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.

Payday Haul!

As the title suggests this is a payday haul woop! I've no doubt got no money left now but we enjoyed it whilst it lasted. I (as usual) hit Primark first and picked up a few accessories:

Left - Internacionale - £2.99 Right - Primark - £1.50

Left - Primark - £2.00 Right - Primark - £1.00 (Sale)

Bag - £3 on sale - Primark


Ring - Primark - £2.00 My favourite purchase, I absolutely love this ring!

Yep I'm channelling Spring/Summer already! I can't wait, I am completely fed up of my winter clothes. Well the ones I reluctantly purchased. I'm much more of a pastels and florals type of girl. I have been after a denim shirt for Spring/Summer, I saw one in Sports Direct that I liked but was a bit reluctant to purchase it as the sizing was a bit off. Then I spotted this one in Primark and scooped it up straight away.

The shirt was £5, Primark on sale and I plan to wear it with lots of dresses, skirts and shorts.

A cute pale blue cardi, Primark on sale for £3 also to wear with lots of cute dresses :)

Pink denim shorts £5, Primark. The colour is much more of an orangey pink then the bright pink that's showing up on here.

I bought a loose fit crop jumper from H&M for £5 for those loungey days. I plan to wear it with skinny jeans, a bight vest underneath and a long necklace.


I picked up these 2 vests in Peacocks. I already have this in purple and I love it so when I saw these on sale for £3 each I jumped at them. I can't wait to get these out into the sun when it finally arrives.





My final purchases were necessities :)

17 Nail Varnish Swatches & Clothing Haul

Hi,

As requested here are the swatched of the 17 polishes from my last post.

Top Left, Night Shade (3 coats), Top Right, Night Shade with Glitter Top Coat (1 coat)
Bottom Left, Risky Red (2 coats), Bottom Left, Risky Red with Black Glitter Top Coat


Starry Eyes Eyeliner in Stardust
I don't think I like the Glitter Crackle, I think it looks like a big mess. The polishes were all super shiny though which was great. It took 3 coats of the Nightshade to create a block colour but it dried pretty quickly. The Risky Red looked perfect after one coat, I ended up doing two just in case but it didn't really make much of a difference. I loved the Glitter Top Coat! I only did one coat to test it for a subtle look. I can't wait to completely coat my nails in it haha.
I thought I'd better post up all of the items I've bought recently before I forget, so here's what I have picked up. 

Top L-R, Top,  Primark £6 - Leopard Print Tunic, Asda £12 - Sequined Hat, New Look £5.99, Scarf, Primark £3, Tights, Primark £1.90 - Heart Print Dress, Asda £12 - Bag, Primark £4
Bottom L-R, Vests,  New Look £2.49 each - Wellies, Asda £13 - Leopard Print Flats, Primark £6 - 3 Pack Belts Primark £2 -  Eye Shadow Quad & Blusher Brick Primark £1 



 Here's the Eyeshadows (Top) and the Blusher Brick (Bottom), They are terrible blushers and eyeshadows but great highlighters as all that shows up is a white sheen, strange but still useful. I did get a shock when I took a proper look in the mirror though! I won't be using anymore make up without testing them first again, I can tell you that hehe.

I picked up a few more bits but they are all currently in the wash so I'll post those up another time. P.S. sorry for the terrible pictures.
