I'm baaaaaack! Holiday Haul :)

Hello my lovelys! I'm back from sunny Tenerife with burnt bits and orange legs, for some reason that's the only place I EVER seem to tan, ah well! I had a GORGEOUS holiday, not gonna lie my absolute favourite part of the hotel was when we arrived and an actual porter came to take out bags from reception. This might seem like a little thing to some of you, but in all the hotels I've ever been in this has only happened once before, and I don't know why I like this cute little touch but it really makes me smile :). Even though I couldn't quite forget completely about England, with BBC1 on our TV I HAD to stay in for the apprentice final one night - and God I'm glad I did, I LOVE TOM! and I had my first experience in an internet cafe trying to order my boudoir prive box, and what an experience that was; in a whole empty cafe, this "slightly odd" bloke decided to sit next to me then snoop on what I was doing fairly shamelessly, good times?! But I did manage to get some sun, make friends with various waiters for a free cocktail and spend a few euros ;) 

Urban Decay Naked Palette;

I've wanted this for SO BLOODY LONG! And when I saw it on the plane magazine thing I knew I had to have it, justifying it by the fact it was about a fiver cheaper than usual with the no tax thing. It's beautiful and completely lives up to the hype and I've used it everyday since I purchased it, and I love it so so much! I love a neutral eye so this has always been the perfect palette for me and ah I could just go on about it for hours and hours but everyone else already has so I'll spare you all the boredom! I know my spending ban was on among other things, neutral eyeshadows, but this.... well it's a little bit special isn't it? Therefore, it doesn't count!

Tangle Teezer;

Time for another rave, this is AMAZING! This has firmly found it's way to my handbag and I'll be carrying it around for the near future, I used it just after I'd got out of the rain and my hair was all frizzy and knotted and within seconds my hair was back to it's best. This is a completely holy grail product for anyone with long hair, especially if like mine, it has a tendency to get knotted easily. Plus it's fab for a bit of backcombing :)

Andrea Fulerton Stunning Nails;

I had to have this little set, I've been wanting to try one of the trios for ages, and I've seen a blog post on this one "petrol in the water" before and  I'm so excited to try it! Plus included is a top coat and what looks like a perfect nude. Add some glitter and a nail file and this was completely needed in my collection.

Miss Dior Cherie;

A repurchase, this is my "signature scent", I'm rubbish at describing scents so I'm not even going to try but if you haven't, give it a try when you're next near a fragrance shop, it's bloody lovely!

Nail Art Pens;

I went in a little souvenir shop, and saw these little beautys on one of the shelves, so I picked a few special colours up to add to my collection, and they were complete bargains at 2 euro each!

Bracelets;

I'm not a bracelet kinda girl, but I couldn't resist having a look at a cute little jewellery shops closing down sale. These three beauts were reduced to 10 euros each, and they'll look gorgeous layered together, I may be converted on the bracelet front yet!

Rings;

From various market stalls and little shops I found these for 3-4 euros each. They're all gorgeous and lovely additions to my already quite generous ring collection, so I might have to start making some new ring storage! If anyone has any ideas....!

Aloe Vera Face And Body Cream;

I thought this would be gorgeous as a night cream, but after reading it it explains itself as a good base for makeup, and it really is! I use it thickly on dry patches at night, and lightly as a base in the morning, and it smells so gorgeous and works so well! I don't even know what I'm gonna do when this runs out because I've completely fallen in love with it :(

Various Magazines;

And ofcourse, some reading material for the beach ;)

And if you don't want to see a load of holiday pictures, skip to the bottom now. From beautiful views, to Jungle and Loro Park, I took enough pictures to fill my whole bloody camera, but I've cut them down for you lucky lot to just the alright ones ;)

Anyway, a lovely woman contacted me whilst I was on holiday, and I have a "recruitment event" thing for this job at a fashion store I applied for. If you guys have any tips or tricks, let me know! And wish me luck, this is the first interview I've been to, so I'm hoping I don't completely mess up!

Hope all you lovely lot had a gorgeous two weeks!

Off To Sunny Tenerife, The Crazy Joys Of Packing...

So I've been busy packing! I've not including EVERYTHING I've packed, I didn't think anyone particuarly cares about what colour vest tops I'm bringing or my selection of pants. But here's a few things I've packed, and jesus christ, it took some very hard decision making to cut down my original "14 of everything" plan.

BOOKS! Much like my movie taste, my book taste is predictable romance with a cheeky bit of comedy slipped in. Always makes for a good read, and I've never been into taking anything too confusing on my holidays.

My make-up bag, travel bag and this little jewellery box I'm bringing earrings and rings in. I don't really wear necklaces and bracelets so I'm not bothering bringing any.

I'm bringing a nice little selection of sun tan lotion. I always use 15 for my face and use 10 and moving onto 6 on my body. I love the banana boat tanning dry oil, because usual tanning oil makes you look so greasy, but this smells gorgeous like coconut and is as it says, a dry oil This year I managed to bag some clear scalp protector, which is a god send because usually my scalp gets burnt and really dry, but this time this should stop that :)

Dresses, Playsuits and Kaftans for on the beach, and of course my most loved maxi. So great for when I inevitably badly burn my legs and need to cover them up for a bit.

Evening Dresses. I love all 4 of these dresses, my absolutely favourites and the two middle dresses will look amazing with a tan!

More dresses I'll be wearing at night, my trusty bodycons are probably a must for every trip I go on, They're beautiful alone, or underneath a baggy top.

Tops I'll be wearing either with bodycons at night, or with shorts in the day :)

I love these tops, again can be worn with bodycons or with shorts, so versatile :)

My favourite bodycon skirts, all will be perfect for at night when it's gone cooler and you want to dress up a bit more. Love them all, and work with every outfit.

I'm definitely on a denim short hype at the moment, These are my favourites, all varying lengths and styles which gives me a bit of selection, and the paperbag shorts on the end are crazy cute!

Assorted patterned shorts courtesy of Matalan ;) These are such a bargain!

I've really limited myself down with shoes this time, because I want to pick up a few while I'm away. These are all comfy!

My lovely primarni belts! I use these all the time, infact they're pretty much the only belts I use, and with being black and brown they go with every outfit! And so small, so they don't take up much room.

HAND LUGGAGE! I'm not taking a lot this year in hand luggage, because I want to pick up all my magazines and a few other bits in duty free and so I'm leaving it fairly empty.

Nintendo DS (hahaha how old is this now? I must of had it 6 years). Not gonna lie, I let out my inner nerd on this and love a bit of sudoku!

Pukka pad ;) For any blog idea/anything I need to note down!

iPod and Blackberry and both their chargers, I can't live without either of these babies. I'll also be bringing my camera and charger, but obviously I can't show that :)

Sunglasses! I usually break about 2 a trip so I've brought three and hopefully I'll come home with atleast one still intact

Two purses, one for English money, one for euros! I get far too confused if I try and keep it all in one place :)

and finally my LUXURY ;) eye mask! I had to pay about 6 quid last year in the airport for this bad boy, and it's the comfiest, loveliest thing for travelling. Despite the fact I'm on a day flight I'm still planning to get my iPod in, this on and let the hours fly by ;)

Now to celebrate I'm....... drinking LIDL Shandy. I know, you can't buy class like mine ;)

Anyway excuse the "not looking very happy" expression, I've been trying to contact this company I've applied for a job with, and completely failing at the moment. Ah well!

So obviously I won't be able to respond to any comments or post etc for the two weeks I'm away, so try not to miss me too much ;) haha, hope you beauts have a lovely fortnight whatever you're doing!
