Amazing Saving!

So, I did a cheeky little order from Monki the other day, and my dress arrived yesterday. And oh my, I am absolutely in love with it. It was an absolute bargain, only £12 from £25. And I have to say, I was very impressed with their delivery service.

The print of this dress is what got me, it's so unique and interesting, I was so excited for it to arrive. I've never brought a dress from Monki before, so I wasn't sure what their sizing is like. I ended up getting an XS, and it fits perfectly on me(usually a UK size 6/8 or US size 2/4).




I'm really excited thinking about all the ways that I can style this. I'll be dressing it up next month when I go out for a meal and to see Jimmy Carr, with black wedged heels and either a black leather jacket or black blazer. But I love this dress for a casual day out shopping, with some converse and a denim jacket. I just think it's so versatile.

Also, one of my pet hates are dresses that are too short for my leg length, and this dress is just perfect; I'm not conscious that my bottom is showing the entire time. So all in all top marks for Monki! I will definitely be going back for dresses from there in the future!

New Body Butter

So, when walking past The Body Shop not long ago, I noticed in the window there was a sign saying that their body butters were on sale at only £5!(They're usually £13). So of course, I wouldn't resist popping in and picking one up.
I was in there smelling all the different varieties, and there was one that really stood out to me, the blueberry one! I didn't think I'd ever seen it before, and when the shop assistant noticed it had gotten my attention, she came over to talk to me and was telling me that its a re release apparently and they haven't had it for a very long time. 
I decided that it was my favourite and purchased it.


I have quite dry skin, so the fact that this one is perfect for dry skin is a bonus. If I moisturise in the morning after my shower, by the end of the day my skin still feels baby soft and I can still smell the blueberry smell. It really is a top purchase :)

MUA Undressed Palette

I'd heard a lot of good things about the MUA palettes, so while I was in Superdrug last week I decided to pick myself one up. And for only £4! I picked up the Undressed palette, which seems to be a high street alternative to the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
£4 for 12 eye shadows, I wasn't expecting much from this product, but oh how wrong I was. I am absolutely in love with it and have been using it every day for the past week or so.

The colours are so pigmented and its only a fraction of the price of the actual Naked palette. Also, I have found that the colours last all day on my eyelids as well.


There are SO many looks that you can create with this palette, suitable for so many occasions. You can create a simple day look, with just a light shimmer across the lid and a bit of definition in the crease. Or a dramatic evening look, that's smoky and sexy. 
Either way, I feel like there's something in this palette for everybody, and for £4 you can't go wrong.
I love it so much that I'm going to be going back and picking up more of their palettes!

Exams Are Over!

Wow. The past month or so has flown by! And finally, all my exams are over. No more manic revision, only summer to look forward to. 
I hope everyone that has also had exams has done brilliantly! And now it's time to relax, enjoy ourselves, and make the most of the summer!
