Primark Haul

Made a little visit to Primark.
I needed some warm winter stuff like Jumpers ect but i couldn't really find any jumpers that i really liked and wanted.I need to find some...i only have two. 

 I have been looking at Christmas Candles in every shop i have been into which has a typical Christmas smell. I had found one in fenwicks which had the most amazing Christmas scent but i wasn't up to spending £7.50 on a candle that was half the size of a can of soup. I went into Primark and found this which has a very light christmassy smell. Its a 3 wick candle and is only £3.50.

 I have such a struggle to find any rings that fit my fingers but i found this set of 6 in there for only £2. The set has a ring with a stud on it but i saw when i came out the shop i didn't have a stud on it. To be honest though i don't mind i didn't really like it.
I have no idea where any of my gloves have gone from last year but i thought i would by some new ones. These were only £2.50
 I saw this in Zoella's recent Primark Haul video and reallllyyy wanted to get one. This was from the mens section of Primark, It's a blue, white and red fairisle print which i loveee. I went on the hunt for one of the plain bobble hats for when i dont want to wear such a loud print but there were only white ones left or horrible ones with bits of glitter in them, so im just going to get one from New Look. £3.00

 I LOVE anything with Moustache's on and saw this and had to have it. Its just White with Black Moutache's allll over it. This was only £2.50

 Basic Muppet Christmas wrapping Paper i got to wrap both my brothers presents in. This was only £1.
 Studded collars
 I was looking for this shirt for absolutely ages in my size and finalllyyy found it today. I love it, Its very sheer and cream with Kolas all over it, Long Sleeves with studded Collars. This was only £12, which i didn't think was all that bad for a nice shirt.

 Instead of a jumper i found a cardigan, I have a Green Hoodie from Primark that i absolutely love...i wear it farrr to much though and really needed something else to wear over the top of things. I found this cardigan, I don't know whether to call it a fairisle print...It reminds me of something my Grandpa and Grandad would have worn.  This was £14.
I also got a Black Snood which was £5 and a Pain white t-shirt which was £4. These were hard to photograph so i left them out.

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation || Review

For a while i have been using the Max Factor Smooth Effect foundation (which i have done a review on to see it click HERE) this worked really well but i have recently ran out of it. I went to Boots to try and find the same one but they didn't seem to have this in the store anywhere so i decided to give up and look for another one. Instead i found this foundation which is the Rimmel London Match Perfection foundation in 010 Light Porcelain. This also contains SPF 18.


£6.99 Boots.
'Traceless coverage foundation with advanced Smart-tone technology for perfectly flawless skin under any light. Enhanced with Sapphire Radiance for an illuminating glow. Lasts all day'

I have never used any of the Rimmel London Foundations until recently. I love this it blends into the skin really well and cover any imperfections slightly (by that i mean you still obviously need a concealer). The consistency isn't very thick which i liked the most, it is very light which makes it a alot easier to blend in. I also find that you don't need alot to cover your whole face maybe just 2/3 small pumps and that would be enough, I sometimes just use one pump of foundation and it covers really well. The foundation has a very light perfumed scent to it but not like a cheap horrible foundation smell. I have used this alot since i have bought it and i find it does stay on for along time.

17 Smoulder Gel Eyeliner || Review

'17 Smoulder Gel Eyeliner, Silky, Smooth and Smudge proof. 16 hour wear. All the precision of a liquid liner but with a softer, silkier finish. Includes mini brush for foolproof application. Layer up for a smouldering eye look or use as a base for eye shadow for ultimate intensity.'
£3.99 , 17, Boots
I have been looking at Gel eyeliners for a while and today decided to get one and try it out. Im not one for things like these im always aware of poking myself in the eye alot more than a normal eyeliner pen, plus them working. I was looking at the MUA one on and off and found this one in Boots, the Gel liner from MUA was £3 where as this was £3.99....for 99p more you get a more reasonable size. I have wanted to try the Maybelline Gel Liner but to begin with i wanted to start of with something like this and see how it works for me and then maybe purchase it.  
This applies so smooth on your eyes plus it is very black which i really like, i love a very black eyeliner!
You would probably only want to use this if you are not rushing out anywhere as you would need to be quite precise for the lines you want.
I find that in this weather the colder air hurts/stings my eyes so i find that when i touch my eyes my eyeliner seems to be slightly smudged onto my fingers, this surprisingly doesn't do it which i really like.

What i dont like about this product is that it doesn't stay perfect all day, i find that it starts to flake away and that ends up all around your eyes. The product does last on your eyes though it just doesn't stay perfect so you would need to touch it up when possible. The other thing i dont like is the size of the brush, its just absolutely useless.

If you want to try a Gel Liner i advice something cheaper like this first before you buy something like the Maybelline Gel Liner. I know its only £7.99 but if you have never used it before i do advise it, plus this may not stay perfect all day but it is still a good product.
