Mini Beauty Haul

It's the middle of exams at the moment so I'm rather stressed at the moment, and in my world the answer to stress is shopping, and lots of it. My beauty haul wasn't so bad, but just wait until my clothes haul...that was a little crippling for my bank account...

I had a mini version of this Ted Baker body spray from a gift set and had been using it constantly, even thought the big version was £5 I decided I loved it too much not to buy it. I spray it in my wardrobe, over my clothes and on myself when I want something lighter than perfume. It's light fruity and floral and smells really comforting, so I of course need it for exams!

This Percy & Reed Finishing Polish came free with a magazine a while ago (may have been Glamour, I'm not sure). I haven't used it yet, but after falling head over heels in love with their deep conditioner I'm sure I'll love this too.

At the checkout at Primark I found this Hask Argan Oil mini for £1 so I bought it on a whim. It's not too shabby despite the price, and the tiny bottle makes it great to pop into my bag for nights out.

Another freebie was this gorgeous Ciaté nail polish in Pocket Money. I love Ciaté polishes, and this colour is a beautiful addition to my collection, especially with the cute packaging. More things should have bows on...seriously.

I've been really feeling the need to buy an orange lipstick for summer, I chose this Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick in Electric Orange. It's a lovely colour and quite sheer, so I can wear it quite lightly until I feel brave enough with the colour to layer on more.

Finally I decided I needed another Rimmel Apocalips in my life, this time in the beautiful shade Luna. I've been wearing this colour everyday to the library to cheer myself up, it's just so gorgeous and the formulation makes me happy every time I wear it.

Okeysmokeys, I need to get a wiggle on with today's revision, or it'll never get done!

Good luck for everyone currently struggling through exams!

Ciaté Nail Polish and 100 Followers!

Hello ^ - ^ I reached 100 followers today and I'm so excited about it! Thank you to everyone who has followed me, it really makes me happy that you all like my blog *blushes* I have decided to do a little giveaway to celebrate...HOWEVER, who wants boring products from England? Seeing as I'm off to Korea in less than a month I thought I'd buy a few goodies there and give you guys the chance to win them :)

Anyway, this post is really about one of my favourite nail polishes, this is Ciaté's Dangerous Affair (013). It's a gorgeous vampy dark red, oh how I love it! I got this last year (I think) in Elle or Glamour or some similar magazine :P. It's my only Ciaté polish, but I NEED more in my life! It's gorgeous and shiny (I haven't been bothered to put a top coat on, so I'm pretty impressed with how it looks on its own). I have had to put on two coats, for some reason the first always looks streaky, but the second one is always perfect? Strange magic :P 

Also the packaging is super duper cute! I have to have cute looking nail polishes, I have a shameful corner of my chest of drawers where all my horribly packaged nail polishes go :P (Including a very dodgy sick colour green I got for Halloween a few years back). The packaging has changed since I got mine, but not by much, the shape and bow are still there, but the label has Ciaté lower down and larger, which I think is a good thing as you can barely see the name on mine because of the bow.

These polishes are £9 each, but I think for a rainy day and a bit of a nail investment they're perfect. I do have a Ciaté wish list (for when I have money...which may be never :P), the colours I'm loving are: Knickerbockerglory (So pink!), Vintage (gorgeous grey), Cutie Pie (light perfect pink), Sugar Plum (pastel purple) and Couture Cream (nude pinky brown). Although really I want them all! :P

Today has been another beautiful mountain day, so I thought I'd share a (not exactly brilliant) snap I took earlier, it's hard to tell in the photo but the clouds went a gorgeous pinky colour! Apparently it was brighter over the sea, but alas I cannot see the sea from my uni halls :P
