This Weeks Bargains

Primark - £5 £2

Primark - £1

George - £8

I went shopping yesterday and thought I'd share some of bargains with you! I picked up this collar necklace from Primark after seeing it and loving it on llymlrs blog. It was already a bargain at £5 but when I got to the till I was surprised to find out that it had been reduced to £2! I'm still loving neon and again it'll be perfect for my holiday.

Recently, I've been hearing a lot of praise from my friends on the Primark £1 lashes, so while I was in I decided to buy a pair. I'll be trying them out on Saturday, so I'll let you know what I think. Have you tried them?

My final bargain was a pair of cap toe pumps from George at Asda. I've seen loads about and thought they were cute so was really happy when I found a pair for £8. My sister also got them in baby pink with a rose gold toe.

Have you found any bargains this week?

DIY: Dip-Dye, Studded Shorts

I'm constantly lusting over the shorts from Bambi and Manson, but just can't afford to pay that for a pair of shorts right now as I'm trying to save for Ibiza! Above are a few I got my inspiration from.

The other day my friend Emma tweeted me a pair of dip-dyed, studded shorts she had made using an old pair of jeans. You can have a look at them here (hers are cooler than mine). So, I looked through all my jeans and came across a pink pair from Primark that I never wear and decided to try it.

What you need:

• A pair of old jeans/shorts
• Fabric scissors
• Bleach (I just used my mums kitchen bleach)
• A paint brush
• Rubber gloves
• Studs (ebay £1.15)

Step 1: Try on your jeans and decide how much you want to cut off, cut off the legs using a pair of fabric scissors.

Step 2: Fill up a basin with bleach (make sure you're wearing gloves so you don't burn your hands) and dip the bottom of the shorts in.

Step 3: Using a paint brush, blend the bleach up to create the faded effect

Step 4: Leave the shorts to soak on the draining board for an hour

Step 5: Rinse the shorts and put them in the washing machine to wash off the excess bleach

Step 6: Once the shorts are dry, attach the studs in a pattern of your choice. You just push the studs through the fabric and press closed the edges to attach them. I used a pair of tweezers as it's quite sore on your fingers.

And that's it, your own pair of dip-dyed, studded shorts for £1.15, bargain. 

What do you think of the finished shorts? What DIY have you tried?

Soleil Tan De Chanel

I'm finally doing my review on my new Soleil Tan De Chanel, or more commonly known as Chanel Universal Bronzer. I'd wanted to try this bronzer for so long and got really jealous when my sister bought it, but she surprised me and bought me it as a graduation present a few weeks later- how nice?! 

I'd never tried a mousse/cream bronzer before, I usually stick with powder bronzers such as MAC Matte Bronze or NARS Laguna, so I was a bit reluctant as I didn't think it would apply well to my oily skin. I was really surprised to see how well it applied and blended in, giving me a lovely glow without leaving me looking shiny. It has a lovely creamy texture and a little goes a long way, you don't need to use a lot.

 I apply this product in two different ways depending on how I'm feeling; if I want to look more tanned (usually for a night out) I apply it all over my face but for a more subtle look I use it as a contour on my temples, cheekbones and jaw line. I apply it after my foundation then set it with my Chanel Universal Loose Powder as I've got quite oily skin. It can also be applied before foundation as a bronzing base.

To apply the product I use my MAC 187 Duo Fibre brush, but I'm thinking about buying the Real Techniques Core Collection and using Buffing Brush as it's slightly smaller. My sister uses her Real Techniques Contour Brush to apply it so I'll have to try that as well.

This product costs £30 and can be purchased at Chanel counters or online here. Personally, I love this product and would definitely recommend it if you want to treat yourself or maybe get it as a gift. I've been using it for a few weeks now and as you can see I've hardly made a dent in it so I think it will last for ages!

What do you think of this product, have you tried it?
