random case of the munchies

A really REALLY random update:

so i get in from work, tired and hungry and to my suprise my gorgeous parents had picked us up a chinese! :D

sometimes, there is nothing better than some good old fast food once in a while... what is your guilty pleasure when it comes down to junk food?

Take care,

Char ♥

p.s - i had prawn chow mein incase you were wondering...

p.p.s- i then had a bar of cadbury whole nut straight afterwards...bad times!

(mini) haul :)

oh how i love boots 3 for 2! :D

products: revlon quad in 03 neutral khakis, revlon peach petal lipgloss & l'oreal telescopic waterproof mascara (for holiday)

favourite product by far has to be the revlon lipgloss, i can totally understand what all the hype is about. it looks amazing over a pinky nude lip but is also a nice sweep of colour when worn alone. will definitely be checking out more of this range - coral reef is next on my list!

Swatches from the revlon quad:

sorry in advance for the terrible swatches but you get the picture :) they are nice for a light wash of colour however, i was abit disappointed with the pigmentation- i expected the colours to be alot stronger. these eyeshadows are meant to last 12 hours, i haven't actually worn them out yet but i will definitely let you guys know if this is true as that may be the selling point for me with these eyeshadows :)

earrings - primarks £2!

slightly random but thought i would add these in anyways... these caught my eye because of their gorgeous turquoise colour. i will definitely take these away with me as they will brighten up any outfit and are so cheap that i can always buy a back up if these break!

a rather short but sweet haul, me thinks :) i have been accumulating some new clothes over the past couple of weeks so will definitely be showing you guys them in my next couple of posts :)
hope you all are enjoying a nice, lazy sunday!

Take care,
Char ♥

bargain of the week...

all i can say is girls...get yourself to your nearest river island ASAP!

i have been eyeing up this dress for the past couple of weeks but for £39.99 i thought it was abit steep for a dress that i might only wear once or twice.

HOWEVER, i was checking out the river island website (trying to put of revising!) and saw that this dress had been reduced to £15! i was so shocked but i didn't really want to spend the £3-4 postage and packaging so i waited until i could check out the river island in my town...

Guess what? i got the last one (& it was in my size :O ) it's fate i tell yaaaa:

now it may not be to everyone's taste but i really do love it! :) it has some puffiness on the shoulders and a gold chain detail at the top of the front of the dress. it reminds me of one of those vintage tea-dresses and i would probably pair them with some black ankle heel boots!

this wasn't the only item of clothing on offer, they have reduced many of their summer stock by £10 or £15 so i would definitely recommend checking river island out at the moment! some of their stuff is abit "hit and miss" but i honestly think that they have some of the best summer clothes on the high street at the moment :)

nail colour of the month!

so throughout the month of may, due to exams, i wasn't working that many shifts which meant i could actually wear nail polish! wooooop :)

the colour i have been loving recently is barry m's 279 bright pink, price- £2.99:

(apologies for crappy photography but you get the idea, a typical bright pink colour)

now some people may consider this a rather tacky colour, my dad included, but i honestly really like it! it brightens up any outfit and is perfect for summer :)

i have always been a huge fan of barry m nail paints and consider their colour range and quality to be comparable against the likes of opi, (and for a fraction of the price!)

my nails lasted about 3 days before they started chipping and that is without a base/top coat...i know i really should but i'm just tooooo lazy!

i would definitely recommend this colour for the summer and i'm sure many of you already have a bright pink polish as a staple in your collections...it's impossible to resist a little tackiness!

if you want to try some barry m nail paints keep checking your local boots as they often have offers such as 2 nail paints for £5 :)

Take care guys,

Char ♥

i have missed you guys!

hello my gorgeous readers, exams have finished which means blogging can again commence! apologies again for the lack of posts but i have so many ideas on future posts so keep tuned :)

tomorrow is the day for blogging and i will include some photo's/info on what i have been up to since being m.i.a, not including revision of course!
hope you are all looking forward to a long, relaxing summer :)

Take care,

Char ♥
