TIGER HAUL.




Finally a Tiger Store has opened up near to where I live! *yay*
I always used to see videos on YouTube of people going to Tiger and getting all these cool and quirky things and I knew that one day I really needed to go there. Now I've gone I thought I would share what I bought. I've got to be honest... I wanted to but the whole store but that wasn't something my purse was going to be happy with as I still haven't found some seeds for a money tree (I'm working on it). 


This cute little box was my favourite purchase. It's a bamboo box that's just too cool for school... Not that a bamboo box would need to go to school. This little cutie is quite delicate and it's not something I will be throwing all around the place... It shall be handled with care. This gem was £1... I did not think it would be so cheap. I think this would be nice to store cotton pads/balls or my most used jewellery or something like that. It will definitely have a place on my side locker or dressing table.


This little bow caught my eye. They had some really nice hair accessories and jewellery if I'm going to be honest... I've see on there website they even do make up! Anyway... Back to the bow. It's really well made. A nice material and the size is perfect. It's really quite nice! The bow was £3 which is pretty average for a hair bow... but it's really good quality for the price. 


This next purchase is a bit boring but hey ho... I don't care. I bought these for me and my Mom as we both wear glasses. I always have finger prints on mine because I put them on and off in an awkward way. I thought these would be great to just throw a few in my bag or pencil case for when my glasses get a bit dirty. These were £2 which is pretty good as you can clean your glasses 30 times.


These next few bit and bobs are all quite random but here we go.
 The peanut/sesame bar is for me and my Dad because we love them and I thought a mixed version seemed quite cool. It was £1 which is alright. 

I got some wrapping paper as I lot of birthdays coming up. I really like the prints they had available... they were unusual but really nice looking! This roll contained 4metres and was priced at £1 which is pretty good if I do say so myself! 

The next purchase is a lovely clam shaped mint green mirror which is really cool, they had them in a variety of colours. It has a magnifying mirror on one side a normal mirror on the other side. It was £1 which again is a nice bargain. 

 I got a lolly pop because it looked cool... Don't judge... It was 25p. 


I thought I'd get some cute tape for my wrapping paper. Yes, they probably clash but the tape has sheep on it and every so often theres a black sheep which is cool. The tape was 50p... Now that is a good price.

 I've come to the conclusion that this shop is a cool and quirky shop... The cheapness of a pound shop but better quality and more prestige. 

 There's some cute things in there that would be great for presents, organisation,  decoration, lots of things... It's a very random shop but I will be defiantly going there again! Here is the website right here. I believe that you cannot purchase from the site, but you can browse the things that may be in shops and you can check out if there is a shop near you! 

 Have you guys ever been to Tiger? 
If so what did you buy!?

 Type to you soon,

Current Wish List.

I've been meaning to write a wish list for a while!
Here we go, it's finally here!
 
 
The Wish List...
 
 
I love these polishes so much! I was having a wonder around the MAC counter and I saw these polishes! Now I have to be honest I don't really go over and have a look at the nail polishes but these two really stud out to me! They look so nice and I've been looking at swatches online and WOW... So prettyyyy!
 
 
I love Matte Lip products because they are really versatile... you can make the colour glossy if you would like. They are available in very bright colours but I'm sure that you can use the colours lightly but I will have to see! Others say that these are like the Lime Crime Velvetines but I can't say much about that as I haven't used them before.
 
 
I love Lip Crayons, they are just so easy to use and effortless, great if your in a rush! I'd really like these for Sixth Form as they are easy to use and top up if you need to!
 
 
I already actually have this scrub but it's close to running out. This scrub makes my skin feel so fresh! Even though I have sensitive skin the products still works for me. I love it! I sometimes mix it with a cleanser so gives my skin a clean and moisturise while I'm getting all that dead skin off my face.
 
I hope you enjoyed reading this post!
 
I would love to hear about what you are loving at the moment and what you want to purchase.

My Beauty Favourites of 2013!

Hello there m'lovelies!
I hope you've had a fantastic Christmas!
I'm really sorry I haven't blogged for around a few billion years.
School sucked my life away and replace it with work and revision and assessments and exams and oh my am I so glad I'm back!
Today I wanted to sum up my beauty favourites of 2013!
I can't believe this year is nearly already over. What's happened? Maybe it's going quickly because I'm getting older? I have no idea! But I hope you all have a fantastic new year!
Now... Enough rambling and into what I had in min for this post... My beauty favourites of 2013.


Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Blonde and Mac Matte Powder Blush in Melba...


These two MAC products weren't in the big main picture because quite honestly I couldn't fit them in but I have enjoyed them so much this year I thought I would give them a special picture on their own.
Firstly, the MAC MSF in Blonde is a limited edition product but you may be able to get it in a relaunch as MAC do that a lot. This product has been used so much this year! It gives a lovely radiant glow to the cheeks. I use the lightest colour as a highlight, it gives a lovely natural glow because it's not white, it's a pale pink.  You can use the highlight very lightly with a big fluffy brush or define it more with a smaller denser brush, I use Real Techniques Contour Brush. I use all the colours mixed together or the individual last ones as a blush, but not on the apple of the cheeks because it looks waaaaay to shiny for my liking!
The MAC Matte Powder Blush in Melba is my all time favourite blush! It's so soft and blendable and if you use it with the right brush you can get a light flush of colour or build up the colour to your desired intensity. It gives a lovely natural but of colour to the cheeks and because it is a peachy colour it gives your skin that bronzed kind of colour.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo on 05- Eternal Gold...


I absolutely love the Maybelline Colour Tattoos. Simple. I just cant get enough of them. You can use them as a base or on its own. You can use it with a brush or fingers. They are just so versatile and easy to use. They can be used for so many things. I use this gold colour all the time, I sometimes like to use it with my Naked Palette. I have a few other colours of the Colour Tattoos, I use them all the time.

MUA 3 in 1 eXtreme Contour Liner...


This is my favourite high street eyeliner. It is so black, if you get me. It can be smudged into your outer v to create a smokey look, it can be used on your water/tight line and you can also use it to create a winged look. All of this can be done because of the shape of the liner, as you can see above. The shape allows you to create a thin or thick line.


Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 720- Notting Hill Nude and Burt's Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter...

Firstly, the Rimmel Lipstick is probably my most used when I bought it. It is a nice nude colour that doesn't wash your face colour out. I wear this colour to school as it is a nice and natural colour. I love the finish, it has a nice satin finish with a soft texture. It's really nice. I also love the packaging! Such a nice colour! 
The Burt's Bees little lip balm you see on the right is just delightful. It is so nourishing and gives my lips a lovely natural, healthy shine. It also has mango butter in it so it smells and tastes great! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with dry lips that needs an intense moisture boost. It's also great to but on to keep your lips looking great and healthy.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 010 Light Porcelain...

This foundation is probably the best foundation I have found so far. I have tried high street and high end brands. The foundation has a fantastic colour range which means I found a foundation light enough! It has a great, light weight consistency. It has a kind of dewy finish I suppose you could say and it just gives the skin a lovely glow. I would say the coverage is quite buildable. I like to apply it with a buffing brush or stippling brush depending on the coverage I want. I do have to powder this foundation on my t-zone as it is quite oily. The foundation has and SPF of 18 which is great! Although I do use an SPF moisturiser because I have a skin condition that is sensitive to light. This foundation is great and I have nearly finished it... This will probably be the only palette that I repurchase.

This nail polish is one of the few polishes I have that go on so nicely and dries really quickly! The polish lasts forever! The colour is a really nice neutral colour that I wear when I don't know what colour nail polish colour to wear. The brush is fantastic it's angled so you can touch up the polish if it's chipped. I really like this nail polish and I own it in different colours and I just love the formula.

Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream...


This night cream has really helped my skin improve it's appearance. It's a lot brighter and more radiant. As my skin is really dry and can be eczema prone I really need something very moisturising, this totally does it for me! It's so good. It really has started to help the dryness of my skin. I have actually repurchased this product because I like it so much!



I use this palette for everything. I used it for prom, which was ages ago, and special events and everyday looks and just everything. I just, wow, it's my favourite neutral palette of all times. My favourite colour is probably Smog, I don't know why but I love it. The shadows are so soft and so pigmented and they can just make so many different looks. It was totally worth the money. This palette is probably my favourite out of all the Naked Palettes and it suits me the most.
So finally! There it is! My beauty favourites of this year!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
Leave a comment and tell me what beauty products you have enjoyed this year and what blog posts you would like to see!
Thank you for reading and I hope you're having a good day!

Tag¦ Confessions of a Beauty Blogger

Hi m'lovelies!

A few day ago I had a tweet from Sinead- Dreaming Again saying that I was tagged in a recent post. So here I am now answering the questions.
I love doing tag posts so I'll just get right into it!


The questions!

1. How many hours a week do you spend writing / editing posts?

This all depends on how much work I have to do as I'm a full time student in sixth form. I wish it was different because I love blogging! But anytime I'm free I try to at least get some photos of stuff to talk about!


2. Are you a spender or saver?

It depends... Like right now I'm saving because I'm going to the NEC Clothes Show *yay* I only buy if I need it... although I wouldn't have been able to say that a few months ago... I have learnt my lesson xD

3. When is it easier for you to blog? 

Weekend mornings! Or sometimes if I haven't got a lot to do I will blog at school in my study periods... *bad girl*


4. What makes writing behind a computer comfortable for you?

I'm not sure whether I will be answering this question properly but here we go. If we're talking actually when I'm blogging and being comfortable... that would be sitting on my bed while listening to some music or watching YouTube videos. If I'm going to be honest right now I'm watching funny cat videos... *haha*

5. What is your worst make up / hair habit? 

My worst makeup habit would have to be... Well I stay back at school late some nights and sometimes use wipes to take my make up off but!!! I always cleanse properly in the morning!
My worst hair habit would be... When I can't control it I just shove it up in a bun... My hair is just too much to handle!

6. What is one quote you wish the world lived by? 

There's a few to be honest...
Let go of the bad memories and remember the good ones.
Love your neighbour as yourself.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
There's loads but the most important thing to me is not to let others get you down, if you have a friend that is contently upsetting you or making you angry forget them. Don't let people treat you wrongly, everyone is unique and we should celebrate that.

7. How long do you spend getting ready every day?

Ooooo. Hard question it depends where I'm going, am I in the mood and whether or not I know what I'm wearing and things. Probably 30 mins to an hour unless I have completely failed! It also depends what my hair is doing with itself.

8. Who's your favourite blogger?

There's too many to choose from! I haven't got a one absolute favourite, I have a few! I like blogs that are jam packed with pictures that are well taken.  

9. Who is a blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?

Ummm... there's loads! All the bloggers I follow whether they have a lot of followers or not deserve more! If you look at this post you can see a few listed there!

10. What is one thing you are excited about in the upcoming year?

Being able to do well in my subjects at sixth form. Another one is probably going to The Clothes Show next month!

11. What is you most awkward blogging moment?

Probably my first blog post... but that's gone now xD

12. How long does it take you to prepare a post?
Depends, tags are the quickest for me 30-45 mins, my small post like wish lists they don't take long either. But the ones I take load of photos and things! Ages!

13. Are you wearing trousers right now or jogging pants / PJ bottoms?

I am! Comfort is what I'm going for today... It's Sunday! Leggings it is!

14. What are you most proud of in life?

Probably some recent things. They are more personal but I'm glad I'm back at sixth form and it may sound silly but getting praise from my teachers. Shout out to my subject teachers, especially my Maths and Chemistry teacher... Jokes. They won't read this but they actually care about their students.

So there we go! I hope you enjoyed that blog post!
I will now tag 4 other bloggers to do this
