Haul (Jack Wills, Boots, LUSH, Primark and more!)

So earlier today I went on a trip to my local towns' shopping centre and their outlet shops. Some of these items are for me, but quite a bit of it are presents for my Mum and sisters birthday, so if you are in need of mothers day ideas, or just gift ideas, I have some!

 I guessed the most logical order for this was the order I purchased them so here goes...


Jack Wills- A4 pink paper folder - £3.50 £1.00
Okay, so this is kinda boring but I guess the majority of the people who will read this post are of the 'studying' age, and also might have a soft spot for cute stationary! I love that my local Jack Wills is an outlet, because even though it doesn't have the newest items, the sales are amazing! (I got one of their famous navy gilets from the previous winter at discount instead of £120, yay!)

The Body Shop - (mum's present) Hemp body set - £28.00 £12.95
This is also from the outlet shop, and I saw this tin set and thought it was perfect. I always try hard to find my mum the best gift I can get with my money (aw) and I really hope she likes this! I noticed that on their website ( linked here) that the price is more expensive than the shop, but I also got an extra item in the box? I thought it was a bit odd when I opened it because it didn't have a place in the packaging?! haha, weird (you can see ity under the lip balm).

Claire's - Montagne Jennesse Hair Mask for britte & split ends - £1.50 £0.50
Am I the only person who didn't know this brand did hair masks? I absolutley love their face masks, and make sure I pick one or two each time I go shopping for a nice pamper eve and when I was bored in Claire's there was just a couple of these in the corner? ahah, well anything that mentions 'for brittle, split ends' I'm on it. I have hair which is long(ish) and I swear I stress more about my split ends than anything else! Also, I'm too scared to go to the hairdressers too frequently because in couple of years time I would end up having a bob by the amount they take off! p.s very good offer for 50p, it was also 3 for 2 in the outlet store :0

Boots - Barry M nail paint in Gold Glitter 339 - £2.99
This is actually a birthday present for my sister, who loves gold and all things sparkly (just like me!) and I thought this would be a cute little addition to the collection of gifts I have prepared already. I have the blue version of this nail paint and I know that it is not an opaque shade, but more of a top coat of sheer glitter (one coat) or a cute base for some glitter.

Primark - Denim Shirt with Chiffon Sleeves - £12
I already have a denim shirt of the shame shade from Topshop, but when I saw the sleeves on this I couldn't resist! I do like the look of some chiffon shirts but I feel that they don't really suit me, or are too dressy, so this was perfect. I love the heart effect also - so cute! In the picture you can see that I paired it with my burgendy skirt, but you could really wear this versitile piece with anything!

Primark - Mickey Mouse Top - £6

I'm not really a fan of Mickey Mouse, but I was in (not really) desperate need of baggy tops. I got this in a size 10, when normally I would be a 6 for an oversized look and I also love this tucked into my skirt. If you are looking for a nice graphic top from primark, and not a fan of disney, then check out the male section! They have a Coca-cola one which I almost brought too:)

LUSH- Brightside Bubble Bar - £4.15 (Limited Edition)
Firstly, I am pretty sure this is limited edition for easter, so go quickly if you want to get your hands on one of these beauties! This is also for my sister, and now I am feeling sorta jelous because it smells amazing. It is quite simialr to the Comforter Bubble Bar (I have somehow managed to mention this in my last three posts, haha) but it has an orangy scent, which reminds me of Starburst/ Moaom! You could probably get about 3-6 baths out of this, depending on how much bubbles you like! If you want to see the full review of this on the LUSH website click here.

So thats my haul!

(Early) February 2013 Favourites

So this is my early monthy favourites, and I just thought I would share them now instead of in the cluster of posts.

I think it is fairly self-explantatory, but basically these are the products that I have been loving this past month!

Firstly the Company magazine I have featured in the photo above, has been my favourite for ages. They range from £1-£2.50 each month and you can see my collection on this post by clicking here.
Also, my last post was a LUSH one, so if you havn't seen that I feature The Comforter Bubble Bar there. Click here to view that post in a new tab now xx

Firstly are my Hollister Body Mists. These smells amazing and sweet, and perfect for when I finish exercising. They are quite strong and do last a while. I have the scents Silver Strand Beach and Cresent Bay. You can see the full scent descriptions here on their website. When I brought these last month they were £12 each or 3 for £24! (my friend got the other one haha)

 Next is a VERY grubby Collection Lasting Perfection Concealor.  I actually only brought this last month also, but being in my jumbled make up bag did it no good. Despite this, it works really well. I deffinatley think this will be one to repurchase over and over. The coverage is so good I no longer wear foundation, just this and pressed powder for my base! The best part, of course, is the very cheap price. I got it in boots (full price) for £4.09.

 Next in my favourites are these two nail varnishes. I'm actually thinking of doing a nail varnish post, so if you're intrested please comment! The one on the left is from Barry M (Boots or Superdrug) for £2.99. On the right is a Topshop nail varnish at £5. I love both of these colours because the Barry M one is a nice wintery shade which is quite opaque and doesn't chip off for a while (best lasting finish Barry M nail paint I have, and I have 10+!). The Topshop one is the perfect colour to go into spring and it suits all nails. I find also that in some lights it looks pastel lilac and in others it looks pastel blue! Love xx
