monday snapshot

001 Everyone's blogs seemed to have to a sunday review or whatever, so I thought I would write one; but yesterday I forgot. So ive decided to write one on a monday instead, as mondays are generally reflective been in studio all day.
002 This weekends been all about house hunting for next year, and weve had our ups and downs, with today been a major downer. Weve found the perfect house, but we're not sorted so may loose the house to another group. I'll update next week wether or not we have signed the dotted line.
003 Off home this weekend, so the weeks already looking up even after all the work that's been piled on in studio. With Julia's 50th on friday and Giorginas birthday celebrations on saturday this weekends going to be messy.

Haul

top: cow vintage (£6)
makeup: maybelline dream matte power [03 golden beige], maybelline express finish 40 [base brilliante 01], rimmel scandaleyes [001 black] 17 powder brush

lush bubble bar [dorothy (£2.99) ]
love hearts and crosses lucky dip (£10 for five items)
cross ring: love hearts and crosses (£8)

Just a few things Ive picked up in the last week or so. I absolutely love the crop top, at £6 I thought it was a good price, I'll feature it in a OOTD very soon! I only went in cow to use the changing rooms, because I needed to put a plaster on my foot. What a suprise I actually bought one of the things I was "trying on". As for the lucky dip, I was on lhc website buying the ring (which I absolutly love btw) and I saw they were selling a lucky dip (which is where you get 5 items for £2 each but you dont know what you're going to get, so it could be really good or really bad) I've bought one before and got some really good items so I couldnt resist. I dont think I got the best items in my dip, but I really like the earrings and the locket necklace; the apple necklace and the ring are probably the two that im not going to wear, so overall im happy with it .

Beauty Haul

Tresemme Curl Defining Mousse: I love Tresemme mousse its the only bottle that doesn't break before Ive used all the Mousse up, never tried this type before so we'll see if it "defines" my curls

VO5 plump it up blow dry lotion: Heard some good things about this, and its supposed to de frizz your hair so I thought I'd try it out.

VO5 Miracle Concentrate: This was mentioned on a lot of 2011 favourite blogs so again I bought it to defrizz my hair, which is a mess after redying it again.

17 BB Blemish Balm, in Light : Again the garnier bb cream has been hyped by the media, so I wanted to see if it lived up to its reviews and I picked up the 17 bb cream as it was cheaper; and there was only 2 of my shade left so its popular.

Reviews to come

products of the moment

Soap and Glory, The Righteous Butter : I know every blog goes on about it, but I'm going to mention it anyway because I love it. It smells so nice and whenever I use it I can smell it in my room for ages afterwards. It sinks in really quick and my skin feels amazing afterwards. Its abit pricey at £10 but that's for a big tub which lasts for ages so I think its worth it.
The other product is something I got as a present for Christmas, and again that smells amazing. Its called hearts and homespun, and all the products are homemade. The soap looks really good too, I cant wait to try that. The products are really cheap with everything been around £6. You can buy the products online at www.heartsandhomespun.com

OTTD

just bought the jumper from topshop yesterday, and I couldnt wait to wear it. I got the necklace then too, also from topshop and I thought they went really well together. My dress is also topshop (im having a topshop day today :L ) but I got that last year, I think the collar goes really nice with the jumper and I wear it under alot of my baggy jumpers.

Hi,
Im loving this top from alice takes a trip, but am in too minds about buying it. is £32 too expensive for a tshirt? Ill probably buy it anyway as a treat to myself for finishing my project. Went on a splurge today, but was too exhausted from all the work ive been doing to shop aha. Will put photos up tomorrow.
