Shopping Haul


Over the past few weeks I have been shopping, well I always go shopping, but this time I have bought quite a bit! There are a few beauty items, fashion and skincare. To begin, I saw an advert on T.V. for some Simple products and because my skin is quite sensitive, I thought I would try some products. I have only bought the moisturising cream at the moment, but I would love to buy the cleansing cream and many more products and they are really well priced, so they are affordable!
As I said in my last post, I have bought lipsticks/glosses, and I bought the Bourjois Colour Boost in 'Orange Punch', number 03,which is really glossy and moisturising. I think it is perfect for the spring time. I then picked up the 107 red lipstick from the Kate Moss collection in Rimmel and this is probably much better for the Autumn/Winter seasons or for a night out. From Revlon, I picked up a ;lip gloss in the colour 'Crystal Water', number 040. This is just such a pretty gloss and can go over any lipstick if you want to make more of a statement. From Boots, I picked up the Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' foundation in Ivory, number 100 and this has an 'anti-fatigue effect and a radiant glow' which would make anyone's skin seem more glowing and perfect for the spring time, as currently I am wearing a matte mousse from Maybelline. I have heard many people rave about the Collection 'Lasting Perfection' concealer, so I had to pick it up. I have it in the colour 'Cool Medium' which is number 2. I am really looking forward to using those two products. I have never really had a proper bronzer, so I thought it was about time to buy myself one. I picked up the Rimmel's 'Natural Bronzer' in the colour 'Sunlight' which is number 021. I have tried this one already and I absolutely love it and would definitely recommend it. I also needed a blusher and because I was in a rush I just picked up the one I was closest to, which was the Barry M blusher, which annoyingly doesn't have a name or a number on the packaging. It is a lovely pink colour and it does have great pigmentation and for under £5, it is really good.



I then saw a gorgeous bright orange bag in River Island and even better it was in the sale for £25 and I have been looking for a bag for ages and this just seemed perfect for the Spring/Summer seasons and I just love it. As my wardrobe is quite boring, this is the perfect accessory to brighten things up.


Yesterday I went into the Milton Keynes Primark and they have the MOST ADORABLE Disney collection of clothes and I just couldn't resist. The first thing I saw was a really cute Bambi and Thumper T-Shirt and it was too cute for me not to get and for only £6, it was a bargain. Now there was this gorgeous Peter Pan top but there was only one left and it wasn't in my size, so to ease the pain, I saw some Tikerbelle socks and for Primark this 1 pair of socks was pretty pricey and were £2.50! But I was sad so needed them in my life :P. I the went to the pyjama section as Primark have the most comfortable pyjamas. I really wanted to buy the Moomin pjays but I didn't like the shorts that came with them, so instead I went over to the Disney section and saw a gorgeous Snow White set and I just love them. For £8 they were pretty good and they will be perfect for the warmer months I hope to come soon. The underwear in Primark is also quite pricey as one pair was also £2.50, but I saw a My Little Pony and Elmo pair and I just needed to buy them. I already bought a bigger hair donut from H&M, but I saw a smaller one for £1, so picked that up to do some funky hair-do's! there wasn't much of a make up section in the Primark I went to, but I was in desperate need of an eyebrow pencil, so picked one up for just £1 and I have to say, as I tried it today it was quite a sticky pencil and didn't feel that comfortable, but as the day has gone on, it feels and looks much better. It was cheap, so I wasn't expecting it to be that brilliant anyway.
Then I went into Outfit and in Topshop I saw the most adorable hair scrunchies and they looked like bunny ears, so I couldn't resist. I bought a yellow one with small brown polka dots, which is perfect for Spring/Summer and then  green and white stripy one, which reminded me of a candy cane, so would be great for the winter months.  

I was in desperate need of make up brushes, but all the ones I really wanted to buy like the Sigma, Zoeva, Real Techniques and MAC brushes, are just too expensive for me. So I did some research and I found some dupes of the Real Techniques and Sigma ones on eBay. For both sets it was less than £25 which is a real bargain and I got 15 brushes. I was nervous about getting these brushes as I didn't know what the quality would be like, but me being me, I did some research into them and everyone had said how brilliant they were and how they were similar to the real thing. I used some brushes today and they were so soft and easy to work with and there was no shedding of hairs. I am really happy with them and glad I bought them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who cant afford the real thing.


Thanks for reading! :)
