Yesterday I went shopping in White Water Shopping Centre with my sister as it was pay day last week, and I got ALOT of stuff, so I decided that I would do a Haul for you guys. I was thinking of doing a video too on my YouTube channel so if you'd like to see that please let me know :)
Well, let's just jump straight into it!
The First thing I picked up was some makeup, (I know, as if I need any more!) but I got really excited when I heard that there was a Too Faced stand in Debenhams in Newbridge so I just had to go check it out! I picked up one of the Melted Liquified Lipsticks in the shade 'Melted Nude' because you can just never have enough nude lipsticks! Haha! True to its promises it is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL nude lipstick that's not quite a matte finish but not quite a satin, somewhere in between. It feels really buttery, extremely pigmented and creamy and I can't wait to wear it and put it's promised 'Long Wearing' promise to the ultimate test! It was a little pricey for 22 euro (3 Euro more expensive than Mac!!) but you get a good bit of product, plus I had 10 euro on my Debenhams card so it really only cost me 12 which I was delighted about. Over all my first impressions of this liquid lipstick is all that I had hoped it would be, but stay tuned for an update later this week after a couple of days wear!
The Second thing I bought was the Real Techniques 'Miracle Complexion Sponge' which I am just DYING to try. I bought the Original Beauty Blender back in February and was blown away with how good it is and how well it works, but that doesn't take away from how expensive it is. Although, I would pay about 20 Euro for a foundation brush, I feel it would last much longer than my Beauty Blender will. I've only had mine a couple months and it has started to tear around the middle, which I am majorly bumbed about because I really do love it. But I decided to give the Real Techniques one a go because I have heard that it is just as good and it is a third of the price. Literally a third. It feels just as soft and bouncy as the Beauty Blender does and I hope that it works as well and that I will love it as much. Stay tuned for an update later in the week after a couple days use.
The Third thing that I bought was the Rimme Clear Complexion 'Clarifying Powder' which if you watch my YouTube videos you know I love the Match Perfection Loose Translucent Powder, but the Clear Complexion Powder is an oldie but a goodie and I wanted to try it as I haven't had it since I was a young teenager and it's only 5.99 as opposed to 10 Euro, it will also be handy as I dont have a blotting powder for when I get oily throughout the day and this will fit in my handbag perfectly and not make too much of a mess when I use it outside of my home, compared to the loose powder that just goes everywhere! So stay tuned again for yet another update after a couple of days use to see how it compares to the Match Perfection!
The next thing that I bought was a new Catrice lipstick. They have a new line out at the moment and the colours are just to die for. I got the shade 030 which is an absolute dupe for Mac's 'Velvet Teddy' except instead of a matte finish it is a satin finish. I think it was about 2-3 Euro and the quality of the product is exceptionally good for that price! It's super pigmented, buttery and creamy and I really love it for the price that i paid for it! Also I think the packaging is very slick, something sort of like the Laura Mercier Matte Lipsticks in a long thin tube. Over all I really like this product and will continue to repurchase it, the only downside is that because of it's similarity to Velvet Teddy, it is constantly sold out, but if you manage to get your hands on one buy it!
Moving On to clothes now, the first thing I picked myself up was a nice pair of white jeans. I love white jeans in the Summer, day time or going out I just think that they are so gorgeous! I got these in Bershka and they are part of their basic range, but are the high waisted jeans. I have about 3 pairs of them in black from when I worked in Bershka, as for 14.99 you really can't go wrong. They are super high-waisted but really stretchy and soft so they are very comfortable. I live in these jeans in black so I wanted to brighten up my wardrobe a bit by getting the white ones, as I think they will be an essential in my Summer wardrobe for going out or for working in the office for a bit of day time glam and like I said, for 14.99 you really cannot go wrong with these jeans.
The next item of clothing that I purchased was this coral-red blouse. I bought this in the Bershka Mid-Season sale reduced from 14.99 down to 12.99 and I have to say it was the colour that drew me to it. It is just a plain little blouse with a button detailing at the front and a crossover at the back. It's amazing coral-red colour would be absolutely fab with either my new white jeans, or my black ones so it really it is a purchase with many options. Like I said above, I'm really looking to brighten my wardrobe up with more colour so I thought this little blouse was perfect for just that. Also, how nice will this colour look with a tan?! I couldn't resist!
The next item I bought was a black and white sleeveless Komono style top which is just gorgeous!! I mean, can we just appreciate how lovely this top is. It was 24.99 which was a bit steep for what it is but it is beautiful so I felt like I needed to have it! Haha! I could wear it with my new white jeans or my original black ones. I am just obsessed with how pretty it is, it has a string that goes through each side of the front part, that ties at the front and has little tassles at the end which are a really nice detail and ties the whole look together in my opinion.
The last thing that I picked up in whitewater was two sets of earings from New Look. When I saw the dream catcher earrings I had to have them, they are adorable and gorgeous for day time wear or for going out. I also picked up these diamond ones as I loved the bottom ones, they are so glam! I also liked the fact that they came with two pairs of small earrings aswel as I have 3 lobe piercings and need small earrings so that they will all fit (anyone that knows me, knows that I have the worlds smallest ears!!). There was an offer on in New Look that if you buy one pair of earrings you get a cheaper pair for free so I only paid 4.99 for both of these, how could I complain!
The next few bits I bought were in TK Maxx which is one of my favourite shops in the world. You never know what kind of gems that you are going to find in there like honestly. I get so excited every time that I go in. I picked up the Real Techniques Essential Travel Kit which includes the Multi Tasker Brush, a Pointed Foundation Brush, and a Blending Eyeshadow Brush and I got it for 19.99 which is 8 Euro cheaper than it usually retails for, delighted!
I then picked up this little notebook for blogging. As anyone that knows me will know, I carry a notebook with me at all times in case I get an idea for a blog post or a video, and I usually write my posts out before I type them. Just because I like to have an account of everything that goes live on my channel and on my blog. This gorgeous little notebook has a lovely little message on it which I think is so appropriate for myself, as I try and surround myself with positive every and thoughts! It was only 6.99 which I thought was excellent considering the quality of the paper and the hardback! Love!
I then made my way to Penneys, which is where the serial shopping began! First thing I picked up was this suade Komono which I just feel in love with the second I saw it. It's just a big and long Komono which would look fab over my new white jeans (or the black ones). It's just one of those things that I had to get as soon as I saw it! It speaks for itself as you can see it is just fab!
I then Picked up this gorgeous top, which I also loved when I saw it on the manequin. It's a gorgeous sort of bat-wing style top with a bold print that is just to die for. It's really boho kind of style which is right up my alley and it's nice and loose which is ideal when I'm feeling a little body concious at the moment. it was 13 Euro which I thought was a good price for how nice it was as it is a top that can be worn casually with shorts or jeans, or worn a bit more dressy with nice trousers and heels for a night out. I love it.
The next thing that I picked up was this absolutely gorgeous underwear set. I was a bit hesitant to include this is a public post but it is just so beautiful I just couldn't resist but share it with you, as I know there will be a lot of girls wanting this as soon as they see it. It is a beautiful hot pink and cream set which comes with a bralette and a pair of high-waisted knickers. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it, as they had similar underwear this time last year but I wasn't able to get my hands on them. I think that it is an absolutely beautiful set. The top was 7 Euro and the bottoms were 4 Euro so you really couldn't go wrong with it. I also thought that it resembles the Triangl Bikinis and seeing as I don't swim, I think it could double as one for me if I managed to get away on a nice holiday this year. It is simply just gorgeous and anyone who says different is just crazy! Haha!
I then picked up these sandles as I pray for the warm weather in the Summer months ahead. They are closed toe, and have a gorgeous reptile detail on the leather with a strap across the foot. They were 13 Euro and I was delighted to see them in a size three and had to pick them up as they were the last ones. Let's hope that there will be warm enough weather in the coming months for me to wear them!
The next pair of shoes I picked up were an absolute must for me. I spotted them out of the corner of my eye whilst my sister was trying on shoes and instantly feel in love. It is these Limited Edition colourful high heels. Honestly, can we all take a moment just to appreciate how beautiful these are. They are a lot higher when they are on than how they look off, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are absolutely beautiful. I think the lace up front is what really makes them different but also makes them flattering on the leg as you have the bit of skin showing. I also love the almost aztec print that is on them along with the array of colours. I am obsessed with them. I cannot wait to go out and wear them!
The last thing that I picked up was this cute cup from the home-wear department.I honestly think it is the cutest thing I've ever seen! I am trying to drink a lot of water lately so carrying around this cup is definitely working for me as it is adorable. It holds 550 ml and cost 3 Euro which is a price that you just cannot beat and it is just the sweetest thing! I try drink 3-4 of these a day and drinking water has never looked so cute! Delighted with this little purchase and I love the message that it has written on it. I try and surround myself with positive energy and things with a happy message on them and this fits the ticket! I also thought it would be really cute to drink my water out of when I'm filming as opposed to a big ugly mug of tea!
I wasn't going to include these last two things as I didn't buy them on this shopping trip but only a few days before, so I decided then that I would just throw them into the mix as I have been loving them! I went to Dundrum with my boyfriend to buy his birthday present and afterall, a trip to Dundrum wouldn't be complete without venturing into Mac! I picked up two things while I was there, the Matte Finish lipstick in Taupe and the beloved 'Whirl' lipliner. As always with Mac, the quality is outstanding and the colours are simply to die for as well. I am obsessed with the colour of this lipstick. I don't wear them together as they are very different colours, but I like to mix 'Spice' with 'Taupe' and 'Whirl' with 'Velvet Teddy' for the perfect matches! In love!
So that's all for today guys and dolls, hope that you enjoyed this kind of post on my blog and please let me know if you do, or if you have bought any of the items that I have and have any suggestions? Also I'll keep you updated with the makeup products that I promised!
