Kikki Accessories Haul :)

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while I promise to post more. But anyway today's post is a little different to what I normally post but I've seen so many people posting planner related blog posts recently so I said I might aswell join the band wagon!
So I have these Kikki K goodies stashed away for such a long time now that I nearly forgot I had them!

Everything in this haul came from a website called kikki k. They are an australian based company but the owner is Swedish. You can see the Swedish influence throughout the products on the website. Obiviously if you live in Australia you'll see many Kikki stores around. I wish we had something like this here in Ireland, I guess I'll keep dreaming! Anyway onto to the haul! (All prices are in AUS Dollars)






First up is this really cute notepad from the collection "Love Mail". I love how pink and girlie this is.

There are so many different patterns on the paper when you look inside. (As seen below.)

I'm probably going to cut some of the pages out and laminate them and stick them in my planner.

This was $8.95.















Loving the hearts in this one.






Next up are these ball point pens from the "Live
Bright" collection. I actually own a set of these 
already but I love them so much I had to pick
up another set. I love all of them, the colours 
and the patterns on them are so pretty.
I love the way they write also and they fit perfectly in my planner.

 These were $9.95






A girl needed some glitter tape. . .  This was $3.95





Next are these vision board cards from the "Inspiration" collection.
I picked these up because they had some nice inspirational quotes that I put up on my wall and inspire me and motivate me when I'm down. This was $ 9.95.







 Next I picked up some sticker books. I got the "Confetti" DIY and Party Stickers and Gift Tags and the "Live What You Love" Sticker book. These were $19.95 each.









Lets have a look inside shall we?


So pretty! They look so nice in the book I don't even want to use them!










I also picked up some water stickers just to keep track of my daily water intake, nothing special! These were $3.95







Lastly I picked up this daily task planner thingy. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this yet because I have everything written in my planner. I'll find a use for this, might be handy to keep downstairs and I could use it for cleaning tasks and shopping :) This was $12.95




Hope you enjoyed this little Kikki K haul! Keep a look out for my next blog post which will be on my Pink Kikki k Planner :)


Have a good day,

NYX Matte Lipstick Haul


So today while I was at the chemist I saw that they had a new NYX stand and I went a bit mad with lip products. I picked up six of the matte lipsticks and two lip pencils. The Lip pencils were about €5 and the lipsticks were €7.50.





The two lip pencils I picked up were 048 Rose (Top) and 839 Dolly Pink (Bottom). I don't have lip pencils in these colours and thought that I could use them with some of the matte lipsticks I got, although that Dolly Pink colour is super barbie pink! I'm sure I'll grow to love it.




Look how pretty these matte lipsticks are! From R-L Angel, Bloody Mary, Hippie Chic, Natural, Audrey and Strawberry Daiqouri. I'm loving these colours for Spring and Summer! Below are pictures of them on my lips. Excuse the rough application :P.

Hope you enjoyed this little haul today and hope you're having a great day!

March Favourites 2015

What it's already April??




So I apologise for being MIA for the last 3 weeks, my laptop was being repaired and just got it back. So what better way to make up for the time I've missed then to write my March Favourites. I've some new favourites this month and products that I'm trying out. So on we go...






So first off is face products. I've been currently using the stila one step skin correcting and brightening serum as a primer. I still love my Too Faced Hangover primer, but when I'm heading out for a night out I want extra protection for my red cheeks. This stuff really calms the redness in my face and makes my face bright and evens out my complexion. I gotta say I'm impressed so far. 

The foundation I've been trying to use is the Make up Forever HD foundation. This foundation I got in New York a few months back and its not really working out that well, its just a tad bit light for me at the moment. I'm sure I'll get some use out of it next winter. I'm still loving my Mac Face and Body and for powder I'm still using my holy grail, Mac's Mineralised Skin Finish in Light Plus. Just check out my Febuary Favourites for my ultimate favourites! 





These are new favourites of mine right now. I'm loving the Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette (Top). It's such an awesome palette. The shades that I used are Lucid (Light) and Sombre (Contour). They are the lightest hightlight and contour shades. I'm really enjoying this.
On to blush. Right now I'm really loving the Mac Sheertone Blush in Blushbaby (right). I think its the perfectmid tone pink blush for spring. Love. For highlighter I have a new Love with the Balm's Mary Lou-manizer (left). I've been getting big into highlighters recently and I absoutely love this product! It's definitely a must have in every girl's collection.







Onto eyes and lips next! I thought it was time this month to break out my Naked 2 palette again and boy did I miss it! I don't know why this was in the back of my make-up drawer, I always forget some products and then I see them again and think 'why don't I use this?'. I really miss this little gem and I've been using it again this month and been creating new looks and just messing with it. 

For lips this month I'm been using my Chanel lipstick in 86. I went through a nude phase, well actually no I always have a nude phase, but anyways, this lipstick is perfect for spring, it just makes me smile when I wear it. It's a soft nudey pinky peach and I love this! It's been getting some hard core loving this month!

That sums up my March Favourites!

Hope everyones having a good day :)
