But I promise, I have other makeup tutorials, GRWM (get ready with me), possibly an autumn look book, and also, I am going to start doing nail tutorials and just nail realted things on my blog, so keep an eye out for all of those! Anyway, on with the haul...
The first items I got are these gorgeous bras! Now, I don't normally show you guys these kind of things as when I buy them I've bought nothing else or they're just white or black etc. But I just thought I would as these are so lovely. I have had this bra brand ever since maybe year 8 and they are from Angel which is in Marks and Spencers. These are normally £16.00 which I know is a lot, but they are good quality, they last a long time, they're really comfy, and you can get some stunning patterns and beautiful colours.
Next up is some new shoes from Newlook that are just normal converse style and they are navy. These were £9.99
Another item from Newlook which is my new jumper. I really love this jumper as it's one of my favourite colours and as you can see it is shorter at the front and longer at the back to cover your bum, with 3/4 length sleeves. But the best part is the gorgeous floral lacy detailing on the shoulders. This was £14.99
This gorgeous grey jumper with white and green and purple lines in is also from Newlook and I really like it because of the gorgeous blue/grey hanging lace detail at the bottom which really makes it look girly even though it is a dark colour. This would be good if you want to have a really girly autumn piece but not want it in a colour like the pink one above. I'm not complete sure how much this was, but I think it was between £10-15
Here is an item I am most excited about to wear in autumn and winter because I know I'll be wearing it non stop. It is just this cardigan/coat that you can wear when it is too warm to wear a coat and it's too cold to not wear anything at all. Its fluffy material and it's slightly cropped at the wrist. This is form H&M and was meant to be £34.99 and was down to £15 (happy days!)
This has got to be my favourite item over anything that I have bought recently. This is my new gorgeous white bag that I have got for college. It has a scallop hem pattern around the top of the bag as you can see and is a shoulder bag. But my favourite part is the floral cut out down the side and the way it hangs in the photo on the right. I think it is extremely gorgeous and it's perfect for college as it is quite wide spaced inside which means I can fit my folders in there and my maths books (as I'm retaking it, again). This was from Newlook and is normally £19.99 but was £12.00 in the sale.
Moving onto my favourite thing to buy as a girl can never have enough makeup because there's so much in the world that you never get to try. But here is my new blush from Natural Collection in Peach Melba. I got this because in 13 The Musical that I took part in this month (which was amazing btw) my friend Chloe let me borrow hers for the show and I fell in love with the colour as it is matte and completely rosy and natural. This colour I am in love with, I am using it non stop as you can't go wrong with it because of the beautiful colour that it is. This is from Boots and was £1.99
This nail varnish I have been saying I am going to get it for ages and I never got it, but finally I bought it as there was a 3 for 2 offer on at Maybelline. I was going to get three Baby Lips but unfortunately I could only get two that I wanted because they didn't have the third one I wanted (but you'll see that in the next item). But anyway, it gave me an opportunity to finally buy this and it is stunning! I currently have it on my toes with a dark purple which will be painted on my nails for when I go back to college. But it has a mix of purple, white, and blue large and white dots. Also it has some white little strands in which is really pretty and I love it. This was from Boots in Maybelline and was £2.99 (but if you don't shop at Boots you can also get this in Superdrug for the same price).
Right, here is the second/third items from Boots with what I just explained. These were the two Baby Lips I got in Oh Orange and Berry Bomb. I am in love with these. I haven't worn the orange one yet but I really like it. They both smell gorgeous, I have no idea what the actual smells are but they are just really light, fresh and slightly floral and fruity. My favourite thing about them is that you can wear them on their own for a slight colour as you can see from the swatches above which is great for school if you're not allowed to wear loads of makeup but you want some colour. Or you can wear them over similar lipstick colours to make the lipstick more moisturising and less matte which is what I do a lot of the time. These were £2.99 from Boots in Maybelline (but once again, you can buy these in Superdrug as well).
Here is the final Baby Lips in the Electro collection which I now own every single colour of because I love the colours, the pigmentation is brilliant, they're moisturising, and it's just everything you want rolled into one product. But I didn't get this one the same time as the other two, I got this yesterday in Oxford when I went shopping with Heather and Jess. But this is in the colour 'Strike A Rose' which is beautiful. It's a gorgeous natural rose pink and I just love it. This was from Superdrug in Maybelline for £2.99 (again, you can buy this from Boots also).
This is my next free items from Theirry Mugler and I really like all of these. The only one I didn't used to be keen on was Angel but I am going to try it out and see if I like it, if not, I'll give it to my mum as she loves the Angel perfume. But they all smell pretty nice and my favourite out of all of these is Alien because it just smells gorgeous and reallt reacts well to my natural body scent.
Here is Womanity and I absolutely love this lid because it's very different to any kind of lid I have on a perfume bottle.
Here is Angel, I really love this bottle because it's a star and I love stars, I just think they're gorgeous. I love starry night skies which is probably why I love this bottle a lot. The only annoying thing is, it doesn't stand up on my shelf because the points aren't square, they're rounded. So it has to just lay down which looks weird compared to the other three.
Here's Angel Eau De Toilette which is the lighter one and I think the bottle is stunning and it's nice they completely changed up the bottle for the lighter one but kept the same star theme. As sometimes I find when there's a lighter one they just change an element on the bottle or the colour etc. But I really like how it is a completely different bottle.
And finally here is my favourite out of the four because it is the best smell in my opinion, the bottle is definitely the cutest and the colours go together so well. I can see why so many people love Alien because it is just a gorgeous smell, I can't even really describe it at the moment as I've not worn it enough to tell you.
Sorry that these reviews of them have been cut short, but I am going to do a more in-depth review of them soon as they're designer and it's not every day you get free designer perfume that would normally be £40.00 or more.
I decided to get this primer because, 1 - I needed a new primer as I've just been using moisturiser for ages as a primer and that worked for a while but now it's not making my skin even anymore. And 2- I tried this from my friend Brittany when we did 13 The Musical and I really liked it! So I tried this properly for the first time yesterday and today was when I properly noticed the effects. I really love this because it evens out your skin tone, it takes redness away, and it's a white pearly colour and finally it makes your skin really soft and a great base for foundation.
Here is my new favourite colour in the whole world. My favourite colour of the summer was mint green and now for autumn I think it is going to be dark purple/plum; I've been looking for a really dark plum lipstick for god knows how long. There are loads of plum lipsticks about but they've just not been as dark as I've wanted them and I was considering going to MAC and getting one of theirs as I know they have one but they are quite expensive and I'd rather not spend that price on one lipstick. But I had a look in Sleek which is in Boots and Superdrug and I used to never look in Sleek as I found a lot of their products were about £7.99 and over but this lipstick was £4.99 which is a nice price in the middle of the price range in the drugstore. But I have finally found the perfect plum lipstick colour and I am so happy I finally have one as I wear it with gold and copper eye looks instead of just red all the time as I want to find a vampire red as I'm really into dark lip colours this year. But I really love this, Sleek lipsticks are really lovely and the last quite a long time.
Here is a new lip product from Superdrug in MUA's LUXE range which is an even darker pulm shade than the lipstick above and I am very happy about that. I've tested it out and it is a great colour and it sticks to your lips really well. The only thing is, as it is velvet lip lacquer, it dries extremely quickly and does not budge until you take it off with a makeup wipe. But I am going to see how I can make it work and get on with it and if I like it, I will probably buy some more. But this was only £3.00
This is an item I bought yesterday because I really needed a new makeup bag as my one is getting a bit grubby and there's just not enough room anymore. But this one is a cute little owl one with a silver owl on the front and also has owl zip parts. But it is an ivory/cream shade and feels like fake leather and I love it. It has two compartments which means one half will be makeup and the other half will be my hair brush, clips, hair bands, and also pens for college as I'm not getting a pencil case. But I think two compartments is extremely handy as it means you have more room for your essentials. Also, Heather, Jess, and I all got the same one (we're too adorable) but this is from Primark and was £3.00
Here's my new best friend which is my beauty blender from Primark which was only £1.50! Now, I've heard amazing things about beauty blenders and I've been wanting to try one ever since my brushes and my foundation don't mix anymore and my foundation doesn't look good even blending with my fingers. It started to look cakey and messy and I just didn't feel natural. So I decided to try a beauty blender and I used it for the first time this morning, and oh my god! I adore this, it may be cheap, but these things are so worth it. It made my foundation look flawless and more thinned out than using my brushes, I recommend anyone who wants to try a beauty blender and not want to pay £5.00 or over, go to Primark and get this one as it is amazing. But so you know how amazing it is, I am going to back tomorrow and buying another one!
These are also from Primark and I absolutely adore them! The moment I saw them, I had to have them. They were only £5.00 and they're just cropped pyjama bottoms and there was no top to go with them, so I am going to try and find one tomorrow. But it's pink and white with these adorable flamingos on and I have nothing with flamingos on and I rarely see clothing items with flamingos on anyway. But I am excited to lounge around the house in these. But the bow around the waist makes them even more adorable!
Here is my final item in this haul and they are my new monochrome converse style shoes from Newlook. They might still be around or the might not as they were in the sale for about £5.00 I think. But they are really lovely and they will go with anything with jeans or even skirts and tights. They also have a bit of a platform white part that you can see above which just gives you a small bit of a lift. But I am really happy I got these because they're quite unique as this kind of style isn't for everyone.
That is everything I've bought over the past two-three weeks everyone! If I do buy loads of things tomorrow I may do a haul or a I may not as I really wanted to do this one because if I bought loads of items tomorrow, that'd be probably over 50 items in this haul and that feels too long as there's already 36 items in this one. But if I don't do a haul I will be uploading some autumn makeup tutorials really soon with the MUA Undress Me Too pallet as it's my favourite autumn/winter pallet.
But thank you all so much for reading and thank you for baring with me as I know sometimes I do a few posts and then there's nothing for a while, but I have ideas for autumn that I am currently already starting and I hope you're all looking forward to those. I will get them up ASAP even working around all my college stuff.
Bye for now everyone and loads of love and hugs,
- Katie
