Sorry ASOS!

I made a fairly large ASOS order in the January sales.. It came in four different sections but unfortunately less than half of my haul got a permanent home in my wardrobe as I sent most of it back! I really do have the mentality when online shopping that the more I order the better, then, when it all comes I create a kind of shop in my own home and pick which ones I actually like.. fun for me but not so great for ASOS sales I guess! So here is what I bought:

ASOS Trousers with Elastic Ankle Detail - Wine red

Returned
I was looking foreward to these but the material was so static I just couldnt bear it!


ASOS Ankle Grazer Skinny Trousers - Coral 

Returned
Too small *over indulgant christmas*

ASOS High Shine Disco Pants - Black

Returned
The material is quite thick yet all my lumps and bumps showed through?!! I wasn't quite prepared for that..

ASOS Skater Dress in Rib with V-Front - Cream

Keeper
Yes my first keeper... can't wait to wear this in the office, just need to wait until spring...

Influence Checked Midi Dress With 3/4 Sleeves

Keeper
I love this! Its not executed the best and looks a little more scruffy than in the picture but this is great to wear to the pub with jeans and boots


Traffic People Palm Guitar Print Tea Dress - Black 

Returned
This is such a fun dress but I'm quite small and I felt like this swamped me a little

Club L Lace Skater Dress with Belt - Berry

Keeper
Theres nothing special about this, but there was nothing wrong with it either so I kept it!

ASOS Forever T-Shirt - Light blue

Keeper
I love this, it's just a baggy T-Shirt but it is so flattering - great for a casual day look and I'm lucky enough to be able to wear casual clothes to the office


Vila Striped T-Shirt With Pocket - Pink/white

Returned
See through - way too see through

ASOS Cropped Cami Top with V Neck - Mint

Returned
This was such an optomistic purchase considering I dislike showing my arms and stomach! 



ASOS CAPITAL CITY Knee High Boots - Black

Returned
I accidently bought 2 pairs in the same size; a size too small...



ASOS CLOUD Calf High Boots - Cognac

Returned
These were so tight but made my feet look huge... bad combo


Truffle Chunky Lace Up Ankle Boots - Chestnut

Keeper
Really comfy, I have even walked the dog up a hill in these


Yumi Bag With Heart Tag - Nude

Returned
Teeny tiny, I couldnt even fit my purse in!


ASOS Bow Satchel Bag - Coral 

Returned
I really liked this but when I tried it on I felt it was too girly for me; I wish I'd ordered the grey or blue versions


ASOS Scallop Trim Satchel Bag - Black

Returned
A little too small


New Look Vera Double Flap Satchel - Grey

Keeper
The winner of the bags! Its not as sturdy as I'd like but a good looking bag none the less

Festive Ugly Christmas Jumper Patches x10

Keeper
Next year I am creating my own christmas jumper! Always good to be prepared!



So as you can see not a lot survived but all of it brought me a lot of joy! Hooray for sales!

Copper Tresses

I bought this yesterday:

Yes I want orange hair! Or copper to be more precise; and how could I not when this is what I'm shown when I type copper hair into google:

Ah Blake Lively how I love your hair (and your husband), unfortunately my hair is dark brown which is not reccomended on the back of the box.. but I'm going to try it anyway, such a rebel! Fingers crossed!

The Skincare Diaries (Entry 2)

It's been 2 weeks (ish) and so I thought I'd give a bit of an update to my skincare trial; in all honesty the first thing I noticed was a breakout in week 1.. now I can't in all fairness blame the products seeing as I treated my skin pretty badly over the festive period, so I did give these another chance and my skin is now as clear as it normally is (which is not completely blemish free!)  First impressions though:

Roc Retin-ox intensive anti-wrinkle night cream:
The roc is a little drying at first, I expected this from a retinol based product which is why I decided to use it with a serum. 

Dr. Organics Snail Gel Facial Serum
The snail gel serum however is very moisturising but with an extremely strong smell! It smells like lemongrass and it's not nessecarily bad but I do worry people can smell it on me. I've noticed that my skin is nicely soft and moisturised so long as I use the serum with the cream but not much else has happened so far. I am hoping that the serum isn't reducing the effect of the retinol; the main thing I want is to firm up the skin in my forehead and reduce the fine lines around my eyes and nose, but maybe I'm asking too much!
