Haul 003 - Boots & Superdrug.

(Boots - Cosmetic Oval Pads)



The reason for me popping into Superdrug the other week was to have a gander at some MUA products, I've always been a bit snobby towards the brand thinking that things that are only around a £1 must be rubbish. After seeing lots and lots of good things about the brand from bloggers and youtubers, in particular Emily's post,  I thought i'd give some of their products a whirl and also picked up a few other things on my way through Superdrug. Of course some glitter nail polish managed to fall in there somewhere, as usual and some face masks as they were on offer and my mum wanted some.

Next up I quickly went to Boots a few days later with my mum, after we both went to get our eyes tested which i'm sure i'll take a picture of my glasses at some point for y'all to see. I didn't get that much as I was really only on a mission for two things the Toni & Guy product and some Rimmel Apocalips'. Once again i'm just gonna say....I love you Rimmel, you go girllll! Anyways Boots had a deal on 3 for 2 on Rimmel products so I knew this was destiny and managed to get my paws on 3 lovely colours (most of them were sold out) but i'm sure you've been hearing about these everywhere, there is a reason for that.....they are brilliant!

I also picked up a few boring plastic storage boxes to reorganise my make up collection, i'm still not quite happy with it but i'm sure it'll come together a little more in the next few weeks and if you guys would like to see it i'll do a quick post about my collection. Also if there are any products here you'd like me to do a full in depth review of then just let me know :)


Thanks for reading.

Haul 002 - Primark & New Look.

So I recently did some damage to my bank account in Primark and New Look. I'm REALLY loving Primark atm, I go through stages with this shop of love and hate but right now i'm swooning!


(Long Dangly Cross - £1.50,  Gold & Silver Big Cross - £1 each, Small Gold & Silver Cross Studs - £1.50 for pair. All Primark.)

 (Studded Bracelet - £3, Necklace - £2 both Primark. Collar Tips - £3.99 New Look)

 (Black Bag - £19.99 New Look)

 (Black Trainer Wedges - £15 Primark)

(Black Stud Belt - £3, Black Cross Stud Belt - £2.50 Primark) 

(Textured Black Skater Dress - £13 Primark) 

(Stud Detail Jumper - £22.99 New Look) 

(Textured Black Skater Skirt - £8 Primark)


Sorry some of the pictures aren't the best but i'm still working out how to use my camera and where are the best places to take them!

I obviously really love everything I got but my extra special bit's I especially like are;
- the wedge trainers, which are very comfortable and I'm not a heels wearing type of girl and they also come in a light creamy grey and burgundy colour which i'm very tempted to go back and get at just £15 a pair.
- the bag from New Look, I think it's a total steal at £19.99 but looks more expensive and smart. It's also big enough to house all my useless rubbish I carry around with me!
- the collar tips, I haven't tried out collar tips yet but i'm excited to try these out on some shirts and I thought they were really reasonably priced. 


So basically what i'm trying to say is that Primark is dangerous atm! If you haven't been in recently be prepared and have money spare. There were so many things I didn't pick up as I was trying to watch what I was spending and I'm now saving my pennies and planning my next trip.
What's your favourite thing I bought? 


Thanks for reading!
