Primark Haul!

Helloo! :)

Recently I have been loving Primark, I feel every time I go in they have so much stuff I just fall in love with, and with the amount of times I have popped in for a sneak peak I come out with one (or shamefully two) huge bags! xD

The excuse I use is when you see something in there you need to get it because by the time you go back it will be gone!

The clothes shown below are a tiny amount of what I have bought in the last few months, but these are my favourites out of the bunch.

Electric Blue Jeggings

These jeggings are honestly the most comfiest pants I own. They are so stretchy but still look like a thick pair of jeans. Plus for £7 yes that's right £7 you could buy all the range for the same price as a pair of jeans from Topshop. I always have been put off jeggings because I think they are cheap looking and short lasting however even though they are labelled jeggins I would class them more as a soft jean.

Magenta Pencil Skirt 

This pencil skirt only cost me £5! I have never owned one before so I didn't want to buy a really expensive one just incase I couldn't pull it off. So this was a perfect price for me to pay because if I really didn't like it I wouldn't be gutted at wasting my monies.

Navy Blue Blouse

I adore the cut out on this blouse, I think it is so flattering especially with the bow at the top. It was only £8 which is a bargin. I find the way it hangs on the body is perfect to it floats past your belly so with a pair of skinny jeans it is very slimming. The only thing I would say is the sizes are bigger than usual so maybe buy a size smaller unless you want the blouse really flowy.

A Pastel Floral Blouse

As you can see I love a blouse I think they are so feminine, especially with the pastel florals. I first saw this on a Youtube Video with EssieButton, and I was instantly like I need that in my wardrobe. So I got it! Haha :D

A Burnt Orange Bag

I was in Manchester yesterday when I spotted this, my friend was pursuading me to get it because I was being indecisive as to whether I needed it but you cannot have too many bags can you xD As you can see it is very spacious so it will be ideal for University, because it's stylish and versatile.

Coral Maxi Skirt 

I bought this £10 maxi skirt once again for a trial to see whether I liked it and to see if I suited it. I love it for a summer outfit with a vest top and a waste belt :D

A Printed Dress

I love this dress! It is so flattering and the way it nips you in at the waist and i think it is the perfect length, just above the knee not too high and not too low. They still have it in stock and in a few prints for £8 so get your hands on it.

Cotton Emerald Green Dress

These dresses are everywhere and I am sure everyone has got one since they sold them in every shade under the sun and for £5 it is great for a throw on over a bikini.

Floral Red Dress

I first saw this dress being worn by Kate Middleton's Hairdresser the day Kate was being released from Hospital after the birth of her baby boy. It looked quite expensive until I realised where it was from! ASOS featured it on their website too. For £13 I think it is a must have! 

I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the clothes I have recently purchased. I think Primark has really improved on their clothing range, yes the price has increased a little bit but you can really see how much higher the quality of clothing is, in my opinion I would rather pay that little bit extra knowing that it will last longer. 

Thankyou for sparing your time to read my post I really appreciate it :)

Beauty Favourites!

Helloo! :)

As we are in the summer month of August I thought I would share my beauty favourites with you, since I do find it interesting reading/watching other bloggers and finding out what products they have been obsessed with!

Before I get into revealing my top 10 products, which is going to be quite long I suggest you get a cuppa tea and a biscuit so you can sit back, relax and enjoy :D

My Top 10 Products!

My first products are the Revlon Photoready cream blushes! Since I bought the stippling brush by E.L.F as I heard that these types of brushes are amazing at applying cream blushes (a little tongue twister there for you xD) I really wanted to test it out for myself! So I went to my nearest Boots store and looked around for a selection; I noticed that cream blushes weren't that popular with makeup brands and if they happen to sell them, they were a lot smaller than expected for the price I had to pay. Until I discovered these little beauties!

Now I know they seem very bright and scary, trust me when I first saw them it took me by surprise. However they are a lovely colour when applied to the cheeks and they are great for building up colour too. They have 3 colours to choose from, obviously the two I have and then a nude colour aswell, I just didn't buy the nude one because it didn't stand out to me. At the time Boots had an offer on everything 3 for 2 so I picked these up and a third item and it worked out at a really good price. They are very long lasting, easy to apply and you get a lot of product so they will last a really long time, as a little bit goes a long way.

Next... Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail polish. I have heard so many beauty bloggers rave on about these so I won't waffle on too much! All I will say is they are really amazing! One coat is all you need as they are very thick and opaque. I have the colours Pomegranate and Blue Grape, the third nail polish isn't a Gelly Hi Shine but it's a lovely colour so I thought I'd include it anyway as it deserved a mention and that colour is Teal. They are worth the hype and definitely go and purchase them if you haven't already. Boots usually have them on offer all the time :)

Blue Grape is my favourite :D

Rimmel Apocalips! They are another hyped up product so I will only mention these briefly too! My favourite shades are: Apocaliptic, Big Bang,Stellar and Celestial. They are very highly pigmented as you can see from the picture below and that was with one coat! They are very affordable, long lasting and glossy. Some people have said they are moisturising  however I didn't find that was the case, I need to apply a lip balm underneath before I apply it because I find them drying after a few hours. Apart from that minor issue these are amazing!

Not long now I promise xD

We now move onto the Real Technique makeup brushes. I don't know about you but I just can't seem to splash out £27 on ONE Mac foundation brush, I can imagine they are amazing and professional as they are from Mac, but I just can't seem to part with my money for one item at that price, especially when you can get high quality, long lasting brushes else where. That's when I discovered these beauts in Boots. They are made by makeup artist called Samantha Chapman, who has a beauty channel on Youtube called Pixiewoo, go and check her out she is superb! Anyway for £21 you can get 4 makeup brushes that allow you to apply makeup all over the face from lips to cheeks to face, they are definitely multitasking brushes so can be used however you want. They have Taklon bristles so they are very soft and easy to clean, and since they are synthetic so cruelty free (which is always a plus in my books) if you ever need  a new makeup brush go and buy just one if you need to and see if you love them as much as me.

I am going to quickly comment on this felt tip MUA eyeliner. For £2 it is really long lasting, even on the hottest days in the UK, which I know aren't frequent but this product lasted through those sweltering days in July! Pretty impressive I know :) It's a great cheap product and if you read my MUA review here you will already know I am a huge fan! It ticks all my boxes and is definitely worth purchasing.

Finally we are one paragraph till the end yayy!!!!

Last and by no means least, we have the Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoos. I have the shades Permanent Taupe and On and On Bronze. These are the best cream eyeshadows I have ever used, they are so easy to apply, even with my fingers, they blend like no other and they also are great as a base for powder. I find applying powdered eyeshadow over the top or in the crease really does make the eyeshadow last a very long time. I don't know about the 24hr statement that they stand by because I have never worn the makeup that long xD unless I slept in it haha. I think they are an amazing product at such a cheap price.

Yayyy!!! If you managed to get to the end :D I anticipated it was going to be quite lengthy but blumming eck I do waffle on haha. I just  wanted to give a full and honest opinion and if that means writing a post as long as a book then I hope it was worth it xD

I'd just like to add I didn't write my opinion on everything, just in case you thought I accidentally missed the eyeshadow pallette, mascara and foundation, its only because you really would be here forever!

Thanks for reading, if you have any anything to ask on any of the products shown or you disagree with my opinions comment below I would really appreciate it :)

OR if you have any makeup looks with these products feel free to show me on my new twitter :D @AFloralDelight  I would love to see how you use these products!

MUA Power Pout Review!

Hellooo! :)

I am a huge fan of MUA products ever since I purchased their heaven and earth eye shadow palette, which I think is amazing for £4 the colour pay off is exceptional! I think it's a must have especially if your a newbie to eye shadow and you just want to experiment without paying an arm and leg.

 Anyway back to the product I'm supposed to be reviewing haha. I was in Superdrug the other week when I spotted these new lip products, obviously I was instantly drawn to see whether they were any good and I was really impressed. I heard about these types of products from other brands like the Chubby Sticks by Clinique or the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain but as I didn't want to pay a whopping £17 per stick I thought I'd try the cheaper version.

These are the 4 shades I chosen from the range to buy: Crazy In Love

                                          (From the top)              Broken Hearted

                                                                      Rendezvous
                                                                   Runaway

They have 6 colours to chose from, and they vary from nude to a coral to a berry shade which for me is ideal as I think these shade are great for any skin colour. As for the texture and colour pay off I feel they are good quality and not tacky/sticky. They have a minty taste, which is always a bonus, and they are very moisturising. They also have a glossy appearance and stay put for a few hours.

These are the colour shades: Runaway
             (From the top)          Rendezvous
                                                Broken Hearted
                                             Crazy In Love
                         

As for packaging, it is quite disappointing to be honest, the tube which the product is in is completely fine. However, the lid always slips off in my make up bag which damages the lip balm. Also in some of my sticks the lip balm is quite loose, as if it has melted a little and wobbles around which is quite annoying.

Apart from that I love these products, and for £3 you really can't grumble! They are still available in Superdrug on the MUA counter so grabs your hands on some and try them out yourself!
