Ebay Craze

This week I have been loving Ebay.

It's great for finding really unusual clothes and at good prices, as you can suggest a price yourself and compete with someone else for the goods :)

Whilst browsing Ebay I came across this particular top and two dresses that I liked...

You can also shop by different categories; for example, shops and brands, this is great as it's very helpful.

Make-up On A Budget

As a student, I find make-up sooo expensive to buy, especially as I use it up so quickly. All my make-up seems to run out at the same time, so it seems like i'm forking out loads of money at once.

Few helpful tips:
(1) Vaseline can be used for lipgloss, mascara and on your cheekbones :) not too much though obviously else you'll get a greasy face ha.. but putting abit on your cheekbones on top of your blushers an idea.

(2) Greasy hair? and don't want to wash it every day (as it does take the vitamins out- my hairs dry and dead enough as it is)

Why not try talcum powder, talcum powder is also a lot cheaper than buying dry shampoo. Just not too much else your hair will go grey- works better with blondes.

(3) My main essential is bronzer.

I always by Rimmel Sun Glow bronzer (£4.88) and wear it on top of my liquid foundation as it keeps you looking tanned. Got to be careful with bronzers though as I have bought cheap bronzers in the past, which have been very glittery- not a good look in the day.

(4) I do love Rimmel.. I find the products are good quality and not a bad price. I have Rimmel's black extra super lash mascara and black pencil eyeliner.

Black extra super lash mascara is £4.59...Black pencil eyeliner can be bought at £2.93...

I love Rimmel's sunshimmer instant tan £4.88...

(5) I recently bought some bright pink star gazer eyeshadow from New Look. I can also use this eyeshadow for blusher. I always try and buy eyeshadow or blusher that can work as both.

Bikky :)

Today I went shopping (again) haha with my Mum and realllly wanted a new bikini for my holiday in June :) I'm soooo fussy with bikinis and looked in all the usual shops.. River Island, Topshop, Primark, Miss Selfridge, H&M. But none of them got my attention and if they did, they didn't fit right or were way to expensive. I did see a bright pink one in La Senza but just the top half was£25 so I didn't even bother looking at the bottom half!

And eventually, by fate, after having lunch in Marks & Spencers.. I came across the bikini aisle :) I would usually associate M&S with 'middle-aged/oldies' clothes but I found myself a very very bright pink bikini, obviously quite expensive as it is M&S. Wouldn't have been able to pay for it off my student budget BUT my mum was awfully generous and paid for it- £24 :)

Primark Buys :)

You're probably thinking i'm a student.. why am I posting so many blogs about new buys haha! But the truth is, these last couple of weeks have been Easter so I have been spolit :) And also, you can buy lots in Primark without spending much at all.

Necessities which myself and other students can't afford/don't want to buy, haha, such as underwear, socks and tights.. perfect just to get from Primark.

I bought the bag for £5- great to take on holiday on the plane i'm thinking :)

I found this dress below for £5 from £11- i'm going to staple abit of the sides together as it's abit poofy at the bottom and team it up with a belt, heels and necklace.

This blue top was £8 and the red little t-shirt £1.50 as t-shirts are always handy to have. My mum's always kind when it comes to buying me casual useful clothes, other than the usual going out tops and dresses I like to buy.

Last but not least, my Mother treated me to some pyjamas.. the reason being I iterally don't own any!haha. Not bad set for only £5.70
