How much does your face cost?

I saw this on sprinkle of glitter and thought it might be fun (and interesting) to do!  Hopefully I won't be in for too much of a shock!  So without further ado, let's see how much my face costs!


Basically, I'm going to list all the products I use, then add the total up (and probably be embarrassed about it)

Skin care
Basic Nivea moisteriser - £1.40
Clean & Clear exfoliating daily wash - £3.20
Clean & Clear dual action moisteriser - £2.99
Boots Skin Clear spot gel - £5.10
SKIN CARE TOTAL -  £12.69

Face 
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream - £7.99
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer - £3.99
Collection 2000 Cover-up Stick - £4.99
FACE TOTAL - £16.97

Eyes
Topshop liquid eyeliner - £5.00
Maybelline Great Lash mascara - £4.99
17 Va va voom Mascara - £6.29
EYES TOTAL - £16.28

Lips
Vaseline Lip Therapy - £1.99
Vaseline Rosy Lips - £1.99
LIPS TOTAL - £3.98

TOTAL - £49.92

I'm actually really shocked!  I never really thought all the things I use on a daily basis would add up to almost fifty pounds!  That's actually pretty embarrassing, and compared to a lot of people, I don't even wear a lot of make up!

flatform craving

I'm pretty tall, so I don't really need any help from a pair of shoes when it comes to the height side of things, but lately I've been completely obsessed by flatforms.  I'm not entirely sure whether it's a sensible purchase for the likes of myself, already being taller then most of my friends, but I saw these:

£45 - Urban Outfitters

I became totally smitten, and I'm thinking they might be a pair of shoes I can put on to make an outfit more interesting, since I usually live in my Dr Marten boots or just flat pumps.  They're a little more edgy than I usually go for, so I think it'd be nice to have something a bit more exciting in my shoes collection!

Also, I'd just like to say thank you for all the lovely comments on my first post!  I followed everybody back and thanks for checking out my blog!

Much love, Ella xxx

Wishlist #1

This is my first ever proper post on this blog (eek)!  So for my first post, I thought I'd do a wishlist.


background from Cath Kidston

Dress - H&M (£6.49)
Shoes - Daisy Street Shoes (£20.99)
Nail Varnish - Topshop (£6.00)
Ring - Topshop (£8.50)
Shorts - Topshop (£32.00)

Here's just a few things that really catch my eye.  As you can probably tell from this, I wear a lot of black, mainly because I find it goes with a lot of different colours and styles, so it's really easy to wear.  I totally fell in love with the shoes!  They look pretty similar to these charlotte olympia flats, which are so beautiful, but quite a long way out of my budget!  I really love wearing rings, and I think the chimp ring is adorable.  The nail polish is also really cool, I love how it has such a mixture of colours.  

As for actually introducing my blog properly, I'm going to be fashion(ish) type posts, like OOTDs and things that catch my etc.

It'd be really lovely if you followed me, and I'll probably follow you back, since I hardly follow anyone at the moment!

See you next time - Ella xxx
