What I bought whilst in London

So, this holiday, I was very good and bought a lot less than I would normally do. However, I did pick up a few little treats on my travels:

1. IPhone Cover
Front of Cover
Inside

I took my boyfriend to Camden Market for the first time. I wasn't too sure if he was going to like it-I think it's one of those places that you either love or you hate. I for one love it and thankfully he did too :) If you have never been before, I would definitely check it out and form your own opinion. You can get some amazing bargains and even do some bartering-exciting! At one of the inside parts-it's huge btw-I found a stall selling lots of these little leather phone cases in lots of different designs. I settled on this 'Banksy' inspired one. It has a cute wee clip and little card pockets. I love it. The only downside is my phone sometimes falls out the wee plastic casing part-oh oh. You can also find them online at www.alittlepresent.co.uk

2. Oyster Card Holder

As I started to get used to travelling around London like a little expert with my Oyster card-I did have many a problem-swiping instead of holding, getting my jacket in the way, the list goes on...), I decided to invest in an Oyster Card holder and found this little beauty on sale in Paperchase, reduced to £4. I love it. Unfortunately it is made of felt, and the reader doesn't pick up the card through it so you have to open it up, but the little closure is very easy to use even using just one hand. You may be wondering why I bought an Oyster card holder when I only use the card once in a blue moon-well it has two sides which means it is the perfect place to also keep my 16-25 railcard. (P.S. This is an amazing investment if you are in this age bracket-I have definitely got my money's worth) You can find this and other Oyster card holders at http://www.paperchase.co.uk/page/home/

3. Apocalips Lip Lacquer

Whilst trying to waste time at Victoria Train Station before heading across to the coach station, I jumped into boots to look at make-up, as you do. I had heard a lot of talk about these Rimmel Lip Lacquers and decided to try it out for myself. I got it in the colour 'Big Bang'-a lovely bright red. I wore it today over 'Ladybug' lipstick by Mac (although I probably could have worn it alone as it has amazing colour pay off) and my first impression is that it lasted fairly well and I love the colour as it is slightly blue toned, making my teeth look whiter. Yay!

4.  CHOCOLATE.

I am addicted to this chocolate and it was on offer at WHSmith so I had to get it for the bus. Yum yum yum.

Gluten Free Review: Bodach's kitchen

Image
I've said this before but it's been a while. Lots has happened since my last post which I'll maybe do a wee update post about, but today I'm here to talk about where I went for lunch today. Living in Corona times the most exciting thing you can possibly do is go for a walk and get a takeaway lunch, and today was an exciting day. After a short walk around Kelvingrove park and down Byres Road we stopped at unassuming little hole in the wall with a long queue outside which is always a good sign. The queue went down quickly and there was some cute dogs in front of us (bonus!). The staff were absolutely lovely. When asking about gluten free options they offered to make me a sandwich from scratch but I instead went for the soup and some bread and butter (not toasted so looks like they always have some fresh bread ready to go). I also got a hot apple cider (not as sweet as I expected it to be but still delicious) and the last slice of gf millionaires shortbread!  My sister got

Fräulein 38 makeup brushes review

Image
   Apologies yet again for the lack of blog posts. I am the worst blogger ever. I try and stick to a schedule of uploading every Monday but sometimes life gets in the way. I bought the Fräulein 38 24 piece starter brushes set about 2 years ago. I don't even remember what I used before then but it was probably just a mixture of random brushes collected over the years. However, I ended up buying these as I was about to participate in an amateur production of 'Little Shop of Horrors' and knew that, judging on our past show where I ended up doing the majority of the male casts makeup, I would probably need more/new brushes. After searching about for a cheap brush set I came across these. I believe I bought them from Amazon or a similar retailer as I don't remember the brand having their own website at the time. Picture taken from the Fräulein 38 website as I am silly and decided to wash my brushes therefore they look all soggy and not very attractive just now.

Bath and Body Works-Mahogany Teakwood

Image
Unfortunately for all of us living in the UK, we do not have a Bath and Body Works store. (Or perhaps it's a good thing as if we did I would have no money but lots and lots of candles...)  So, when I was in the states I had to pick up a few wee goodies. I made a trip to the Westfield San Francisco and when I saw Bath and Bodyworks, I grabbed a basket and ran around like a small child in a sweetie store.  At the top of my list were these candles. I had heard that these smelt like Abercrombie Fierce (the lovely scent which you can smell when you walk into an Abercrombie and Fitch) and that is most certainly true. Unfortunately, the bigger candles were too heavy to bring home so I got the three minis instead.  I have started burning one, and it is lasting fairly well. Also, it is really easy to light. (For some reason it takes me many attempts to light some of my other candles.)  Walking into my room now fills me with great joy every time.  Love, Fi x
