Haul - Bobbi Brown, Illamasqua, Pull and Bear, TKMaxx

After my not so happy last post this proves that shopping can make you happy! At least a little bit right?

I decided to take myself to Liverpool and this is what I came home with. I will link where you can get everything at the bottom :)

So impressed with this so far! I have always had dark under eye circles and this product is the best I have found for hiding them!

Very creamy product and was a tad worried it would crease a lot which it does unless I put a translucent powder on.

2 Blushes, 2 Eyeshadows and a pallet for it all to go in for a tenner! Yes please!

Top left Bella, Bottom left, Berry Brown, Top right Flush, Bottom right Rose Shine

Love this colour! And the fabric is soooo soft!

I couldn't resist getting this tank top!

My first every 'collar' purchases! I know.. where have I been right!

I lost my best friend...Alfie the Beagle

If you have or have had a dog you will know where Im coming from! Some may say 'it's just a dog' but I say he was my best mate!

Our dog Alfie was only 8 years old and so suddenly he passed away on the 19th June 2012. It all happened so quickly and noone was expecting it. It is hard to say what was wrong with him because even the vets were baffled but it was likely he drank some sort of toxin or had eaten something that had been put down in public that was not doggy friend! As much as your cant watch every little thing your dog does PLEASE be aware of what they are eating or drinking when out and about!

I knew I would be upset by losing him but didnt think it would hurt this much. He was part of our day to day life and now the routine has changed.

This blog post is mainly for my family..to remember the good times we had with Alf and to share a few nice and silly pictures of him. (This is only a pinch of them!) He was a well loved dog and had the best life a dog could have!
