I've been meaning to post this all week and kept forgetting to photograph things and have actually just ended up using this instagram picture.
I was so excited to go to primark, its one of those things I crave when i'm on holiday, I really wanted to pick up that white/cream blouse with the bow that I actually hated when I saw it in store and the black loafers but they didn't have them. So instead I got this cute bag with the studs it was £9 and it's really nice and big, will fit A4 folders in for those of you at school or college, Its perfect. I got some black skinny jeans from Primark £11, I like primark jeans because they actually fit me nice- I have to get short leg though because i'm a shorty. And the black peplum £4 from primark ! I saw that primark were doing peplums and for this reason I didn't buy one - how could i spend like £16 in topshop when they are in primark, so I saw the peplums and they had white or burghundy, and i'm like oh!! I wanted black and then a man who worked there came over and i saw it THE BLACK PEPLUM in his hand it was the only one and MY SIZE so i got it ;)
I also picked up some shiny disco pant style leggings from forever 21 for £10.50 BARGAIN! They are such good quality as well :)
I also got the YSL false lash mascara - in black ;) I needed a new mascara! kinda scary that what I spent in primark I spent on a mascara but YSL mascaras are the best

MAC studio fix foundation rrp £20.50 (shade nw25)
I don't use many mac products but when I was at the airport I decided to treat myself to this and prep and prime. The pair came to just under £34 since you get about 20% off in duty free.
I love Mac packaging because its just so simplistic and matte. The product itself is a really nice light powder that applies to the skin and it covers all the shine and impurities. I've been using a retractable kabuki brush to apply it but I really want to buy a new brush to apply it any recommendations?
This allows the product to apply a really light base but it covers the skin really nice and allows you to build up the product on your skin. I have a pale face compared to the rest of my body but the lady matched me nw25 which I was abit worried as it was quite dark, but then it really matches my tan. I have quite a yellow complexion too.
I used this on holiday and it did last really well. On the nights it would stay flawless for the whole night. I really want to buy fix+ too so hopefully this will make it last even longer. I've used it since i've been home too and i'm still really impressed with how long it stays on the face.
I don't really wear liquid foundation because I have oily skin and when I spoke to the woman at Mac she told me to use this product and I really do recommend it. I think its lovely and its really nice on my skin. Previously i've used mouses but this is just so light and doesn't sit on the skin, it kind of blends in and feels like your not even wearing make up.
I will be reviewing prep and prime too. If you have any questions about this product or can recommend a good brush to use with this product just comment below.
Sunday Update
9 September 2012
001. Day of shopping today with momma, and visited my nan :) Have had a nice day, just been tidying my room and putting my holiday clothes away. It's really bad that my wardrobes full to the brim and I still have some clothes at dans.
002. I'm not back at university till October 1st so i'm hoping to just chill out until then
003. Brought bared to you, its meant to be like 50 shades of grey ill let you know what I think. I read 50 shades on my holiday, realised I was abit late to the bandwagon but seriousluy everyone was reading it! I finished it in the first week so read Drive which is an amazing film with Ryan Gosling in, I enjoy the film more than the book. I enjoyed 50 shades, might do a book review on it what you guys think ?

Really love wearing white on holiday, especially when I have a tan. I loved the beach it was really close to our hotel. The room with the orange chairs was where our entertainment was on the night. The entertainment wasn't too bad! If anyone wants to visit Lanzarote feel free to ask me any questions.
Went shopping today, will post a small haul later in the week. Got a few bits from Primark, spent wayyyy too much money!
Back to work next weekend so planning on having a chill out week :)
DIY; Make your own studded collar
2 September 2012
What you need: Scissors, A unwanted shirt with a collar and studs.
1. Cut off the collar from your shirt. If using a chiffon shirt like mine be careful not to make the material fray by cutting under the stitching.
2. You now have your collar.
3. Pierce your studs through the material, use a coin to press down the backs on the studs, this way your fingers dont hurt!
4. Ta Dahh your collar is complete, add as many studs as you like!
5. Add it to simple dresses jumpers to make them stand out more. I think collar accessories will defiantly be in autumn/winter :)
