Hey guys!

Well would you look at that, another haul?! Let me cut a long story short, I ended up selling my DSI XL and all of the games for it as it just sits in the corner of my room collection dust and I ended up getting £75 for it, so this is what I spent the majority of the money on.

(It would turn out I doubled up on numbers on the photo, oh dear, I do apologise!)

1. Birds Nest iPhone 4/4s Case from eBay- £0.99 (free shipping)

I've seen these sort of cases loads lately and I'm a sucker for anything pink and minimalist.

2. Coral Sleeveless Skater Dress from ASOS - £12.99 (free shipping)

I'm going on holiday to Fuerteventura in August and I've already started buying Summer clothes, oh. I'm trying my hardest to put a bit more colour in my wardrobe and I'm also trying to wear more dresses, so this happened.

3. Black and White Heart Print Skater Dress from ASOS- £14.99 (free shipping)

I bought this dress because I bought a rather 'out there' looking kimono a few weeks ago (for £5 reduced from £25 in New Look, might I add) and I wanted a subtly patterned dress with no bright colours on it so it didn't clash with the floral pattern of the kimono, I also bought this for my summer wardrobe.

4. Tartan Fleece Scarf from eBay- £4.99 (£2.50 shipping)

Bit late on the tartan bandwagon I suppose, but I really was not willing to spend more than £10 on a tartan scarf and as of yesterday all of the ones I'd seen lately ranged from £12-£18 and that's a bit overpriced for a scarf, plus it's made from fleece, so it's going to be so soft and warm.

5. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Oxford St. Fuschia' from eBay - £2.25 (free shipping)

I don't own many light pink lipsticks and after seeing loads of swatches of this lipstick, I just fell in love with it. Plus it's not a matte lipstick, so that's good, got super chapped lips lately. :-(

6. Juno DVD from eBay- £1.20 (free shipping)

Unfortunately I bought the last DVD on the eBay listing, so the link above is the DVD listing on Amazon. I absolutely this movie, but I haven't got it in my DVD collection and I've been craving to watch it for ages but it hasn't been on TV in a while.

7. Oversized Round Sunglasses in Ombre Finish from ASOS - £10 (free shipping)

I was just browsing the sunglasses section of ASOS and omg I just fell in love with these, the weather's been pretty nice lately so I bought sunglasses, not much I can say about them really.

8. Black Faux Leather Chunky Cut Out Boots from eBay - £21.99 (£2.99 shipping)

Oh look! It's the infamous Jeffrey Campbell's Coltrane dupes! These were reduced from about £30-something so that's alright I suppose. I've been wanting a pair of these boots foreverrrr and I just can't wait for them to arrive.

9 & 10. Dumb and Dumber (£1.40) & Clerks II (£1.27) - eBay

Just movies that I adore that weren't in my movie collection so I felt the need to buy them basically.

11 & 12. Sex and The City: The Movie (£1.65) & Sex and The City 2 (£1.27) - eBay.

I've been so obsessed with the TV show lately and it's the only decent thing on TV from 12am - 5am in the morning (which seems to be my sleeping pattern lately) but I've never seen the movies so I thought now would be a good time to buy the movies.

What have you guys been buying lately? :-)

That's all for now,

Hey guys!

So last night I went on a bit of an online shopping spree, this time, I went a bit crazy on the DVD's.

There's this amazing seller on Amazon called 'zoverstocks' and they sell used DVD's on there for 1p with Amazon's standard £1.26 postage price.

Admittedly, the majority of these DVD's are ones I've owned previously and lost, like Mean Girls, or ones I've already since but don't own on DVD. (I'm trying to expand on my DVD collection.)

I also bought a few make up bits that I've been missing from my collection for quite some time.

1. Bride of Chucky: 1p (+£1.26 shipping)

Bride of Chucky has been one of my favourite films for a long long time, but I've never actually owned it on DVD, it's just always a film that if it's ever on Sky Movies, I will watch it every time. The Chucky franchise are my favourite films in general and I'm trying to get them all on DVD.

2. Mean Girls: 1p (+£1.26 shipping)

Mean Girls is everyone's favourite movie, let's be honest. I've owned it on DVD for years now but recently I lost the disc and I gave up looking, so I just bought it again and for £1.27, you can't really complain.

3. American Beauty: 1p (+£1.26 shipping)

I've never seen American Beauty before actually, but my mum's been recommending it to me for ages now, I did actually buy it for £2 from eBay a few months ago, before realising that I'd bought the Region 1 version which isn't playable on any UK bought device unless you hack your DVD player or whatever, so I bought it again, but this time I made sure it's Region 2.

4. A Bucket of Blood (1960) / House on Haunted Hill (1958) / The Ghoul (1933): 98p (+£1.26 shipping)

I absolutely adore black and white horror movies (well, I just love horror movies in general) but the awful make up and special effects just amuse me so much and I bought this purely for House on Haunted Hill, but it actually worked out more expensive to buy that by itself and then I found it in a boxset with two other black and white horror movies. I was in my element, haha! Plus, wasn't Vincent Price just gorgeous?

5. Fight Club: 1p (+£1.26 shipping)

I've only seen Fight Club a couple of time but it's basically a classic and it needs to be in my collection, so I bought it, that's all I can say really.

6. Drive (2012): 73p (+£1.26 shipping)

Drive is also one of my favourite films (I have a lot of favourites ok) and I own every other Ryan Gosling movie on DVD except for this one so I had to buy it when I saw how cheap it was.

7. Burt's Bees Pink Grapefruit Lip Balm: £2.49 (free shipping)

I've recently ran out of the Beeswax Lip Balm by Burt's Bees and it's safe to say that it's my favourite lip balm, I can never find Burts Bees lip balms in any of my local drugstores, so I resulted to ordering it online, turns out it's about £1 cheaper aswell! If I like the flavoured lip balms, I'll probably buy the mango flavoured one next.

8. Sleek Face Contour Kit in 'Light': £4.67 (free shipping)

I saw this has been reduced from £6.49 to £4.67 and I just had to buy it, I'd be eyeing up the face form kit for ages and I wasn't sure whether it was worth it, since I rarely wear blush, so when I ran out of the contour powder and highlighter, there'd be this little blush left in some huge pointless packaging, so I thought I'd buy the contour kit and the blush seperately. I'm excited to try it though.

9. Sleek Blush in 'Rose Gold': £3.23 (free shipping)

As I said in the above post about the contour kit, I bought this blush seperately as I adore the colour but I know I won't get as much use out of it as the contour kit and the packaging would be a problem if I bought the face form kit so. It's a gorgeous colour and from the reviews I've read, it's a perfect colour for pale people like myself.

Let me know any movies that you recommend, whether they're on DVD or Netflix. :-)

That's all for now,

Rachel. xo

So movies and video games are my favourite things to spend my money on, why? Because you can pretty much keep them forever. So when I was let loose with £60 CEX store credit and £20 in cash, you know what I did. Might I just say, CEX is the worst company I've ever had to do business with, their customer service is absolutely awful, their staff are useless and ugh. THEY EVEN MISSED AN ITEM OFF MY ORDER, which is why you're not seeing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time for the Nintendo DS in this photo, because the idiots forgot it. So without further adieu, here we gooooo.

(L to R) Saw Quadrilogy (Saw, Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV), Mallrats, Let The Right One In, Let Me In, Happy Feet, American Dreamz, Aladdin, The Mighty Boosh Live, This Is England, The Shining, Tangled, Bioshock (Steel Tin Edition for Xbox 360), Bioshock 2 (Xbox 360), The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS) and Lego Lord of The Rings (Nintendo DS).

Saw Quadrilogy - £6 from CEX.

I absolutely adore everything Saw, it's probably one of my most loved movie franchises. For £6 I thought this quadrilogy was an absolute steal.

Mallrats - 99p (+£1.20 for P+P) from eBay.

Jay and Silent Bob are basically my favourite characters ever. I've just adore all of the movies that they appear in and they just make the movies they're in like 50 times better. Mallrats is just hilarious and I highly recommend it.

Let The Right One In - £1.27 from eBay.

So I've been looking to get this DVD for ages but I was umming and ahhing about it for months because I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it and that's purely because of the subtitle situation (this film is in Swedish so), I haven't got round to watching it yet but I've heard good things. When I last went up to Essex to visit my friend Joe, he had LTROI and Let Me In on his DVD shelf and he told me they're both really good so why not.

Let Me In - £1.90 from eBay.

I knew as soon as I saw this film for under £2 that I was going to buy it. Chloe Moretz is one of my favourite actresses and she's in this film so there was no way I could not buy this. I'm really looking forward to watching this. This is the British-American remake of Let The Right One In so that means, Chloe Moretz and no subtitles, woo!

Happy Feet - £1 from eBay.

So I basically just bought this to replace my other version of this DVD which my sister decided to snap in half when she was in a mood with me, not cool, Hannah. Happy Feet is the cutest film ever if you're into singing and tap-dancing penguins, this is the film for you.

American Dreamz - £1 from eBay.

American Dreamz is a great film and I needed the DVD version of this film to complete my Hugh Grant collection (yes, I own every single one of his movies on DVD, don't judge.) All I'm going to say is, it's a comedy about a singing talent show and politics, if that hasn't intrigued you I don't know what will.

Aladdin (Music Masterpiece) - £5 from CEX.

Aladdin is my favourite Disney movie tied with The Little Mermaid and Tangled so when I saw this for £5 I had to grab it, which is such a great price considering it's the special edition musical masterpiece edition. I don't know what you're doing with your life if you've never seen Aladdin. I feel for you, I really do, haha.

The Mighty Boosh Live - 99p (+£1.10 P+P) from eBay.

Well, to start off with, the seller actually sent me the wrong DVD, they were meant to send me The Mighty Boosh Live: Future Sailors Tour DVD but instead sent me the original 2006 live tour DVD, which I didn't mind so much considering it was only like £2, now if I'd have spent £6 on it brand new or something I probably would have complained, haha.

This Is England - £3.19 from eBay.

This Is England is up there in my favourite movies list, I've seen it on TV a few times but never got round to owning it on DVD and was rather disheartened when the day I ordered it, I look on US Netflix and it was on there. :-( So really, I probably didn't have to spend £3 on the film because I'm sure it's going to stay on Netflix for a while.

The Shining - £2.50 from CEX.

The Shining is my favourite book ever and the film version is just as good as the book, it hadn't been shown on Film4 or Sky Movies in a while and it wasn't on Netflix so I just had to buy this.

Tangled - £8 from CEX.

Okay, so kind of expensive considering it's pre-owned and you can get it on Amazon brand new for £7 but I mean I had £60 of store credit to use and I was basically desperate for this film on DVD so.

Bioshock (Steel Tin Edition for Xbox 360) - £5 from CEX.

Not a bad price considering CEX were selling the normal edition for £5 also, so why not spend the same amount on a prettier looking case, haha. This is another game that Joe had recommended to me, he's literally obsessed with anything Bioshock so I thought I'd buy Bioshock and Bioshock 2.

Bioshock 2 (For Xbox 360) - £4 from CEX.

£9 for both Bioshock games is not bad so I just had to buy them both. I can't wait to play them as I've heard so many good things about them and yey.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (for Nintendo DS) - £12 from CEX.

Yet again, another incredibly overpriced item from CEX, I hesitated buying this because I could get it brand new for £12 elsewhere but as I said earlier, I had store credit that needed to be used up by 5th December so.

Lego Lord of The Rings (for Nintendo DS) - £10 from CEX.

I'm getting the feeling that CEX really like to overcharge people but hey ho, store credit right, haha.

Lord of The Rings are great films and a video game version in Lego form has to be good right?
