Weekend Seaside Funsies

As I said me and the boyf travelled down to his hometown of Hastings for the weekend to have some fun by the sea :D
It actually turned out to be perfect weather and it didn't rain like our iPhones predicted! Yet again I was a bit rubbish on the photo taking front, I was either having too much fun or a little hungover hehe!

Here we are on the fun train ride down:

Lovely sunny beach :D I love how people just head down to the beach for the day to hangout.

Hastings Pier, in October 2010 it was set alight by vandals and 95% of its structure was destroyed, which is really sad :( Regeneration programmes are being discussed and hopefully it can be saved. I do love a good pier!

Me and the boyf having our traditional Hastings Swirly Ice-Cream- so yummy!

As you can see I am terribly un-photogenic when the sun is shining in my eye and I'm holding an ice-cream! (I had to wear my bobble hat as my hair wouldn't behave and was sticking up all over the place). While in Hastings the boyf had a standup comedy gig which are always funny, we saw lots of his friends and got a little bit drunk ;) We wandered around the old town looking at lovely vintage things and cute and kitsch bits and bobs. We ate SO much food too! We had chinese takeaway, a delicious Saturday night roast made the boy's old flatmate and had lunch at Pizza Express with his Mum and Sister. Oh, and those ice creams ;)

While there I did manage to buy some much needed face powder, I decided on the new Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder in 52 Vanille. I was pretty loyal to my old powder (Bourjois Mineral Radiance Pressed Powder) but I was lured in by the exotic fruit therapy! Yuzu fruit providing anti shine and Sharon fruit providing hydration. I have been really happy with it so far, it's really lightweight so is super easy to apply and it smells like yummy fruit which was a unexpected and nice surprise! It's slim compact bright pink casing (so I won't lose it in the depths of my handbag!) and has a large mirror on the inside too. The only qualm I have is that it doesn't come with a puff applicator like most other Bourjois compacts do, but I just brought a pack of three from Boots for less than £2, so it's not really that bad!

I also bit the bullet and brought the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner, I thought it would be best to get the cheaper one to see how I got on with a gel liner. I had a little go this morning and it seemed to go ok, no crazy lines all over my face :P

Hope you have enjoyed reading about my weekend away, how were your weekends? Full of fun too I hope!

Forever Wishing Wishlist

Thought I would share my top 5 items on my Wishlist at the moment, most of them are way out of my price range, but maybe if I try and save I can get one of them :P

1. Irregular Choice Thank You Very Much Handbag - £89

I have always loved how different Irregular Choice is (I already own a pair of the Dance The Night Away heels) and this bag just looks the perfect size for my all my bits and bob, and I do love a bit of hassle detail!

2. Your Eyes Lie Solar Pencil Dress - £40

I feel like I could wear this dress casually with creepers in the day and then spice it up with shedloads of jewellery for a night out, and I love a dress that's versatile and has a uber cool design.

3. Black Milk Elk Swimsuit - £60.95

How could I not mention almost bloggers favourite brand- Black Milk! I already own a pair of their Galaxy Blue Leggings and I can honestly say there are some of the best leggings I have ever owned! So obviously my next purchase from them has to be a swimsuit and this beautiful elk one has been calling out to me for weeks now...

4. Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner - £5.99

I currently use the Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Liner but find that after a few hours it leaves a smudgy print above my eye, so I'm desperately looking for an eyeliner with more staying power! Has anyone used this eyeliner before and would you say it is a good investment or should I go for a more expensive brand like MAC?

And Finally Number 5! Lotus Speculoos Spread - £5.28

What can I say? This stuff just looks AMAZING! Having this caramely-biscuity spread on toast just sounds like a dream (oh and it's high in Omega 3 so if I eat a whole tub in one sitting I won't feel too guilty :P).

Hope you have enjoyed reading my Wishlist as much as I enjoyed writing it! And if anyone has any advice on my eyeliner predicament I will be super grateful :)

love&'ugs
