Preview of Dixi's Warrior Collection!

Hey girlies I have something very exciting for you today and keep your eyes peeled for a very exciting free shipping code! Dixi's website is linked at the bottom of this post!

I have some previews of Dixi's extended Warrior Collection, which will be available on the 2nd September ( this Sunday). The collection includes some limited jewellery and vintage pieces and today I'm going to show you my favourite five out of the extended collection!

First up is this beautiful lilac silvery ring! I picked this out because it caught my eye straight away, I think it's a beautiful colour and will work with pretty much every outfit, whether its a sweetheart dress or even with your roughened up leather jacket. I love the twisted silver design around the stone as it's different to other 'plain' stone rings I have recently seen. I think Dixi has got the crystal rings of to a tea! 

Next is this purse/clutch that defiantly lives up to the name of the 'Warrior Collection' with it's browny bronze harware and studs, it defiantly contrasts creamy elegance with  rock chick studs! It's secured by a zip and has a zip on the front too. I love this purse because it could also double up as a small clutch for your nights out!

I don't normally like skulls for some reason however this shiny gold bracelet is a big exception for me! I love how simple the golden band is, which makes it so easy to stack or be a single dainty piece. Either way I think you could where this to toughen up your girly outfit or even to make your rocked up leather outfit a bit more girly! The last thing that I love about this piece is that the skull is unique looking, with its semi-circular eyes, tiny nose and teeth gritted together it's almost kinda of.. sweet!

The fourth item is this arrow bracelet which I also think lives up to the name 'Warrior'! The bracelet is right on trend with the rose gold band and the slip on bracelet design. I would defiantly where this in the day or evening to toughen up my outfit. I think it would go great with a leather jacket and some denim shorts (and tights if it's cold like it is here in the UK) and then maybe paired with some converse to make the outfit casual or chelsea boots to make it more girly!

The last item I choose to share with you girls was this amazing and unique hand armour piece! I don't own a piece like this and I certainly haven't seen anything like this on my travels, but I think the design is so simple but looks amazing. The big cross is directly attached to the 'bracelet' part of the piece and the gorgeous long chain flows from it on to the simple cross sliver ring! It's amazing!

Dixi also sent me something to give only you guys!

I went to town today!

Hye girlies, I went to town today, not with huge amounts of money, but I went with my friend and I got what I wanted and needed! See if you can spot what was on my August wishlist post! Also I'm off camping tomorrow so no posts will be going up until Sunday/Monday because I probably won't be able to get internet access, but I will try!:) Anyway on with the Haul!

First is the Company magazine! Nothing much to say really other than you can get it most places the price varies from £2 -£2.50 so inexpensive I think for a great fun bright fashion lovely mag!

Then I went to New Look and brought a pair of black jeans. They're the soft skinny jeans and they were £14.99. Because they were so cheap I'm going to go back and get a blue pair because these are so comfy and a BIG essential in my wardrobe! I couldn't see these on the website but there are similar ones on there for reasonable prices!

 I have been wanting to try a exfoliating scrub from a drugstore as I haven't tried one before and I have seen many youtuber's use them in in 'everyday skin care routines'. This one is by Neutrogena and was half price in Superdrug costing £2.37. It's a spot stress control daily exfoliating scrub. You can but it here.

The other item I got from Superdrug was my first NYC nail varnish in 'Carrie'd Away'. It cost £1.99 for this nude nail varnish and I'm planning to use it for school as my school don't allow nail varnish! (Stupidest rule ever.) You can buy it here.

Last but definitely not least is this black knitted jumper from Topshop. This Jumper cost £36 and is very oversized so I got it in a smaller size and it was still baggy. I love it! The high neckline means that I can where a shirt underneath and allow the collar to come out, it's also very versatile! You can buy it here.

Thanks for reading guys! I'm pleased with my purchases and I hope you enjoyed seeing what I got. If you would like any reviews on the products I have bought today then just ask in the comments below! Speak to you soon!

3- The 'All For Eve For The Eve Appeal' Eve's balm costs £4.95. It doesn't say where it's from but it does say that it is a balm that it's 'an easily absorbed recovery balm' for dry skin. I have tried this product and it feels really nice on the lips and it doesn't have much of a sent. To visit the website click here.

My August Wishlist

1. Essie nails polish in 'Lollipop' $8. I'm really loving red nail polish this month and I feel like it will be a real staple colour in my nail polish collection as the new season gets closer, not that England as really given us the summer I wished for but hey ho! I have an old gloopy red nail polish but because I feel I'm going to be jazzing up my outfits with a bright red nails in the winter months I can splash the cash and get my first ever essie nail paint! Buy here!

2. Knitted jumper from Topshop £36. I have one big knit jumper which I love but it's the neck line is two low to wear with a shirt and I love that look! This jumper is affordable for a big knit staple piece and I love it because I can already see how versatile it would be to layer up and that's why I feel in love with it straight away and the high neck line made me love it even more! Buy here!

3.ALEXY platform Chelsea boots from Topshop £75. Chelsea boots have been in fashion for a long time now and because I convinced my self to get a pair from Topshop they had sold out completely and never to be seen again! Of course there are look-a-likes but I have never fallen in love with a pair enough to by them. Even those these boots our a lot more that what I would like to pay I really hope they stay in stock by the time I get the money as I can also see these being a comfy fashionable staple in my wardrobe! Buy here!

Collective Haul!

Long time no see haul's! I promise I do go shopping more but I haven't really been shopping and bought alot of things! Oh well I hope you enjoy!

I bought so many earrings in one shop (oops) but anyway! From left to right, the first ones are from Miss Selfridge and were in the sale for £1, I bought two packs as I don't tend to wear odd earrings and they were really cheap! In the pack I got 6 earrings, a hamsa hand, a pink feather, a glitz peace sign, a white stone with gold casing, a cracked pink cross and a gold dimpled triangle! The next picture shows two sets of earrings from Urban Outfitters the first pair are two dainty hamsa hands which I have been wearing non stop! They were £6.00. The other pair are two gold triangles that were in the sale for £3.00 and I think there super cool and they and lines sctratched in them. The last pair you probably won't be able to find as they were from a little shop in Bristol and they were very cheap about £2 I think. They came in many colours but I decided to pick the opposites black and white!

I'm sure you will notice the packaging but if not I went to Lush! I went in to buy the Eau Roma Water which is my favourite toner ever, it's £7.25 for  a large bottle and about £3.00 for a smaller bottle. Lush was giving out free face masks that day as well and I normally go for the Oatafix as it's very moisturizing but I have acne and Cosmetic warrior is designed for spots, and first impressions are ok as it feels great on the skin and also leaves the skin feeling great however I didn't notice a difference with my spots.

   

Borning I know but chuck it in here... blonde hair grips £1.49 and blonde hair bands £1.65 both from boots. Does anyone else loose these all the time?! If you have some cool ways of storing them PLEASEEE let me know in the comments below or tweet me!

This paisley top is from Internacionale and I bought it to go with leggings because I wear them all the time and I needed something that floats and that covers my bum! I love this top it's great colours fit right in with the up coming autumn trend and I'm in love with paisley at the moment without even realising and it was only £12.99!

I have been looking for a maxi dress for ages that smoothly goes over my lumps and bumps, that hangs nicely and has a great print! I found it in Internacionale for originally £19.99 but because of a small fault which I may be able to fix I got £2's off! Nothing more to say except I love this dress!

I saved the best till last! I finally got a pair of All Star ox low black converses and I love them! They were sold out everywhere and Office was the last store I was going to try and they had them in my size! I loved them bought them for £42.99 and I know where them with EVERYTHING! They're so versatile I just adore them, I'm going to wear them to the Olympics on Monday because I'm sure they will be comfortable and stylish!

That's all I have to show you this time I hope you enjoyed looking at my new buys, have you filmed/posted a haul recently? Let me no in the comments below I would love to nose around;)! Speak to you soon! Hannah xoxox

July Glossybox!★

Hello girlies I've set this post out a bit different from past Glossybox posts but I hope you like it! Tweet, comment or/& follow would be very much appreciated, enjoy!

1- This is the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist and a full size bottle will cost £9.35. It's described to 'Give thirsty hair and skin the moisure they crave. Helps you feel refreshed all day long'. I have used this once with wet hair and it didn't really do anything but I'm undecided on whether I like this product or not yet as it's to soon to say!

2- A full sized Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Lip Frosting costs £10.00. The lip frosting is descirbed as ' A multifunctional cream gloss. Use on lips for a tint of colour, or cheeks for a luminous glow.' 

3- This is a small sample size of the Monu Night Renewal Complex and at full size will cost you £36.95. It's 'A rich complex of actives to help smooth and firm the skin whilst you sleep.'

4- Nuxe's Huile Prodigieuse cost's £17.50 for a fullsize bottle. The description says that you should 'Apply this dry oil to your face, body and hair all year round, in summer and winter'. I don't think the description tells you much about the product just what to do with it, so it's not very helpful.

5-A full size bottle of Bex London's Londoner Urban Fragrance cost's £81.00. The description says, 'Four high concentration, modern fragrances, inspired by the unique character and idiosynerasies of London'. It's not clear what one of the four fragrances I received and the scent is strong and not something I'd often go for unfortunately.

6- In this months Glossybox a bonus product came in the box and it was an Elizebeth Arden's Visible Difference Skin Balancing line. 'It works to keep skin looking revitalized and healthy.' 

This months Glossybox was probably the worse box I have recieved just because the products are not what I would normally purchase apart from the lip frosting, but it doesn't matter as the August box will be my last due to need of saving! If your wondering why I don't tell you what I think of the products much it's because I like to show you the products from Glossybox without opening them, but if you wish to see a review on any of the products shown, feel free to tweet or comment below! Thanks for readung, Bye!
