Saving Ideas and Motivation

I think it's fair to say that everyone loves to treat themselves once in a while but it's often hard to have the money to pay for it all. This post is going to ensure that you won't waste your money on stuff that you'll regret.

First of all, do some research; find some products that you are willing to buy and preferably have some good reviews too! Once you've found some worthy products that you love the look of, you should take some notes- and of course write down the dreaded price.

Secondly, find a large jam jar and thoroughly clean in a dishwasher or in boiling, soapy water. Leave to dry and it's ready to be decorated.

On my jar I decided to put pictures of my products on the outside that I had printed out. I also put a list of the products with the grand total at the bottom to keep me reminded.


Finally, I covered my lid with some patterned tape from Paperchase. It's up to you how you style your jar.


So now for the hardest part, saving up. Start little and it will build up before you know it and make sure you don't fritter your money away on products you simply want but not need. And most importantly, don't give in and take money out of your jar! This will lead you nowhere and in the long run, saving will take much longer.

I hope you've found this helpful and stay motivated throughout your saving!

Happy blogging :*

Beauty Haul

Over the bank holiday weekend I went on a bit of a haul to top up my beauty collection- yay :)

As usual, I went to Superdrug first, here's what I bought...

I thought this Cosmopolitan travel brush set would be perfect to live in my bag for me to sort out my make-up throughout the day. It's also going to be great for going on holiday etc; containing a blusher brush, eyeshadow brush, lip brush and eyebrow brush. Being just £8, I was very pleased with this buy!

Finally I've got my hands on a Bourjois little pot of blush :) I got the shade 37 Rose Pompon which I think is great for everyday use. Of course these are just first impressions, and I'm sure I'll give you an update on this product, but the brush that comes with it seems pretty useless, but for £7.49 I looove this blusher!

Here's just a small compact mirror to go into my make-up bag for on the go. It's just a cheapy from Superdrug for £1.99 but it does the job.


Afterwards I went to Next and got one of their perfumes...

It's called Just Pink and it smells divine! For a 30ml bottle I bought it for £7.50 and I'm sooo happy because for a cheap perfume I love it.

Happy blogging :*

Louis Vuitton and pastel perfections.

hey y'all!
How are you? Well this week went pretty slowly as usual. But hey! It's he weekend.so this weekend I travelled down to Wales to vist the grandparents, I have taken a few snaps for next weeks post:)

I just thought I would tell you, I am obsessed with knee high socks with lace at the top! They are simply gorge. Infact I am wearing them right now! So here are some collages I made of pictures and stuff that tickled my fancy...


There we go! I am completely in love with these Louis Vuitton pics! They are........speechless! Mint green is in fashion this spring so I might have to invest in a mint green nail polish. I am also obsessed with Topshops skater, denim skirts, which are also done with white spots on!!! Oh my god!! In most of these modelling pictures they all have very nude lips which is stunning, I love them! And actually pale skin (yay!) although I am currently using Garniers body lotion which gives you a summer glow..and I does! Over all I love these pastel outfits and they are just perfection for la spring.
Hope you like this random but enjoyable post about what I like ❤❤❤

Well hello Mr. RaRa

Heya everyone,
Well as the weather has been improving (yyiiiipe!) I searched through my summer wardrobe and found a rara skirt. Iam sorry as I don't know the real name but a 'RaRa' seems perfectly suited. I picked out two fab outfits so here we go....
*Disclaimer- I apologise for another two selfies but I don't have any real models ;)
My Rara skirt is from New Look and was only £5!  I paired this with a plain stripy top (H&M) which  is an vital to have because.....well....yeah! I rolled the sleeves up to make it look a bit more summery and pretty. In my hair I have crocheted flowers in multicolours ( they're marvellous)  . I think these look really girly and perfect for spring. I decided to use this mini picnic basket for a handbag because baskets are adorable!! It also makes the outfit look quirky and fun.
I do excuse that in this photo it looks like I have a giant blue hat on, but I don't it is a Chinese parasol.   
For this outfit I wore a thin white baggy shirt from Zara which I love! I tucked it into my Rara skirt. The main colour scheme for this was red, in my hair I wore a red and white poka dot tie thingmabob, red, chunky beads (Monsoon) and a pale red lip stick (Applelicious in big red apple). For a handbag I decided to go quirky again with a small, red basket. 
Ta very much! Hope you liked my outfits. Love

Megan's Essential Summer Bargains

Sun, shorts and sunglasses... I think summer is nearly here!
Here in England we've been waiting for this moment through our very long and very cold winter, so lets make the most of long days, warm evenings and the gorgeous sunshine!

In this blog post I'm going to be sharing my essential summer bargains to make summer 2013 the best one yet!


I think it's fair to say that in summer we all try to wear as little make-up as possible to give our skin its well-deserved sunshine glow; so clear, flawless skin would be nice once in a while! For the past month I've been searching for a decent skin product that actually does what it says, and yes, I may have finally found it.
The brand is called T-Zone and it uses the natural scent of tea tree (very beneficial source for pores) to clear your skin and leave it feeling fresh, revived and most importantly, clean. So far I've bought 3 of their products and they are all fabulous for my skin! 

1. My favourite of the 3: Deep Pore Cleansing Cream Wash
Every night, after my shower, I apply this onto dry skin and gently massage everywhere on my face for about 30 seconds. It is amazing and surprisingly quick reacting, as the first day I used this I woke up the next day with practically a new face! (slightly exaggerated!) All my small breakouts had reduced in redness and size dramatically, leaving me to just use a tiny bit of concealer to cover slightly. 
2. Invigorating Cooling Scrub 
Once again, I use this in the evening and apply it onto a wet face and scrub (gently, it's quite rough on skin). You can actually feel it purifying your skin once it's been on for a while which is great because you feel good too.
3. Skin Cleaning Face Moisturiser
I apply this every evening and morning to revive and (obviously) moisturise my face. It's great and I feel so fresh and confident after the application because I know that some moisturisers can just be oily and pretty bad for your skin, but this is one less worry when using any T-Zone product, especially this one.

Another amazing benefit to T-Zone is that it is extremely cheap! £5 for 3 great products is one good bargain if you ask me!


This is the season when your legs are always out, whether you're wearing shorts, a dress or a skirt, so these two items will help you have beautiful legs for any occasion. 

So first of all is the Satin Care shave gel for dry legs, I find this gives me a smooth shave and also prevents moisture loss whilst shaving. So two great reasons to treat yourself and also I bought it for only £1.99, which is another great bargain.
Secondly is the Garnier Nourishing Lotion, which is an amazing moisturiser and it also lasts a lot longer than other body moisturisers that I've used before. This is great for me because I hate moisturising so the little I have to do it, the better to be honest! And finally, like all the others- it was another wonderful bargain- only £1.99! :)


We all need a fruity, happy smell to stay beside us in our bags throughout summer and I think I've found one worthy of this important essential! It's the Impulse Sweet Smile scent which smells fabulous, words can't describe it! Like all of the Impulse range, it's gentle on your skin and makes you happy just with a quick spray of heaven. I got this for £1 and it is amazing for every occasion and by far my new favourite scent by Impulse so far (sorry True Love!) 



So with all these summer treats, I think I'm ready for the sun! For under £10 this set of essentials will make your summer that extra bit more fabulous!

Enjoy!
