ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi,
I started LouiseSprinkles in April (but deleted them posts so it's looks like I started in May) and I always thought that was going to be my main blog. However, the last few weeks I have been doing a lot of thinking and I thought that I should start a new blog, to replace this one, my trial and error one.
So now I've created a new blog The Lipstick Insider. It's going to be the same as LouiseSprinkles but better content. I've planned some really exciting content which is different to what I've posted on here in the past.
You will still be able to come back and read this but I'm kinda going to neglect this blog; I'm going to be based on The Lipstick Insider. 
I'm really sorry if I've upset you as it's not a nice thing to see (I'm talking about you LouiseSprinklesFan Nicha).
I talk more over there on the welcome blog post so I recommend you go and read that.
See you over there,
Louise

The Random Post

Hi,
Because I feel like I haven't uploaded in ages, which I haven't, I thought I would do one big, long, random post featuring: A Random Haul, Music Loves, and A Mini Q&A.
I hope you don't find this as the things aren't long enough to do separate blog posts on so I thought I'll mix it all together.
Get comfy and lets get started!!!
 
 
First of all I'm going to start with the mini haul. It's only Primark and Tesco as I done most of my shopping at the beginning of the school holidays (COLLECTIVE HAUL HERE). This definitely isn't the most interesting haul as it's pyjamas, toiletries and stationary but I thought you might like to see it.
 
 
 
As you probably know I love minions (like SO MUCH) so I knew I was going to get something Minion-related. I only got this top as there was no suitable Minion bottoms- I'll show you them next. This top is kinda cool as on top (the white half) feels like a polo shirt but the bottom half feels like a jumper. I've been wearing this for the last couple of days and it's really comfy.
This is from Primark and it was £8. I got mine in a size Small (UK 6-8).
 
 These are the bottoms I got for the minion top above. I think they do match a little as they're both black and white. I love the style of these as they're cropped leg so they're like Hareem trousers which I absolutely adore. These also have pockets- I don't know why but I find that so cool however when will you need pockets when sleeping???
Again this is from Primark and it was £6. It's in XS (6-8)
 
This pyjama jumper is the most cutest thing ever!!! Pugs are my favourite breed of dog and Primark have so many pug-related stuff and pyjamas so I'm a happy pug! I got this one for the winter as sadly summer is drawing in and before we know it the days will get shorted and Strictly will be back on our screens.
This is from Primark and it was £7. Sizing is the same.
 
I really wanted to get the matching bottoms for the top however they only had them in Medium and Large- they might have had a Small but I couldn't really see as they were so high up! Even though they don't match, it doesn't really matter as no-body will be seeing them. I also love the little bow; I'm a sucker for bows.
This is from Primark and it was £6. Sizing is 6-8.
 
I love baths (especially bubble baths) as they're just so relaxing and I love watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians in it. I've tried the Along Came Betty bath soak before and it is really good although I did try the peach-y, apricot-y scent.
As you can tell I've already used nearly half the 500ml bottle because I always put too much in. I can report back saying this stuff is absolutely gorgeous and makes loads of bubbles!
This is from Tesco and it was on offer for £1.99 (usual price £3.99)
 
This is the matching body lotion to the bath soak above and I can say this is also really nice. They are both in the scent Very Berry and although it smells like yoghurt in the packaging, once applied it actually smells really nice. You get so much product with this (500ml) so it's going to last me ages.
This from Tesco and    it was on offer for £1.99 (usual price £3.99).
 
I'm very lazy when it comes to my hair but to stop it from getting greasy or if I'm finally having a good-hair day, I will use dry shampoo. My favourite brand is Batiste because it's always highly recommended and they have some really nice scents; this one is in Fruity and Cheeky Cherry. I got the 200ml can.
I got mine in Tesco and it was £1.99 on offer.
 
The last few months I have been loving white nails (which is definitely down to AlishaMarie) and I didn't actually have any so I needed to get some. I chose to get Barry M because they're cheap but really good quality. I have worn it and it was gorgeous- next nail polish I'm getting is a black one!!!
I got mine from Tesco and it was £2.99
 
Only 2 more things to go!
The last 2 things are stationary. I love stationary- I have way too many pens and it's a problem. I got a new pack of these as I had them before and I had them for over 2 years. Over that period of time I lost 2 and several are starting to fade so I got a new pack. I use these at homes to write things in my blogging notebook.
I got my pack in Tesco and they were on offer for £1.50
 
I seriously have a problem with Sharpies- I bloody love them! I already have the 24 pack with every colour under the sun (and all of them still work perfectly) but being me I got the pack with all of the essential colours in. These are going to go in my main pencil case for like revising whilst my other ones will be in my bag for special occasions. 
Quick Tip- If you want some Sharpies get them from Tesco NOW as all stationary is 1/2 price (the 24 pack is £9).
Mine are from Tesco and they were on offer for £5,
 
Now I'm going to be sharing with you my favourite songs at the moment. I personally think that there is not many good songs out at the moment so I don't have enough to do a whole post on. I have 3 and lets get started!!
 
Don't Be So Hard On Yourself- Jess Glynne
This is my favourite song at the moment and I think I know pretty much every word. Jess Glynne is an amazing British singer and I've loved all of her songs- I know her album will be brilliant. This song is so good and it has a really good message, something a lot of popular songs don't have.
 
Drag Me Down- One Direction
Sadly there's no music video yet so I put above a live performance of the song. To be honest I have never been a fan of One Direction but I really like their new song Drag Me Down- I don't know if I'm going to like their music now Zayn's gone but I like this one. However, I won't be becoming a Directioner any time soon.
 
New Romantics- Taylor Swift
It was really hard to find this song to put above and I'm not even sure if this one has audio #firstworldproblems. I am a big Taylor Swift fan- she has some amazing songs and her live performances are always out of this world. I really want New Romantics to be released as a single but I don't think that will be happening :(
 
Now onto the Q&A. I've chosen 7 questions that might reveal something new about!
Lets get started!
 
1. What's your favourite dessert?
I love any dessert as I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world and I'm not even joking. My top 3 favourites would be cheesecake, ice-cream and cake.
Having said that I really want to put brownies on that list...
 
2. Favourite pizza topping?
Sorry if I'm making you hungry as I know I am!
My favourite pizza would be a BBQ base with chicken, green pepper, red onion and sweetcorn with a cheesy stuffed crust!
 
3. What did you do for your last birthday?
I had a meal at Frankie & Benny's and then I went shopping the Saturday afterwards (my birthday was a Monday).
 
4. What did you want to be when you was younger?I wanted to be a hairdresser but I don't want to now; I have no clue what I want to be when I'm older.
 
5. How often do you paint your nails?
As we're currently in the summer holidays I have been painting hands and feet once a week and top-ups if my fingernails need them. During school I paint my toes every Sunday.
 
6. Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr?
I don't use Instagram. I find Tumblr incredibly boring and I love Twitter so much so this question was a no-brainer for me.
 
7. Do you wear the same clothes twice?
I always wear the same clothes! I don't understand why you would buy something to wear it once and that's something coming from a girl who loves shopping!
 
I really hope you enjoyed this and if you did let me know
See you soon,
Louise
