mini haul + NOTM

Took a family day outing to Ashford designer outlet
.. and it wasnt quite what i expected
I'd rather go bicester village, but thats just my opinion.

At Ashford, they had a Revlon Outlet there and i picked up 
I got nude lustre and the nude cream bases? i dont know the name but yeh u get what im trying to say!.. Anyways ive been meaning to get the cream base thingy, but theyre always out of stock in my superdrug & boots, so when i saw it here, and at a discounted price, u know i had to get them :)
Any tips with these?.




Anyways my NOTM ft. Barry M's Mint Green


My cuticles look DISGUSTINGGGG LOL. 
anywho, i took two pictures, as you can see duhhh!, but my bb camera just didnt do this nail polish justice!
Its back in my favourites! even though its winter i am soooooooo sporting this look!. 
I DONT GIVA D :)

Canada Swap + NOTM

I finally finished my assignment, and its half term 
*bbm dancing face

Anywaysss, to the actual blogpost! 
I did a swap with Kim, who you can find here
She was actually my first swap, so you really couldn't get how excited i was! 
The swap was actually for nail polishes but the customs there was a pain in the butt, sorry again Kim for all the trouble! 

They would only let her send, one polish, but she actually sent two :)
1. Dulce de Leche
2. Mod about you
I know what your thinking, "why would you ask for polishes you already have?!" 
wellllll i didnt know that i was getting these, and u can never go wrong with a nude and pink :)

Next is the jewellry, she got me four necklaces in total, but two broke in the mail =( 
Oh and she also sent me a ring, but uknow that broke too, i was gna try to fix it but the ring didnt even fit my fingerss! my fingers are wayyyy too small! 


And last but not least, the two things i was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo suprised about .. 

THE CYNDI AND GAGA LIPGLASSES!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WAS ACTUALLY SCREAMING and did a little jump when i got these! (take note these were not yet out in the UK when i got the package)

So so so so grateful, thank again Kim!
Great blogger, i recommend! heres her link again --> dance as if no one's watching 
Customs was a pain in the butt, but i certainly learned my lesson 


Quick NOTM:
Products used: Barry M Nail Paint 313 Dusky Mauve, and on the fore finger, a bd polish in princess
