Saturday Shopping Haul | July 2017

Recently I did a Sunday Shopping Haul and today (the day I write this is a Sunday) I went shopping and bought a few new things that I really wanted to share with you. It's mainly fashion but there's two other random things in here that I thought I would throw in. 

GCSE Geography CGP Revision Guide- I'm failing geography and am so bad at it so I thought I would buy a revision guide to try and help. Neither Waterstones or WHSmith had the one that I wanted so I decided to buy this one instead and it does seem to be quite good from what I saw during a quick glance. 

This was £5.95 from Waterstones

Lilac Tied T-Shirt- When I write this is was very hot so I needed some summery t-shirts so I bought this one as I love the colour of it and it will look really nice with black jeans, trainers and my backpack. It's also really light material which is perfect for summer. 
This was £4 from Primark 

Black & White Shoes- I had a pair very similar to these from Primark, which I bought last year, but they got a hole in so I bought more because I really like them shoes. They're super comfy and work well with lots of outfits.
These were £5 from Primark 

Black & White Stripy Top- For ages I've wanted a top like this but never found one so I'm glad I found one in H&M. I'm planning on wearing this with black jeans as I think it will look really casual and nice. 
This was £3.99 from H&M

Black & White T-Shirt- I bought a lot of tops today but that's what I needed but this was the last one that I bought. It's just super casual and can be worn with loads of different outfits. It was also on sale so I thought it was a great bargain and I think I'll get a lot of use from it. 
This was £5 from H&M

Stickers- Whilst in H&M I saw these packs of stickers and thought they would be perfect on my laptop as I've wanted some on it for a while. They're really cute and add a lot of personality to my laptop, especially because before it was very plain. 
These were £4.99 each from H&M

That was everything that I bought whilst I was out today and I'm now really excited to wear my new pieces. For more of me follow my Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider)

Sunday Shopping Haul | #1

Personally I don't really like writing big hauls but I still want to show you what I've bought recently so I've decided to do smaller hauls. They'll probably contain a few new items which I've bought and I'm really excited about. I actually have a lot of new stuff which I never showed you (due to never writing a haul I had planned) so maybe I'll need to do a current favourites?.... 

 Bright Pink Cropped Hoodie- I already this exact hoodie but a brown version and I really like that hoodie and I love pink so this seemed perfect for me. I haven't worn it yet (I only bought it less than 24 hours ago) but I'm really excited to.
This was £7 from Primark 

Vaseline Spray Moisturiser in Cocoa Radiant- My beloved Victoria's Secret Pink body lotion is nearly finished and as I haven't been near a Victoria's Secret recently I haven't been able to buy one. However I have used this one before and it's probably my favourite from the drugstore and I love the spray!
This was £3.29 from Boots (on half price)

Radox Feel Pampered Bath Soak- When I use a Lush bath bomb I don't like using a Lush bubble bar aswell so I decided to buy another bottle of bath soak so I can still have bubbles when using a Lush bath bomb; I refuse to have a bath unless it has bubbles in, that's how stubborn I am.
This was £1 from Boots 

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb- I've never actually had this bath bomb before but I've heard good things about it so that's why I picked it up. I'm not really a fan of the citrus scent so I'm hoping it will smell nicer when in the bath.
This was £3.95 from Lush

Intergalactic Bath Bomb- This is one of my all time favourite bath bombs and I used it the day before I went shopping so I decided to pick a new one up so I have one in my stash. This creates so many lovely colours in the bath and that's why I like it so much!
This was £4.25 from Lush 

The Comforter Shower Cream- When I go to Lush I only buy bath bombs and bubble bars (apart from Snow Fairy at Christmas) so I decided to buy this shower cream called The Comforter. I expected it to smell like the bubble bar of the same name but it doesn't really but I'm still excited to use it.
This was £4.95 from Lush 

That's all that I bought last time I went shopping. I did actually go shopping the day before but all I bought was 2 revision guides and a repurchase of a mascara so I thought there was no point showing you. Make sure you go and follow my Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) and Twitter (@thelipinsider) for more on me! 

Primark Haul | May 2017

I hadn't had a massive Primark shop forever so one day I decided to. I went to my local branch and ended up buying lots of things, which I'm really excited about. I have worn some of them already as I've been so impatient to!

4 Pack Fashion Tissues- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I will always pick up these 4 pack of tissues. I always take them to school with me so I like to have more. These are great value for money as you get 4 packs for 50p and they also have cute outer packaging. 

These were 50p

6 Pack Mixed Hairclips- If you haven't read my last post (why haven't you?!?) you would know that I have been curling my hair a lot recently so I got these for that. I have used them but they were a bit fiddly trying to separate my hair so I might try them again or just not use them.

These were £1

Brow Bar Sunglasses- These sunglasses were hugly on trend last year thanks to the Dior version but I decided to pick some up because I really liked them and I feel like my usual Aviators make me look like a criminal so I wanted to get some new ones.

These were £2 (was £3)

Triangle Bar Necklace- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I always end up buying a necklace and this was the one that I bought this time. I haven't worn it yet but I think it will end up looking cute with loads of outfits, especially ones with black jeans and something which is featuring in this haul.

This was £3

Pink & Leopard Print PJ Set- I've mentioned these a few times on my blog but that's because I really like them. They come with a plain t-shirt and printed pyjama bottoms, which are super comfy. These work out to be £3 for each thing which is great and that's why I prefer buying them in sets.

This was £6

2x Black Cotton Leggings- Primark have the best leggings and I'm always buying more. I wouldn't buy them anywhere else because they'll probably still split and in Primark I can buy 3 pairs for £7.50 but in New Look I can only buy 1 pair for £7.99 so I would rather buy them in Primark.

These were £2.50 each. 

Black 'The Slouch Tee'- I already have one of these but because it's a good basic to have I picked up another. I usually wear these under cropped hoodies because I like the look of cropped hoodies but I don't actually like wearing crop tops and things so I'll wear one of these underneath.

This was £2

Coral Pom Pom Shorts- If you know me you would know that I hate showing my legs so buying shorts is a bit weird for me. However I purchased them to be used as pyjama shorts. Usually in the summer I get really hot at night so I can wear these, even though they're not supposed to be. 

These were £2.50

Long-line Lightweight Blazer- This blazer is something that I've wanted for a while now (not this exact one but this style) so when I saw it in Primark I had to buy it. I love the colour and it will smarten up any outfit. I've worn this already with black jeans and boots and I think it looked really nice if I do say so myself. 

Nude/Light Stretch Vest- This is just something that I picked up to go underneath the pink lace top as I knew that I wouldn't have anything to wear underneath it so I bought this vest, which isn't something that I wouldn't wear any other time. 
This was £2.50

Light Pink Lace Top- This top looks perfect for spring and I think it could be dressed up or down, depending on what you prefer. As it's lacy I bought the vest above to wear underneath and I'll probably wear this with jeans and also boots for a really cute outfit for spring going into summer.
This was £6 from Primark 

Brown Cropped Hoodie- Everyone seems to have this or something like this and I really like the style. Every time I've gone to Primark they never had my size so this time so I could finally get it I sized up to a size 12 and it does actually fit well (apart from the arms are too long) and it also means that this isn't too cropped on me, which I love.

This was £6

There was another top that I bought but I've seemed to lost the picture somewhere either on my laptop or my phone but we'll just leave the haul here. If there's any blog post suggestions you have let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and also on Instagram (@thelipstickinsider). 

Primark Haul

I feel like I haven't done a Primark Haul in ages and that's because I haven't done a big Primark shop for a while but the other day I bought quite a few things and it only came to £24.20 which is great considering the fact that I bought 9 items and it's also good that I didn't spend that much money!

Floral Umbrella- I didn't have an umbrella at all and whilst in Primark I noticed the umbrellas and remembered to get one so finally I now have one. I really like this floral print but they had a lot of designs if you don't like the floral.

This was £4 from Primark

2x Faux Plants In Pots- I already had one of these and that sits on the top of my books but I realised that my room lacked nature so I bought 2- one is going to go on my dresser and the other will probably go on my desk or windowsill.

They were £2 each from Primark

Pink & White Cosy Socks 2 Pack- For a trip we got told to bring cozy socks and I did have some but I wanted to get some fresh ones. These ones are really cute and I love the cosy socks from Primark

This was £1.70 from Primark

Pastel Paint Splodges Makeup Bag- The bag that I'm currently using is pastel so to go along with that I bought a pastel makeup bag which will be my travel makeup bag. Something that makes this even better is that on the zip there is a silver tassel!

This was £3 from Primark

Plastic Black Wayfarer Sunglasses- Obviously it's not summer yet but I wanted to buy sunglasses before the actual summer and you never know when you'll need them. These were £1 and I really like wayfarers as I think they suit me the most.

This was £1 from Primark

Floral Slip On Plimsolls- I needed a pair of shoes that I didn't mind if they got ruined so I got this pair because they're cute and I would wear them if they didn't get ruined but if they did get ruined I wouldn't care.

These were £3 from Primark

Navy Blue & White Birds Sweatshirt- I also got this for the trip but it's really cute and I know it will be very comfy as I already have a sweatshirt from Primark and it's super comfy as the sweatshirts have a cosy, fleecy lining. 

This was £5 from Primark

Black Leggings- Primark is the shop where I always buy my leggings from just because I don't want to spend loads on leggings. Obviously they do create holes but that is after a few months of having them so I don't mind spending £2.50 on them.

This was £2.50 from Primark

That is all that I have bought from Primark on my latest shopping trip. I have actually bought two more clothing items from Primark on a separate trip but I will show you them in a collective haul. Let me know in the comments below what is your favourite clothes shop? Mine is probably Primark and H&M.

Collective Haul | Topshop, Lush + More!

For a while now I have been collecting things to put in this haul and now I have quite a lot so I'm going to be sharing my purchases with you. There is quite a lot of stuff here but that is because I have been collecting for a while so that explains why there is a lot. 

Black Brooklyn Jumper- I really like this jumper because I love the detailing down the side because I think it really adds something to the jumper. This is a perfect jumper to throw on and it looks good with a lot of different outfits, which is good. 

This was £5.99 from H&M

Black Ivy Park T-Shirt- I had wanted to get something from Ivy Park for a while but I didn't want to get any jumpers because I already have so many so I got this t-shirt which I love and I have been wearing it so much. It's so soft aswell and I want to go back and get the white version.

This was £16 from Topshop

Black Flat Shoes- My old school shoes had completely fallen apart so I got these ones from Primark and I really like them and they are very comfy. I would also wear these out but I'm only using for them for school.

These were £4 from Primark.

Pink and Floral Pyjama Set- I love these pyjama sets from Primark so I decided to pick up a new pair because you can never have enough pyjamas. This set includes a pink top (which is short sleeved) and floral bottoms and it's really cute.

These were £6 from Primark

Black Minimalist Backpack- I wanted to get a nice backpack that I could use outside of school so I got this one from New Look which I really like and it feels really nice quailty and it's definitely going to last. This backpack goes with so many outfits and looks really cute.

This was £19.99 from New Look

Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Polish in Port A Loo Blue- I wanted to get some new shades of nail polish because I have a lot of pastel shades so I wanted to have a mixture so I bought some new ones. This shade is really nice and it looks really nice on the toenails and I'm sure it will look good on the fingernails in the summer.

This was £2.99 from Boots

Rimmel 60 Second Shine Nail Polish in Instyle Coral- This is definitely more of a summer shade but I bought it anyway because when it actually comes to summer I'll probably forget to buy a coral nail polish and I really wanted one last year.

This was £2.99 from Boots

Barry M Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paint in Supersonic- This was my first Barry M Speedy nail paint and it didn't dry that fast but the colour is beautiful. It has a beautiful shimmer and I want there to be more sparkly Sppedy nail paints.

This was £2.99 from Boots

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation- My Match Perfection foundation is kinda running out so I wanted to try one of the only Rimmel foundations that I hadn't tried yet. I have tried this foundation and it is really nice and has a nice finish.

This was £7.99 from Superdrug

NYX High Definition Blush in Bitten- As much as I love my MAC blush I wanted to try some more brands so I picked this one up from NYX and it is really nice. This is a very dark pink colour and a great colour for autumn/winter.

This was £5.50 from Boots

Real Techniques Foundation Brush- This was one of the only Real Technique brushes that I would use that I didn't have so I decided to pick it up when it was buy 1 get 1 half price. This blends your foundation really nicely and it's very good quailty.

This was £8.99 from Superdrug

Real Techniques Powder Brush- Again this was another Real Techniques brush that I didn't have so I wanted to pick it up. I love how big it is so you can really nicely apply your powder and set all your makeup.

This was £10.99 from Superdrug

Lush Stuff- As you can tell I have bought a bit of Lush bath bombs and bubble bars and to be honest I don't have a reason why I bought quite a few when I already still have lots. The bath bombs and bubble bars I bought include (left-right):

-Cupid bath bomb

-Rose Bombshell bath bomb

-Unicorn Horn bubble bar

-Big Bang bubble bar

-Supertramp bubble bar (Oxford Street exclusive)

-Creamy Candy bubble bar

Miniature products- For my handbag I wanted to get some mini's of products so they can fit in my bag and in my beauty bag in my backpack. I picked up a hand sanitizer, a mini antiperspirant and a mini pack of Simple makeup wipes.

These were 3 for £3 in Superdrug

Soap & Glory The Scrub Of Your Life Body Scrub- At Christmas I had a mini of this and I really liked the product so I bought the full size. This was expensive for a body scrub but I do really like it and it definitely helps skin. 

This was £7 from Boots

Gabriella Meow Tumbler Cup (back of the pic)- I actually had this before but I have a gross story to why I threw my old one away but I actually missed not having it so I bought another and it's actually right next to me as I type this.

This was £4 from Primark

White Heart Pillow- Again I used to have a white heart pillow but it was quite dirty and had broken at the bottom as you could see into the pillow and see the stuffing so I thought I would replace it and this new one is so soft and so much nicer.

This was £3 from Primark

Birds A4 Wired Notebook- I wanted to get a notebook for my Geography notes because for geography I like condensing my notes so I think having a notebook will be the perfect place to have all my notes together instead of doing a page for each thing. 

This was £6 from Paperchase

Mini Glasgow Backpack- Firstly I bought the cream version of this mini backpack and I liked it so much that I also bought it in black. I used to not be so keen on using a backpack as my main handbag but now I prefer it as it's so much easier.

These were £26 each from Topshop

That's everything that I have been buying recently. I know that there was a lot in this post so your probably not even reading this but if you are comment what your favourite purchase has been recently because I would love to know!

What's In My Bag

I feel like I haven't done a What's In My Bag forever (but I probably have) so that's why I wanted to do an updated one. This What's In My Bag is going to be different because I actually have a mini backpack as my current handbag so this is more of a What's In My Mini Backpack.

This is the bag that I have and I have it cream and black aswell and I like to mix around with the colours depending on my outfit. The bag is from Topshop and both were £26 each but it is really good quailty and I have been using it loads. There's not that much room but that's good because it limits how much I'm taking. I think this bag is called the Mini Glasgow Backpack from Topshop. 

Purse- Firstly I have my purse. I'm still on the lookout for the perfect purse and as I haven't found it yet I've gone back to using this one because I really like the copper. This purse was from Primark and I know it's probably wiser to have a smaller purse but I hate folding notes so I am still using a big purse.

Tangle Teezer- A normal hairbrush is probably too big for this bag so I like to keep one of my Tangle Teezers because the wind will mess up my hair and sometimes it goes out of place to I want to brush it and kinda keep it straight again. My Tangle Teezer is from Topshop. 

Phone- Obviously when I go out I have my phone. If my coat/jeans have pockets I will keep my phone in there because it's annoying to keep opening and closing this bag so I want it in easy reach. In case you was wondering I have a Rose Gold Samsung A3 with a random case on from Carphone Warehouse.

Earphones- When I'm out and about I like to listen to music (when I'm on my own) but when I'm not listening to music the earphones stay in my bag. The earphones I have are the Samsung ones that came with my phone but I would like to get some cute ones.

Zip Card- This is in every single What's In My Bag posts but I will explain it again, this is my bus pass/train pass Oyster thing which is like a teenager's oyster and we get cheaper travel. I keep it in this card holder from Paperchase which I've had for ages but it's a good thing to have. 

Mint Coin Purse- In my main purse I don't like to keep copper coins so I have a separate purse from that. This purse was from Primark (and was only £2!) and when it gets filled to the brim I will go to the Coinstar machine and get it into the coins into cash because I never ever use these coins. 

Gum- Something I hate in life is having smelly breath so to avoid this I like to keep a pot of gum with me in my bag. I have the Extra Peppermint gum in my bag at the moment and I prefer this one because it's very minty and I'm not too keen on the green one. I also like to keep pots of gum because the small packets go really quickly.

Beauty Bag- For all of my beauty bits I keep them in this Zoella Beauty beauty bag. Inside I have essentials such as tissues, a mirror, hand sanitizer, antiperspirant and wet wipes. This bag is a great size because it fits everything in but doesn't take up too much room in my actual backpack.

eos Lip Balm- My lip balm doesn't fit into the beauty bag so I keep this loose in my bag but it is easy to find as it is an unique shape. This flavour is the Blueberry Acai one, which is one of my favourites, and mine is really dirty so I might need to get a new one soon.

Water- Sometimes I will take some of the stuff out of my bag so I can keep a water bottle but if I need everything one day I will just hold the water bottle. I like to have water with me because you never know when you might need water if you become thirsty or if you have a headache.

So that's the stuff that I usually keep in my bag most of the time. At the moment I'm really liking having a mini backpack because it means my hands are free when I'm out and I really like that feeling.

February Favourites | 2017

As we are now in March (seriously how?!?) it's time for me to share with you my favourites from last month. This month I found it easy to think of fashion and beauty favourites but I found it hard to think of lifestyle favourites so I have decided to include more music favourites as my lifestyle faves are pretty much the same as last month.

Black Minimalist Backpack- This month I decided to get a bigger backpack because my small ones were too small so I got this one from New Look. It's really nice and it goes with all outfits. It also looks really cute and is so much more handy than carrying around a handbag on your arms.

Wine Red Off The Shoulder Jumper- Over the last two months or so I have been loving off the shoulder so earlier this month I picked up this wine red jumper and I love it so much. It's really comfy and I love the colour as it's so beautiful. This is from Primark and was £6 which is a bargain.

Ivy Park T-Shirt- This has been one of my favourite tops to wear because I love the material of it and I know some people don't like branded stuff but I kinda do sometimes so I really like this top and it looks really nice with jeans. This was from Topshop and was £16 which is expensive but it is good quailty. 

Real Techniques Brushes- Over the last couple of months I have been buying the Real Techniques brushes and they are so good and I can't believe I hadn't bought them before. They're really soft and they apply makeup so nicely. I think my favourite is the foundation brush as it really blends in my foundation.

NYX Butter Glosses- Now I have quite a few of these in my collection and I really like them. They have a really, creamy formula and they look gorgeous on the lips. There is also a huge shade range which means you can get pinks, red, nudes, purples depending on whatever you prefer. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation- I picked this foundation up because I had tried loads of other Rimmel foundations and they were all good so I bought this one. This one is really good and it is high coverage which is good because I need my foundation to cover my dark under eye circles as well as concealer.

Drawers- These drawers hold my makeup collection, other beauty bits and also school stuff and they have made my room look so much more cleaner and I wonder why I never got drawers sooner. They're from Amazon and were around £20 but the shipping was about £8 which is really good.

YouTube- In the past month I have been watching a lot of YouTube and I have definitely preferred it to TV or even Netflix as I haven't found anything that I've really wanted to watch. I have been watching a range of YouTubers and even TV shows on there so I don't actually have a particular channel that's been a favourite.

Favourite Songs- This month I have chosen two songs because I couldn't think of another lifestyle favourite. My favourite songs have been Castle On The Hill by Ed Sheeran (I do like Shape Of You but I prefer Castle On The Hill) and September Song by JP Cooper. These are the songs I have been listening to and singing along to the most. 

They have been my favourites from the month of February. I am actually in shock with how quickly this month has gone and before we know it, it will be Christmas again which is such a scary thought!

Primark Haul | February 2017

Recently I went to Primark in Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex and I bought a few things that I really like so I wanted to share them with you. Everything I got was a bit random to be honest but I thought I would share them with you and because I got them not too long ago they're probably still in store now.

White Cotton Rich 7 Pack Trainer Socks- Loads of my socks have holes in and I hate having holes in my socks so while I was in Primark and saw the socks I picked these up as you get 7 for £1.70, which is such a good deal. 

Mocha and Leopard Print Pyjama Set- I love the £6 pyjamas sets so I picked up another while I was in Primark as they had a massive sleepwear section and it was right as you walked in. The bottoms are a really nice fit and the top is short sleeve which I actually like, even though it's winter. 

Black Converse Style Canvas Shoes- These were £7 for fake Converse and I wouldn't spend around £50 on real Converse so I like buying the fake ones. I've had a pair like these from Primark before and loved them and wearing these will be a change from always wearing boots.

Simple Gold Bar Necklace- The only jewellery I wear are mainly necklaces so I picked up another and this one is a lot more simple and I don't own anything like this so I got it and I really like it and it was only £1.50 which is a bargain. 

PS... 2 Pack Blending Sponge- I like applying my makeup with blending sponges and the two I currently have are really dirty so I got some new ones. I don't think I'll use the light pink one but I got it for the dark pink one and Primark didn't have any singular ones so I use got a two pack for £1.50.

Floral Skull Water Bottle- Something that I've needed to pick up for a while is a new waterbottle because I didn't really like the one I had. I really like the thing on this water bottle and I also prefer this style of bottle to the one I had before. It also fits 1000ml of water, which is great for £3.

Pink Off The Shoulder Jumper- Everyone is wearing off the shoulder tops and jumpers but I hadn't started wearing them until I bought this and I'm in love with it. It's so cozy and I actually like the off the shoulder look- for a jumper that I know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it, this was a bargain at £6.

Umbrella Printed Peter Pan Shirt- Peter Pan shirts/tops are really cute and I actually didn't have any and Primark had loads with cute designs so I picked up this one. I haven't worn it yet but I'm going to wear it today and I'm going to wear it with black leggings and the converse style shoes I showed earlier. This was £6.

So that's everything I picked up in Primark last time I was in there and I know it's not that much but there's some nice things in there that I thought deserved to be shown. Let me know what blog posts you want to see in 2017 in the comments below.

Collective Haul | February 2017

Today I am going to be doing a Collective Haul and I feel like I haven't done one of these for a while so that's why I really wanted to do another one. There's a mixture of fashion, beauty and random other things in this haul and there's stuff from H&M, Superdrug, Zara and more! 

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in On & On Bronze- A lot of people talk about this on YouTube and mention how it's a really nice base so I decided to pick it up and I really love it. I've been wearing it most days that I've worn eyeshadow and it does last all day and it's really pigmented. Not bad for £4.99!

This was £4.99 from Superdrug

NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee- This was another product I bought because of YouTube but I'm really glad I did buy it as I've worn it everyday since I got it and it's such a pretty colour that's like a your lips but better shade and that is usually what I look for in lip products.

This was £5 from Boots

PS... Bath Pillow- I LOVE taking baths and I take them quite regularly but when I do there's no where to rest my head and I do find that it's not very comfortable resting on the hard bit of the bath so that's why I picked up this pillow when I was in Primark.

This was £2 from Primark

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 1- I bought this eyeshadow palette because my MUA one smashed and I couldn't really use it anymore so I decided to buy the Makeup Revolution one as they have the same shades for the same price. I love this eyeshadow palette because it's so pigmented and beautiful colours.

This was £4 from Superdrug

Real Techniques Blush Brush- For Christmas I got a Real Techniques base set but it didn't come with a blush brush so I decided to pick one up as I love blush and I wanted a good quailty brush to apply it with.

This was £9.99 from Boots

Collection Contour Kit Highlight & Sculpt- I've never really been into contour but I wanted to test it out so I picked up a cheap and basic contour kit to see if I like it or not and this kit also comes with a highlight, which is really nice.

This was £3.99 from Superdrug.

Lush Products- Before Christmas I picked up a Butterbear bath bomb (which I had used before I took the photos) and a Candy Mountain bubble bar and I really like it and I don't want to use the bubble bar as I love the scent too much.

The Butterbear was £1.95 and Candy Mountain was £2.95, both from Lush.

Rimmel London Clear Complexion Powder- Before I was using the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and I thought it was okay but not the best so I picked up this powder to see if it's good and I do really love it.

This was £4 from Tesco.

The Body Shop Spiced Apple & Frosted Berries Shower Gels- I also picked these up before Christmas because I wanted some festive shower gels and I really like these scents and I don't want to use them up as I know I won't be able to repurchase.

These were both £3 each from The Body Shop 

Superdrug Nail Polish Remover- Acetone Formula- To be honest I don't know why I'm including basic nail polish remover but for some reason I photograped it so I'm including it in this post!

This was 98p from Superdrug

Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Makeup Locking Setting Spray- I wanted to try a setting spray for the longest time and I finally decided to pick one up but to be honest it's not that good and I will be doing a review on it some time in the near future.

This was £6.99 from Superdrug

I'd Rather Be Shopping Sweatshirt- Okay I know you can't really see it but it was impossible to photograph. The statement is really true to me as I love shopping and the sweatshirt is lined with a really cosy material so it's really nice. 

This was £5 from Primark.

Pink Body Mists- I have all of the mini body mists from Pink but I decided to pick up some of the full sizes and the scents I got were Sweet & Flirty, Wild At Heart and Wild & Breezy, which are all really lovely scents.

These were 3 for £24 from Victoria's Secret Pink

Pink Ears Keyring- Before Christmas I lost all of my keyrings that were on my bag (the bus pulled them off, more of that another time) so I wanted to get a new one and I got this reall cute one and I love the ears.

This was £4.99 from H&M

Star Purse from River Island- At the moment I'm really into purses and I got this new one from River Island and I really like it. I love long purses because I hate folding notes and it also has loads of pockets inside which I love.

This was £10 from River Island (was originally £15)

Pink, Black & White Lint Roller- This was something I picked up in the H&M queue because you never know when you'll need a lint roller and I always forget to buy one so I picked one up when I saw it.

This was 99p from H&M

Superdry Pink Jelly Bag Pencil Case- I had my Victoria's Secret pencil case for a while but I was getting a bit bored of it so I got a new one and I really like it because it's see-through so I can see my stationery and it's bigger so I can fit my calculator in it.

This was £9.99 from Superdry.

Grey Handbag- Most of my handbags are quite big so I wanted to get a good quailty smaller bag that's not too small but fits and works well being on my shoulder so I got this grey one from Zara and I love it and I love the suede on the side.

This was £19.99 from Zara

Blue & White Knitted Jumper- I really like this jumper as it's really cosy and I really like the simple-ness of it and I feel like it works with a lot of outfits but I usually wear it with blue jeans and my leather jacket.

This was £7.99 from H&M

Khaki Green Knitwear Jumper- Kind of surprisingly I didn't have any khaki in my wardrobe (apart from my parka coat) so I picked up this jumper which I really like and I feel like I'm going to wear it a lot.

This was £7.99 from H&M

That is everything that I have been buying recently and one of my new years resolutions was to buy things that I truly love and I do really love everything in this haul and I have been using everything.
