Hi there!

This has been such a long time coming seeing as I went to London nearly a month ago! Apologies for that! 

Obviously I couldn't go to London without going shopping! I was going to add it to my previous post but I decided that it would make it to long so here we go!

First off I bought this cute Stag necklace from a stall in Camden Market which was £5.00.

On Oxford Street I went in lots of stores but didn't actually buy from that many. There was a sale on in River Island so I took full advantage of that! 

I got this red varsity t-shirt which was reduced to £7.00. I've become a little obsessed with varsity tops at the moment as they can be worn in so many ways! I would wear this with either jeans for a more tomboy look as it is fairly long but also knotted to the side with a pair of denim shorts.

I also got this orange cropped t-shirt with birds printed on the front, which was also reduced to £7.00. Again I would wear this with jeans or denim shorts or dungarees.

My last item from River Island is these mint brogues with a small wedge heel. I walked past these and just fell in love. At first I was a bit dubious about buying them because I'm tight like that and then I thought what the heck and bought them anyway! They were £20.00 reduced from £45.00 after all!

The next place I visited was Forever 21. Seeing as the only store in Britain is in London I went a bit mad when I went in there! I did get a bit annoyed at first as I loved the denim shorts in there but they all seemed to be ridiculous sizes.
Be that as it may I still got some gorgeous clothes!

This key t-shirt is actually a couple of sizes too big but I didn't mind as it is so nice to wear on a hot day because it isn't tight fitting! It goes really well with jeans and shorts but also looks great tucked into a block coloured skirt. (Sorry I can't find how much it was!)

Next I found this lush mint green jumper with on-trend studded shoulders. It's a perfect summer find as it is a really light fabric that can easily be worn on an overcast day.

I normally have real trouble finding trousers that 1) fit and 2) I like but this pair I fell in love with immediately! I thought the print was unusual for a pair of jeans and so perfect for being a statement garment for an outfit.

The final item I bought in Forever 21 was this cute pair of ice cream patterned - I just couldn't not buy them!

So that's it for my little London Haul, let me know your favourite pieces or how you would wear them! Also comment if you like these sort of posts.

Guest Post | Botanics Eye Make Up Remover Review

Hi Guys, 

Elinor from Little Red here! The lovely Amy asked me to do a guest post for her, whilst she is away, and review a product I have recently tried & tested. 

Us English Roses have just about wilted from this stonker of a heatwave and I don't know about you but my skin has gotten really sensitive with the heat. Removing my eye makeup became utter torture as my normal Simple eye makeup remover seemed to do nothing but sting. 

I spent a long time roaming Boots in search of a saving grace eye makeup remover that would love my sensitive skin. I settled on the Boots Botanics Eye Makeup Remover as it boasted about being all natural ingredients and to have a brightening effect on your eye area. I have bigger bags then your neighbourhood bag lady so I was all over this! It seemed kind to my purse - I hoped it would be just as kind to my eyes! 

I was so wrong. 

You have to shake the product well to combine the ingredients, once I applied it to my eyes my first thoughts were how oily it felt. For me it had no soothing feel instead I felt as though i'd smeared cooking oil on my face. It didn't seem to remove my makeup either, it started to break it down yes (I had to hold the cotton pad over my eyes for a good 2 minutes) but whilst trying to wipe it away it just seemed to smudge down my face. 

It took me a good 5 minutes every time to stop looking like I'd gone three rounds with Tyson, when all my makeup was removed I had a very oily residue to wash off. Instead of a quick job it turned into manual labor! Taking off my makeup became even more of a chore than I already felt it was. 

As you know, water and oil don't really mix that well so to get rid of the residue I had to splash my face 10 times. After the first use, the product got all over the outside of the bottle which meant it was slimy and the labels all started peeling off. I wanted to leave this on my shelf unloved because I didn't even like it. 

I pursued with it however and used it all up, took about a week and a half (which I thought was really poor product lasting time). One that will not be welcomed home in my next Boots haul, beware!
