Bits and bob haul

♔

٩(^‿^)۶

hello everybody!

My boyfriend told me that ToysRUs are now selling Minecraft stuff [eeeee imagine how excited I was!!] so as I looked on their website it was pretty much the same products that are sold in other stores so... heart breaking moment lolz.

All that was about to change as I decided to visit my boyfriend whilst he was at work. It was a surprise as he didn't check his phone beforehand so that was a good thing (oh I lurve him so much)

(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Pointed me to the Minecraft section (was walking round the store like a n00b searching high and low for green anything!!) and...saw the cute baby Pig, baby Mooshroom plushies and survival packs!!

( •́ﻩ•̀ )

Of course being me I erm...went for the cute stuff :D but before I went to see him I was in town picking up bits and bobs that would be useful to me atm (as well as mums shopping list)

Behold... the goodies!

oink

I bought this fabric glue from the 99p Store 

This would save me time stitching on fabrics together when in a rush or too lazy to drag out sewing machine, hooking up the thread again etc etc :)

Simple instructions on using fabric glue

Nice and sealed up! Just use the lid to puncture a hole through the foil

Dynamode USB Soundcard from Currys/PC World

Ever since I bought the headset to talk and play games with my friends, sadly my Macbook didn't have a microphone jack available so this was perfect for the job.

It works!

Looking forward to trying to glue out but sadly the 99p Store tends to change around their lines of products each week if not each month so fingers cross it's a must-stay product 

(wait...I've not tried it yet what am I saying)

Mucho love,

Tesco haul + great deals

♔

٩(^‿^)۶

hello everybody!

Just a small Tesco haul from a few days ago that I'd like to show you guys along with the savings/deals I've come across as well. Calculations of how much I've saved would be at the end of this post~

I love it when magazines are giving away Nails Inc bottles as their freebies. This time Nails Inc has collaborated with Kate Spade, a renown American designer, to release 4 shades for the readers of GLAMOUR. Sadly the Tesco branch I went to only had two shades available [Uptown Glamour (gold) and New York Noir (black)]. So it's worth getting for a full bottle (10ml) free with the magazine.

L-R: Kate Spade New York in New York Noir, Uptown Glamour, Soho Silver and Big Apple Red

Behold the gorgeous Katy Perry!

Here's my nail polish in the packaging
♠

Almost forgot to mention but inside GLAMOUR there is the Joy Card from The Body Shop entitling you to £3, £15 or £100 off your purchases in stores until the 24th December 2013. Last year I ended up with £3 off my purchase for bought myself a Hemp lip balm which was my favourite but used up too soon...my bad. Wonder how much I have off this year (bound to be the lowest) but better than nothing!

Had to check that GLAMOUR magazine wasn't included in this bundle but my other favourite magazines are!

The packaging reminds me so much of a theatrical stage especially with the words around the border "co-starring..." with the retro themed products as well!

towel headband...headband...towel....stretchy headband...someone tell me the actual name for these things (much appreciated). Comfy, big enough for my head, stretchy enough and definitely keeps my hair back

Say You Scrub Me - basically body scrub ;). Haven't tried this out yet as I've recently bought a body scrub not long ago but it smells the same as the face scrub I've reviewed from the beginning of this year Along Came Betty face scrub review

So Much Bubble - bath bubble

It's A Skin Thing - body shimmer.

Crystals Are A Girls Best Friend - bath crystals.

The names they have for these products are so catchy and obvious to certain phrases we've all heard in the past.

Now for the calculations from the Tesco haul:

GLAMOUR - £2 [Nails Inc - free £11] 

3 Great Magazines - £5.99 [ELLE - £4.00
                              COMPANY - £2.50
                                    COSMOPOLITAN - £3.60]
 Along Came Betty Shower Glam Packed Shower Treats - £3.50 [£7]

Sadly this offer from Tesco only lasts until 24th November 2013 saving you £3.50 [LINK]

So to recap in total I've only paid £11.49 for everything 
whereas without the savings I would have paid £30.10 for individual products. 
Saving me £18.61!
I'm glad I decided to check on the Tesco website on that shower treats set.

Phew ~ haul finally typed up before the offer has ended. Worth getting for yourself or a Christmas gift for someone. 

Mucho love,

NOTD ~ Cartoon Nails

[NOTD - nail of the day]

٩(^‿^)۶

hello everybody!

It's not easy deciding which nail art to try out but I've tried this cartoon effect on my sister so took it upon my self. There are some ways of doing this technique but I'll show one way of doing it.

Nails Inc in Lemon Ice Cream 307, Revlon in Sweet Tart 185, MUA in shade 5, shade 6, shade 9 and Rio Professional Nail Art Pens in Black and White

Paint one thin layer on each fingernail to avoid bubbles

Using the Rio fine brush in black carefully draw an outline of each nail

Switching to the Rio white nail brush draw on the side of the nail making a long exclamation mark (!)

Cartoon nail art done!

Hope you guys have fun trying out this interesting and easy tutorial.

Mucho love,
