Mini Haul: Boots, Topshop & Primark!

Shopping for friends is one of my favourite things, I just love looking at their faces when they open a present they've been looking forward to, so Christmas and birthdays are my forte. Within my friendship group, we tend not to buy each other Christmas presents because there is a large number of us (10!) but we do buy each other birthday presents!
Now this present is work-in-progress as I'm going to be collecting bits and bobs up until the 23rd Nov when it is my friends birthday! Courtney, I hope you're not reading this!;)
Jumper, Primark Mens (£10.00 - bargain!) Throw/Blanket, Primark (£5.00) Earrings, Topshop (£7.50) found here. Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil in Dark Blonde, Boots (£2.99) found here
Now not all of this is for her, the jumper and eyebrow pencil are mine. So let's start with that.
I bought this at the start of the October half term and for most the holiday I was wearing it! It's so comfy and it was such a bargain! It's so easy to style, it can be worn just with leggings as it covers your bum, or jeans, or even tucked into some shorts! It also has some really nice detailing - elbow patches, high neck!
Sorry for the slightly blurry/out of focus photo!
Looking around Primark, I am not too wowed by some of the womens jumpers, but I have been loving some of the mens and will hopefully be going back for some more! All I can say is well done Primark!
Next, the eyebrow penceil! Lots of people on youtube and blogger have been raving about this so I just had to try it out! I got mine in 'dark blonde'
It has a very creamy texture and goes on my eyebrows a dream! However I won't talk too much about it as a full review will be coming soon!
Oooh present time! Now, with me being 15 years old, you may be thinking, "Why on earth has she got her friend a throw/blanket?" Well, I am not entirely sure why she wanted one either, but that's what she asked for and I suppose it's better to get her something she actually wants, rather than something she doesn't!
I got this throw at a great price of £5.00! And it feels like it is actually really good quality! It is real soft, and a great size too!
Next thing is the earrings! Or as Topshop calls them 'ear tunnels'. I think they are for cartilage piercings, which is what she has, so hopefully she will be pleased with this!
I bought these for £7.50 but Topshop is having a really good sale on at the moment so you can get them for just £2.50!!! They are really pretty and look sooo nice! I wish I had got some for myself!
My favourite is the triangle one!
Thank you for reading, and I'd love to hear about what you have all been buying.

EXCITING NEWS - LANA DEL REY

I AM GOING TO SEE LANA DEL REY!!!
image source:google images
That was literally me! The tickets go on sale on the 5th of November, but my sister is on o2 so we got priority tickets and got them a couple of days earlier (Friday). I didn't actually know they were going to be on sale (bad fan, I know) but my gorgeous friend Rachel told me and I can't thank her enough. I'm going to see her at the O2 Apollo, Manchester. You can get full details HERE. I am so excited, and couldn't be happier with life at the moment (well maybe if I could get all the things on my November wishlist) I am going to see her on the 23rd May 2013, which I know, feels like yonks away, but I'm sure the time will fly, as it always does. The tickets were relatively cheap for what I'd actually pay to go and see her, they were only £31.50, which is an absolute STEAL. We got the stalls bit, so hopefully if we arrive early, we will be able to get to the front and be as close to her as possible! Oooh by the way, I'm going with my sister, Sophie, if I didn't already mention.
I'd love to hear if you are going, or if you are going to any concerts soon! Lots of love and thank you for reading! Sorry it's now a beauty/fashion post!

November Wishlist

Mac Pro Sculpting Cream in Copper Beach £17.50 (MAC) found here, Soap & Glory™ Archery™ Brow Tint and Pencil £10.00 (Boots) found here, Khaki Molly Jeggings £35.00 (River Island) found here, Jaidyn Suede Heeled Chelsea Boots £26.99 (missguided.co.uk) found here, Models Own Beetlejuice Nail Polish in 'purple blue' £5.00 (Boots) found here and Knitted Textured Grunge Jumper £36.00 (Topshop) found here.
I think my favourites out of these products would have to be the nail polish and the boots! I think I'll definitely be visiting a Boots store to pick up one of those nail polishes, however, the boots are from Missguided and I'm a bit skeptical about buying shoes online as I have odd feet and sometimes shoes, especially boots, can rub a bit! I will probably get them anyway though, or find some similar! The Mac Pro Sculpting Cream is something I've had my eye on for a while now, along with some products from the Marilyn Monroe Collection, but those products have been sold out in my local stores, and online :(
What products are you wishing for this November? Oooh, I can't believe how fast this year has gone! It is almost Christmas, I could have sworn it was summer yesterday!
