Collective March Haul

Hi Guys,

Since I've been M.I.A for a while I thought I'd show you all what I've picked up recently. I did have a bit of a shop when I got paid but I also joined the gym and got a Cineworld Unlimited card and paid off a few big bills plus an amazing night out or two! So all of my money has been pretty much spoken for, I havent done too badly though but I do have my eye on a few beuty products for next month that I couldnt bring myself to shell out for this month. So onto the purchases!

Elf Haul! I bought the Daily Brush Cleaner, £3.50 which is great but it has a very strong scent, so a lot of people might not like it. Lipstick in Nostalgic, £1.50 which is a nice chage to the lipsticks I usually wear. I top it off with a lip gloss though as it can look a bit concealer like on the lips. Blush and Bronzer compact, £3.50 which is amazing! I am in love with this product, the packaging is looking a bit grubby now though but I wont complain haha. I picked up 2 brushes from the basic range, the eye defining brush and the powder brush, both £1.50. The powder brush is so tiny so I would never use it for powder but it is great for contouring. The eye defining brush is amazing, I bought it because I found the regular crease brush was a little large for me at times, so I've been really enjoying this one and using it on a daily basis. Random Hawaiian Tropics lipgloss thrown in for good measure. I have been using this lipgloss a lot lately, its a really nice gloss but the real reason I love it is because its not at all sticky it feels really moisturising, I love it. This was £7.49 for Boots and I can definitely recommend it.



Next up Primark, Accessories first I bought a bun ring (£1/£1.50?) but unfortunately my hairs too short for this yet. I bought this lovely feather necklace £3, I LOVE feathers, I'm a little bit obsessed but thought this would be great for Spring/Summer. I got the bird necklace on sale for 50p, I already have a gold mini version from Matalan but its going a bit coppery so I couldnt not pick this up! The lint roller and replacement head, I think was £1 and is an essential since my cat insists on sleeping everywhere.

Skirt Primark £5, love this, cant wait to waer it but its also one of those Primark skirts that really flares out :/ which is so annoying!

Playsuit Primark £5, How cute is this playsuit! I couldnt resist this but I have had to ask everyone I know if its nice as I was so unsure of it. Im still yet to wear it but hopefully I'll feel comfortable in it eventually.

Top Primark £3, Excuse the creases (and bit of shrinkage I think?) I have wore a lot of the upcoming clothes so the tuble dryer has left its mark.

Skirt Primark £3, I still can't believe this skirt was £3 I thought it was £5 which is still a bargain but come on £3! :o

Slipper things? Primark £1, Johnson baby wipes £1 I bought these baby wipes to try as face wipes, they do work even better then some wipes I ve tried but they tend to drag a bit. Still great for the price though.

Lilac and Mint vests, £2.49 each and lemon vest £4.99 New Look, I've worn all off these already. I love these basic New Look Vests such an essential purchase. I'm going to pick up some more of these Lemon crop style tops in other colours, theyre really flattering and great for Spring/Summer.

Random make up purchases, W7 eyeshadow palette £1 from Savers and 2true concealer in Light £1.99? from Superdrug. The eye shadows are very "Springy" not bad for a pound, I did manage to crack a shdow by the time I got home though. The concealer I had in Medium a while ago and that was great, I'm not liking the Light one though, it doesnt seem to do anything at all so that was a really disappointing purchase.


I bought this top from Peacocks last month, think it was £3 in the sale, this is a lovely top, very flattering in all areas :) So thats everything I've bought recently (I think) I hope you enjoyed this post.

My First ELF Order

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of posting recently but my boyfriend has been in hospital and I had been visiting him every night. He got out on Friday and now he's back to his usual self. I had a tooth taken out yesterday so I wasn't up for posting then too. I've picked up a few things to blog about so I hope to get all those up soon. Anyway onto my ELF order, I purchased the following:

Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal, Matte Finisher Nail Polish, Make Up Mist & Set, Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Iconic Ivory and Eyelid Primer in Sheer

Blushing, Bronzing & Blending Brush, Eyeliner Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Smudge Brush, Eye Crease Brush, Blending Eye Brush & Eyelash Curler
I just picked this lot up from the Post Office so I haven't had the chance to use them yet but the brushes seem like great quality for the price. I'm not really the type of girl that has a lot of time left to do much with my eye make up in a morning, so I thought at least if the brushes are reasonably priced I'm not going to feel guilty about not using them. I am definitely going to try and make of an effort to do my eye make up though.

The shimmering facial whip has a bit of a cheapy scent but I doubt anyone will notice, I love the colour though. I've tested the matte nail finisher already and that does the job, nothing much more I can say then that really haha. I bought the eye pencil hoping it would be better then the Maybelline Expression Kajal eyeliner which is really hard, very disappointing. I'm going to test the majority of them tomorrow yay I can't wait! Anyway I'm going to get a nice hot bath to relax ready for all of the pickets outside work tomorrow due to the strikes :/
