Beauty Maxx

    I took a little trip into TK Maxx today, which in itself is a rare occurrence, and found some absolute bargains! First of all, they're selling the Ciaté caviar gift sets in a few different shades for just £9.99, I couldn't have been more excited, especially when I found one that had been reduced to £7.00 because of slight damage to the box - RESULT!

    I actually cheated on a birthday present with this and added the bottle of caviar beads to a friends birthday gift bag along with a load of other beauty bits, keeping the nail paint for myself (how selfish!) and considering they're usually £9 per bottle I'm not overly impressed with the finish.
It's nice, sure, and I love the colour but it isn't particularly thick so needs a good three coats to stop it looking patchy.

    The colour looks more of a paler green here which I actually prefer, but in reality has more of a blue hue to it.

    I don't know whether it's due to the approaching holiday, but for a small store they had so many beauty products, the shelves were literally rammed and there were so many things I wanted to purchase - BedHead hair products being among them, but I was restrained and just bought one moisturiser. It's 'Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow' by a brand called laidbare and aims to reduce hair growth and skin irritation that can following shaving or waxing.

     I have no idea whether these things actually work but it was only £3.99 so I thought I'd give it a go. Bonus if it works and something to blog about whatever the outcome.

Right As Rain

November Wishlist by casey-byrne featuring a chiffon sleeve dress

 

Almost two weeks into November, I'm very late with the wish list again this month!

We're definitely well and truly into Winter now and all these blustery, rainy days have got me hankering after a new coat. I already own a Topshop parka but it's a good few years old now and is looking really ropey so this would be a welcomed update. And if I'm getting a new coat, I may as well pick up a matching hat scarf and mitten set while I'm there!

The tartan number (I'm obsessed, I know!) is to feature in a post coming soon; this version is from Primark as I like to keep things accessible and never one to pass up a bargain. 

I've wanted a Daniel Wellington watch for about a year now I just find watches such an expensive accessory... The Mary-Jane shoes are currently sitting in my Topshop basket waiting to be paid for. I will have the cutest feet this season!

Catch of the Day

    I'm so excited about this post!

    I've done so well at not throwing money at clothing companies over the last few months so now, when I buy something, its a lot more exciting! It's also more thought out so I'm not buying things I will banish to the back of the wardrobe after wearing once.

October Wishlist by casey-byrne featuring a skeleton dress

 

I've been so busy with work over the last few weeks that I almost completely missed the October wish list! My time management has taken a right beating since the start of term and I've wholeheartedly adopted 'Better late than never' as my daily mantra! I'm the worst employee...

So the wish list is looking rather dark this month but with Halloween just around the corner I think it's an acceptable route to take. The Topshop contrast collar dress is so Wednesday Addams and both that and the Motel tea dress have got my clothes fund crying out to be spent. Luckily, I got a bit of a pay rise this month so I may have to give in with the excuse that I'm dressing up as Wednesday for Halloween.
The watch is an absolute beaut! It's from a company called WeWood who craft watches entirely of wood remnants which makes the watches kinder to skin as there aren't as many toxins to irritate your wrist. They stock a variety of styles and colours/types of wood and WeWood plant a tree for every watch sold. I'm always keen to get on board with a good cause so I'm putting this on my Christmas list (AH the dreaded C-word!) and most likely going to buy one as a gift too.

    I've started so many outfit/haul posts recently and haven't been able to post them due to my irrational fear of cameras but I've just bought some items that I need to share with you so will dust of the canon and post something up soon, promise!
