Sunday shopping...Primark etc *video*

Dear You Tube, why do you always pick the thumbnail 
that makes me look like a deranged Chipmunk?

Just a quick (ish) video of what I picked up from town yesterday. I love to shop on a Sunday,it's so much more chilled out and quiet than any other day.
Because the sales are on at the moment (and I can't be bothered to sift through the mess) I didn't end up buying very much, but I do quite like filming these videos,and it was either that or watch Man.utd "/ 
I hope you enjoy,and please subscribe x

Love you, Love you not #2


This leopard print,fabric strap watch, something that could most definitely be described as a 'marmite' item. I must admit to being unsure of my feelings towards it when I bought it  last week, but having been out for dinner 5 times this week (I know, oink!) and wearing it on each occasion, I think I love it.The fabric strap which I think initially sparked my interest makes it something that bit different from your standard watch and it holds the scent of your perfume which I like...small minds!
The best bit is that it's a Primark special and cost £4, so if I hate it this time next week (or more likely,it stops working) It can go in the bin.simples.

Rambles and Red.

I'm having one of those days that don't happen too often, but when they do I appreciate every last second of it. The rain is bouncing down outside,I am home alone with my two dogs who have spent most of the afternoon asleep, the living room coffee table is full of my junk Nail polishes, notebook, Diet coke, I have a whole boxset of Gossip girl to get through, oh and it's 3pm and I'm still in my PJ's (well my boyfriends PJ bottoms and a vest) which kinda makes me feel gross, but I'm cozy so whatever :)
Barry M 'Bright Red' no shiz!

I can't get the idea of doing a DIY ombre job on my hair, it looks so simple, I have been advised against it but have a bee in my bonnet now and I know myself well enough to know that it's only a matter of time until I reach for the bleach...

The father in law dropped me his old DSLR camera to play with, I was excited until he told me he had left the memory card at home *boo him!*<3

I re-discovered my Sleek primer palette at the weekend and have used it every day this week, I don't think this palette gets enough attention. It doesn't give long lasting crease less perfection but for quick and easy glossy, grungy sultry looks it's a total winner.

This week my Son has been off on his jollies with my parents in Cornwall, and me and the Boy have taken the opportunity to behave like we did when we were young, free and single...(well maybe not exactly) maybe we are really boring but we haven't exactly been out painting the town Red more a light milky pink...ho hum!Our week has basically revolved around food, drink and films (and Peanut M&M's)...we have been really into thriller/action movies just lately, I definitely recommend seeing Limitless, Taken, Inception, Shutter Island and The tourist, all amazing, edge of the seat films, you will love (if you like that sort of thing)!

I had better attempt to drag the PJ's off and get ready,We are finally going to see Harry Potter tonight after 3 failed attempts at getting to the cinema for 7:30pm...
Living the dream!<3

Blush crush #2.

Sleek Rose Gold...What a job I had getting my hands on this! Every Sleek stand I visited for 3 months greeted me with the same empty rack of this blush colour. Eventually I managed to get my hands on one in Blackpool on a weekend away last month, hooray for the Vegas of the north, and it's fully stocked Sleek shelves!!
I think a lot of you will know the reason for the elusiveness of Rose Gold is because of its comparability to the infamous NARS 'Orgasm' blush and for a fifth of the price.

Rose Gold is peachy/pink with Gold shimmer which transfers onto skin as a sheen rather than chunky glitter, which looks amazing with a tan but also works well on lighter skintones.Highly pigmented and finely milled, a light hand is required when applying this as a little goes a long way!
I can't see myself purchasing NARS 'Orgasm' while ever Sleek continue to produce this blush <3

Which blush are you crushing on?

We're all a little mad here!

Even at the grand old age of 27 I still have a penchant for all things Alice in Wonderland. From the background history into why and how it was written, with Lewis Carroll apparently off his head on drugs throughout, up to the present day movie remake (Johnny Depp as the Hatter.Perfect.) the quirkyness of it all is something that really draws me in.
Anyway my Mum being as brilliant and thoughtful as she is picked me up some Jewellery from the range at The House of Fraser, and I am so in love with it that I thought I would share...
Top to bottom
Moulded key bracelet
'Drink me' bottle necklace
Hatter top hat earrings 

Obviously I wont be overkilling the theme and throwing them all on together but individually I heart each piece, the key bracelet being my favourite although I lost the little 'made with care in Wonderland charm' that was hanging from it I'm sure it's somewhere in my overgrown jungle of a back garden *sad face*

Anyhooo I hope you are all having a good weekend, me and the boyfriend are off to see the last Harry Potter tonight, for once I'm chuffed that my memory is like a sieve and I've forgotten the ending from the book.
