The Meadowhall Haul

Morning!

Last weekend I took a trip to Meadowhall with Bear and we had a lovely few hours of shopping. I had some birthday money that I wanted to spend and what better place than Meadowhall?! We also stopped at TGIF (obviously) however I didn't take any photos as I was too busy stuffing my face. Not everything I brought is featured, but this is most of it; 


I've wanted a new make-up bag for ages as mine is seriously gross, so I dragged Bear into Cath Kidston and came out with this little pretty! Bigger than the one I have now, this is a beautiful pale blue with floral (obviously) and I adore it. I haven't even put anything it it yet cause it's too nice! I also took a trip to Boots and purchased two of the new Speckled Egg collection from Models Own. I brought Magpie (green) and Duck (blue) and my lovely friend Kerry brought me Swan (lilac). There will be a review coming up on these in the next couple of weeks!


Bear also let me wander into MAC. What was he thinking? I've been wanting an empty pro-palette since, forever so I took the plunge. At £22.50 I was actually really impressed and the girl told me that the refills are only £10 - then she gave me a £5 gift card! Definitely going back next month for my first eyeshadow! I've also been wanting a new, spring blush for a couple of weeks now. I love my Rockteur but it's being used up fast and I want something a bit brighter. In comes Satin Taupe. Oh my days, what a beautiful colour! It's a very, very light baby pink (it looks dark in this picture, it isn't) so light in fact, I wouldn't wear it on a night out. But for natural days, or days where I don't want to wear too much face cake, this does the job! And at £18, it's cheaper than Benefit!



All hail the Hunters! These are actually what I went to Meadowhall for. My brilliant Bear brought me these for my birthday. What kinda girl asks for wellies for her birthday, I hear you ask? Well, the kind girl that wishes she was a farmer. To be honest, I've needed some new wellies for about a year, the ones I wear to Uni are ditched and, well, cheap. How pretty are these! At £85, they were a bit of a splash, but if you can't buy expensive wellies, what can ya do?!

I also brought two crop tops from Topshop, a black and a stripey one that are currently in the wash, hence no picture. I purchased some Lush items - Fizzbanger, Cosmetic Warrior and Mumkin, but these will have separate reviews. But anyway, a lovely little haul! I loved my day out with my handsome man and shopping makes me want to sqeal with happiness - especially when it's not my money, ameeenn.

What do you think of my products?!

Home Wishlist

Morning cuties;



So this month, seeing as our housemate has moved out, me and Bear have decided to completely sort the house out. This weekend we went to IKEA and purchased a huge TV uni and an open wardrobe, and seeing as we now have a spare room, Bear is pretty much letting me do what I want with it. So I have decided, to of course, turn it into a dressing room. That poor boy really needs to think before he speaks. I've done nothing but browse the Internet looking for cute, affordable things to put in my new favourite room and here are a few of my favourite necessities.

Cath Kidston Wallpaper - £25 per roll 

Wilko's Heart Bowls - Medium Sized - £4


Cranberry Ice Yankee Candle - £8.71 on Amazon currently

Matalan Print Cushion - £6 - One of many that I fallen for

IKEA Sofa Bed - £180

We'll actually be purchasing the sofa bed (that I have well and truly fallen in love with) just after my birthday and everything else I'm hoping to pick up over the next few weeks.
When you start lusting over kitchen appliances and pillows, you know you're an adult! Interiors are exciting! 

What's on your home wish list?
Any good sites to recommend me?
