MUA Lipstick in Shade #13
When I first heard about the brand MUA I wasn't sure whether to try their products or not until I was persuaded by one of my friends. At first I thought because I hadn't heard too much about them and because most of their products cost only £1 that the quality wouldn't be very good, but I was wrong.
I also own a blusher and bronzer from MUA but my favourite of their collection so far has to be this lipstick. I remember seeing a couple of reviews on this little beauty back when I first started blogging at the end of the summer, I kept going back to Superdrug to buy it but because it was never in I ended up ordering it online. A bonus to this lipstick which you don't see on many is the little pot at the bottom which is a lip gloss! I don't tend to use this myself but I think that's because I forget it's there and because the lipstick already looks great as it is.
Here is a swatch of the lipstick. It's a lovely red-orange and is wearable all times of the year. In the summer the sun seems to pick out these orange tones more and it's still a nice acceptable red to wear in the autumn/winter too. It's shade 13 from the collection and available from Superdrug, here although it seems to be out of stock at the moment or discontinued which I really hope it isn't!
And here it is on. I really like it and think it's one of my favourite lipsticks. Especially when it is only £1, I can't wait to try out some of their other shades.

The Collar and Jumper Combo
Being a full-time student I'm often picking out different outfits to wear each day. Sometimes there are those lazy days but when I do actually make an effort to dress nicely for uni I've come to realise that wearing shirts or blouses underneath jumpers are one of my favourite things to wear. Here are two of these outfits which I've worn lately...
This is an ASOS shirt with a Topshop jumper, I love the detail of the zip in the collar and the bright jumper which also has the hints of white in it.
This outfit is one of my favourites and I managed to get both the jumper and blouse and even the necklace from Primark. I love the colour of the shirt and the detail on the jumper, which I remember a few years ago I managed to buy in the sale for only £2!
Which one do you prefer?

My Topshop Wish List
Every month I try to post at least one wish list, usually a monthly mix of some of the things I've had my eyes on recently. I thought I'd mix it up a little bit this month however and base this wish list on one store, Topshop! They have so many nice things in at the moment and although I know I won't be buying most of these if any at all because, well, it's been a long time since I last received my student loan to say the least. My favourite's have to be the shoes and the playsuit, perfect for the sun when it finally decides to stay here for longer than a day in the UK!
What are you lusting after this month?

What's in my Bag?
I've been wanting to do the 'What's in my bag?' post for a while now and recently I've seen quite a few of these posts so I finally made time to sort through my bag and take the photo's. I always find these posts aren't as fun as they are on YouTube when they find things they forgot they had or were surprised to find in their bags, but nevertheless I hope you enjoy this post despite not including the pile of receipts I found...
Here's my bag, it's the structured tab bag from Accessorize which I did a review on a while back which you can read here.
First up are the main things in my bag which are my River Island purse, I'd wanted one of these for a while and finally I was given this one for Christmas which I love. I also have my diary which I take to uni every day to write down any important dates and notes and also my pencil case which I also use for uni.
I also carry with me some gloves and an umbrella for the lovely British weather we have here. Alongside a mini hairbrush, body spray, hand sanitizer, The Snowman tissues, ibuprofen and two hand creams although I'm not sure why there's two!
This small mirror in it's trinket bag comes in handy a lot as well as the Vaseline, although lately I've been thinking about using a different lip balm so if you have any favourites/recommendations let me know!
In one of the inside pockets I keep my University student card, some of my current favourite lip products (Rimmel's Kate lipstick in 107 and a Collection 2000 lip stain) and a pen and some airwaves.
And lastly in the zipped inside pocket I keep quite a few random things, another lip product (this time a Ted Baker lip crayon which I love), a couple of pens, headphones and soothers, energy sweets/tablets and a random lonely vimto chewy and an almost empty bar of chocolate.
I hope you enjoyed reading this 'What's in my bag' post, I've now realised myself how many random things I keep in there!

Primark Haul
The past couple of times I've been into Primark I've actually seen quite a few things I like. So, without spending too much (which is easier than it sounds in Primark) I thought I'd treat myself and buy a few bits and pieces.
The first thing that really caught my eye (and was also the reason why I went back) was this blouse which was £9. I've started to have a thing for collars lately and I also really like the neutral colour. I think it can be worn in a work environment as well as being dressed down with some jeans and a jumper.
This top was in the sale for £3 down from £7 which I think is an absolute bargain. I wore this for the first time the other day with leggings, a black string top underneath it and a long cardigan and I was really impressed with it, I can't believe how cheap I managed to get it for.
Lastly are some cute Barbie socks which I really like, (I'm all for fun socks) and this gold and mint green statement necklace. These necklaces also look really good with a nice collar and jumper and I think they can make a whole outfit look so much better.
Have you picked anything nice up from Primark lately?
