Would love for christmas

Helloooo guys. Again, I'm having to apologise for not posting anything in a long while. It's been a mad couple of weeks. Anyway here's a little wishlist! Enjoy.

1. Jersey Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop
2. Lip Crayon In Arcade- £7 from Topshop 
3. Kristen. Green Gemstone Necklace- £16 from Regal Rose
4. Green Speckle Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop
5. A Million Kisses Lip Tint- £5.50 from Lush
6. Vitamin E Hand And Nail Treatment- £8 from The Body Shop
7. Nails In Ashes And Fire- £6 from Topshop 
8. Grey Marl Speckle Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop

Fairly Topshop heavy post but I just love these skirts! Also, I already have the lip crayon. It's a lovely plum/red colour when applied lightly but quite purple when put on heavily. When I want to go for a bolder colour I like to mix it in with a red shade to get a deep burgundy. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend! Can't wait for Christmas to get here. Thanks for reading.x

I went shopping

Hello all! I hope you're all well. I did some shopping today and thought I'd share some of my purchases! 

 

This is lovely purse that I wanted from a previous post. It cost me £12 from Accessorize. I love how it looks and how it's set out. The colour is gorgeous however the photos don't do it justice as I took them in the evening and the lighting in my room is awful. 

If you like what you see, you can purchase this purse from here

I've been meaning to buy this lip butter for ages now and only got around to it today. It's a lovely smelling, lovely tasting, dragon fruit lip butter from The Body Shop. It cost me £4 but I didn't mind because 100% of the profits go to charity! 75% will go to the charity you choose out of the ones The Body Shop are supporting and the other 15% will go to The Body Shop Foundation which is their own charity.

Here you can find out some more information about the campaign and here is where you can buy this lovely lip butter. I have to say, I'm not sure how you choose your charity online however you definitely can in store

 

I wasn't going to buy a jumper but I saw this in H&M and couldn't resist! It's so soft and I've wanted a grey jumper for a while. This jumper cost me £12.99 which I think is a steal compared to the prices of some jumpers at the moment. Most of the ones I see are £20+. You may have to wear something underneath it as it's a little see through, but in this weather I don't find layering up to be a problem.

I can't actually find a link to the jumper on the H&M site so you're going to have to root around the shop I'm afraid!

On another note I am absolutely drowning in revision. I've got a biology test next Monday, a physics text next Friday and I still have tonnes of EPQ research and writing to do. Sigh. I hope your week is going better than mine. Thanks for reading.x

Things arrived!

Mimmi singlet in whipped mint from Monki- £4
Colours- whipped mint, mellow me yellow, candy tongue 
The top is lovely however for me, I find it's a little low under the arms and my bra strap shows. It's a lovely colour though so if you like it and you are concious of this you could easily wear a bandeau underneath or something.

 Almira bag maps from Monki- £6
I really like this bag. The map pattern on it is beautiful. I'm really glad I bought it. It's really spacious too so  it would quite comfortably accommodate my books and folders. I am a bit weary of using it at college though because it's so nice and I don't want it to get ruined!


Coconut body butter from The Body Shop- £13.00 (I purchased it for £8.45 on sale)
This body butter smells amazing however I haven't had a chance to use it. I have lots of Soap and Glory body butter that I got earlier this year and I was going to wait until it was finished but I think I'll give it a sneaky try and perhaps post a review.

My life at the moment

I've not really been sure about what to post recently so I thought I'd just do a load of pictures summarising my life at this moment in time. Considering I don't have photoshop I'm pretty pleased with this!

1. I'm doing a lot of revision recently (thanks A-levels) so I've given different days different priorities. Today is my "maths day", which includes a lot of mechanics revision as I have the exam in January. Hooray.
2. Again, more maths. I've not started C4 at the moment so it's just C3. I'm also doing a C1 retake in January so I'm trying to revise that too.
3. I ordered this top from Monki the other day and I'm really excited for it to get here. It was on sale and only cost me £4!
4. I ordered this bag from Monki as well. This cost £6 but was not on sale. It was all good until I saw how much the postage and packaging was (£6!). I bought them both anyway though because they're both lovely and a bag and top from town would probably cost more than £16. 
5. UCAS- ugh. My tutor submitted my application recently and I wasn't aware until I got an email from UCAS telling me that they had it. Luckily there was nothing I wanted to change on it. I know that Leicester currently have my application and are considering it but I don't know about any of the others yet! It's all pretty terrifying. 
6. I know everyone and their mother has velvet clothes at the moment but I love this velvet skirt from Topshop and really want it. Maybe it'll be mine once I get some more money.
7. I thought these raccoon gloves from Accessorize were really cute and would quite like them for the winter. It's getting cooler and cooler outside. I can't be doing with waking up while it's still dark either, it's so demotivating! 
8. This lovely lad is Orlando Higginbottom a.k.a Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and I have the pleasure of seeing him live on Tuesday! I'm so excited! 
9. This is a really nice, basic skirt from River Island  which would go well with quite a few of my tops and jumpers. Hopefully I can get my hands on it soon! 
10. I ordered this coconut body butter a couple of days ago from The Body Shop and I'm eagerly anticipating using it.  

So that's me at the moment! I doubt I have any readers but feel free to comment with what you're up to recently. Is there anything you've got your eye on for this winter? 

Thanks for reading!x

Seaweed!

So I'm still getting to grips with this so I thought I'd do a second post on some seaweed products I recently bought from The Body Shop and am really happy with!

Tada!
I was using some of their tea tree products before these (the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner and the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash). Those were really good and did make a small difference but I didn't think they were really what I needed for my skin type (combination). I went onto The Body Shop website and used their online skin diagnostic tool and it recommended trying the seaweed range. I thought there's no harm in giving them a go and they really are great!
Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

I use this every evening before bed. In my opinion I do feel that my face looks less shiny after I've used it. This isn't too useful before bed because obviously no one will see me when I'm asleep however it does also remove any make up my make up wipes may have missed and smells lovely! Not to mention my face feels nice and fresh before bed.
Seaweed Clarifying Toner

 I use this in the mornings before I put my make up on. I just pour some onto a cotton pad and wipe it around my face and neck. As it says on the bottle it is really refreshing, especially when you feel groggy in the morning. It does clear my skin quite effectively and makes me feel nice and fresh. I usually wear foundation  to mattify my skin rather than to cover up spots as I have a fairly good complexion, but I haven't really felt the need to use foundation so much since using these products!

Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

I aim to use this once a week. The tub says that you can use it up to twice a week however I was told in the shop by a worker that this can sometimes make your face more oily due to an excess of chemicals. The clay mask is a greyish colour and has quite a thick consistency. When you put it on your face it does harden so I have to confine myself to my room and not talk to anyone for 10 minutes or so. When I wash it off, my skin does feel a lot nicer. It feels fresh and clean and it does look less shiny.

I really like these products and recommend them to anyone with oily/combination skin. They work really well for me however take what I've said with a pinch of salt because obviously it will vary from person to person. I love The Body Shop in general. All of their products seem to be of a high quality and they believe in some really good causes. I've ordered some Coconut Body Butter from there today and I'm really excited to use it!
I'll let you know what I think.
