Primark S/S13 New Season Picks

Coolcatjumper14instore19.2.13

Hi everyone Just a bit of window shopping this morning as Instyle has got pics of a few items that are out this month at Primark and I quite fancy a few of them. Let’s have a look…   “Cool cat jumper” out on Wednesday is definitely the pick of them all. Roll on payday! I love an epic maxi skirt when I can get one. I’m hoping to wear a lot of this kind of outfit this year. I think the studs on this sweater are star shaped. I love the colour and the stitch pattern of this knit. I hope it’s not made of bobbly cheap yarn but I bet it is. I’ll definitely check it out in store though. This blouse is kind of nuts but it’s exactly the kind of mad cat lady gear I wear at home on my own… I picked this because it’s…

Poundland Pick: Sally Hansen Real Nail Polish Strips

November 15, 2012

sticky nails 024

I picked up four of these fascinating little kits in Poundland last week. Each contains 16 strips of stick-on nail varnish, a nail buffer/file a cuticle stick and a set of clear instructions how to use them. I bought this geometric black and white set and the three below: Super value for a pound each! Do check the packets if you pick up some of these though. My black glittery nail polish strips had half of the strips missing, each pack has two sealed trays of 8 strips each, except that one, which has only one! Grr! 8 strips isn’t enough to do two hands. These graphic designs do look like false nails or stickers, because obviously, this detail of nail-art is difficult with real liquid polish. The other strips I’ve tried look a lot more like nail polish and the chief benefit of them is that they need no…

Primark Latest Collection Picks

I was just browsing on the InStyle website and I spotted the latest Primark collection. I know people have mixed feelings about the store but I’m impressed with these pieces for their trendiness, cuteness and great prices (check the InStyle page for prices and dates on these). My favourites are as follows…   Leather/Pleather and faux fur look sooo right at the moment. I must admit to really fancying one of these jackets with the furry collars. Christmas patterns have probably never been so wearable since…the eighties? The seventies? The.. never? This Robin Snood is just £4 and I just love it because it’s an under-the-radar Christmas pattern, it could be just an abstract… it could be some kind of hipster bird like a swallow, but no, it’s a ROBIN a big fat Christmas-assed Robin! Brill skills. Moustache jumper? Hehehe. This dress is all kinds of beautiful. I don’t know…

What Would Bee Buy: Poundland Picks This Week

poundland picks 024

Poundland have some nice cosmetics this week and I didn’t think you’d just want me to tell you about it so I had to buy them so I could show you, yes? Any excuse! There are a couple of different eyeshadow quads from Vita Liberata “Me But Better”. I can’t find out anything about this range online, but they’re pretty colours and nice formulas, excellent for £1 each. I love the colours in this blue/green quad. I couldn’t resist trying out the pinky/mauve one already. The applicator has a brush and a sponge and it seems to be of a nice quality. Do you know anything about this range? I’m wondering if Poundland will have any more of these products – I’ll be looking out for them. Poundland have Revlon nail polishes again. I chose this one – “Princess” which is a pale blue with a very similar formula to “Gold Coin” .…

Accessory of the Now: Primark Embellished Scarves

September 5, 2012

accessories 017

I fell in love when I saw these scarves in Primark on Friday for just £4 each! I’ve wanted an embellished scarf for ages. They’re long, soft cotton jersey scarves with beads and a pendant strung on the centre, so they hang like a lovely soft, heavy necklace. They’re really comfortable to wear and, although the metal is nothing special, because they’re designed to sit outside your clothes rather than on your skin, you don’t get that green/itchy skin thing like with cheap big necklaces. I love the way embellished scarves dress us a simple T-shirt or tank top and I’m delighted by how affordable these are. I bought both (total: £8) because I like them both and I’m not sure if I want to wear a giant gothic cross everywhere! I might replace it with a different charm or a gem stone or glass bead. I also quite like…

Hey guys! I went for a little pay-day nosey around Boots on Friday and there were so many excellent free gifts with purchase available I couldn’t decide which to buy – heh – ended up not buying anything but I thought you guys might like to know about them L’Oreal have one of their excellent selection boxes free when you spend £15 on L’Oreal at Boots. I love these – I use products from the Christmas one most days! I will probably end up picking this up in store as I fancy trying the nail stencils and superliner, and there are a few L’Oreal products I’ve been hankering after for a while. This Boots 17 offer has been in store for a few weeks but it’s very tempting. Free Get Bronzed kit when you spend £5.99 on any Boots 17 products. It’s presented alongside a price reduction on the Boots…

MUA Offer!

OFFER

Hey guys, I’ve just seen this on the MUA site, they have £1 off two of their best palettes (making them £3 each!) and their gel eyeliner and Every Lash mascara (making them just £2 each) until 28th August. I’m very tempted to cave and purchase the Undressed palette, which is  a shade-for-shade dupe of the Urban Decay Naked palette. I’ve liked the look of Naked and Naked2 but I prefer to spend money on brighter colours and the UD Nakeds seem expensive to me for subtle shades, just £3 for incredibly similar shades is an amazing deal though! Gel eyeliners are excellent products, part way between a pencil and a liquid liner. At £2 each, if you’ve been wanting to try one, this is a brilliant price. This post isn’t sponsored or affiliated, I just like MUA and wanted to give you the heads up! Do you own any…

Doctors Note: Bee Loves Birthdays in Bed?

Hey beauty fans! So sorry for the silence around these parts. I really have been quite ill this week and now have been prescribed antibiotics and told to rest! Don’t you just hate that? I’ve got loads of interesting beauty stuff to bring you but I’m having trouble managing much more than watching (and loving!) the Olympics right now. It’s my 32nd birthday today! To celebrate this Beloved Boyfriend took me out shopping on Saturday and he bought me two of the lovely products from my Most Wanted list!   MAC Transparent Finishing Powder I’ve been lusting after this product for ages as it seems such a great idea, a product that sets the foundation without adding a layer of pigment of its own. It’s really invisible in use, the MAC lady showed us. I think my charming benefactor was a bit bemused to pay £19.50 for something so demonstrably…

It’s suddenly Summer! Instantly my Winter-in-July current wardrobe seems ridiculous! I’ve had a look at the summer sales online and found some of my favourites that I thought you guys might like too. Let me know what you think of these   I LOVE a bright coloured canvas foot in this weather. It’s so comfortable and summery and bright. These Rocket Dog Angie pumps are reduced from £32.99 to £20 and may just be sneaking into my shopping basket this week… These Orient heels are JULY all over! They’re so cute and stripey and hehe a little trashy and just work in the hot. Pity I couldn’t walk in them to save my life! They’re reduced from £44.99 to £30 in the sale. BHS is a great place to go sale shopping as they have such a mix of brands in their big stores. My favourite dress in their sale is this one: The Sodamix…

Hi guys! It’s been such a long week. I’m really looking forward to having a glass of wine and putting my feet up. Town is absolutely crowded with tourists not enjoying the rain (I don’t blame them) so I’ve taken refuge on the internet this afternoon instead of hitting the shops. This week House of Fraser have 10% off beauty purchases when you shop online so it’s a good time to pick up a big ticket purchase like a premium foundation, if you were thinking of getting one the offer goes until Wednesday 25th.   I’ve picked out my five favourite premium foundations as a little summary of the reviews of them I’ve posted… 1. Clarins Everlasting Foundation Clarins Everlasting Foundation is my absolute favourite full coverage, long lasting foundation. I have dry combination skin but this covers and lasts amazingly without drying or irritating and looks great. Above is the Clarins Everlasting…
