Haul || Zara and Dog & Bone

Long time no see! I haven't blogged for over a year! I have had a really busy year completing my final year of uni. But I'm finished and back to blogging!! The other day I went on a trip to York with my parents and picked up a few things while I was there so I thought I would share with you.

 Zara

I had never been into Zara before, I have heard people talk about it a lot but never found myself in there. I have been missing out! They had some lovely things but I showed restraint and only picked up three things. 

Blazer -£39.99 

Flowing Linen Blazer - £49.99 

Floral Embroidered Skirt - £39.99

Dog &  Bone Vintage 

Circle Skirt - £18

And that's what I got! I am thinking of doing some outfit posts featuring these items, These pictures don't really do the clothes justice! 

That's all for now!

Byee!!

Mini Boots Haul | 2

I don't tend to go all out and do big Boots shops so here is another little boots haul!

I went in to get some things that I needed (boring), but ended up getting a couple of new things I spotted.

My staple concealer and powder, Seventeen's Miracle Matte powder and Stay time Concealer.  While at the Seventeen stand I noticed The new Eye eye Crayons, I'm always looking for new cream eye shadows/bases so I jumped at these for £3.99 in Molten metal, a really nice bronze shade. I also spotted their new contour kit. This got me really excited, I have wanted a contour kit for ages and this one is only £4.99 so I just had to pick one up. I can't wait to try this out and let you know what I think!

Boring, I know, but we all need them! 

I thought I would also feature what my boyfriend bought, It's sometimes interesting seeing what boys use!

That's all for now!

Have you tried any of these?

Until Next time!

Mini Boots Haul

So I recently took a trip to Boots because they have released new Match made lipsticks to go along with their match made foundation. Find out more about it here! No7 currently have an offer where if you buy two No7 products you get a free(!!) 'Exquisite Eyes Gift Box'. I'm a sucker for any freebie so this was right up my street!

No7 Stay Perfect Foundation - Calico

This is one of my favourite foundations although I am matched to the lightest shade it stell can seem a bit dark on me, nothing a little blending can't fix! It is £14.50 so a little out of my normal everyday foundation budget but I had a voucher so how could I say no!

No7 Match Made Stay Perfect Lipstick - Blushing Rose

This is the lipstick I chose out of the ones matched to me. Its a really lovely colour a little bit bright but not to much for everyday. I haven't had much time to try this out yet but I will report back when I have! This lipstick is £9.95 which is a little pricey (but again I had a voucher). 

No7 Exquisite Eyes Gift Box

This is what came free with my two No7 purchases and for a freebie it is pretty good! Inside is a full size Stay Perfect Metallic Eye pencil in purple (I have been wanting a purple eye liner for ages, win!). There is also an Eye Colour Brush because a girl can never have to many brushes! A mini Lovely lashes mascara and an eye shadow which is the top shade in the No7 forest fruits eye shadow trio (Think shimmery purple colour. Definitely cant complain for free!

Finally with my Advantage Card points I bought the Real Techniques Miracle complexion sponge (£5.99). I have been desperate to try this for ages and will let you know how I get on soon.

I am pretty happy with my little haul i got good bargins with vouchers and cant wait to give the lipstick and sponge a better try.

Let me know if you have tried any of these,

Thats all for now,

Bye

Haul | Mini Monday Boots Haul

This is might well be the smallest (most boring) haul ever! That being said I thought I might share with you what I bought today. I only popped in for my concealer (I was running very very low), but while I was there I decided it was time to try a new pressed powder. I also couldn't resist buying a new lipstick as a little treat for myself. I'm allowed though, it's results day tomorrow!

First things first I picked up my new favourite concealer, Seventeen Stay Time in extra fair. Yes, I think I might actually like this more than the collection one! Seventeen have an offer at the moment where if you but two products you get a free lip crayon (see next picture). Since i cant resist any kind of opportunity to get something free (even if I end up spending way more) I grabbed the Seventeen Miracle Matte pressed powder in ivory porcelain. I needed a new powder anyway, I think I have used this before but I can't remember so hopefully its good!

Now a but more exciting (not really). I finally jumped on the bandwagon and got a Revlon Matte balm. I got the colour sultry because I didn't really think I have anything else similar. It is a darkish rose kind of a colour. Maybe mauve?  I'm not very good with my colours at all! The last thing i got was my free lip crayon from seventeen this doesn't have a colour name on but I think there was only two to choose from and I picked this one which is more of a redish coral. I'm not 100% sold on this as it has little bits of glitter in it. Then again I cant really complain for £0!

I will try out these and let you know what I think.

Haul | Boots

I recently went for a day out shopping with my Mam and found myself in Boots. I thought it would be cool to showed you what I bought. (I really like seeing what other people buy I'm so nosey).

Kicking it off with makeup, first I got Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in transparent. I buy this powder over and over again, its the best one i have tried and its only £3.99 so can't really go wrong. I also got Natural collections blush in peach melba. I had this once before but I dropped it and it broke. I don't wear blush often but this one is a really nice subtle shade so is perfect for me! I  have been wanting to try the BarryM Dazzle dusts for a long time so I finally took the plunge and got one. I chose copper because it looked really nice when I swatched it on my hand however i find it a bit yellowy on my eyes (I'm trying to find a way to make it work). I also got a Seventeen lip crayon in bold which is a really nice glossy orange shade.

I got 2 new brushes, a retractable lip brush (something iv been wanting for a while) and a new No7 Eye contour brush. This is my favorite brush for blending out eye shadow so i thought having a second cant hurt!

I got 2 nail varnishes a clear one from Natural collection (the BarryM one I normally get was out of stock and this was cheap). The other is a black and white graffiti nail effect. Its really cool and looks like paint splatters (review soon?)

This one is a little bit boring but this is the hair dye and colour I use on my hair. It was starting to grow out so I needed some more.

Boots own Dry shampoo! Its a little bit cheaper than my favorite batiste and does the same job! (it smells like the tropical batiste which is my favorite sent too!)

Hair masks can be expensive and I really needed a new one for my hair extensions. This one was not to expensive and smells amazing! (I love coconut)

Now these may seem weird but I have suffered with acne for quite a few years, on my body and my face (gross huh?!) I am always on the look out for new products that might help and I spotted the boots tea tree and witch hazel back spray. They have a whole new range of products to tackle body acne which is something I have never seen before. I am going to give this a good try and let you know how I get on! I also found this clearing gel from Good Things, I have never herd of this brand before but it wasn't to expensive and it has no nastiness in it so it is worth a try!

I never thought to look in Boots for jewelry but they had some really nice pieces in for pretty good prices! these two will be perfect for summer / autumn and i love the look of stacking up bracelets.

A random one to finish off. My boyfriend has really bad hay fever at this time of year and my mum suggested this would help him so we picked him some up. Its vegan, organic and drug free so can be used with what ever other hay fever medication you're on. I will let you know how he gets on with this soon!

You can find everything I bought at boots!

Have you tried any of these things?

Let me know what you think!
