Fashion & Makeup Haul | Primark, Superdrug & Boots

What's the best thing about having two weeks off work? You guessed it; the extra shopping time. I thought I'd share a few goodies I've picked up over the first week of the Easter holidays (don't worry, this was not all one trip) so I guess you'd call that a 'collective haul'? Woah, I've never sounded more 'YouTube' in my life...

Primark.
Oh Primark, how I've missed you. I always leave it far too long between Primark outings and often find that I miss great products (namely, awesome Disney shirts and dupe handbags) that everyone else has the common sense to pick up before they sell out. Whilst I normally miss out due to my inability to stomach a Primark frenzy on Saturdays, I will happily venture in mid-week and enjoy the bargains without feeling like I wandered into Wall-Mart on Black Friday.

I grabbed two vest tops (the best kind, that come in every colour with adjustable spaghetti straps) in khaki green and white, and also a black cropped vest top that I'll wear under sheer shirts or as a larger bando type thingie. These are great for layering or for holidays.
As are Primark's espadrilles which I lived in last summer. I thought it best to pick them up in my size before they go.
I also couldn't decide between two paneled handbags and in the end I left with both. #sorrynotsorry
They were £8 each and FYI, I've used the black, taller one far more.

Superdrug.

I went a little Tanya Burr crazy and picked up two lipglosses in the shades Aurora and First Date, at £6.99 each. I'm thinking about doing a post on my Tanya Burr glosses, would that interest anyone? I also liked the look of her individual lashes, £5.49, and somehow they found their way into my basket too, oops.
From one YouTuber to the next - I grabbed a travel size Co Lab dry shampoo by Ruth Crilly (A Model Recommends) in the scent 'Rio'. This little cutie was only £1.99 and a great way to test it out before committing to the full size.

Boots.

Boots next, the one shop on the high street where I think I could loose several days of my life browsing the shelves, swooning and swatching. I finally caved at the Benefit counter and bought the ever popular 'Gimmi Brow', and lemmi tell ya, this thing had better work miracles for a painful £18.50! For comparison purposes, I also grabbed the L'Oreal 'Brow Artist Plumper' for a much more reasonable £5.99 (I have a blog, I can buy two of the same products at once it's... totally justifiable research).
I also replaced my Soap & Glory Brow Archery (I was clearly having a brow moment) and also grabbed three sachets of the Montagne Jeunesse Cucumber Peel Off Masks at a pound each. Steal.

Others & Extras.

This week I've also picked up this darling little dish (that I'm really milking in this post, eh?) from Sainsburys that says "Pretty Things". I saw it and thought it would be perfect for blog photos.
My lovely, very generous StepMum Anj (Hi Anj!) was super kind and bought me two new Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks in the shades 'Naked' and 'Obsessed', during a trip to London. I've written a review on these lipsticks here. Thanks Anj!
Last but hopefully not least, I've also jumped into the world of Face Oils and bought this 'Overnight Serum-in-Oil' from the Body Shop's Vitamin E range. I'm a bit scared but can't wait to see how I get on with it.


So keep your eyes open, I'm sure some of these will be making further appearances on here as I test and trail them all out. Let me know if there's anything you'd be particularly interested in seeing me review or if you've tried any yourself. I'd love to know how you got on.
