Mini haul and update..

Sorry I have been slightly MIA for the past week, I have been busy finishing off exams and coursework for classes..poo. But luckily I have a holiday coming up and 3weeks off work! So I have no excuses for slacking on the blog front now! I also thought I would share with you that I'm really excited at the moment as my boyfriend is  flying in from Germany on Tuesday. He is German and lives over there so sometimes I don't get to see him as much as I wish, however whatever time we do get together we make the most of.

Anyway getting on to what you are really interested in these are some of the things I have purchased through the past week-

Jersey high waisted A-line skirt, Topshop £16-


I picked up this skirt as I didn't have a classic black skirt that I could wear with everything and that was flattering. This one is an absolute bargain, and sits beautifully on draping nicely at the front. I would recommend this to anyone needing a lovely wear anywhere skirt that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

Slouchy navy blue knit jumper, Topshop £20-


This I also got on my visit to topshop. I had my eye on this ages ago when it was full price, but my boyfriend told me I didn't need anymore jumpers. But when I noticed it had gone on sale I thought it would be the perfect buy for the winter/spring/summer transition period. It is a lovely soft fine knit that would be great for layering under a jacket if its a bit chilly or on its own on a nice spring day when its a little on the warm side for something bulky, but not warm enough for just a tee or vest. It is a very nice shape that falls off the shoulder slightly and has a flattering neckline for those blessed in the chest area. It also come in a white and coral colour if you prefer something brighter! 

Silver small cross earrings, River island £3-
These I got from River island when I popped in to have a little look. I did have other cross earrings but misplaced them somewhere, so got these as a replacement.Great cheap everyday piece of jewellery.

Studio sculpt concealer NC15, MAC £13.50-
I was running low on concealer, so went into the MAC store to get myself a new pot. I am pretty pale and although this isn't an exact match for me it is the closest I have gotten. Studio sculpt is great for covering up any redness and the occasional blemish which I do suffer from, I would say it is a full coverage concealer but is good all year round if used with a setting powder in summer as it can slide in warmer climates.

Creme sheen lipstick in creme cup, MAC £13-


I think this was possibly one of the first mac lipsticks I ever purchased, I have re-purchased this for the third time now. For a while I was 'off ' this lipstick as I was finding it a bit thick and cakey, but then last week I thought I would wear it then realized I was all out. Even though it is no longer one of my favorites I do like to have this in my collection for days when I want a soft pretty nude shade, as this is perfect. 

Cream puff fairy cake 3, collection 2000 £2.99-
Now I have been after the nyx version of these lip creams for ages, but they are really hard to get here in the uk, so when I seen this collection 2000 alternative I had to try it out! These smell delicious like vanilla cake and leave a really nice matt finish that isn't too drying on the lip and at such a cheap price I highly recommend trying them out. 

Heart of gold nail polish, Topshop £6-
This is just a gorgeous gold sparkly nail colour that is great if your are wearing a plain outfit and want to add something extra but subtle, fantastic quality for money.















Like I mentioned in my last post I did order some things from river island online, I ordered their 'lana' high waisted jeans and sadly had to return them. They were a dreadful cut and really unflattering on my figure as the are cut totally straight up and down and I happen to a have a bum, the denim also looked extremely cheap and poorly made so I would not recommend them. I also ordered a little pair of ankle socks with a scottie dog print on them, they are in the wash so I couldn't photograph them for you.

Can any of you guys suggest a good place to get a flattering pair of high waisted jeans?
I promise to keep you updated on my wanderings this time!
