Primark Haul

Hello! I filmed my first shopping haul video today so I thought I would post it on here as well as Youtube so you can all watch it if you would like to!

Today has been such a great day! I was so excited last night because it was due to snow, so as soon as I woke up this morning I looked outside to see lots of snow! My College classes were cancelled so I had a day off. My mum and I walked into town and I went shopping whist she had her hair done! 

I don't go into Primark that often but I thought I would today and I found quite a few things I liked.

This haul is basically all Primark with the exception of a little extra at the end! I hope you enjoy it.

Shopping Haul

Hello! The other day College was cancelled so I went shopping! I posted a photo on Instagram of my shopping bags and it was in my Week In Instagram Photos post. Quite a few people asked for a haul post so here it is!

I went to Exeter for the day with my mum and bought some things that I have wanted for a while now!

I have really wanted a felt or wool floppy hat for ages now and have had an Urban Outfitters one up on my laptop for months! I don't have an Urban Outfitters where I live so as soon as I saw it in Exeter I went in and bought it!

I also bought a black cloche hat from Debenhams. This was just a spur of the moment purchase and I love it! I tried it on and it's really warm and easy to wear. I absolutely love the floppy hat but because it's big it's a bit harder to wear, whereas this is just small and cute!

Next I went to John Lewis and I absolutely love John Lewis! I had just run out of my Liz Earle cleanse and polish so my mum treated me to another one! 

I also bought the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation. I have wanted to try this foundation for ages now. When I got home though the colour was way too dark for me so I took it back and had to have a refund as they don't do any paler shades!

Lastly I just went to Boots and Superdrug. I bought the La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo after reading Ruth saying how amazing it is. I never even had a spot until about one year ago and if I get any, it's one tiny spot! Over the past month though, I broke out quite a bit and some products did help reduce them, but nothing was getting rid of them completely. So far this seems great and I am planning to do a full review once I have used it for longer!

In Superdrug I bought the John Frieda Tone Correcting shampoo and conditioner. I went to the hairdressers last week to get highlights and I really like them! I am thinking of getting a couple more soon too. The highlights have a slight yellowy tone to them so I have been using this shampoo and conditioner to try and neutralise that and I think it has helped!

That is everything I bought! If you would like a full review on any of these products then please let me know and I will happily write one!

Have you bought anything nice recently?

Hair and Clothing Haul

Hello! I posted a haul the other day of some makeup and skincare bits I have picked up which you can read here! There were too many products to put in one post so I split it into two for you and here is part two!

If you read my October Favourites post then you will have seen these featured in it! They are the Tigi S Factor Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. I bought the 200ml of these but I actually think it's better value for money to buy the twin pack of 750ml. I didn't buy the big ones though because sometimes my scalp reacts slightly to haircare products and I didn't want to find I reacted to these and then had two 750ml bottles sat in my shower! I absolutely love these though! I'm not sure they beat my Ojon Dry Recovery haircare (review here) but they are pretty darn close! 

My next product is the Joico Intense Hydrator. I have only used it about 3 or 4 times but I already really like it! It leaves my hair feeling amazing, soft and it also smells really nice. The tube is massive as well so will hopefully last me a while!

Onto clothes! I will possibly do some outfit of the days wearing these items so let me know if that's something you would like!

I went to Topshop which is almost the only place I shop for my clothes! Firstly, I bought a flower jumper which I absolutely love! It's so soft, cuddly and warm and the flower patten is so pretty! The flowers also go right around onto the back of the jumper which is great because some tops only have a pattern on the front and I like it when the pattern is all over a top.

Next I bought a khaki hoody. I only have one hoody which is from Hollister and I really wanted another. I saw this one in Topshop and I love the colour khaki! This is actually extremely soft and warm inside.

Lastly I bought two pairs of leggings. The first pair are black with a faux leather panel down the side of the legs! I love these leggings and they are so comfy! They are really easy to wear as well as they are black so go with everything and the faux leather panel makes them slightly more interesting! (I can't find these online but here are some very similar ones!)

The second pair of leggings were an ombre, dip dye pair. They are denim looking and are thicker then regular leggings which makes them perfect for the winter! 

That is my haul finished! I really hope you have enjoyed this - I really liked writing a haul. 

If you would like to see some outfit posts or reviews on any of the haircare products then please let me know!

Where's your favourite place to shop?

London Haul!

Hello! If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you will have seen that I went up to London over the weekend. You may know that after College I really want to become a makeup artist and the visit to London was actually to go and see a makeup school and have a chat with them about the course. If anyone would like any more information on that then let me know, however this post is a haul to show you everything I bought! 

On Sunday my mum and I went to Oxford Street and I was actually very good and only bought one thing! This was the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Treatment Conditioner. I haven't tried any of these products yet so I can't review them but this looked really nice and was only just over £1 because it was on sale! Bargain.

I wasn't as good on Monday though as I bought everything else! Haha. We went to Westfield and Oxford Street again.

First I went to Boots and bought the Botanics body brush because I have heard body brushing is meant to be good for you and your skin so thought I would pick one up! I also bought a few hair products!

The first product is the Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant spray which I have actually just finished a bottle of so this was a repurchase. 

Another (sort of) repurchase is the L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray which I love. I bought the Supreme Hold Infinite Shine one which I haven't tried before though.

When I was picking up the hairspray I also saw the L'Oreal Elnett Heat Protect Styling Spray's which say they will keep your hair in it's style for up to three days! There was one to keep hair straight for up to three days but I already have my John Frieda 3 Days Straight so I chose the curly one!

Lastly from Boots I bought a hairbrush! I have one other Denman brush and I love it so I thought I would try a different one from the brand. This one is a scented one which smells of strawberries and cream!

I next went to John Lewis and bought the Origins Out Of Trouble face mask. I have broken out quite a bit recently so was looking for something to use and I remembered seeing some reviews on this so thought I would try it!

In Selfridges I bought the Bumble and Bumble Texture Creme. I really wanted to try the Sunday Shampoo but John Lewis and Selfridges didn't have it. The lady in Selfridges said they were trying to order more in though! I only bought a mini texture creme because I wanted to try it first before buying a big one! My hair is pretty thick but it doesn't always have a lot of texture to it!

The Enrapture Totem Styler is on my Christmas list and after seeing DizzyBrunette3 hair styling routine, I really wanted the heated rollers as well! They look really nice and I am so excited to try them. They were on sale which made it even better!

My last purchase was a bag from Zara and I love it! It was a very impulsive buy - I saw a girl in the shop trying it on her arm in front of the mirror, liked it, searched for it, found it, bought it. Haha. It is massive and has so many compartments! I love having the shorter strap because I always carry my bag on my arm, however I really like having the option of the longer strap because I find sometimes if my back hurts as I carry so much then the longer strap is useful! I haven't used this bag yet but I will definitely be transferring all my things into it soon.

That is everything I bought from London! Let me know if you want a more in depth review on any of these items/products as I will be more than happy to write one once I have used them for longer!

Have you made any nice purchases lately?

Makeup and Skincare Haul

Hello! So I asked on Twitter the other week if you would like to see a haul post and I got replies with people saying they would love to! I actually went through everything I have bought recently and there's quite a lot, so I'm going to split this into two parts! This one is Makeup and Skincare and during the next couple of days I will post up a Hair and Clothing one so keep a look out.

I'll start with makeup and a couple of online orders which I made!

I bought the Millie Mackintosh false eyelashes in Mayfair! These look so pretty but I haven't worn them yet! They do come with lash glue but I had heard great things about the Duo Lash glue so I ordered that to try. When it arrived though, it had leaked everywhere so I couldn't use it, so I haven't tried the lashes yet!

I also ordered the This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle which is a tinted skin perfecter which is meant to leave skin radiant and hydrated whilst adding a subtle tint. It also contains lots of good things for the skin! The tube says it can be worn alone or under makeup. I have used this once and it left my skin looking okay but it went streaky on my cheeks and wouldn't blend for some reason, so I removed it. I will definitely be trying it again though because it may have just been me applying it in a hurry!

The last thing I ordered was the Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder. I don't actually contour that much but that's because I didn't have a product I could use to contour! Since having this, I still don't contour that much but I like that I have it for those days I want to contour as it is such a lovely product! It is the best contour shade I have ever seen.

Next is something I have wanted for a little while now and it's the Mac eye shadow in Cranberry. This is definitely not a colour I would have thought of buying myself as it's a plum, red, pink colour! I saw it on a couple of blogs and it looked so pretty so I bought it and I really like it! It's such a beautiful colour and surprisingly easy to wear.

I love Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks! If you saw my 100 followers giveaway, you will know as that was the prize! I have wanted the colour Evasion for ages and I finally bought it! It is an absolutely gorgeous peachy, pink colour which is very hydrating and shiny. I have been wearing this quite a lot.

Lastly is a skincare brand. I bought the Nelsons Pure and Clear face wipes, face wash and moisturiser! I am still unsure about these. They smell and feel amazing on my skin but I have broken out since using them! I'm not sure if it's a good breakout and the products are drawing out impurities or whether it's bad. I hope it's not bad because apart from that I love the products! From today I am stopping using them for a while to see if my skin calms down.

That is all for the makeup and skincare haul! Keep a look out for my hair and clothing haul soon!

If you would like a full review on any of these products then please let me know as I would be more than happy to write one!

Perfume, Skin Care and Make Up Haul

I have done quite a bit of shopping recently so I thought I would do a haul post! I have already posted full reviews on some of my new purchases so this haul is just going to be the products I haven't yet reviewed. 

Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice is a fragrance I received last year as a gift and I absolutely loved it! It is probably my all time favourite perfume so as soon as I ran out I went a bought another one! This is the 75ml which is the biggest one they had because I know I love it and will use it regularly so I splashed out!

Alpha H Liquid Gold will have a full review coming up once I have used it more! I have only used it three times so far but I can already see a difference in my skin so I have a feeling the review will be a goody!

I have already written a full review on the Topshop lipstick which should be the next post up! This is the colour Infrared which I have wanted for a long time. On a daily basis I wear colours such as Chanel Boy and Mac Hue so Infrared (which is orange) is a tad different to my usual. I think that is why I hesitated so much in purchasing it, just because I wasn't sure if I would wear it very often.

Paco Rabanne Lady Million perfume is probably my next favourite perfume after Naughty Alice. I absolutely love it and go through it so quickly. I am thinking of doing a perfume collection post soon so let me know if you would like that!

Finally I bought Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask! I have wanted this for such a long time and have heard some incredible reviews about it. The only reason I wasn't sure is because my nose can get slightly oily so leaving a hydrating mask on all night doesn't sound that ideal. I spoke to the Origins lady and she suggested only using a thin layer on my nose and then thicker on the rest of my face as my skin can get dry in other areas on my face. This has worked so well and it hasn't made my nose any oilier! A full review is coming up!

Have you tried any of these products? Do you have any suggestions for purchases I should make on my next shopping spree?! Let me know if you would be interested in a perfume collection as well!
