Superhero Haul

Hey guys, today I wanted to show you a small haul that I got yesterday in Dublin. It all started when I saw a Marvel T-shirt in River Island that was really cool but was only available in children's boy's sizes. Someone that I was with at the time told me that they were pretty sure the saw a really similar T-shirt in Pennys that was avaiable in women's sizes. Off I went to Pennys in search of the superhero T-shirt, when I remembered that I saw that someone had gotten really cool superhero pj's in Pennys in a haul on their blog (I can't remember who it was now).

While I was in Pennys, I quickly found the superhero pj's that I wanted plus another pair with shorts that would be perfect to wear during the summer. After this we proceed to search all over Pennys for the T-shirt that I wanted and eventually found that it wasn't there. I bought the pajamas and decided to head back over to River Island to try on the boy's size of the one I saw earlier which looked quite big for a child's size. The kid's sizes in River Island only go up to 11-12 which sounds quite small but I liked the T-shirt so much that I decided to try it on. (Plus I'm no stranger to buying kid's clothes because they often have really nice things that fit me and they are much cheaper than adults clothes, and really who is going to know? Unless you tell everyone who reads your blog :P) The T-shirt fitted perfectly so I bought it for €14 with my student discount which is really good for a T-shirt in River Island. I might do an OOTD to show you what it looks like on and what I would wear it with. Don't judge me :P
So here are some pics and the prices of the items that I got in my haul:

Marvel pj's with shorts: Pennys/Primark €8

I heart boys in uniform pj's : Pennys/Primark €12

Marvel T-shirt: River Island €16

I hope you liked this haul. Give it a like on Bloglovin or a +1 on Google Plus if you did . Do you ever buy children's clothes or do you think that is really weird? Leave a comment below with what you think.

Random Haul

Hey Guys! Today's post is a collective haul from the other day, I know I said that I wasn't going to spend any more money until I go to France but I did need some more clothes to bring over with me and I have hardly spent any money this month so I  decided to treat myself before I go :P

The First place I went was Zara, where I got two really cool printed t-shirts and two pairs of denim jeggings, which were cheap enough, just to wear casual to college with a pair of high top trainers and probabaly a hoody depending on the weather.

Zara: €19,95        Buy here

Zara : € 22,95          Buy Here

Zara: €19,95         Buy Here

Zara: €22,95              Buy Here

I then went to River Island and saw these gorgeous high tops for €40. I have bought two pairs of high tops in River Island before and I live in them so I knew that they were worth the money. I also got these really cute pair of moustache earrings for €2.

River Island: €40            Buy Here

River Island : €2                  Buy Here

I  got these really cute super hero socks in pennys for €2,50. They kind of remind me of the old batman t.v show from the 60s that I used to watch every Saturday morning when I was a kid (not in the 60s :P)

Pennys €2,50            Can't buy online

Next I went to Awear and saw this really cool letterman jacket style hoody that I just fell in love with. It's really warm too so I think it will be great for the winter months.

Awear: €35      Not on the Website

Finally, I got 2 Bblonde highlighting kits and a purple shampoo in Boots because I am planning to ombre my hair this week. I've wanted to ombre my hair for a while now and finally decided to bite the bullet and do it. I decided to do it myself because it's very expensive to get it done at a hairdressers. I did a lot of research on how to do it yourself by watching a lot of youtube videos and reading a lot of blog posts about it. I decided to get the Bblonde highlighting kit over The L'Oréal wild ombre kit because I read a lot more positive reviews about it online, and my hair is dark brown and this one seems to make dark hair a lot blonder than the L'oréal one which makes your hair more coppery. This is also the kit that Zoella and Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter used and I love how their hair came out.

1 Bblonde Highlighting Kit : €8.99
Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes Purple Shampoo: €8.49
Buy Here and Here

I got two of the Bblonde Highlighting Kits because I heard that their isn't that much in them and my hair is quite long and thick. I got the purple shampoo to take all the brassy tones out of my hair after I dye it and to keep the colour from fading. I'm kind of scared about doing this because I've never dyed my hair before but my my friend Katie is coming over on Friday to help me do it and for some moral support :P I'm hoping to do a blog post about it Saturday evening but it could be a bit later in the week because I'm working all weekend and I have a lot of packing to do. I'm planning a lot of other blog posts for this week though including "My Travel Beauty Essentials" so make sure to check back to see them or follow my blog to get updates of when I write a new post :)

Hope you liked this post :) Did you ever ombre your Hair? How did it turn out? Also, please let me know of any bad hair dyeing experiences that you've had because I'd love to know what not to do :P

NOTD | Black and Gold Metallic Nails

Hey Guys! Today i'm going to be a bit more adventurous with my nails, using black crackle glaze over gold nail varnish to create this cool metallic look. I really like the idea of crackle glaze because it looks like you have spent a lot more time on your nails then you actually have. If you don't know how crackle glaze works, you start off by painting a base colour (like I did with the gold), wait for it to dry, and then just paint the crackle glaze straight over it. (it's a simple as that) Then some of the crackle glaze will crack off you nails on its own and leave them looking like this design in the picture above.

I got this Angelica Crackle Glaze in the colour Black Crackle in Pennys for only around €2 so it's great value for money. The Gold Catrice nail varnish is no. 650 Goldfinger and is Limited Edition (just under €2) but you could use any gold nail varnish to achieve this look. You could also use the crackle glaze over any other colour that you like. Both red and silver are colours that I think would look really cool :) 

You can buy Angelica nail varnishes at any Pennys (Primark). Barry M also do a crackle glaze that can produce a similar effect and it can be bought at most Boots Stores or you can click here to buy it on Amazon.
