Pre-Birthday Spending

It's my birthday in a weeks time, so a few days k gone my mum took me shopping in town and I bought lots of new clothes and some shoes and things.. none of which I'm allowed until my birthday! Sigh, I hate waiting! Haha. But I bought a few things for myself..

Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter, Lush, £5.50
Seche Vite Top Coat, Sally's, £8.99
China Glaze Polish in Frostbite, Sally's, £5.99
Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File and Protective Case, Boots, £10
I definitely didn't mean for them to be all nail based, really, but that is how it turned out, I suppose. I have used all of these and so far I am in love! But I'm going to keep using them for a little bit longer before I do a full review on them. (:
And then I got myself this great shirt from H&M (one of my favourite shops!).

Flamingo Shirt, roughly £10, which I personally think is a bargain for a flamingo, haha, my mum thought it looked dead..
A few days after that my friend wanted/needed (the lines are blurry!) to buy some new shoes.. so as a good friend, I went with her..and got some shoes for myself.. (:

Grey Jersey Flats, Primark, £5
I really wanted some cute new flat for when I dash out to the shops or hanging about in the garden or with friends.. it's a proper bitch to find my size, let me tell you. I'm a size 9. So when I spotted this find for £5 in Primark, I definitely didn't hesitate.


Black Zip-Front Cage Courts, New Look, £22
These were actually £19-something with a student discount card, which is awesome! It's my birthday in seven days (eee!) and I'll be going out with a bunch of friends fro the night out, of course, and wanted some slightlyyy lower heels to wear out so my feet will last all night and not protest.. so I got these. Looking them up on New Look for you, I see that they do nude ones, which are pretty cute, too. Also in size 9! Check it out, big-footed girls.


In The Buff Nail Polish, MAC, £8.99


Cockatoo Necklace, Accessorize, £5
My mum thought this was bizarre, again, but she hates birds.. I love it, it's so cute!

I don't really want to get into the habit of doing haul posts, really, I'd rather do them as like, coming-soon-review posts, haha. That said, expect some reviews!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub Review

To be honest, when I was at the counter with this, I did feel a little guilty buying it, because I know you can make this at home with olive oil and sugar.. but when it's only £4.50 and it tastes amazingly like bubblegum.. well, as soon as I tried it on, I didn't feel so guilty!

It's £4.50. comes in a very convenient little pot, and you do get 25g, which is going to last you a little while! I know it has a sell by date on it, but sugar is going to last quite a while, to be fair! It comes in two other flavours/scents, I don't remember the names but one was minty and the other chocolate.. so whatever floats your boat, really!

I've been using a cotton bud/my finger to scoop it out the pot, and I rub it on moisturised lips, and give a thorough, but not rough scrub, making sure all the rough skin goes. I feel like this is going to be super useful in the summer when my lips catch the sun, as they're bound to do. And then you can have scrummy, smooth lips! I wear a lot of lipstick, especially bright colours where it's awkward to reapply lipbalm often, so this stops them from looking too dried out, which I much prefer, don't you think?
