great!

The bag I was going to get for college has disappeared off the River Island website which means it won't be in store :( 
I wanted that bag back in March but ended up getting a bag from Accessorize - I really regret it now as it would of fitted everything I need for college.


I've found another bag on the website which looks like a new addition to them so hopefully I'll be able to get next month :)


Its one of those satchels that they've been doing for a few months but its an oversized version, hopefully it will fit all my stuff but I want to try it out first like with my notepad, academic diary, pencil case and purse :)


the bag is: http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/bags--purses/satchels/brown-oversized-washed-satchel-604280

I've also found another purse, its the exact design as the purse mentioned in a previous post but its black and silver instead of pink:

The pink one:

I don't know which purse I like better; the pink or the black/silver


What do you think?

My college bag and purse I want!

I start back at college in September (I'm studying Travel & Tourism Level 2) so its time for a new bag and purse.
Because my course is mainly written I need a bag big enough for my folder, notepad and stationary.
I already have one bag bigger enough for September but I can't use just one bag for the whole year, I need at least two bags so I can swap over.

This is the bag I want, I've had my eye on it for a while but I never got it which I'm regretting it now but I want to get it in August. Hopefully its still in the shop but they've got another version of it but its blue stripe :)

This is the purse I've decided on, my friend Nicole has the purse in White (her's has a ruched front though).
It has plenty of cardholders, a zipped compartment for change and 4 compartments for notes, receipts etc.

I love River Island's bags and purse as they are really good quality, they are expensive but its worth the price.

Thanks for reading

2 Dove Deodorants + Free Nails Inc Polish

Boots is doing another 'buy 2 and get a free Nails Inc polish' offer but this time it isn't Diet Coke like Boots normally does, its Dove Deodorant.

I first heard the offer last week on More! Magazine's Facebook fan page ( More! is the magazine that has POTW and Men Overheard, it's out every Tuesday and costs £1.50), so I thought next time I'm near a Boots I'll have a look at the offer - luckily there is a Boots near my college :)

So I went in Boots and saw the stand, which I read to see which type of deodorant is including in the offer and they are: 50ml Roll-on deodorant any variety and 250ml spray on deodorant any variety.
So I chose Beauty Finish (Dove's new one as it is really good and has a 1/4 of moisturiser in it plus I'm currently using so it made sense) in the 250ml can as I'm not keen on roll-on deodorant.

The free Nails Inc polishes come in two colours: Copacabana ( a coral colour) and Havana (a shimmery taupe colour),
I chose Havana as its a perfect colour for wearing to interviews, recruitment days/fairs and if you want to give your nails a break from bright colours.



When Havana is on your nails, it looks pinky/peachy if you do two coats which I find is best to be honest as one coat isn't enough for me, also I would recommend you use a base coat (to prevent your nails from staining) and top coat ( to prolong it from chipping)

The picture makes it look a lot pink than it is but in real life its got a peachy tone to it :)

For this offer it cost me £6.44, it may seem a bit pricey but you won't run out of deodorant for a bit, your getting a nail polish worth £11 for free and you get 24 points on your Boots Advantage Card.

Thankyou for reading ♥

First Post!

Welcome to my new blog, this is a second attempt at a blog as my first attempt failed very miserably and I haven't used it in about 5/6 months lol.
That isn't going to happen this time as I have more time to do posts because I'm now on my ten week summer holiday from college, woop woop! 

This blog is going to be about anything, not just beauty like my other blog so its basically just like my twitter then haha.

I hope you like my first post :) x
