Primark haul - February

Hi everyone,

Although it's probably only been a couple of weeks since I went to Primark, another visit was well overdue. These are some of the goodies I picked up this weekend.

A good basic t-shirt for £4 - great for layering up with cardigans in spring or under jumpers.

I fell in love with this t-shirt. It's not a phrase I've heard of before but it's so true (plus it has glitter!)

I've been wanting a pair of high top trainers for a while. These were £10 and floral. They're well padded and even if they only last a season, I reckon they're a good buy for spring. Keep an eye out for these in future posts!

Grey day - OOTD

Hi everyone,

I seemed to end up wearing various shades of grey earlier in the week. I did for a fleeting moment consider a 50 shades themed post but thought that was just too much for my little blog!

This shirt is so old. But I've never found anything better to replace it so I keep hoping and praying that it never wears out. It's from Peacocks and is great for dressing up and down.

I don't quite know what was going on here! A very unflattering pose. Anyway, I popped a starry jumper from Marks and Spencer on top. It's a few years old but I've noticed a few items for sale recently with stars so I rescued it from the charity bag and decided to give it another go.

More stars, a few clouds and I'm ready to go!

It wasn't a completely grey day, my old faithful trainers from TU @ Sainsburys made an appearance too!

Bit of an unusual outfit for me - I normally wear more colour. But a change is good occasionally.

Benefit Roller Lash

Hi everyone,

I've seen lots and lots of reviews of this new product from Benefit. There's a free sample with this months edition of Elle. So here's what I thought of it.

Bu first of all I have to say - I am no expert on make-up! Most days I wear none at all and I'm normally seen running through the beauty departments like a hunted rabbit. I tend to stick with what I know and I have to admit I don't like to spend a lot on something I won't use a lot. The one product I will tend to use more than anything though is a mascara as I think it helps make me look more awake (perfect for those mornings where you have to try to be as alert as possible), so anything new on the market that's mascara related catches my attention.

Oh my goodness - excuse the early morning just got of bed face! But hopefully it gives you some idea of the before and after.

The sample is a very small - but perfect for popping in an overnight or holiday bag. Overall impression - I would seriously consider buying the full size product - which basically is a big thumbs up from me. It didn't feel clumpy and definitely gave a curling effect. No irritation and it lasted for most of the day. For someone who wants a quick and easy product - it ticked all the boxes.

Valentines OOTD

Hi everyone,

Well, that's Valentines day done and dusted for another year. I'm in two minds about the whole day. As much as I like a bit of romance (ok - a lot!) it seems forced to do it on the one day. I think romance and love are found in lots of different places and actions.

 However, I do like a themed day - so here's what I wore:

The jumper is an oldie from George @ Asda. It's a size 20 and there's plenty of wiggle room there. The necklace is Accessorize. I love their plastic jewellery and this is still available on their website.
