HUGE PRETTY UK & US STATIONERY HAUL

February 5, 2015 in LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

I am a pretty stationery addict, and i’m particularly loving cute kawaii-style (kawaii means pretty, cute or loveable in Japanese) bits at the moment. In the last couple of weeks, i’ve bought quite a large amount of new stationery, so I thought i’d do a haul post. Some are from UK stores, some are from the US/Canada and some are Korean or Japanese buys from Ebay. I’m going to mostly let the photos do the talking, as these bits and pieces are a dream to look at.

I got this slim black typewriter diary from UK supermarket Tesco. It is a week per double page spread, and was a bargain at just £2. I thought it was apt for me since I spend my days writing. On it, i’ve put one of my Kate Spade Bow Paperclips- these are pricey for paperclips (at £12.95/$12.95 for 12) but oh so worth it due to how pretty they are. You can get these paperclips in the UK from Selfridges, or in the US from the Kate Spade site.

I adore these cake roll pens. They are so cute, and are black ink rollerballs. I got them from online store Made To Charm; which specialises in kawaii stationery. They are on $1.99 each; but they only ship to the US and Canada. My super-cute French macaron erasers are also from Made To Charm, and a set of 5 costs $4.50. If you are in the UK, you can search on eBay for these, and you will find some; although they will cost you more.

As a social media-junkie, these Twitter-themed tweet sticky notes make me squeal with delight. As does that cute little piggy, whose t-shirt sticky notes say ‘Be Happy!’. I got both of these really cheap (less than £2 each delivered) on eBay UK; both posted from UK-based sellers. The elegant blue crown mechanical pencil is a US buy from the Made To Charm site for $1.99 each.

I finally gave in to the Washi tape phenomenon, and got some for myself. The multi-coloured hearts Washi tape, and the camera Washi tape is from a UK Etsy seller Bonbons Kawaii, and both together posted cost £5. I also got some masking tape stickers; which is effectively sheets of pre-cut Washi tape in lots of different pretty patterns. These were a US/Canada buy from Made To Charm, for $4.50 for the pack.

These stickers could perhaps be my favourite thing of all. They are tiny little cosmetics and skincare stickers, exactly like famous and coveted brands’ designs except for slight name and logo changes. The little Benefit ‘Cha Cha Tint’ and ‘Posie Tint’ dupes, and the tiny pretend ‘Nars’ lip pencils are so cute. These were another UK eBay purchase, at £2.28 delivered (again from a UK-based seller).

I also picked up some pretty postcards from UK stationery store chain Paperchase, which would be great both to send to people and to frame as gallery wall art. They are only 60p each.

These are more purchases from Paperchase- another two 60p postcards, and a beautiful set of colourful bow push pins (£2.00). These have replaced the boring gold tacks on the cork noticeboard at my desk.

These are more goodies from US/Canadian kawaii stationery site Made To Charm. I adore this little decorating correction tape ($2.50- it works the same way as Tippex tape, except instead of covering something up, it makes a pretty pattern of ladybirds and bumblebees. Adorable! The Paris scene notebook is $7.99 (which is a bit too expensive for such a thin and flimsy notebook in my opinion), and the ‘Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow’ notebook is $5.99.

Finally, I picked these pastel Sharpies up as an impulse buy in UK supermarket chain Asda, as they were reduced from over £3 to just £1.95. That’s a good price for 4 Sharpie permanent markers, and they are ever so pretty. Look in the stationery section next time you are in, and see if the deal is still on.

Have you bought any new stationery recently?

{PR giftAD} Time for my #friyayfaves (# by @the__g {PR giftAD} Time for my #friyayfaves (# by @the__glow__girl) that are on my face! I have honestly fallen head over heels in love with the new @paiskincare The Impossible Glow Hyaluronic Acid & Sea Kelp Bronzing Drops & the new @fentybeauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint!  I never thought I would find a base that I love as much as my ride or die Bare Minerals CC Complexion Rescue, but the new Fenty Eaze Drop is dreamy. Such a light & thin formula but it really evens out your skin & neutralises redness and it’s buildable from light to medium coverage. Really hydrating too.  I am so pale, even in summer. I use the tiniest amount of facial tan mixed in with my skincare, just to warm my skin up a tad and stop me looking ghostly. I rarely bronze though as it’s hard to find one that totally works for my pale skin. These PAI glow drops are INSANELY GOOD though! As thin and hydrating as water and you can really layer it up or leave it so sheer. They do not disturb any of your base (I don’t know how but it’s an AMAZING formula) and they give a natural warm glow. In love!  @glossier Futuredew

The new Fenty base product is right up my street and I’m looking forward to trying out some sheer looks with it. I adore the new matte tinted lip balm formula from NARS too! So sheer and I’m enjoying the lack of shine for once that seems to always come with balms and glosses!

I don’t add a lot of powder highlighters to my collection, but this one is really lovely! It contains real crushed pearls & gemstones and also has Hyaluronic Acid spheres, which stops it looking powdery.
Think this will be my highlighter of the summer!

PR samples — Happy Easter! 🐣 I though I’d d PR samples — Happy Easter! 🐣 I though I’d do another #sundaysix (# by @bekah_sun) post! The products I’ve been reaching for all week and the week before...!  @honest_beauty Magic Gel-to-Milk Cleanser 
@jimmychoo I Want Choo Eau de Parfum 
@cadburyuk Mini Eggs
@mynuface Trinity
@decreeskincare SOS Revitalising Mask  The texture of this Honest Beauty cleanser is glorious and it is coming very close to my holy Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. It’s a dream to use and leaves my skin so hydrated.  I’ve been using the NuFace for just over a month and I definitely feel that the contours of my face are more defined. My cheeks are plumper and more toned, as are the areas around my mouth. This micro-currant device stimulates facial muscles to tighten, tone & eliminate fine lines. It’s super expensive but I definitely feel I can see results already.  This new fragrance from Jimmy Choo is a sweet floral (with vanilla and peach6 so is perfect for this time of year. I’ve also been loving this milky retinol from Sunday Riley and addicted to the new Decree bio-cellulose sheet masks that sit like a second skin.  Have you tried any of these?
