Help Me Pick A Bag! x

Okay so this weekend I had a 20% off friends and family voucher for River Island, and as with any offer or vouchers I tend to go a little mad and buy stuff just for the fun of it, so I ended up buying two bags and now I have the dilemma of deciding which one to keep, I have a major obsession with faux fur (would never ever touch real fur) and as soon as I saw this bag I fell in love! it was so so gorgeous I just wanted to cuddle it! (sad I know lol) I originally wanted it in white but as I was deciding which bag to buy a woman picked up the last white one, and they had no more left 
( gutted :( ) so I went for the black. I understand this won't be to everyone's taste but I love it and with 20% of I managed to save £8 and in this day and age you need every penny you can get! If I do decide to keep this I might keep the tags on and wait for the cream to be back in stock as it does look so much nicer. 





PS pictures don't do this bag much justice. 

The next bag I got was this little beauty





(sorry about the dirty mirror *smacks hand*) cami top- river island £10 jeggings- primark £11

Seriously can't decide which one I like best although I'm swaying more towards the faux fur bag but in the cream.

So I'm hoping the blogger community can help me decide!
which bag do you prefer and think I should keep, leave me a comment and the link to your blog so I can check it out!



(sorry about the poor picture quality I'm learning more and more everyday on using my camera any tips on using a Nikon D3100 much welcome and appriciated lol)

Early Beauty Christmas Wishlist

So I'm well aware that Christmas is still more than a month away but there's nothing wrong in preparing our Christmas lists in advance is there lol, I'm sure most of you already have stuff on your mind that you would be more than happy to unwrap on Christmas day so here's my list of beauty goodness what is going to be on mine! 

 
1.) Boots Beauty Advent Calender £30- okay any beauty blogger who tells you they don't want this is lying :P £30 to wake up every morning wondering what beauty product is behind that days door instead of chocolate is a good reason to get out of bed on those cold christmassy mornings and with a total value of over £65 this will make a fun exciting way of doubling your money and as if that's not enough if you buy a full size of any products in the calender you receive triple boots points! I'm Sold!

2.) MAC stroke of midnight brush set mineralise £42- okay I am the worst for make-up brushes the only ones I use are my Real Techniques for my bronzer and blush, and my sleek eyebrow palette brush, so I've always wanted some more mac brushes being the ones that seem to be raved about a lot in the beauty blogging world, and I have only gone as far as an eyebrow brush (I know, I know) , I think its the price that always ends up putting me off and with other makes such as Real Techniques proving there maybe a better option and at a fraction of the price, this however makes it seem more less of a bashing to your purse and a chance to try a selection of brushes that can be used every day.

3.) Mac stroke of midnight nude lips bag £32- My most favourite lip shades are hands down those in the nude family and this little bag looks so cute and right up my street! (not so sure on the price though)

4.) Lush Magic Wand Bubble Bar £4.95- how cute are these baby's  smell just like the snow fairy shower gel (not to keen on the smell of that) but these don't seem to smell so strong and are also reusable so you can get quite a few uses out of them more bang for your buck or should I say bubbles for your buck!

5.) Calvin Klein Euphoria 50ml £47- this I used to always wear years ago and really want to give it a good try again bottle is cute too!

And Last But Not Least...

6.) Mac 35 Lash £10- Another from mac, I am literally the queen of false lashes, I wear them everyday unfortunately I'm so used to thick ones that my eyelashes are now non-existent *sad face* so I'm trying to ween myself into trying thinner more natural lashes, which I've failed many times than I care to think of however I think these beauties may change that, as they still have a amazing full effect and look natural at the same time, I can never find these at mac counters apart from the rihanna collection that came out and sold out (lol) only place I can find them is on line but because of there low price tag I just might have to buy these next pay day, but santa if your looking I wouldn't say no to these at christmas too ;)

This isn't by far my whole Christmas list of beauty goodness but it's definitely the start ;)

Will post more wishlists as time goes on next will be my fashion & gadgets wishlist!

MY FIRST BLOG POST!

   
Hi! my names Sophie I'm 20 years old and live in a little town in Lincolnshire.
My life is by far not the most exciting but it does me fine, I used to have a blog before but admit-tingly it was no good at all and this one will probably be the same, but hey ho its just something for me to do in my spare time and to share bits of what I love inspired by the best beauty and fashion bloggers that are out there, I didn't know if there was much point in starting one but after reading Em Talks and A Pinch Of Shaz blogs I decided that it doesn't matter if I don't think my blog is any good and that it doesn't matter what I blog about its more for me then it is for anyone else so that is what I am going to base my blog on expect to see bits about my life a bit of beauty a bit of fashion, whatever floats my boat and of course my little doggy Milo!
so here's to my attempt at blogging! 
feel free to follow and leave me links to your blog's
