Blogmas Day 23 - Outfit Of The Day

Are you getting bored of these posts yet? I thought I would take advantage of the fact that I got to wear actual clothes (other than my work uniform) this week as I've been quite busy, and post about it. This is what I wore yesterday when doing a bit of shopping in town (today was a uniform and pyjamas type of day).

Dress - Exhibit

Cardigan - Local Store

Tights - Asda

Boots - Target

Scarf - Forever 21

You may notice I'm in a changing room in this photo and that's because the sales are so good already! I've bought quite a bit recently because there's been a few good bargains so i'll do a haul for you all soon. I have a parcel coming from ASOS so I thought it would be best to wait until it arrives before I do a post about it.

Ill hopefully have another outfit of the day post up for you all on Christmas Day. I'm trying to decide between two outfits on which one I want to wear.

What do you like to wear whilst shopping? Do you go for style or comfort?

Shopping Haul!

First of all, I would like to saw a big thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday! I got emails through on my phone as you commented on my last post and it brought a big smile to my face so thank you so much!

I have a few shopping hauls coming up because I haven't had time to upload any photographs recently! I've decided to start with this one because it was the longest ago, and then work my way forward. I'm so behind on my blogging recently!

This was from my shopping trip two weeks ago, I think I may have mentioned it in another post around then.

I'd been wanting to buy Lush's Angels on Bare Skin cleanser for a while so I was glad to finally get my hands on it as I'd read good things about it. Unfortunately I still haven't even got to try it yet, but once I do I will let you all know how I got on.

Next I bought Soap & Glory's Hand Food. This is the hand cream I've been using for a while now and I love it so I just needed to stock up on it!

I've heard/read that MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer is an amazing concealer and can also be used as a foundation. As someone who loves to hear this type of thing, I had to buy it next time I was near their counter. I've used it two or three times already and I know already that I'll definitely be repurchasing.

Just some basic hair grips next because I appear to loose these everyday I wear them.

I found this store in Belfast called City Picnic and it is amazing if you like American food and candy the way I do. I had been wanting to try this Swiss Miss hot chocolate for so long so i was absolutely delighted when I saw it and picked it up immediately. I also got two peppermint patties but they didn't make it to the photo shoot. I also love Uncrustables but I can never buy these online since they're frozen so I have now been able to make my own thanks to Smuckers Strawberry PB&J.

I'd not planned on buying any new clothes and I never shop in Pull & Bear but whilst in with my sister I spotted this cute striped tank top and tried it on and loved it.

I also picked up a plain burgundy/maroon coloured tank top in H&M to wear under the dress I also purchased.

Once again, I hadn't even been looking for any new dresses at all, but I saw this out of the corner of my eye and this is my favourite colour at the minute, especially for going into Autumn so I had to go and try it on. It's a nice floaty chiffon material that looks lovely with the thin black studded belt I also picked up a few days ago. I'm so excited to wear this dress, I just need a reason now!

I'll try and take some photographs for my birthday haul and post them in the next few days as I bought/received some nice things!

Lush - Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar Review

I bought this soap in February thinking that my first bar would be done around then and that I would have my second one ready. It actually lasted far longer than expected so I only started using this new bar about 2 weeks ago. I decided to use it a few times before I wrote on a review on it so that I knew what it was like.

It works exactly the same as the first shampoo bar I used. You simply run your hair under some water, rub the bar into your head a few times and it will lather up quickly. Rub the lather into your head and then rinse out. I have washed my hair twice with it a few times because my friend said that shampooing your hair twice makes your hair far cleaner, and it definitely does. However, I am only reviewing a single use of this shampoo bar. I was amazed after only one use of this bar at how clean it left my hair. It's specifically for greasy hair and I tend to wash my hair every other day so I thought this would let that clean feeling last longer, and it does. After washing and conditioning my hair and then drying it, it feels like all the build up has left my hair and it feels really light and clean. It also smells delicious, it's a very fresh, lemony smell.

Pros :

• Inexpensive, only £5 and lasts around 3 months.
• Refreshing smell.
• Equivalent to 3 x 200ml bottles of shampoo.
• Works very well for getting an extra day out of greasy hair.

Cons :

• Zero, I can honestly find no wrong in these shampoo bars!

I absolutely adore these shampoo bars and will continue buying them for a long time as they are far, far better than bottles of shampoo. In comparison with my first one, the Karma Komba bar, I can't decide which I like better. I love the Karma scent in Lush which draws me to that one, but the Jumping Juniper bar leaves my hair feeling the cleanest.

I will hopefully be buying a conditioner bar from Lush this week to try out so I'll let you all know how that goes!

If anyone would like to buy me a present...Office Vegas Wedges in Nude

Office VEGAS NUDE MICROFIBRE Shoes - Womens Mid Heels Shoes - Office Shoes

Just incase anyone fancies buying me a little present, I want these wedges so bad! Size 6 please :) They will be mine...
