Presents from Malta

My sister has just come back from Malta and brought back presents!! She bought everyone else trinkets and Maltese memorabilia but, knowing me as she does, this is what she bought for me. 

I LOVE both the handbag and the necklace, they are just to my taste. I love receiving gifts/buying things from different countries, as I love having unique, individual things back home. The bag will look lovely with a nice summery dress and I love the design of the necklace, it's so pretty.

Check out my blog sale here and my giveaway here :D 

When you like something, buy EVERYTHING from that brand!!

The other day I posted my concealer best and worst here and in that I mentioned the concealer by the brand W7. I have never had a product from this brand before, but after using the miracle concealer, I decided to go and get a few more products. 

As you can see from the picture above, I bought another concealer (liquid this time, instead of the stick) and a blush.

Firstly, I love the packaging of this blush. I think it looks a lot more expensive than it was and I love the way the semi circle compartments look. I bought this in the shade baby pink, and I love the colour. So far I have only swatched it, but it looks gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it. The shade is a really subtle, pretty pink with a slight shimmery look.

I tried this concealer as soon as I got home and expected to look 10 years younger (11?). I got the lightest colour there, although I can't see the shade on the packaging (I'm assuming 'light'). This concealer is also really good at covering dark circles and blemishes. However, compared to the other, I do prefer the concealer stick as I personally think it gives me a lot more coverage. With this being liquid, I felt it went into my lines and didn't do my eyes as much justice as the stick. 

Overall, I am once again really impressed with the W7 range. Both the prices and the quality of the products baffle me, and as the title suggests, I will be keeping my eye out for more in their collection. 

Thanks for reading

The wind blew me in...

I can't walk past a shop without going in, that's a fact. Fortunately for my bank balance, it was only a charity shop, and who can honestly say no to bargains like these? 

This dress was four pounds, with a label still on for twenty two pounds!! It's originally from Tu at Sainsbury's. It's a completely see through dress that comes just above the knee with a slip underneath, the same blue colour as the dress.

This had a label on for sixteen pounds and it cost me one pound twenty. It's a lovely floral tee from Next. The bottom of the top is elasticated, which I think makes it more interesting than just a plain top.

You cannot fathom how excited I am about this book. I am a HUGE Sophie Kinsella fan, and I have thought I had read all of her books. I didn't even know this one existed!!! This is also bad because I have read a series of books and not even realised there was one missing but we can work with that. And as you can see it was twenty pence soo... BARGAIN!

This won't be to everyone's taste (the fella didn't seem too keen), but I love it. At the moment I store my rings in just a purple tub with a lid, and I've been looking for a plate/tray to keep them on so I can display them nicely and actually see what is there. I love the floral design on this (I love all things floral if you can't tell) and I think it's going to look really pretty on my window sill with some nice pieces of jewellery on.

Also, not worthy of a full post, but definitely worthy of a mention is this ring. It was one pound from Matalan, reduced from seven, and although I'm not 100% sure what to wear it with or how to feel about it staring at me, I had to get it for the sheer craziness of it.  

So there we go. What do you think of these pieces? What bargains have you bought recently? 

Thank you for reading, it means so much to me!! At 100 followers I'm going to do my first ever giveaway so don't miss out. If you follow my blog, I'll come and follow yours back. We all have to help each other don't we bloggers.
