HAUL 2013: TOPSHOP, ESSIE, PRIMARK.






IT'S HAUL TIME. ONCE AGAIN. I just can't stop myself from buying things, which is the main reason why my bank balance hates me most of the time. 

ESSIE NAIL VARNISHES: I recently discovered a website called Fragrance Direct which sell a lot of Essie colours for only £1.99. When I found this out I just couldn't stop myself from ordering not one, not two but SIX different shades. Even though I hadn't seen many of these colours in the stores I didn't mind due to the price. I was able to purchase a really popular shade on many blogs, Bikini So Teeny. When I saw this shade on there I done a little dance...

The shades I ordered were (from left to right in the picture):
  1. Bikini So Teeny #219A
  2. Cascade Cool #220A
  3. Off The Shoulder #223A
  4. Mojito Madness #222A
  5. Delicacy #10
  6. We're In It Together #240
I'm glad I ordered the ones that I did as I love the majority of them, the colour Delicacy isn't normal a shade I would go for as it's like a pearly shade. However, being the nail varnish addict that I am, I will definitely try it out. 


TOPSHOP: I was just looking back at the photos I took and forgot to fully photograph my necklace from Topshop, how bad is that?! I had been looking for this bright blue jumper for absolute agesssssss and when I saw that Topshop had one I was always going in to see if they had my size and they never had it *sad face*. It was £36 so I kept saying 'do I really want it for this price?' as I did think it was quite pricey for a jumper. BUT then the Topshop sale came along yipppeee and this beauty of a jumper was reduced to £20 and I got student discount off which reduced it even further to £18. What a bargain eh?.

PRIMARK: Primark's necklaces never fail to impress me for the prices they charge. There's always at least one that I end up buying. The 2 I bought were £3 each, THREE POUND. I think they will both look lovely with a plain black or white t-shirt and even look nice with the right outfit on holiday. My second purchase was all thanks to Barbara from 'The Persian Babe' who recently featured this bag in a recent haul video. I had previously seen it in Primark but never purchased it for some reason and it was only when Barbara said that she had bought a replacement for when it breaks was when I decided I had to have it. I've had this bag for around 2 weeks and I take it absolutely everywhere with me, it's perfect! I recommend you all getting one of these bags as they honestly look more expensive than £8 and they are the best size bag for when you don't want to take a big bag out during the day. I'm tempted to get the tan colour too..

I hope you all enjoyed this haul, let me know if you like any of the items that I purchased or if you are going to purchase any yourself. Hope you'll all having a lovely week.

HAUL: Vero Moda

This is a shop that not very many people have heard of, but I absolutely love this shop. I always find such amazing pieces in there that I know I'll wear all the time. The prices aren't overpriced that much, the prices are around Topshop/New Look prices. I don't mind paying that little bit extra for something I know I will get the wear out of. 
The scarf has the most beautiful pastel colours on it & it just adds that extra little bit of colour to a plain outfit. I'm usually wearing a lot of black so this is perfect to brighten it up. I haven't seen any scarfs with this kind of design on them - it reminds me of the marble effect - the effects you used to do when you were in primary school! (please say I'm not the only one who remembers or done this?!)
The top was also available to buy in white but as I've said previously in this post I like wearing black! I loved the cut out design on the top and I must say it looks really nice on too. 

I'm extremely happy with both of my purchases from there (as always!) & as an added bonus I get 10% off for being a student YEAHHHH! 

SCARF: £16.00
TOP: £18.00

What do you all think of what I bought? Do you ever purchase things in Vero Moda?

Small Haul: Boots


I think it's safe to say I've been addicted to the 'Kate Moss' lipstick collection recently, I just can't stop myself from buying more shades as I love them too much!
Rimmel still had the 3 for 2 offer which I took full advantage of and purchased 2 of the 'Kate Moss' lipsticks and a 'Vinyl Gloss'.

Order of products in the picture:
  • Kate Moss lipstick - shade 101 
  • Kate Moss lipstick - shade 107
  • Vinyl Gloss - shade 'Pin Up' 
I absolutely love the smell of the lipsticks aswell, is that weird?! They smell just like watermelons, yum! I saw the shade 107 lipstick on this blog: http://birdle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/kate-moss-infamous-107-lipstick.html & I thought Beth's make up looked amazing with it which made me want to purchase the shade even more. The 101 shade has been raved about for some time now and I did only purchase it to see what all the fuss was about and to be honest I'm glad I did. 

Have any of you tried these shades?
