Recent Primark Haul

Image
Hello! I am here with another Primark haul! This stuff was all from a shopping trip a few weeks ago. I bought some LED lights for my bedroom and potentially to string up as part of a background for future YouTube videos. I bought this tinned, 3-wick candle to use in my bedroom. It smells lovely and the purple tin matches the colour scheme of my room. I will be able to use the tin after the candle has burned out to store various small bits and pieces. I have wanted a collapsible hula hoop for a while, so when I saw this in Primark, reduced to £2 I couldn't resist. I'm looking forward to using this soon. I wasn't looking for new makeup brushes, but these ones were next to the tills when I went to pay and for only £1, I couldn't really say no. This nail varnish twist pot is very useful and easy to use. It removes nail varnish pretty quickly and is less messy than tipping it from a bottle onto cotton wool. I decided to try these makeup sponges as I...

Colette Sorbetto Top

I have seen many versions of this top floating around various blogs and Pinterest, so I figured that it was about time that I gave it a go myself.  

Books for £1!

I have never thought to look at the books in Poundland before, as I always just assumed that there would be nothing interesting there, however when I had a little time to spare in town a couple of weeks ago, I went and had a bit of a look to pass the time.

Christmas Book Haul

This post is a bit late and for that I must apologise! I want to share with you the selection of books that I got for Christmas, along with a sneaky little gift to myself that I picked up a few days ago. I received a range of different kinds of books, all of which suit me rather well. Just goes to show how well my family all know me!

My Booktober Fail and a Win!

This post is massively overdue and for that I apologise. Booktober did not go as well as I had hoped. I only managed to get through two of the four books that I had planned to read as I was filling my time with all sorts of random things rather than sitting down with a good book.

So it is officially Booktober! I am going to join the lovely Miss Carrie Hope Fletcher in reading one book each week for the duration of October.

Complete Cosplay

This post is rather late as I have been having laptop troubles and was hoping to write it when that was sorted, but I am no closer to that than I was a fefew weeks ago and I didn't want to leave this any longer. I finished my Captain America USO Girl costume for Sheffield Film and Comic Con at the end of August! I got lots of compliments on my costume throughout the day and I really enjoyed wearing it. Halter neck is still not a favourite of mine as I do end up with a sore neck by the end of the day, but the dress itself was comfortable and easy to wear. The cosplay masquerade was a lot of fun and it was great to see so many fantastic costumes on display. I have already started planning my next cosplay (probably Kaylee from Firefly) and I have a long list of other possibilities for future cosplays. Can't wait to get started on the next one!
