2. Scrabble Ring
I ordered this really cute scrabble ring from Ebay. I have wanted one for ages and this one is great as it is ajustable. It was really cheap at 99p, but after waiting 14 days for it to arrive and when it did it was broken I was a bit dissapointed. After super-gluing it back together though I love it to pieces! 99p + 99p postage, Ebay.
                                        3.  The Maybelline Forever string Pro in Lilac Charm.
I love this nail polish! I have raved about this before as I just think the colour is beautiful. You can see it here in my OOTD. It was about £3 on offer in ASDA.

4. I have been  loving two skincare products, the balance Me wonder eye cream and the Clinique liquid facial soap. You can read my review on them both here.



My two favourite clothing items were seen here in my shopping on a budget post. I have worn them both so much since getting them and they were quite reasonably priced!

So I have been accumulating a number of jewellery items that I thought I would show to you all. I thought I didn't have much jewellery so I went out and bought some, but now I think I almost have too much (although you can never have too much jewellery!). I am a huge ring junkie so I have quite a large ring collection now. Is it normal to have more rings than fingers? I also have been on the hunt for a long necklace and have found the perfect one from Kukee.com. I really recommend their Jewellery, it is cheap and so pretty!

From L to R: Scrabble Ring 99p+99p P&P Ebay, Oval Ring and Gold Circle Ring from set of 2 around £3.99 H&M,  Silver Ring Vintage and Above Knuckle Ring £1.50 Kukee.com.

So as people may be tightening their belts and not spending as much money at the moment, you might be interested to know some ways of saving money when buying your clothes. Judging by the name of my blog, you might have guessed I like to dabble in a bit vintage clothing, and shopping in Charity shops and on Ebay is a great way to get hold of these type of clothes. Since taking the pictures for this post I have indeed been to other charity shops and bought an amazing floral skirt for the bargainous price of £1.50. I also picked up 3 books for £1, and although books isn't really clothing, I would love to do a book review as I know some people like to see them. Also, seeing as people might want to catch up on some holiday reading, I thought now was an appropriate time.


So first I have two items from Ebay. First is this BEAUTIFUL play-suit which is originally from the Urban Renewal section in Urban Outfitters. I paid £9.50 + £4.20 postage which I thought was a little on the pricey side for such a small parcel, but the playsuit makes up for the postage price. I LOVE it and have worn it so much since getting it. Also from Ebay, I bougt a really cute vintage cardi from a lovely seller/shop named Flapjack Clothing. They packaged it up beautifully and they had so many really lovely vintage items. I have worn this alost none-stop and it was a bargain at £4.20 + £2.99 postage.

Next I went to some charity shops and got some more great bargains. I got a pair of practicallly new Topshop treggings for £4.99! They are about a size 10 so a little big for me, but I think I might alter them slightly. Also, I got a rather unique blouse to say the least, but I love the fact it is so quirky. I only paid £4.99 for it and I love it to pieces.

 So that was all of my purchases from Kukee, but I REALLY would love to buy some more! I really recommend visiting their website http://www.kukee.co.uk/ or follow them on twitter @ilovekukee.

Skincare is one of those things that comes with wearing make-up on a daily basis. Many people make sure they take all of their make-up off before they go to bed and leave your skin beautifully moisturised. It is also great even if you don't wear make-up. It can revitalise your skin and make your face feel more vibrant. After years of watching my mum use Clinique products, I have followed in her footsteps and used Clinique myself. I remember always feeling so grown-up at the age of about nine, when she would let me have a moisturiser or a free sample. I follow the Clinique 3-step skin care routine, along with some other products which I have found along my travels.

Step 1- Cleanse.
I like to use face wipes as they are just so easy and remove your eye and face make-up in one. I have tried many such as Simple and Nivea, but strangey I really like the ASDA Skin Systm Cleansing Facial Wipes. They smell lovely and remove my make-up well. They are really well priced and only cost about a pound.





Step 2 is Step 1 of the Clinique 3-step Skin Care routine.
I use Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in mild. This stuff is AMAZING! It leaves your skin felling clean and refreshed. For a 200ml bottle it is £15 and you can buy it from places such as John Lewis. I tend to use the up the free samples from the Bonus Packs as they are really handy for travelling.












Step 3 is Step 2 of the Clinique 3-step skin routine.
I use Clinique clarifying lotion 2. It is £16 for a 200ml bottle, again from John Lewis.













Step 4 is Step 3 of the Clinique 3-step skin routine.

I use the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion. It is so light and sinks into the skin beautifully. It is £17 for 50ml. If my skin feels extra dry, I like to use Clinique Moisture Surge as it really keeps my skin feeling hydrated. It is £32 for 50ml.

















Step 5- Eye Cream.
I use the balance Me extra care wonder eye cream. This stuff is my latest discovery and I have to say it is THE BEST EYE CREAM I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS! With it's 99% natural ingrediants it reduces dark circles like a dream. I got a 7ml tube in Glamour magazine and went back for another one as it is normally £20 for a 15ml bottle. I love this and am so happy I have found it. I feel I don't need to wear concelaler that much under my eyes now.















Others-
If I am having a day where my skin is breaking out I will use a cream or exfoliator designed to fight spots, such as the Clearasil Ultra All in 1 Wash and Mask. Also I use Clinque 7 day scrub cream as a gentle exfoliator for my skin. It is £17.50 for a 100ml tube.

This is my first ever Outfit Of The Day so I hope it is up to standard! It is BOILING here in the UK, ( I know, it's hard to believe!) so I am trying to wear as little as possible but still keeping my dignity intact. My top was £8 from Primark about a year ago. My shorts are from Topshop (last year aswell, sorry!) and they were £10 in the sale! My bracelets are a collection of random ones that I have picked up. My two favourites are the beaded Aztec print one and the American flag band. My lovely brother kindly bought them back from America for me after his galavant around the west coast, so I have no clue how much they were! My nails are Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Lilac Charm.

   So I have been nominated for this award by Annie's Corner and am thrilled! I have to answer 11 questions set for me and tell you 11 things about myself.

 The Liebster Blog Award is given to upcoming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. The Meaning; Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome.


Also I have to nominate 5 other people for this award. So, here goes-

1- Superdrug Dry Shampoo.
This stuff smells amazing but I don't think it is as good as Batiste as it doesn't seem to have the same grease banishing, hair refreshing effect. I bought them on an amazing offer of 3 for £1.99 so for the price they are really quite good!

2- Clinique blended face powder in 20 invisible blend.
I really like this powder as it is almost invisible when applied and leaves your face shine free! I don't particularly like loose powders that much as I find them a bit of a faf but this one is really good and I totally recommend it! I got mine in a smaller version from a Clinique Bonus Time pack but you can buy full size versions for around £20 in boots.

3- Hollister Crystal Cove Body Mist.
You can read my review in my June Favourite here.

4- Sanex dermo invisible 24h anti-perspirant deodorant.
Okay, so this is slightly random as it is a deodorant but it is a very good one and I thought I would just share it with you. It only cost me £1 from savers.

5- St Tropez Everyday Body Moisturiser Gradual Tan in Medium to Dark
You can read my review on this product in my June Favourites here.

6- Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour Felt Tip Liner
I really haven't enjoyed using this product at all. First of all the smell is rather pungent and not very pleasant. The tip if the liner is rather good but the actual liquid leaves a lot to be desired. I would say that it doesn't last 24 hours as it starts to fade in the most annoying places. Also, I have been left with black marks on the top of my eyelids after use. I wouldn't recommend this product. It was £2.99 from Boots.


7- Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation
You can read my review of this product in my June Favourites here.


8- Nail Polish
I have really enjoyed using these nail polishes as they are all really good and I totally recommend them!

   My favourites are Maybelline New York Forever Strong Pro in 240 Lilac Charm  (bought on offer for £3 in ASDA) and MUA Nail Varnish in shade 5 (£1 Superdrug).  They are both beautiful colours that are perfect for spring/summer.
