterns cost £8.99 each.
 As you can probably tell my room is very pink/cream themed and these cushions go perfectly!
Let me know any thoughts in the comments below. 
I will try and post more often ..promise!

September's Sixth Form Fashion Wishlist


Hi everyone! I haven't posted for agesss.. and the reason why? In a word (or two) Sixth Form. 
So it seems to make sense that this blog post was a bit sixth form inspired for anyone else who is busy studying at school. A great thing about Sixth Form is that most places in the UK, we no longer have to wear uniform, but sometimes it can be difficult to find something to wear! So here are a few ideas if anyone would like a little help with some inspiration! I really really love all the items here, let my know what you think!

Ps. Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a Topshop Foundation Brush >>> Here! There are 9 days left to enter :-) Good Luck!

Bedroom Accessories Haul!



 Hello!
At the moment I am in the process of completely transforming my bedroom so I have been collecting cute little accessories that just add that little extra detail and personal touches which bring a bedroom space to life. When my bedroom is completely finished in the next few weeks I will do a full room tour post for you :-)
So.. to get started, the first thing is a really pretty white jug from Sainsburys which was in the home accessories sale for £5! It has a little heart on it which says ' 100 & Organic 1869 Lavender Floral Waters' which I think is so cute! I will use it as a vase and put some pink roses in there or maybe some fresh lavender.
The next thing I got was some thermal lined curtains (cosy!) from Dunelm which cost £39.99 and are from their Chinoiserie Collection which is so pretty! They are really good quality curtains and I love them :)
The next thing is also from Dunelm - A cream flower collection' bin which only cost £6.99 and is a great accessory to keep in the corner of your bedroom. They also have other products in their 'flower' collection and I think it would look great to have some of the other matching stuff too!
 Also I picked up some little pink candles from sainsburys which cost around £2 for 6. The heart candle holder in the middle is a 'frosted glass tea light' which cost £1.49 from Dunelm's classic elegance collection. The candles look really sweet on my dressing table and smell really subtle and lovely - I think the fragrance was called apple blossom.
Finally, the other day I went to Ikea and got  a tea light lantern which hangs from my clothes rail. It has cut out star detail which is really cute. I also got some fairy lights to go around my dressing table or bed frame. The lantern was only £2 and the fairy lights are £5 and the batteries to go with them are £1.50 from Ikea. You could even put the fairy lights inside the lantern for a different effect! I think both these things are great from Autumn as they make my room so much more cosy - I love Autumn!
I hope you enjoyed this haul and maybe gave you some inspiration for your own room.

Make-up Storage solutions!


Clear Storage holders - T K Max £7.99 and £3.99
White Pot - Ikea

Hello :-)
Recently I got a new dressing table for my room which is being completely re-decorated and  I want it to look as pretty as possible - therefore I like to have my nicest make up bits on display!
 Yesterday in T K Max I found 2 clear storage holders, one with lots of different spaces to put different things in and one specifically for holding lipsticks. They look so nice and they are really useful too. I have used the larger one to store foundation, perfumes, mascara, rings, eyeliner, etc, and it has space for loads more things including lipsticks or mini nail varnishes,  without taking up too much space on my dressing table. The lipstick holder is also really cute and holds up to 9 lipsticks.
Another idea is this little White Ikea pot which seems to be really popular amongst bloggers, probably it is the perfect size to store your make up brushes and it is also really pretty and decorative. I can't remember how much it cost but it was definitely under a fiver!
Please leave any thoughts below!

Rimmel London Palette 024 Pinkadilly Circus Review



 Today In boots I picked up the Rimmel London Pinkadilly Circus Palette for £6.99 which has 5 colours which are all shimmer, which I liked the look of.
There is a dark brown (1), 2 highlight colours ( 3 & 4 ), a deep pink (5) and a lighter pink (2)! They aren't very pigmented but I think a primer would help bring the colours out. This palette is probably what you would expect from a drug store brand make up. They are good if you are on a budget but I think they don't compare to higher brand eye shadows so spending out more on brands like MAC or Urban Decay is much better value for money in the long run!
Despite this I think the colours are really pretty and I also really like the packaging, although it comes with a little sponge applicator that I wouldn't personally use to apply eye shadow.
Over all this palette is ok - but I think I would rather put £7 towards a higher brand eyeshadow :-)
