let's all go to asda...






OH MY, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BLOGGGG!!!

I hope you are all well!

If you didn't twig from the title of this post, it's about asda.
The other evening i went to a big Asda's that's about half an hour from me, i had a good snoop around and found some bits that i wanted to show you!
Most people wouldn't dream of buying fashionable things in Asda, (i never used too, oh how wrong i was!), but if you have the time to shop in one of the big ones that has almost EVERYTHING in it from food to clothes to makeup to electronics etc.

I've recently been decorating my room on a cheap budget, it was previously black and pink themed and i started to go off that and really liked the idea of shabby chic with floral prints, so i painted my wardrobes and made some curtains (yes, made! from a bed cover) and have been getting some accessories. If you want a blog post on some of the diy and cheap decorations for my new room i have, let me know! So i went straight to the bedroom section which had several varieties, styles and coloured bed covers for such a cheap price, i was in heaven!

sorry for the creases, i literally just swapped it and got it out of its packet!
I picked up this cover and pillowcase set for £13 (king size), its white and has beautiful, almost watercolour flowers on the bottom growing upwards. The pillows are the same but the flowers take up the whole side. Its also reversible and is an orange/coral pinstripe pattern on the other side, although I'm pretty sure that would clash way too much.

 
I also went to the jewellery section which had a few stands of half price or sale items which i eyed up instantly. I only found 2 things as the others were either broken or i had something similar. The first being these chained collar clips.
 
They are silver gems surrounded by a pearl frame attached by two chains of different lengths. They were half price from £4 (making them £2) which is a really great price and they look so pretty but make a great statement with collared blouses.

 
 And then i found these earrings which are similar to the ones i saw in Topshop a few months ago which are just these Pegasus unicorn that are supposed to look like tapers (but the cheat version if you don't want big holes in  your ears!)

They kinda remind me of the monopoly board pieces (or scene it board pieces if you know that game!) and I've just pushed them through my ear lobes haha!

And then last but definitely not least my mum found these Yankee candles (I've  never seen super markets sell them so this was definitely a must have!), they had all the sizes and about 6 or 7 different scents but this was my favourite by far and it smells amazing and its called Rainwashed Berry. I haven't tried the sampler size so i hope they are just as strong as the big jar ones but for £1 it's gotta be worth a try.. right?!


 
And there's a picture of the little heart cut out candle holder that I've put it into! cute or what?!

Have you found any interesting bits in supermarkets you've visited?

I went shopping! | Primark Haul


Everyone knows that almost every shop has a mega sale for the first few weeks after Christmas to sell off their old stock ready for the new season stock.. And this month i got paid for my new job at Tesco's.. I got a lot more than i was expecting too get and so i thought it was almost my duty to go out and see what bargains i could grab!

This post is just showing you most of the things i have bought this month mainly from primark (their sales are THE best, its a cheap shop with even cheaper sales !)



  
This pleated knee length skirt it comes with a thin cheetah/leopard print belt came in at £3 (although it was actually marked at 2:( ), i got it in a size 10 but it has an elasticated waist



Cotton pads for £1 and are really good for removing eye makeup and nail varnish

Relaxing face masks are only 90p

The hand gel smells so nice and lemony and is an easy 'throw in your bag' item

I actually love this hairbrush; it does the job, was only £2.50 and its pink!

The make up isn't known to be the best quality but when you just want to try things out and experiment, its good for the price before spending a bomb on the real deal.

The orange/dark coral lipstick is probably my favourite lipstick at the minute and that's saying something, its creamy and goes on really well and the colour stains your lips for a good few hours!



This blue satchel bag was only a fiver and it reminds me of the vintagey ones that everyones loving right now, i use it for school and its so spacey

Silver cross earrings -£1
5 pack of pretty socks for £3 or £3.50, they do the best socks in primark! 
12 pack of earrings for £2.50?! silver and gold studs, turquoise eyes, gold and silver stars, silver hands, triangle crystal/stone, silver crosses, gold and silver peace signs, Buddha type and wings!

WHO REMEMBERS THESE?! Glow in the dark ceiling stars for £1 in primark, my childhood is being relived as they are up already!!

That's the majority of my Primark haul, give or take a blouse and some pj's etc! What have you bought from Primark recently?

GOLD! Always believe in your soul..

Yesterday i took another little trip into town (seems to be becoming a very regular occurrence lately!) and the idea was to get a few more christmas bits, I'm doing chrimbo shopping in sections and picking up little bits here and there this year, and i actually managed to pick my mum up some of the things she wanted but once again i ended up buying myself a few nick nacks and i decided to show you something that I'm really happy with..

It's very similar to my technic 'mermaid' and 'carnival' nail varnish but its from poundland!? There were blue, green and purple versions of this polish but the gold stood out for me and I'm so glad i bought it, i must admit i spent about 20 minutes in poundland uming and ahing, debating whether to buy it and as soon as i got home i painted it on top of my primark bright pink polish and its so lush. It doesn't have different types of gold in it but its got small and big rounded glitter flecks in it and its a really good rep for some high priced brand versions of glitter polishes! £1 BARGAIN!!

Another thing i picked up from poundland was this little wheel of butterfly and dragonfly nail decorations of all different colours, they are so pretty and i cant wait to use them..

They even come with a mini nail file and wooden stick for easier application! I say get yourself to poundland and see what you can find, i even noticed they sell Revlon polishes in there too!
