April Beauty Purchases

 W7 Camouflage Concealer Kit, Dotting Nail Art Tools, Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - eBay |
Benefit Products -
Debenhams

It's been a while since I did any kind of purchases/haul post. Not because I haven't bought anything (as if) but because I buy too much and then can't be asked to photograph it all. So I thought I'd keep it small and show my new beauty purchases instead. eBay is so underestimated. Believe me, it probably has everything for the best prices. I swear by this Sally Hansen nail strengthener and I couldn't find it in any shop near me so I was so happy to see it on there. The dotting tools are to add to my neverending nail kit and this W7 concealer palette is something I've wanted to try out for a while to use for my eyebrows. I hope it's good.

Now. This mascara. Holy grail product for sure. This is the only mascara that makes my eyelashes stand out so much more but doesn't make them look unnatural. Added bonus that they are selling it in a pack at the moment with the Benefit High Brow Glow pencil. It's a bit harder to blend on my skin than concealer though so I'll probably not use it.

P.S Thank you for the love and support from my 'Yellow' blogpost! Glad so many people liked it!

LAUREN POPE

Images taken from Lauren's instagram, lookbook and celebmafia.com

I'm not the biggest TOWIE fan but when it comes to style Lauren Pope wins every time. She is my favourite from the show for two reasons. Firstly, she's a female DJ; something I dream of doing one day and Secondly, she knows how to dress! I hardly ever see this woman in an outfit that is not good. Seriously, a few people from the show could take some tips from her. I love the way she puts things together. Even the Zara eye dress, which I have grown to dislike, she made it work for me! I feel like she's so much more than just a reality tv star. Being a DJ makes her much cooler and the stylish wardrobe is a bonus. So much inspiration. I think I need me a blue suit now.

Y E L L O W

90's Crop Top - Miss Selfridge | Jeans - Topshop | Jacket - Zara | Bag - Primark

Firstly, can we just applaud Zara for this beauty of a jacket... 
You know in romantic novels when one person can't stop thinking about another day in day out, well that was me and this jacket. I contemplated getting it, accidentally (on purpose) passing through Zara one too many times to look at it and try it on. Then finally gave into it. Glad I did too.
Zara's spring collection colour scheme is winning right now. Pastels everywhere. Seriously, I'm a student, I shouldn't be getting myself into this but this was an investment well made. This is the first time I've worn it out and believe me I can be seen from miles away. If your not a fan of yellow, there is now a similar jacket in the most beautiful pastel blue colour though. I could ramble on about this jacket forever but I won't. Everything else in the outfit was pretty casual as I was only going for lunch & shopping with a friend.

That's all. Hope everyone has a happy Easter.

My Top Threes | Nail Polishes for Spring/Summer

 Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine 'Blueberry' | Primark P.S Nail Polish (No Name) | Barry M 'Peach Melba'

If you follow me on instagram (tiiaaxo), you will see that a lot of the time I have painted nails. I am slowly becoming a nail addict. I have my own nail kit from eBay which I am using to practice acrylics with. In my previous Top Three post you would have seen my new nail stand which I love and can't wait to fill up. I just love painting my nails and having them stand out even when my outfits don't. Ramble over.
 
These are my top three nail polishes for spring/summer. I tend to go for bright colours all the time but I am loving these particular pastel shades at the moment. As a big fan of Barry M for a long time I am always checking out their collection and these are two of the recent ones I've bought. The 'Blueberry' is a lovely shade of blue which I can't wait to try out on my nails I've been looking for the perfect blue shade for a while & this is it. The 'Peach Melba' is my new favourite Barry M polish overall. Peach nails are just urgh. *insert lovestruck face* Basically. The lilac shade is part of Primark's new nail polish collection and it only cost a £1! They have all the basic shades that you would need for a nail polish collection so I recommend checking them out. I have three different brands of lilac nail polish and this is the only one that comes with a nice thick brush so well done to them. Don't sleep on Primark, they are moving on up!

P.S I am slowly making changes to my blog as you might have noticed. New blog banner, adverts on the side. Trying to make it more me.
