Random Blog... 

So I haven't posted in a while but today since I got the day off uni (as I'm sick) and I'm the biggest procrastinator when it comes to uni assignments I figured I'd do a random blog. 

For those of you who don't know I'm studying a Media, Marketing and PR course at my first year of uni, and although I'm loving uni. I have to say my PR module is killing me! I have the nicest teacher however he tends to go off topic ALOT and finds it more useful to bore us with his personal life information which as entertaining as it is, i've been doing my course for around 8 months now and am not really sure what exactly I'm studying about (in that particular module). Do any of you feel that way about your studies?

So, so far i've done nothing much its around 14:41pm UK time and i've been up for a couple of hours. I made a few eBay purchases, which I will share with you once they arrive! I've also brought a couple of nail polishes and shampoo (which was a repurchase) which I will also share tomorrow (assuming my delivery arrives today) from either Feel Unique, or Look Fantastic (not too sure I always get them confused). Either way i was beyond disappointed to find that they have removed their 10% student discount option which they used to have through UNIDAYS if you haven't already joined then you defiantly should especially as it's free! 

I'm thinking to sell a couple of things on eBay too however just can't seem to work out how to do it, so until I do I've got a pile of clothes and beauty products sitting in a box on my floor. If any of you know how I do set it up please let me know! 

I think thats all for now, 

Hopefully I'll be back with a post for you all tomorrow!

Have a good day X

Merry Late Christmas + Hair Removal?

Merry late Christmas + Hair Removal?

Now I'd like to wish you all a late Merry Christmas and hope you got everything you wanted. As well as apologise for my absents. 

So the point of this post you wonder? Well it's hair removal; now I'm not overly hairy however I do have access hair and I'm not talking the type you can't see therefore this year I wanted to try a home hair removal system to see how it works. 

Now before I brought the Me powered by Elos technology home hair removal system, I spent days looking at professional as well as store reviews, however was disappointed to find no blog post on it. So after about 40hours of research I decided on this one, now although it did cost over £300 I used my Boots card so ended up making about £80 back in Boots points. It looks like the below insert

Now I have to say when buying a home hair removal system don't expect instant results, I've done 3 treatments (one per week as advised, with claimed "permanent hair removal by week 7") Now I dont see complete hair removal happening by week 7 as much as I wish that was true, however I have noticed a difference in the speed of hair growth, as well as noticing some empty patches. 

How I use it you ask? Well personally I shave first, however I would probably advice you wax or epilate just so that the time between hair growth last longer. Then you set up your system a card comes with so that you can estimate which strength of pulse to use, it pretty self explanatory. However if you want any more information just let me know? I will also be doing an update at week 7 to let you know how accurate their claims are?

Well hope you have a good day Boxing day, atleast whats left of it. Did you line up for hours to grab yourself a sale item??

Speak to you soon

Nothing Exciting

Nothing Exciting

Now I know I've been gone a while, which considering I've only posted 5 times isn't a good sign. However i've just been underwhelmed and not wanting to spend money recently, not to mention that I've been swarmed with uni work; which isnt fun :(...

So what I have brought recently incase your wondering (which isnt fun, so dont hold your breath) ... I've brought a book related to one part of my course, which is the David Jobber Principles & Practice of Marketing 6th Edition which cost me £50 :O I know, ALOT right? I was left speechless in Waterstones but alas, its something I require.

So if any of you are doing a Marketing course, or anything course for that fact which required you to purchase a over priced book, let me know how it's going? 

Also, Im going to Oxford street on Sunday, and am thinking to buy the Michael Kors MK5505 I think, so let me know your opinions on that? Or any other Michael Kors which is gold and slightly "man looking"... 

Speak to you all soon, and hope you had a good week.

I'm back with a post for you!

I'm Back! 

Well I got back on Monday morning, but same difference right? 

Ok so while I was away I took a couple of pictures which I thought were fairly cool. And then I also brought a few things from duty-free which if you scroll down, I'll tell you all about with a small review. 

These were pictures stuck to the floor outside Cologne Station

This is a picture i took on the train to one of my meetings, there was locks stuck on the safety bar for around 1 mile. All different colours which i thought was pretty cool and alot of locks

Next were these two men who I passed every morning, walking through the Dom

This is a picture of the Dom which has something like 1,200+ stairs (Not fun to walk up, Trust me!)

Next is my little lizard friend, who sat behind me in a Shisha place called the Relax Lounge, great service,  good variety of shisha, and nice vibe. 

Next for the Reviews, I brought a couple of stuff from Duty-free...

First was the Germany Collection from OPI which seemed only right, since I was going to Germany and the colours seemed very me. However I have to say, I'm not too impressed :(... I'm not sure if it's because I brought the Minis, but I just found the consistency was streaky, but maybe thats just becuse of the brush. So now I'm back I'll try it with a different brush and maybe a different under coat, and let you know. 

Below is a picture, and if you got any ideas on how it would apply better let me know?

(Left to Right) Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine!, Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue, Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs, My Very First Knockwurst
Once I figure out how to make it apply better on the nail, I'll provide you a "on the nail" picture.

Next Is a Magazine. Now although I dont like InStyle as a magazine, I do love when they have the free Benefit tint, and highlight samples. Which is exactly what they were going this month so, I picked up the Sun Beam one only because they didnt have the others in stock. Meaning if your in the UK its something I'd look out for! 

Another 2 things I brought were a YSL lip colour and nail vanish.
The lip colour I brought was in number 6, its a peachy orange shade, kind of like a stain rather then a lip stick (sorry don't know the official term for it.) The packaging is Lovely, I think the whole black and gold with red logo looks very chic, however the applicator is a a kinda material doe-foot applicator, which I like doe-foot applicators, I just usually prefer when there fully plastic, as in theory to me that makes them alittle more hygienic :|

Lip stain No. 6. Now this colour isn't for everyone so I advice you try it out first

Now the nail vanish is No.1 Rouge Pop Art, and I only brought this because it looked amazing on the sales assistant. However unfortunately I think I'm too pale for it at the moment. So I'm going to try wearing it after I fake tan, and see how I feel about it then, wise ebay it is... Do you know any nice reds that look nice on pale skin??

YSL No.1 Rouge Pop Art, this is two coats incase you were wondering

I've 1 more thing, but thats also a pretty long post and I've got a uni assignment to do for tomorrow :s... So hope you've all had a good day, and I'll blog some other time

Anyway after posting the ASOS belt I wanted, I find out my brother did pick up the hint and actually get it for me :D. So just for you I have an OTD (what I wore to Germany, keep in mind I had to go to a meeting as soon as I arrived, I'm usually a travel in sweats kinda girl.)

So below is some images of what I wore inc. My new belt, as well as the jacket, and black snood featured in yesterdays blog...

Leather mix jacket: Zara, Legging: H&M, Boots: Random shop in (Stratford Westfield)

Nails: Topshop, Ring: River Island

Grey mix jumper: Pull & Bear, Belt Asos

Yes, I actually have a "buy" related post...

Yes, I actually have a "buy" related post...

Now I know my blogs called Becca's Buys and so far I've failed to post a 'what I brought'. However that changes today! 

So after a stressful, long and a few other words which I fail to think of right now, day at uni. I poped to Oxford street to try and change that. So without further anticipation of what I actually brought, here it is...

(Now before you get all excited thinking I'm going to have loads, I only brought 3 things) 

First is a leather (faux, i think) and woven jacket mix (which if you read my last post you know I'm loving different textures)

It was around £70/80 I think but for the quality and different way you can wear it, I would definitely say it's worth it!

Second and Third (since they are the same thing, just different colours.) I made a trip to Primark as I forgot my scarf and it was freezing, and ended up getting two snoods. Which were only £5 each and very good quality, especially when compared to a Topshop one I saw which was almost identical priced at £16 is a good deal!

On the left is a black snood, and on the right is a wine colour

Now although I'd love to stay and blog, I got to go pack as I'm off to Germany for two days with work!I'm going to cologne so if any of you know any places I should see while I'm there let me know?

Night X

Random Blog...

Now I do realise my blogs called Becca's Buys but to be honest, my wallet just can't keep up with how much I would like to spend. Soo until I do get round to *coughing up the cash* and actually treating myself here's a few things I've had my eye on... 

First is the ASOS belt which I first spotted on Laura's http://www.buynowbloglater.com

Image borrowed from ASOS

Now it is something I've dropped a couple of pretty obvious hints to my brother on; and by obvious I literally mean sent him the link and my size. So hopefully I'll be receiving that soon.


Item 2: Would have to be would have to be these beautiful paid of heels from Miss Selfridges

Image borrowed from Miss Selfridges (If I actually buy the shoe I'll replace the image with my own!)

I just love how there kinda like a more military style Jeffrey Campbell. As well as the buckle and lace up detail (but also that theres a zip on the side, which makes taking them off soo much easier!) Also loving the contrast of material between suede and leather and just for £65 which after you deduct my 10% student discount work out to be just: £58.50
Maybe if they ever have a 20% offer it will be a for sure buy, but till then I'll just be in aww (not sure about the spelling) till then. 

Well I'm off to bed now so Night for now
