Small H&M Autumn & Winter Haul

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world.

Two words; WINTER clothes! If you knew me personally, you'd know I detest and always have detested buying new clothes and going clothes shopping. I've never felt comfortable so I rarely buy new clothes except for Autumn/Winter time, that is literally when I'll happily get new clothes. Simply because I love big knitted jumpers, leggings and all things flowy... basically items that cover me all up!

So this haul only has 5 items and they are 4 knitted jumpers and a pair of boots, nothing too crazy and exciting here sorry. I was majorly in need of some new jumpers and some winter boots. The pictures I'm using in this post are the pictures that are on the H&M website, so all rights and credit go to them. I apologize for being a bad Blogger and not using my own images but 2 of these jumpers were in the wash, and I couldn't take decent pictures of the jumpers so I gave up and had to use the ones from the H&M website.

The 4 jumpers are all knitted, over-sized type jumpers. My favourite out of the bunch was the cheapest one priced at £12.99, it's a long-sleeved jumper in a soft knit with narrow ribbing at the cuffs and hem and slits in the sides, in the shade beige and I think it's so soft and comfortable. 

The second one was is described as on the site as an oversized jumper knitted in marled yarn containing some wool with a round neck, dropped shoulders, long sleeves and slits in the sides, this was price at £24.99 and I got it in the shade light grey marl, this is the softest jumper out of them all it feels so lovely and comfortable.

The third jumper is described as a jumper in a soft, textured knit containing some wool with long raglan sleeves with slits at the cuffs and ribbing at the cuffs and hem, this is priced at £14.99, I got this in the shade grey marl. I have yet to wear this.

The fourth jumper is slightly different that the other three as this is a turtle neck, and it's described as a jumper in a soft, ribbed, chunky knit with a turtle neck and dropped shoulders in a straight style with slits in the sides, this is priced at £14.99 in the shade dark purple marl. Again I am yet to wear this.

The boots I got are the popular Chelsea boots, they're simple but look nice with everything, they're literally the type of boots I repeatedly buy. These are priced at £24.99 and are black.

I hope you liked this post, I found it strange writing a post with clothes as it's something I never do and certainly won't do very often. Are you a jumper, leggings/jeans and boots kinda' gal in the Autumn/Winter like me? Thank You. MWAH. Xo

Beauty Haul

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. I have a little haul for you today with a few bits I needed and a few I didn't but I thought I'd deserved to treat myself.

As I've recently had my hair dyed a colorful vibrant color and as my shampoo and conditioner was running out I thought I needed to buy new ones, this time I went for L'Oréal Paris Hair Expertise EverPure Color Care & Moisture Shampoo And Conditioner to try out, see how long and if it pro-longs the color in my hair. Next is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque, I'm always on the look out for trying masques out so I picked this up. The last couple of hair products I bought are hair oils, Superdrug own brand Hair Therapy Oil With Coconut and a Macadamia one, once again I love trying out different hair oils so I thought I'd give these a try.

The last 2 products of my haul are eye shadow palettes, I've been obsessed with shadows and palettes lately so I need to build my collection. Since this palette come out I've been humming and arring over whether to get it or not but I caved and that is the L'Oréal Paris Color Riche La Palette Nude Rose, I love L'oréal products so I'm excited for this so stay tuned for a review and tutorials I'm sure. The next palette is the Sleek iDivine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks Palette, I just wanted a matte palette that wasn't just basic neutral colors so when I saw this I thought it was perfect. It has a flesh color and a brown to make a basic neutral smokey eye but it also has pops of color that I can't wait to use. So again look out for a review and tutorials with this palette.

I hope you liked this mini haul, usually I have more products in my hauls but my money has been spent on my nieces/God Daughters Christening gifts, an outfit for that occasion and bills so not had much to spare for beauty products, sad face. Also I'm trying out a new technique for my blog pictures, let me know what you think of them.

Drugstore Haul

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. Today I have for you a fairly big Drugstore Haul, these products were bought on 2 occasions and as per usual I go to Boots and Superdrug with essentials or things in mind I had to buy and end uo buying more than I planned.

So first up was a re-purchase which is my trusty staple Batiste Dry Shampoo, I love this stuff especially because I try to only wash my has twice a week and this stuff keeps the grease at bay. Next I needed new deodorant and I usually go for Dove, I usually buy it when it's on offer but it wasn't so I looked at the others and noticed Garnier had brought a deodorant out and seeing as I like their products I thought I'd try them out. I also bought a new jar of coconut oil from my local health store as my other jar is almost empty.

I went into Boots specifically on this occasion for a dark nude lipstick, going for the over hyped Kylie Jenner lip look so I browsed all the lipsticks and came across the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade Asia, as I love Rimmel lipsticks I had to have it. I also saw a haul from VelvetGh0st and she bought the Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in the shade nude perfection and her description for this was literally the perfect Kylie Jenner color so of course I had to buy it, and I also wanted a pink nude shade so I went for Minimalist. Then I wanted a lip gloss because I don't really have any as I've never really cared about them but I'd thought I'd try one so I bought the L'Oréal Glam Shine Lip Gloss in 400 Juicy Rose Glow.

Next up this one was also one of the main reasons why I went into Boots which was to buy the L'oréal Lumi Magique Foundation as I've seen many reviews that made me want to try it so I had to get it, a review on this foundation will be posted on Thursday, so in 2 days so keep a look out for that. Also I'd seen so many people rave about the Maybelline Erase Eye Concealer so I wanted to try it and see what all the fuss is about. As I bought a new foundation I thought it was only right to buy a new foundation brush so I went for Real Techniques Stippling Brush as I love all the brushes I bought from this brand and I had yet to buy this one.

Next up is the Collection Eyes Uncovered Palette In Nude that I saw a few people use on YouTube and I thought it looked a nice cheap but decent everyday nude palette so I had to buy that and check it out. I thought I was very overdue with buying new nail polish so I went into Superdrug and went straight to the Barry M stand and thought I'd try out the speedy quick dry range with the shades 502 Pit Stop and 450 Lap Of Honour, I think they're the perfect pastel colors.

Drugstore Haul

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. Today I have a Boots haul for you, this day I was specifically looking for skin care products to try and that is literally all I bought, I didn't go off track and look for make-up, hair products etc.

I needed a new moisturizer and I wanted to try out and eye cream seeing as the skin there is so delicate so I wanted to start taking care of my under eyes and eyelids. I have a few products from the brand Simple which I liked so I thought I'd purchase Simple products. I got the Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturizer and the Regeneration Age Resisting Eye Cream, and there was a deal on for 3 for price of 2 so I browsed the other Simple products and the Kind To Skin Pore Minimizing Toning Cleanser stuck out to me because I have big pores. I will let you know how I get on with a review of all 3 products once I've used them for at least a month.

Next I really wanted to get a mask and I have loads Montagne Jeunesse ones but I saw a coconut one and a honey one that sparked my interest so I got 2 coconut ones and a honey one as it was 3 for 2.

Lastly I'd seen a review on the Seven Seas Perfect7 Woman 30 caps and 30 tabs that help with skin, hair, nails, energy, brain, vision, heart and hormonal activity. I got these for my hair, skin and nails because I'm all for helping my hair grow healthier and stronger as well as my nails and having nice skin. Once I've been using these for a month or so I will write a review to let you know how I'm getting on with them.

I hoped you liked this post, it's been a while since I had a haul simply because I've switched jobs and other personal stuff so I haven't had much spare money to splurge but now I'm all sorted my shopping addiction can be fed. Keep your eyes out for my skin care products review and review of the Seven Seas Perfect7 which will be in a month or so.

This tag came up on my subscriptions on YouTube a few months ago (I had saved this in my drafts since it came out because I like this tag) from Fleur and after watching it, I knew I wanted to do this tag on my blog, as I love tags.

Do you ever have outdoor me-time?

In the summer time yes, I'd go for a walk in the banks and fields where I live.

Drugstore Haul #4

Here I am back with another drugstore haul, I just can't help myself I have to have a browse in Boots and Superdrug every pay day and end up buying stuff I want and need even though I know I wouldn't use some of it on an everyday basis. This is a collective haul over the last couple months, they weren't all bought in one shopping spree.

First up is the two skin care products I bought. The Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser I saw on LaurDIY's Night Routine video and it got me interested as I need a good face cleanser and she said many good things about it so I look up reviews of it online and came across so many good ones and decided I was going to try it out. I'll do a review on this product once I've used it for a while. The last product is Nivea Creme Moisturizer which is used for your face and body. My nan and mum have used this since they were young girls, it's always been their top and most used moisturizer, they swear by it. My nan is 82 years old and looking at her face she looks like she's in her 60's, I'm not exaggerating. She's always had people say to her she looks young and well for her age which she says it's thanks to using Nivea everyday since she was around 18. So I've grown up with using this moisturizer and I've always loved it, it's so moisturizing and kind to skin, I use it for my face, neck and to remove my eye make-up (it works so well for that by the way) I've not discovered any other moisturizer better than this, that's why I'm always going back to this one and with the cold months well and truly arrived I thought I'd best buy this well loved baby.

Hair products are next, which is my favorite topic! My local Boots store has recently finally got all the OGX Hair products so that got me super excited and immediately wanting to try another shampoo, conditioner and oil. As I love the wonder fruit/nut/seed that is coconut with all the good benefits it has for hair I thought it would be rude if I didn't try either the Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner or the Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner first. I went for the Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner simply because what is said on the bottle drew me more to it. Then I got the Thick And Full Biotin And Collagen Weightless Reviving Oil Treatment as I know biotin is a supplement that many people including me use it for hair growth so I wanted to give it a try and the oil and serum I'm currently using for my hair just isn't cutting it. 

Now for the make-up portion of this haul. First up is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge also known as the beauty blender, I've seen countless of good reviews on this and after stopping myself buying it for months I decided to bite the bullet and buy it to try. I don't use foundation on a daily basis simply because I'm lazy and my skin isn't too terrible but after seeing many reviews once again on the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation I wanted to give it a try, I got it in the shade 52 Vanille. The next product I just come across it while looking for another product, I wanted an actual contour shade instead of using bronzer to contour as that wasn't really working out so I saw the Seventeen Define And Conquer Kit and thought I'd give it a try in the shade fair as that was the only shade they had in stock.

Again to go with the contour topic I went in Boots to specifically buy the Natural Collection Solo Eye shadow in the shade Crushed Walnut. Yes I know it's an eye shadow but Kaushal Beauty uses it for contour always talks about how amazing it is for that and I've also seen people using it for their eyebrows. So this product is a multi purpose one and I will be using it for contour, eye shadow and try it out on my brows to see if the shade is a match. And while I was getting that eye shadow I come across the Natural Collection Duo Eye Shadow in the shade Mocha And Latte which are a matte dark brown and champagne shade, I thought it would be perfect for an everyday eye look. The champagne shade for inner eye highlight, and all over the lid color and the brown for the crease.

The last four for this haul are lip products. I was really wanting a nice dark purple look, so I was looking in Superdrug for a certain lipstick that Amelia Liana used in her Day To Night Routine video which is the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade Dark Night Water - Oops but they didn't sell it in my local Superdrug store so I looked at what they did have and found the perfect one which is the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade 663 Va Va Violet, I also wanted a lip pencil to go with it and found the Barry M Lip Liner in the shade 11 Plum the two go together like a dream. I also got another lip look which is another purple one but more of a muted look than the other one. The lipstick is Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in the shade 18 Violin Strass and the liner is the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in the shade 064 Obsession.

I hope you enjoyed this post, if you want me to review any of the products after I've had enough time using them then feel free to leave me a comment of the ones you want me to review or contact me on any of my social media sites that are linked at the end of every post and the top right of my blog. Thank you.

Drugstore Haul #3

I have a nice little haul here for you to read today! I love seeing what people have bought and the reasons for their purchases, even though they always make me want to go buy what they have got.

First up is St Ives Apricot Gentle Scrub, I'm real lazy with my skin care but with my horrible dry skin I thought I needed a scrub to help clean, unclog my skin and remove the dead skin on my face and I've seen a few Youtube videos featuring this scrub so I thought I'd give it a try. With the sticker saying 'The UK's No.1 Face Scrub Brand' on the package also helped sell it to me. 

I've wanted for the longest time to try Soap & Glory products with it being so popular. I finally have bought some body products to try out and hopefully love! I don't have a shower so I kind of annoyed that they mostly have shower washes but I was glad when I saw the Soap & Glory Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath, the smell is delicious so I was sold. Next I thought I needed a lotion so I got Soap  & Glory Smoothie Star Body Lotion also mainly because of the smell, to me it smells like yummy popcorn. And lastly I got the Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub as this smell was the most appealing to me out of all the scrubs. What made me happy when I got to Boots was that there was a 3 for 2 on the Soap & Glory Indulgent Bathing Products. So be sure to hurry on up in Boots to catch this deal!

Seeing as I've had my hair dyed a little differently I thought it was appropriate to buy a couple new hair products to help care for my hair in this new state. I saw John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength 6 Effects + Serum in a Youtube video recently and I was automatically sold and wanted it straight away so I had to get it. Then I saw the new John Frieda Full Repair Repairing Oil Elixir and I was running out of my hair oil and thought what the heck I'll give it a try. I managed to get these with the buy 2 John Frieda Products for £8 deal in Boots, I bought these on the last day for that deal so it's no longer valid but I see there is a deal for buy 3 for 2 on selected hair care.

Next I was in Superdrug and saw that it for 3 for 2 on Make-Up so I had to get on in there and have a look. I've seen the Maybelline Colossal Go Extreme Mascara advert all over TV and with the original Colossal Mascara being my all time favorite I thought I had to give this a try! My second product was the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown, I was in desperate need for an eyebrow pencil as I hate my current one which is the Maybelline Master Brow Pencil in Soft Brown, it's too soft and blunts very quickly I just found it awful to work with. My third product for the 3 for 2 deal was the Maybelline Color Show Street Artist Top Coat in Artist White Splatter, pretty much because I wanted a new glitter top coat and like the look of this one.

Well that's all the products I got, well aside from a new toothbrush, 2 toothbrush caps and some Sure Men's deodorant for my boyfriend but they're not exciting and are very basic so I left them out. Ooooo no actually I did also buy a book, I know it's not beauty related but everyone and their mother has read this book and I'm late on this bandwagon but I literally couldn't find it in any stores in my town. Well it is now because I found it in Tesco.... And the book is The Fault In Our Stars. I maybe do a blog post on this book once I've finished reading it so stay tuned for that.

For the products I've mentioned I may do reviews on them after I've used them for a while so keep an eye out for those also. I hope you like this post, please comment if you have any of what I bought and whether you like them or not, I'd love to know or contact me on my social media.

My Favorite Lipsticks

I'm not an everyday lipstick person because it can be too high maintenance especially when I've got to work or I'm busy, so I won't wear any. But on my days off or when I feel like it, i pretty much have lipsticks that would go with any mood, season or outfit. And here are some of my favorites that I thought I would show you all, they're in color order that goes from nude to dark.

First is a nude, it's the Revlon Matte Lipstick in 001 Nude Attitude. As pretty much most matte lipsticks, it can cling to dry patches so I would advise your lips to be exfoliated and moisturized with chap stick. Aside from that I love this color, it doesn't wash my lips out as it's more of a peach toned nude.

The second and last nude in my favorites is Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 600 Nude Eclipse. Unlike the first nude this one isn't matte, it's more of a mix lip gloss and lipstick which is the best of both worlds. It's very easy to apply and doesn't wash my lips out as it's also a peach toned nude.

The third lipstick is Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in 027 Juicy Papaya. This is a lovely everyday better than your lips color, it's moisturizing and I opt for this when I don't want nothing to noticeable. I love lip butters, they glide on your lips and look lovely whether your lips are dry or not.

The fourth lipstick is Max Factor Color Elixir in 825 Pink Brandy. This is a pretty coral color, it's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice whether your lips are dry or not.

The fifth lipstick is Bourjois Rouge Edition in 02 Beige Trench. This is a kind of different color as it's a nude coral that had undertones of purple, I love this shade. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice whether your lips are dry or not.

This sixth lipstick is Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in 205 Elusive. This is a cute baby pink and I probably wear this the most as it's an everyday color. For being matte I find it moisturizing as it is a balm and doesn't look to bad on dry lips if I'm honest, it's also very easy to apply.

The seventh lipstick is Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 835 Berry Couture. This is another one of my most worn, as it's a beautiful pink purple shade and is a lovely pop of color for everyday. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The eighth lipstick is Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in 075 Lollipop. It's a cute pink shade that has a blue undertone, it's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The ninth lipstick is Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 005 Crush. On days where I'm feeling of having a noticeably kind of dark lip I pick this one. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look good whether your lips are dry or not as it's a balm.

The tenth lipstick is Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 102 Nova. I love to wear this when I'm in the mood for a cute pink lip, it has blue undertones. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look good on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The eleventh lipstick is Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick By Kate Moss in 107 Wine. I got this lipstick because it's one of Zoella from YouTube's favorite red lipsticks and she wears it a lot. It's the perfect red for me and I wear this on nights out. Even though this is a matte lipstick it's easy to apply and I don't think it's drying for the lips or clings to dry patches.

The twelfth lipstick is Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in 035 Backstage. As it's a dark color it can be a little hard to apply as any mistake will be very noticeable. It's quite moisturizing but I recommend you to exfoliate your lips before hand as dry patches can be easily seen. But I love this shade when I want a vampy dark lip.

The thirteenth and last of my favorite lipstick is Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 128 Starry Eyed. This is my favorite for a dark lip as I find it's moisturizing and easy to apply. But as it is a dark lip, imperfections can be easy to see so I recommend your lips to be exfoliated first.

I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe you found a new lipstick you'd like to try. Leave a comment or contact me on my social media lipsticks you think I'd like to try or if you have any of these and like them.
