New Favourite for the Eyes?!

Hey lovelies;

So, a week or two ago now, I went on a little shopping trip with a friend, surprisingly I ended up walking away from the counters in Boots empty handed. Laura however bought a couple of lovely bits from the Estee Lauder stand, where she was then given the choice of a free lipstick or mascara, she chose mascara, and to my delight, she handed the little wrapped up package of goodness to me, as she already had a sample of this in her make-up stash (yes she is an Estee Lauder junkie)!

As I say, I've had a nice amount of time to try out the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara, it's believe it or not the very first high end mascara that I've ever had the pleasure of trying, I'm well and truly in love. It gives the lashes so much length, with I'd say a fair bit of volume. In the photos above I am wearing three thin layerings, I think it looks lovely, it keeps the lashes nice and separated, as you can see, I have not even a tiny hint of clump, and best of all, it stays put all day long, even running around work during this busy recent period, feeling all sweaty (lovely I know) I've managed to go home at the end of each day without the effect of the very dreaded panda eyes, 

This mascara has such a big thumbs up from me, and I will definitely be purchasing the full size when it runs runs out, you can purchase it here.

Have you tried this mascara? If so, what do/did you think?

Also feel free to leave any post suggestions in the comments below, and I will be sure to crack on with them!

Favourite Handbag Lipsticks

Today, I thought that I'd talk to you about the three lipsticks which you'll find inside my handbag at all times, I'm absolutely obsessed with these beauties!

From left to right, Rimmel London Apocalips in Nova, Mac Lipstick in Vegas Volt, Rimmel London Apocalips in Luna

Rimmel Apocalips in Luna

Rimmel Apocalips in Nova

I've owned these two shades of Rimmel London Apocalips, both Luna and Nova, for I'd say around 6-7 months now, but its only during the past two months, where I've been wearing them more and more, all the way through to the point where they now, both make very regular appearances into my handbag. In the images I'm wearing them full on, but bear in mind you can definitely sheer them out to make them more everyday appropriate for your preference. These are soft, creamy, and I do find them to be very long lasting. They retail for £6.49 a piece.

Now, I have shown this lippie in a post, or two before this one, which you can see both here and here. I just couldn't leave MACS Vegas Volt, which retails at a price of £15.50, out of Favourite Handbag Lipsticks. Just look at how gorgeous that shade is. This is the very first MAC Lipstick that I ever purchased around 4-5 years back, and I just know that it will continue to be a favourite for years to come. This is one of MACS amplified lippies, which means that it has such a silky, soft, creamy formula, which leaves the lips feeling so amazingly smooth and beautifully moisturised, making the lips look healthy and.. well enough of the blabbering it is just an overall lovely lipstick, which I know would look great on all skin tones, out of the three, I know that this is definitely my most reached. Seriously, if you havent tried it, do it now, go on, do it! I know you want to :D

I hope that you enjoyed this post guys, I'd love to hear what your favourite handbag lipsticks are in the comments below, I'm always looking to try new one's out :)

Ohh, and if you have any suggestions for future posts, please feel free to let me know!

Nike Haul

So, due to me and my bloke-y deciding to take the plunge into joining the near by gym, for they're workout facilities, pool and jacuzzi, I thought what better time to treat myself to some cute workout gear!

I'll start off with the boring, but not so boring bits.

You would not believe how much love I have for these trainer socks, I've never had socks so soft and comfy, its like wrapping your feel into clouds, which you would expect for £9.00 per three pack!

You can find them here.

Next up are some sports essentials;

I do like this first plain white sports bra, I reckon it would look nice with a brightly coloured tank over the top, there are plenty of other bright colour options though, if you would prefer something a bit more shocking. 

Nike Pro Women's Sports Bra - £22.00

I'm sorry but how awesome is this second patterned one?! I mean, it is a little more pricey than the above sports bra, but look at it, just look at it..such a beautiful piece!

Nike Victory Compression Safari Women's Sports Bra - £30.00

Now, lets just admire these next few photographs just for a second...

 how incredible are these shoes? 

I wasn't too sure about which size to get, because from the reviews that I was scrolling through, a lot of people said how they'd needed to go up half a size where as some others, had said about needing to go up a full size from they're usual shoe size. I'm normally a three, so I decided to order a three and a half. To my delight, they turned out perfect, and they are sooo darn comfortable, I've never worn trainers like it, I actually think that this is my favourite purchase from the year so far, no word of a lie, I am such a fan now! In fact I have already decided that I'm going to need to get a black, grey or white pair for normal day-to-day wear honestly if you try these, you'll never go back!

What's more, if this isn't quite you're colour, there are 10 other pre-sets to choose from, or from the site for an extra £30.00, you can completely customise every inch of colouring to your hearts content, from the base colour to the overlay to the swoosh, all the way through to the tongue and lining!

Nike Free 5.0 Women's Running Shoe - £90.00      Dri-FIT Graphic Training Socks - £9.00

I hope that you enjoyed looking through my recent purchases, I know that I certainly did!

I have a couple future posts planned, but by all means, if you have any requests what so ever, please feel free to leave them in the comments below:)
