Hello, ladies and gents! I'm finally back from essay hell and I cannot be happier for it. As soon as I'd handed them in, I headed into town and threw my piece of plastic at unsuspecting shop assistants. As you can tell from these items, I live on a rather limited budget but, sometimes, it's nice to spoil yourself a little - regardless of whether or not they're little things! As ever, I picked up a couple of bits from LUSH. I explained to the lady in the store that I was hoping for a pamper night so she kindly threw in a sample of Dream Cream because I sang its praises as I wandered around with her. The Korres lip butter is a staple in my handbag because I'm still fighting off the last of the wintery dry skin. A review of the Burts Bees kit will be up as soon as I've had the time to test drive the products a little more so keep your eyes peeled!
My Paperchase box is now housing all of my skincare/bodycare products and is also looking rather aesthetically pleasing on my Ikea bookcase. New Look are having a BOGOF offer on jewellery at the moment so I thought I'd take advantage and stock up on a couple of bracelets that'd bring my arm candy up to date with S/S. I'm pretty smitten with them already. I'm also rather taken with my cheap wire headband from Primark; It's going to take pride of place around my topknot this spring - I can sense it!
For some reason, I couldn't find any clothes I liked the look of in the couple of shops that I ventured in to - they're either not me or not suitable for my weird ass shape :/ Someone, help! I wouldn't normally share the contents of my underwear drawer with the viewing public but I thought these bras/undies were too pretty not to show. Primark is your best bet if, like me, you can't afford to spend too much money on housing your ladies but want styles that are still rather pretty. There were plenty of other styles that I would have loved to have picked up if they didn't come with a matching thong; I may be in the minority but I just don't get thongs. There's 'look at my bouncing buttocks' and then there's dental-floss-between-my-cheeks pain....
Anyway, enough of the over-share of info! If you'd like to see a more in depth review of any of the items featured then please request them in the comments! If you've got any requests for future posts, please feel free to leave them in the comments, also. I hope you all have a lovely rest of your lazy Sundays. I'm off to clean my bomb site of a flat, cook some dinner and attempt to do some uni work. Oh, snore! ♥
