My Week In Pictures

Howdy :)

Here are some of the things I got up to during the week, I might make this a weekly post but I'm not too sure yet. Unless I'm doing something remotely interesting I don't think I should write about it and bore you guys to sleep.

Enjoy xo 

Saturday & Sunday - I love love love taking pictures when it's
snowing, everything looks 10 times more beautiful than before.

Monday - My Instagram photos arrived. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out, I'll be doing a post once I've decided how I'm going to display these pictures but first I have to go order some more from Printstagram. Firstly this website is SO easy to use which is a bonus so there's no messing around trying to figure out how to upload pictures etc.  I choose the 4 x 4 inch Squares. With this option you get 24 images for $12 (approx  £7.50) well worth it! I also received my images about 5 days after I ordered them.  If you would like to check out their website Click: HERE

Tuesday - I went to the auditions for Britain's got talent. IT WAS BRILLIANT!  Things I learned - Simon Cowell  actually smiles a lot - I know, shocking! Those buzzers are probably the loudest things I have ever heard, I jumped every single time without fail and Pole dancing is actually an art, the girl that auditioned was amazing and it was so beautiful to watch, it definitely changed my perception on pole dancing! I also seen a Boyband who I think we need to all watch out for, I have a feeling they'll go far, we were also asked not to post the acts names, Sorry.

Wednesday - Me and My Bestfriend Alannah had a conversation with each other on twitter using pictures while I was in work and she getting ready to head to work. You can follow me on twitter HERE, I'll follow back :)

Friday - I went for a nice walk and done some boring things that people tend to do when they they are 'adults' like heading to the bank and food shopping (although I do love grocery shopping a lot).

Naked Palette 2 - Half Baked
 Maybelline Gel Eyeliner

Accessories - Click the links for more details

What I'm wearing -
Beige ankle boots are from Primark last Summer/Autumn, so comfy.
My studded leggings I have owned for 3-4 years I think I bought them
in Heatons which as far as I'm aware is an Irish shop.

That has been my week in pictures, if you like this type of post them maybe I'll do them on a week that I think may be eventful and write a post about it.
What did you get up to the past week? Let me know :)

Hi my name is Chloё and I have a shopping problem.

Hola Amigos

Basically the past few days I've been a tad bit bad at convincing my myself that I don't need to buy something just because it's pretty or on sale. I ventured to a lot of different places and bought some things that I probably could have lived without. Some places included Homebase, Ikea, Boots & Republic.

I walk past Homebase when I walk home from work and I noticed they had a 50% sale so of course I had to go check it out. The top picture I made myself. I got the picture in the middle from homebase for half price at £8.99 and also the love heart metal sign which has 'Love' written in lots of different languages, also half price, not 100% sure but I think it was £6.99 :) I also picked up a few more things from there but nothing super interesting like a touch lamp and a cup.

  

I ventured to Topshop, I do apologise for the bad quality of the picture above I just could not get a decent photo of the dress. I use to wear dresses constantly last year and the year before but then just went out of that phase, i'm slowly coming back into it and I found this lovely deep purple sleeveless skater dress (£20.00) today and fell in love, I think that pairing this dress with black tights and brown ankle boots would be lovely but i'm not too sure if a belt should be added, help? 

An example of the 'things I could have lived without' would have been this. I thought it would be a super idea to head to Ikea yesterday, my only reason for going was to pick up some vanilla candles and for something to eat.. I have a bit of an obsession with their mac & cheese! Buuut I ended up coming out with some other things also. One of those being the bed side dresser above, it was on sale for £20.00 and I felt like this beautiful piece of furniture needed to be in my life, might I add that I had to get this (in a big box) and other items I bought back on 3 buses on my own. I also picked up some storage boxes and a duvet set.

Next up was Boots, not even kidding guys if I could I would live in Boots very happily. 

I was running out of my Aussie products so had to repurchase the 'Luscious long' shampoo but instead of my usual conditioner this time I decided to buy the three minute miracle conditioner frizz remedy because my hair has been feeling a bit naughty lately and likes to have it's own mind and make me look like I've been in gale force winds or electrocuted.. either way it ain't a good look for me, and considering it's 3 for £10 I also picked up the Anti frizz hair serum which I have never tried before so we'll see how I get on with that :)

Maybelline falsies mascara (£6.99), yes I am pretty aware I'm quite late jumping onto this bandwaggon but hey better late than never, I guess I just never tried this mascara (even with everyone raving about it) because I use to be obsessed with  the brand Essence, I think it's an Irish brand but I think because I was mostly glued to their products I felt I didn't need to try out many others, I'm quite looking forward to giving this mascara a go considering all the reviews I've seen of this product. 

I went a bit accessory mad today in Republic but I couldn't help myself it was all half price, The top picture (please excuse my nail polish) is a beautiful gold stud half finger ring for £3.
The three rings all came together, silver, black & rose gold also reduced to £3.
Now i'm not really a wearer of earrings and I could honestly not tell you the last time I wore a pair but I just thought these were too pretty to pass by, One set was marked at £2.50 and the other at £3 I just don't remember which ones..Sorry :/

Aaaaaand there we have it.. a bit of insight into the addiction that I, Chloё seem to have.. I'm pretty sure my bank account does not appreciate it.. Does anyone else have this problem? Let me know?

My 2012 Favourite's

I thought seeing as now it's the beginning of 2013 I would do a post about my 2012 favourite's  from beauty, hair, & some other bits and bobs. 

These are some of the things that have been my bestfriends throughout the year.. I like 'em a lot a lot a lot. . a lot.

Soap and glory is one of my favourite brands and this body wash was everything i expected it would be, it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and smelling amazing. CLICK: HERE

I don't think there has been an  Aussie product I've ever  used and disliked but these three  pictured above would have to be the ones I enjoy using the most and also my hair seems to like it very much also. Happy hair makes Chloë happy.

Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder  in 001 Transparent has definitely been a life saver on many occasions, I don't tend to have really oily skin but when I do it tends to happen around my nose and also my chin, so I definitely recommend this to anyone that has a tad bit of oily skin, it keeps it at bay some what.
Rimmel match perfection in 001 Light  this blush for me seemed to have all of my attention during the year.

Some of my favourite jewellery and Hair pieces

Garnier BB Cream - Light
Rimmel match perfection - 010 Procelain light

I've been really into red lipstick/tints recently

ELF Cheerful Cherry - To buy Click: HERE

Rimmel Kate Moss - 107

Maybelline Super stay tint gloss - 120 Berry Heavenly

OH MY DAYS. This has always been and probably always will  be my favourite soap & Glory product. If you are yet to have the experience of using this then you are definitely missing out. It smells amazing (just like all soap & glory products) but i'm not even kidding it leaves your skin so silky smooth and fresh, I can't say enough about this.

I get all of my Soap & Glory products from Boots, mainly because the majority of the time they will have a '3 for 2' offer on. You can also check it out: HERE

I am a lover of Garnier anything (mostly) but this '24hr spot fighting moisturiser' has really helped my skin improve, as a person that suffers  with acne every so often I can honestly say that this cream has helped wonders. Big thumbs up from me.

And last but most certainly not least,

Bio Oil  I'm not sure how but I only discovered this in 2012 but my golly gosh am I glad I did. So far it has helped a HEAP with the uneven skin tone around my nose and chin, the scaring from where I use to have my lip pierced has faded so much and all in all I feel like my skin is a lot more healthy looking since using it. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or Oily (as you would probably think it would). Thank you Bio Oil.

So there we have it, the things I  loved to use in 2012

and still love to use.

What were some of the things you loved the past year? Let me know :)
