(✿♥‿♥) BIG SALE RIVER ISLAND 030712 (♥‿♥✿)

I just love it when River Island has a sale on although this time if you're able to get there before 8am to your nearest branch for this extra 50% off extra on top of the sale! Sadly being a lazy person I can't bring myself to wake up that early to go screaming halfway across town just for a massive bargain because that's just embarrassing! ⊙﹏⊙

Starting with the big stuff:

Pink ditsy print lace skater dress (was £35 now £20). I need to buy/come up with two different dresses to wear for my cousins' wedding. TWO...3 three apart. This dress would be perfect to wear early October or late...

White vest top with black bow (was £20 now £10) and blue vest top with lace tie (was £20 £10)

Stripey blue white vest, nice and slouchy and suitable to wear with bandeau (was £10 now £5). Plain white vest for relaxing at home (was £5.99 now £2).

I just love my vest tops ◕‿◕. Next up the smaller stuff (°⌣°):

House of Holland Mesh Super Suspender (was £12 now £4) and Pretty Polly Squiggly (was £10 now £4). Truth be told I wouldn't buy these from River Island due to the price of them originally but £4...who couldn't resist (•‿•).

Rubber rings, nice accessories soon to adorn my fat fingers for the summer (£2 now £1) not bad eh eh.

Been hunting all of my heels around the house and I feel that my summer wedges might just go well with the dress I bought. Although the weddings aren't til October so I guess I'm going for a late summer/autumn feel.

(✿◕‿◕) Lunch + mini haul 260612 (◕‿◕✿)

Went to Sorabol with mum and sis again but this time also with my sister's friend Denise, who like me is into the Korean cuisine as well :D. This time I decided to go with dolsat bibimbap- rice with vegetables and raw egg on top inside a stone bowl to mix around to cook the ingredients together...very very DELICIOUS!!!

I accidently poked the yolk before Denise mentioned taking a picture of my dish...opps ●﹏●. From looking nice and neat...

to this! Messy...yes that's the whole point!! Plus the spicy red sauce they provided...just the cherry on top for me.

Onto the small haul, mum wanted to get hand sanitizers for the car when we're on the go and sis wanted more nail polishes for our collection...if she knows which shade of colours we already own. The 2true brand had an offer going on (3 for £4.99) so took advantage of that, saving us 98p. Been meaning to try out the Cheek 'n' Lip Tint:

L-R: 2true shade No.48 (£1.99), 2true shade No.47 (£1.99) and 2true Cheek 'n' Lip Tint - Rose tinted stain for lips and cheeks (£1.99). All from Superdrug

Read reviews about 2true cheek lip tint being a dupe of Benetint and Posietint. I just hope this one doesn't leave me with bloody fingers.

(｡◕‿◕｡)BIG SHOPPING HAUL!!! (｡◕‿◕｡)

In no specific order of my haul for today

A few days ago Boots post came through and yes it's that time of year...SUMMER POINTS EVENT. Basically gain £7.50 worth of Boots points for every £30 you spend. Being me I don't want to spend over a certain amount each week (or so I try) so complied a list of products I know my sister and I need during the summer.

L-R: Dr Jart + BB cream SPF 15 50ml (£18), Vo5 Heat Protect Styling Spray 200ml (£3.69) (OFFER- 2 for £5), Barry M Magnetic Nail Polish in BLUE (£4.99) and Barry M Nail Polish in 150 Red Glitter (£2.99).

Next up is Topman:

I know I said Topman and I mean it! For months I've been trying to find the perfect denim shirt for myself from the women's section but they seem to have this particular style I just don't find appealing to me. So stumbling upon the SALE in Topman I thought about skimming through the tops and voila saw denim and pulled it out of the rail. It was the PERFECT top I've been looking for (in this case DIY studded collar).

Topman denim shirt (was £30 now £15)

 Last part of the haul for today River Island:

Saw a post by River Island and a review on the latest shoe trend, hidden wedges disguised as high tops! I think this is just so comfy for when I want to wear heels out but at the same time still look casaul + I get to look taller than some people :P -coughs-.

Black Hidden Heel High Tops £40.

Sadly with this rubbish weather we're having I definitely don't want to dirty these babies so soon.

(◕︵◕) Sorry for the late post as well! (◕︵◕)

(✿◕‿◕) Mini shopping haul 150612 (◕‿◕✿)

A late post sorry ●︿●

Another mini haul but this time from Sainsburys. Been looking at reviews of Bio-Oil and manage to get it for £15.99 compared to Boots and Superdrug £19.99. This is for 200ml and Boots currently has their 200ml on offer 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' however this only applies online to my disappointment. Would have been so worth it getting 400ml for £19.99 -sighs- (◔̯◔).

The Batiste range was 1/3 off the original price: Batiste Dry Shampoo Coconut and Exotic Tropical 400ml £3.32 was £4.99 and  Batiste Dry Shampoo Fruity and Cheeky Cherry 200ml £1.99 was £2.99. To be honest there's been a lot of mixed reviews about dry shampoo particular this brand but I suppose it's how you use it.

Clear bottle with information on the back. For 200ml I guess it will go a long way.

Since this purchase I have used the Batiste Coconut Dry Shampoo and I have to admit it really does its job so BIG THUMBS UP BABEH!!! When I previously used Lee Stafford 'Poker Straight for Oily Roots' Dry Shampoo (quick research-I think they've changed around a few words so now it's Lee Stafford Original Dry Shampoo'), I probably did everything that was wrong when using dry shampoo. It was just after I had my fringe freshly done after many years of avoiding hair touching my oily face. Thought I'd gear myself up before my forehead rages at me (I've been battling acne since early teens...and I'm 22 now...-weeps-).

It was difficult for me to avoid big white patches due to spritzing a bit too near but now I just lightly spray around the "gweasy" roots and softly rub the shampoo into my scalp. Smells nice yet sis makes out that I'm suffocating her from the next room. Good thing we have small wall mirrors around the house so I'm not having hold any mirrors or strictly inside the bathroom to put on my makeup or style my hair with sufficient lighting etc.

Bio-Oil: still to rate
Batiste Dry Shampoos: 7/10 (swear it kinda fogs up my vision or it's just me being careless).

"감사합니다" (Thank you in Korean)

New Malden today with mum and sis!! :D Very excited because it would be my mum's first time dining in an authentic Korean restaurant even though we do from time to time cook Korean cuisine at home (aside the fact that my dad and sis aren't so keen on the powerful flavour of our home-made kimchi bwhaha). I just happen to be yapping about the amount of Korean restaurants there were in New Malden as opposed to London and it was decided yesterday.

Making our way to New Malden...we ALWAYS and no joke...get lost. My mum and I would try to be all clever to "remember" the roads we'd come across in the past. You can probably guess...we got lost yet again. This has happened for the third time this year! Alone! Oh how we never learn xD. Many roads later and "oh this is on the way to...", found the perfect car park and scuttled our way to Sorabol ^^. (Research: formally known as Asadal before it changed to this one).

The restaurant itself on the outside (sorry forgot to take pic >"<) is not big and there was probably around 8 tables seating at least 4 people and where it's located is just off a roundabout on High Street, New Malden.

The layout for the shared appetiser ●‿●

Drinks: all chose green tea (£1.50-big pot to share)

Appetisers: Mixed jeon platter (£8-healthy ♥)

Mains: I went for Kimchi Chige (£ 6.50) whereas sis had beef bulgogi bento and my mum went for teriyaki rice dish.

Before they end the lunchtime slot at 3pm, we managed to get there say an hour beforehand and I have to admit this has filled me up so much now past midnight starting to feel quite hungry (◕︵◕). As we were the last people to leave, I thought it would be better to show our appreciation for the food so reminding myself how to say thank you politely to the lady, did a quick research on my phone in case I say the wrong thing and yeah...as she cleared up our drinks I politely thanked her for the meal "kam-sah-am-nida" and she said "wow! :D kam-sah-am-nida". Yay I said the right thing and impressed her as well hehe (°⌣°).

So yeah to finish off I would STRONGLY recommend dining at Sorabol in New Malden. Also have to admit it taste authentic to me as opposed to the London branches I've dined at. Happy eating!!

#1 Fashion Treasure

Typical rainy day in the UK for the past few weeks and finally out of uni so shopping in Greenwich with mum and sis. Just wondering around Greenwich Shopping Park where my favourites stores: H&M, River Island, Topshop and Boots were. As I do it would normally be me browsing store by store and I was really hoping to find the Seamless Doctors Bag from Topshop but sadly I was too late.

The top has a nice gradient effect with plenty of studs around both shoulders

My mum's scared of the spikes but she was the one who didn't mind the idea of having studs on my shirt collar (when I eventually find a good shirt to destroy...I mean to decorate).

It's comfy and it's one of those oversized tops which I forgot to mention at the beginning. Just slugs off my shoulders nicely and yes I do have broad shoulders...and they're chubby on the downside when it comes to trying on tight-fitted clothing -sighs-.

(✿◕‿◕) Mini shopping haul 090612 (◕‿◕✿)

Finally found the time to get the Maybelline's Gel Liner in brown, along with the 3 for 2 Maybelline deal at Boots so I decided to treat myself to not one but two Color Sensational Popsticks in the shades 010 Pink Sugar and 030 Pink Lollipop.

Yes I have read many reviews about these and mostly...well..negative (╥﹏╥). I assumed with the translucent, sheer effect it wouldn't leave any colour but a shiny layer on my hand. This did put me off buying one at first but I'm one of those people who would contemplate a few weeks later before making the final decision.

The shades ♥(Pudding app)

I get a bit squeamish when it comes to the testers and it was only when I got back home that they smell absolutely fruity and gorgeous. Very summery as opposed to the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter I bought a few week back from now (better do a review as I speak ^.^").

So yeah can't wait to try these and see how they look on my lips (might do a review on that as well on a sunny day :3).
