George at Asda at it again! ♥

Bonjourno! I thought I would do another little fashion-like post, because I don't do them too often or very much at all really, but I went into Asda and was pretty excited about all the lovely stuff in there!

I have previously done a blog post on Asda gear, they tend to go through fits and starts of great and not so great ranges, however I am totally thumbing up the current stock. 

I instantly fell in love with this Giraffe jumper! It's so cute, and I would have got it but we have just booked a holiday for 2 weeks time so I need to save the pennies! But if I can gather up twelve quid when I return, this shall make it's new home in my wardrobe. 

I feel so shifty when I take photo's in Asda, I feel like all the cameras must be watching me and some big security guard is going to tell me off. I have the story all planned out if that happened that my Mom happens to love Giraffes so I was sending her a picture of this jumper, you know, so actually I might be taking a photo but it's free advertising and I could be getting £12.00 profit for you and blah blah blah...Convincing, no?

These are cute little bags too, I particularly like the coral coloured one, and I think these were £6.00.

Jazzy aztec monochrome leggings, which would actually look pretty cool with the orange top above them on the hanger.

I totally love both of these! The shirt is super cute with all it's little palm trees and cars on. It's also longer at the back which I love, gotta keep that big booty covered, no one needs to see that! And the blazer is amazing too, although I don't know if the horizontal stripe would be very complimentary on a curvy ladeh like me! Colours are lovely though!

Aztec leggings in crazy colours! Only £9.00 too.

I thought these were really pretty wedges that they had. They would be great for holiday or if we ever manage to see the sun over here. I often find with Asda shoes, there is only the odd pair that are really nice out of their range at any one time, and these happen to be it. I think they were about £12.00.

I love this oatmeal coloured tassle cardigan. I thought it would be a nice 'shove-on' for holiday, or over shorts and a strappy top with some jazzy sandals. It could really spruce up an outfit for £12.00!

Cute leopard print bag, for nights out or dinners out. I do love a good bit of leopard print, especially for six quid.

AND great news! Asda now stock Yankee Candles!! It is a limited range of course, but they also do their own scented wax burners for £5.00, that fit the Yankee tartlet samples in. We got some in Vanilla frosting, Soft Linen (I think that's what it's called) and then Asda's own Vanilla. They are lovely and the Yankee Vanilla Frosting is amazingly sickly sweet, which I totally love! Just kinda wish it was edible.

So there we go, a little looksy into what's about in Asda at the moment. Definitely worth checking out, there are bargains to be had yet again! 

Ciao for now xXx

Weekend Antics ♥

Hi Peeps. Good weekend? I hope so, and that everyone was out enjoying the sun! My weekend posts are increasing because I have no money at the moment to buy beauty products *sob sob*, so for today this will have to do. I might do some make up collection posts over the next few days to keep going until I get some more bits and bobs.

Firstly, on Friday we went up to the Lake District to go and look round our chosen venue for our wedding, and put the deposit down. We had a tour and the wedding co-ordinator was so helpful and answered every question I needed to know. We like it just as much - if not more than when we went before, and so we put the deposit down. So after nearly eight years more or less, it's finally been done and it's all officially booked! Yay! I'm so excited and can't wait to see what the next 23 months bring.

Quick picture taken while we were on the road, but you can see why we have chosen to get married 150 miles away!

In Kendal, the main town near the hotel, there was a little Owl display on. I've never been up close to any before really, and didn't realise how tame they were! They are so cute, look at the eyes on this fella though, wouldn't upset him would you? I didn't believe he was even real at first but he sure is!

On the Sunday, it was a great day weather wise so we decided to go for a picnic in the park. We don't get to do things like that very often because work and things, so we jumped at the chance. We packed a load of healthy goodies and went and lay out in the sun. It was tres romantique and Ed even fell asleep, snores and all bless him.

At the picnic. I've given Ed a squishy eye, haha!

We then took a quick trip to Ikea, because we needed a wardrobe and a bin, but we came out with everything but. Instead we got these nice plant pots to hang on our balcony, and then an outdoor table and chairs to be able to eat outside when the weather is ever nice. It looks much nicer out there now.

So that was my weekend really! Did you get up to anything nice? I always like to hear!

Ciao for now XxX

May Glossybox and Wedding Bells ♥

Howdy! So it's almost the weekend time again, and I'm super excited, especially with all this good weather that I haven't yet been able to have a share of.

First off, I just had to include this picture of my little Bunnykins! I cleaned up all our bedroom so she can have a good run about now, so we decided to shut our door and leave her out through the night so she can hop in and out of her cage if she wanted. I think she really enjoyed her little self, and as we were settling down for bed, this is the position she got herself in! How sweet is that! We love her to pieces, she couldn't get much cuter.

So it was the one year anniversary Glossybox this month, and I was excited to receive it, as always! But across the board I get the feeling everyone was expecting something a lot more this month, but I suppose we have to remember it IS a sample testing service, and not everybody is going to like what goes into it, so I guess the guys at Glossybox HQ have their work cut out. I love the pretty paper packaging this month.

I won't waffle on too long, but for a quick overview I'll put what I got, and briefly what I think.

Noble Isle Shower Gel = Smells actually like fairy liquid, doesn't do anything for me but I'll use it as a tide-me-over, or give it to the hubby because it does smell a little masculine.

Express Beauty Mask with Honey = I got two of these sachets, and I didn't know if it was a face or hair mask because half of the packaging is in a different language! It is a face mask and I do like them however, I am still yet to try this so I'll let you know.

Si Lolita and Lolita Lempicka Perfume Samples = I have never smelt a Lolita Lempicka fragrance before, but they are ones I always see in the airport duty frees. I think the Si Lolita does smell a little bit old lady - I'm gonna put it out there!! But the Lolita Lempicka, oh my gosh I love it. It is super sweet - just how I like frangrances, and I'm thinking of purchasing it or asking for it for my birthday.

OSMO Berber Oil hair treatment = I have actually never tried a hair oil before, so I was pleased to see this. I'm not really into hair care much apart from dying it to buggeration, but I'll definitely try it. My hair is pretty long and thick so I don't know if it would cover mine but we shall see!

Eldora False Eyelashes = I got some with gold streaks in! I am very pleased with these because I am currently planning on doing a few self portrait shoots for my make up portfolio and these go exactly with a look I am going to be trying out, so surprisingly good for me.

Lastly a Glossybox mirror and Balloon, I love the mirror, can never have to many because I always lose them! And its double sided so that's good. And then there's the balloon. Well, when am I ever going to use that?

Overal an OK box, nothing I totally love in there besides the Lolita Lempicka perfume, so there we go. Bring on the next one!

Just a quickie, anyone else noticed Tesco have started doing these acrylic spinney pen holder majigys? This was only around £3.00 so I thought it would be good to put just my everyday pencils and brushes in. All they need to start doing now are those clear Muji drawers and my prayers would be answered!

Finally, on to the weekend! If you follow me on twitter - @misswicktilleth - you may know that I am off to the lake district with Ed, his sister Maria and her boyfriend Jonny tonight. We have a meeting with a wedding co-ordinator at the hotel we want to get married in up there at 10am tomorrow morning (Saturday 26th), and she is going to show us around then we are putting our deposit down! I'm so excited, it is all becoming pretty real now and once we have got this down, we can really start to plan things. Hopefully I will get some pictures up there so I shall pop them on next week.

These are some roses Ed got me last night as a surprise! Aww he is so cute, I'm a lucky woman!

Have a great weekend guys!

Ciao for now XxX

Make Up Haul, MUA, MAC, Illamasqua ♥

Ahoy there! Did everybody have a nice bank holiday weekend? I hope so! Even with less than a week to Beauty UK, unfortunately I could not fight the make up minions that live inside my brain, and well and truly overspent in Birmingham. Although I only got two higher end products, it all adds up and I ended up in Primark too! Man alive, am I paying for it now.

You only live once is one of my favourite sayings ;)

So I'll just whizz through, just to give you an idea of what is out there at the moment! As you may or may not know, MACs new 'Hello Sailor' collection was launched this week, and as only this year I have learnt about MAC *shock horror*, I haven't had any of the patterned, limited edition collections. I loved this one though,  so I had to get something from it! I picked up the Frost lipstick in 'To Catch a Sailor', and it is a gorgeous sheer gold colour. I know the frost lipsticks aren't the best for colour, but I find that this one is buildable, suitable for everyday wear, or build it up and it is a very metallic bronze gold. It is a different colour for me, but I'm all into trying new things! That was £14.00. 

Talking of new things, I have been lusting after Illamasqua's Apocalips since the Human Fundamentalism collection came out! As you know, my hair is turquoise so this is a must have! Obviously not for everyday wear, but it's just something I need in my life! It is a little darker than the advertisement photos, but with a blue lip/eyeliner, or a white one underneath, that soon brightens it up. The make up artist in Selfridges put it on me so I was walking around town with blue lips, which made me look like a drag queen because she extended my cupids bow, and didn't do the best job. I don't want to tell my grandmother how to suck eggs, but I soon wiped it off. That was £15.50.

Primark have bought out their own lipbalms! They smell a bit dodgy I must admit, like more clinical than the smell they are meant to be, but for £1.00 I got two, just to shove in my bag!

I have got a fancy dress party for Ed's brothers birthday in June, which doubles as our Queen's jubilee date so we have to dress all patriotic! Most people are going as the Royals, so I thought I would be different and go as a Union Jack! I have a Union Jack dress, deely boppers, lip tattoo...the list goes on! In Primark I found these nail wraps for £1.00! I have never tried nail wraps before, but they are perfect so I will give them a go! 

I then came across this spray rapid dry for nails. It was on the test table at Superdrug and I was extremely sceptical about it. I had a go however, and it works like a dream! It's a bit wet at first but I felt the nail after about 30 seconds and it was already pretty much dry. I am looking forward to properly trying it out, and I shall later review it. This was £3.59. Next up, MUA.

We all know and love MUA, and I have tons of the stuff, but I hadn't got the red lipstick yet! Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter always says how much she loves it, and I have four other pink shades but not the red, so for £1.00 I had to get it! I am yet to try, but I'm sure it shall be fabulous!

I also naughtily got a couple of other bits while I was there. I am actually determined to have the whole collection. I got the face powder in shade 1, because I usually use the Sleek Luminous face powder, but this is £1.00 so I thought I should try it, and compare. I got the two remaining blushers that I don't have, in shade  2 and shade 6. I absolutely love the MUA blushers, I couldn't recommend them more because the colours, application and price are all beautiful.

I then picked up the new brush on concealer. I don't think this is going to be a product I stick with, as my 'go-to' concealer is of course the Collection 2000 lasting perfection. It is in one of those applicators that have the twisty, clicky bit on the bottom, to which you have to wait a lightyear for the product to come out - then it all comes out at once! Does that happen to you? It seems to dry quickly too so not that easy to blend, and although it is the light shade, it is still a few shades dark for me. That was £2.00.

And finally the last few items. Eyeliners and plumping lip gloss. In Illamasqua, when I had Apocalips put on, the Make up artist lined my lips with a blue liner, and then put on the lipstick. Of course, she tried to sell it to me, but I knew I could get the exact colour from MUA for a pound!! And lets face it, I'm not gonna wear it everyday. It is in shade 'Turquoise' and is a very close dupe to 'Debonair' from Illamasqua, just £12.00 cheaper. I got the 'Royal Blue' shade also, and the Illamasqua dupe is called 'Paddle'. I can't believe how close it is really!

For the lippies, I got two of the plumping 'Out There' glosses, which were £2.00 each. I got them in 'Shocking Pink' and 'Buff'. They do sting a tad! But no pain, no gain!

So I hope you liked my little haul, please go out and try the MUA products yourselves if you haven't already, I think you would be pleasantly surprised! 

If you are still with me, here is an adorably cute picture of our bunny, Peanut. She is the most spoilt bunny in the world, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Our new baby ♥

Good day bloggerinas! I promise after this post it shall be a beauty related one! However, I couldn't resist sharing this with you! Firstly, THANK YOU for getting me to over 1000 views! I can't believe that many people have read my waffle, so thank you.

Right, onto the subject in hand.

Meet Peanut !!!

This is our gorgeous new baby bunny! Oooo I love her so much! Ed and I had the day together on Saturday, and Ed loves animals like I do, and suggested we went to the pet shop, right out of the blue. We had been desperate for a dog but we can't have one due to lifestyle and where we live etc, so I put a ban on going to the dogs home because we would never of come out without one. Pets at home it was, and we ventured there on Saturday 28th April. When we got there we went straight to the back where all the animals are, and had a look round them. We hadn't said to each other it was a bunny we wanted, or if we were going to get anything at all! All we could see apart from hamsters and mice was a huge albino rabbit and a little black one, and although they were cute they weren't really ones we both jumped at the chance to have. So I said to Ed why don't we ask and see if there are any others. So we did, and there was one other, this little mite. 

We fell instantly in love with her, she is a lionhead rabbit and she is just adorably cute!!! She has got a pink cage with some daisy toys and a pink lead in case we take her for a little walk. I love her soooo much! Here is a piccy of me with Peanut. We called her peanut because she has little tan coloured dots on her fur like peanuts!

She is so calm and collected, and quite tame. She is a little nervous but we can see an improvement already. We were laughing so much at her because she was super chilled out watching the TV. We have never seen a rabbit like it!

How flippin' cute can you actually get? I get so excited about going home now, I open her cage and she just hops around sniffing everything and checking her new home out, and when she fancies a drink she just hops back in her cage! Such a good bunnykins!

So that was my cute post for the week, I'm sure plenty more pictures will arise!

Ciao for now, and ciao from Peanut! Xxx
