Back !

Hey Blogletts,
Just to let you know I am back from holiday.
I have a few posts written so they will be up in the next few days.
I will be going away again next week for 4 weeks but I will still try and post when I am at a library (as I am going to the middle of nowhere with no internet)
Hope you are all okay and having fun.
Bye for now xx

Chitter chatter

Hey Blogletss,
I have not done a post in ages AGAIN. Rather sorry, I have been a little busy looking at university options eeekk! Time does fly.
Also once again I am ill, jeez you'd think I'd stop being such a sick person but no, so getting out of bed feels not so good. However as soon as I'm feeling chipper, I will rush up to get a post up for you blogletts.
Hope you don't mind too much, if there is anything you want me to do, I will take note and try and fulfill your request.
Bye for now xx

London Haul - Camden Market & Westfields

Hey Blogletts,
So to celebrate no more exams ... till January .... we descided to take a trip to London. We thought it would be nice to go to Camden Market, WOW , I thought it was going to be an up and down market but boy was I wrong. It is HUGE and scattered everywhere, we didn't buy things really from stools but more from the little shops.
First of all I picked up a little headscarf from a retro vintage shop, I have wanted one for a while and loved this pattern so couldn't resist.

Then I have been searching for a Joy Division T-Shirt ever since I saw Jen from 'clothes encounters' wearing one, and finally my quest is over. I love this and think it will look great with leggings.

So it is my Mum's birthday soon and she is into old niknak type things so when I saw this sign I had to get it for her.

Then we moved on to Westfields, the second best place in the world, after Selfridges.
Now I had a traumatic time in Forever 21, my friend takes hours to try things on and look so hot, flustered and sore feet does not = happy Holly no no no. But I did find this jacket which was a bit contraversial. I hated it on the hanger but thought to myself I need a jacket I have none so tried it on and it was love. It is a cross between a jacket and a blazer so can be dressed up or down, sooo versatile.

Then this is where the damage was done, Zara. I love Zara, it is my favourite shop and I want to live in there, the clothes are nice, the layout is nice and the staff are nice - important in my books.
Now there has been a jacket flying round Youtube and the Blogging world and I thought well maybe I should look out for it but in doing this I found something way better, oh yes. It is a denim jacket, which I have wanted for ages, with p-leather sleeves. I am in LOVE. It was £40 but in my eyes well worth it. I may have freaked out the cashier by saying to my friend 'I am going to live in it and even patch it up if it breaks.' She also got a jacket, not the same one, and we were sooo happy.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this haul.

Anything on your wishlist for this month?

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo - Eternal Gold

Hey Blogletts,
So there has been a huge craze over these products by Maybelline so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and get one, I tried to resist but I couldn't for much longer.
For those of you crazy cats that don't know what these are, they are a gel-cream shadow, quite comparable with MAC paint pots but at a fraction of the price, yay.
So I picked up the colour 05 - Eternal Gold, which is a shimmery gold champagne colour, perfect light colour for summer!

This lasts a long time, suggested by the 24hr in the name. I'm not too sure it would last 24hrs as I don't tend to wear my makeup for longer that 5-6 hours but it lasts pretty well for that time. These are perfect bases for powder shadows or look great on their own. As I'm a bit paranoid that my eyeshadows are going to crease, so I will always set cream products so I am not too sure whether it will crease or not however I have read other reviews and most people say they do not crease.

Overall this is such a good product and I really reccomend these to everyone, also got my eyes on the shade 'on and on bronze'.

I hope this has been helpful and let me know what your favourite cream eyeshadow is.

Magazine of the month #2 - Glamour

Hey Blogletts,
So a while a go I did a 'Magazine of the month' post on where you got a free soap and glory mascara with InSyle I think.
Well it is not that time of the year where Glamour teams up with Benefit, last year they had benetint and highbeam, this year there is a choice between 'bad gal lash' mascara, 'that gal' primer or 'the porefessional' primer.

Well I have wanted to try the porefessional for a long time now so of course I jumped at the chance. It is a pretty incy sample however the full size bottle isn't that big anyway so it isn't a big deal.

I may have gone a little crazy and have got 3 ..... but it my defence the magazine is only £2 compared to the product being at £23 ish.

Hope this has been helpful

Super quick cooking

Hey Blogletts,
So where I am in the UK it has been rather humid and hot for the past few days, I'm all for a bit of hot but there is no movement of cool air. This just makes people feel lazy and hot food on top of the heat is just a thought that does not want to cross my mind.
So I thought I would share a super quick, light meal I cook on days like this - crab tagliatelle.

First of all, I simply cook some pasta (they didn't have tagliatelle at my local coop so pasta will have to do).
Then whilst this is cooking I chop up half of a yellow pepper. Any pepper would do and any amount, this is just what I prefer.
When the pasta is done, I drain it off, shake it out, letting the water drain off and the pasta to cool down.
I then take a tin of crab, pour the 'juices' over the pasta then distribute the crab throughout.
I then take the pepper and fry it in soy sauce, oh my gosh tastes so goood.
Finally put it all on a plate and hey presto, super quick, easy, yummy dinner.

So I hope this is useful for those humid, 'sweaty' days (nice Holly nice). Also if you're a little lazy in the kitchen like me it doesn't involve much!

What's your perfect food for these muggy days? - found the word I was looking for - muggy.

My top 3 perfumes

Hey Blogletts,
So I recently was given a gift set for my favourite perfume which rekindled my love for it and some of my other perfumes. I thought I would just share these with you.
First of all, my favourite perfume is Thierry Mugler 'Angel' perfume. I LOVE THIS. My mum used to wear this all the time so it reminds me of my childhood and good memories, which I like in a perfume. On the debenhams website the descrition is a load of tosh so I won't relay this but I feel it is quite a mature scent but light enough to wear in the day and slightly fruity, not too much though.

This is only 25ml so the bottle looks a little different. The full size price is around £45 a little pricey but when this runs out I will purchase this again.

So my second favourite is another Thierry Mugler and it's 'Alien'. This is more of a night time perfume as it is strong, a little goes a long way. This scent is difficult to describe, it is more mature than angel, the website says zesty, not sure about that.

This is only a sample but as I said a little goes a long way, it can be overpowering so if you put too much on, try flapping about a bit. The full size is again around £45 and I will repurchase, just may take a while.

Finally the wonder which is Ange ou demon by Givenchy. Again more of a mature scent, oriental flower like some may say. I like this but again more for going out as it's a little strong again.

I like this bottle the most, so classy. The price is around £40 so not as pricey as the others.

EXTRA

I thought I would add a runner up. G perfume I loved this then some stuff has gone down with the company who I can't spell the name of (harijuku). This is super fruity and great for the summer. You can still sometimes find this in TKMaxx, the most stressful shop but they do have great beauty baragains!

So that was my top 3 perfumes.

Hope you enjoyed!

What's your favourite perfume?
