Haul Plus OOTD

Hi everyone!

-

Today as promised I am doing a little haul as today I went on my weekly shopping trip and headed to MAC, Topshop and Lush - my usual 3 stops. I again bought another eye shadow from MAC, a top from Topshop which is actually a present and a lip scrub.

-

 This is the kimono I was walking about in my last post - New Look £19.99

 This lip scrub was my final pink item to add to the top of my make up storage along with my Hand Maid antibacterial and MAC brush cleanser. Lush - £5.50

 This is Phoof! from MAC which is my new favourite shadow. I did compare it to shroom and I just preferred it for some reason. I used it in my inner corners today and I loved it so I might be trying it on my brow bone tomorrow and start using it as a lid colour as well. MAC - £10 in the pan, £12.50 for the regular.

This top is a present for a friend that she specifically asked for. It's not my colour but they do have a nice khaki one that I prefer. Topshop - £8.

-

So there's my tiny haul guys, I won't be posting from next Saturday onwards for a week because I'm heading off again so expect a couple of holiday snaps on my Instagram which I also posted a lot on today (@xoclau_diaxo).

Haul

Hi guys!

-

I am doing a slightly smaller haul than planned today because I did find some items in Topshop however many of them weren't in my size so I ended up with two pairs of jeans. Then I headed to John Lewis and picked up a navy jumper from their KIN collection, I then got some JuJu's from Urban Outfitters, some nude pointed flats from Next, some flip flops from Accessorize, a set of rings from Topshop, perfume from Zara, and a nightie from Next.

-

 So on the left are my black jellies which are from Urban Outfitters, some nude pointed flats from Next and some gold flip flops from Accessorize.

 Then I got some rings from Topshop which have 3 midi rings and 3 finger rings. They have tiny flowers on, little ridges and come in gold and silver.

 I got some jeans from Topshop which are Joni jeans and I have been wanting some white jeans for ages as I have loads of colourful camisole's which I thought would be a great pop of colour in summer.

 This is my jumper from KIN. I actually wore it last night and it was so comfy. It's navy so it can go with anything and itsn't too heavy.

This is my NEXT nightie/playsuit from the nightwear collection and it's really cute! 

-

So I didn't photograph my other pair of jeans because I'm actually wearing them right now but they are also Joni jeans from Topshop however they are a really light blue colour. I also didn't photograph my perfume because I put a picture on my Twitter yesterday (@allsparklesblog) so you can see it there. I'm not sure of the prices of the items but if you really want to know you can comment below and I will try and find out for you. Have a lovely day!

Quick Topshop Haul

Hey everyone

-

So today I have once again treated myself to a large Topshop shopping spree. I brought 9 items and I am unsure of the price of each individual item but all together this cost £163.50. I admit I did buy a lot of clothes but I also went to Primark and brought a black kaftan and orange/coral bikini. I will be posting a clothes wishlist tomorrow and be posting that online. 

-

-

I got a black cropped cami which will come in really handy in the summer when I want a light top to wear.

I then brought the same top in a coral/orange colour which is a little more summery.

I then brought a pair of frilly ankle socks which are really in at the minute and have been for a while. I am planning to get more colours like pink, blue and black.

I brought a bikini which is navy and white stripe which I thought would look with a white cover up and beach bag.

I got a top to wear on the plane which is just a light, long sleeved white top.

Then I got a cropped petite shirt which I think would look really great with some high wasted shorts, sandals, and a white bralet.

I got a babydoll denim dress with two pockets on the side which is a really cute day dress.

I am actually wearing at the minute a burnt-out pink jumper which is so comfy!

Finally my favourite garment is the white seam bralet which is really easy to wear.

Thanks for reading guys and I hope you have a lovely evening!

New Beauty Buys

Hi guys!

-

On Saturday I started my first week of my little budgeting project which I have talked about in just about all my recent posts - every 2 weeks I go into town with some money and buy 1-3 things from make up brushes to sunglasses so I will be ready for my holiday. Anyway I only brought 5 things, but I am classing 3 of the items as one thing because they are all very similar, from the same brand and the same price, but they were on offer in Boots. The other product I got from Boots is a replacement for 'The Cookie Exchange Tin', which had unfortunately sold out as it was a Christmas special, so I got something else instead which I used this morning, and LOVE. Finally I went to Lush to find a product I have had on my wishlist for a while now and am very excited to use!

-

-

At the top are the 3 Barry M nail varnishes I brought from Boots. There was a three for two offer on so I got these three regular nail varnishes (not Gelly or effects) for £5.98. Left to right on the top picture - Nude, Strawberry Ice Cream (Picture of me wearing it on my instagram @iceicebby), and Shocking Pink. I have had to apply Strawberry Ice Cream about 4 times over because it is a really pale colour, but if you prefer a subtle colour then applying the colour twice will be fine. It hasn't chipped yet and I have been wearing it for a day now, so I'm pretty impressed.

Next I went to Boots to buy the Philosophy Cookie Exchange Tin which was on sale, however this was a Christmas special and it was sold out in the store I went to, and because it was  Christmas special, they won't be bringing out any more. I was pretty sad because I loved the smell of the body wash in the set, however the loveliest lady that worked in Boots recommended the Granny's Apple Pie Body Wash, Shampoo and Bubble Bath to me, and I loved it. It was £3.50 because it was half price I think. To me it smells like sugary pastry and sweet apples, and a little like popcorn. I used it this morning and my shower smelt like absolute heaven. I hope they bring out more flavours in my Boots store because I would love to buy some more!

Finally I brought the Lush Cupcake Face Mask which I think Tanya Burr or Zoella recommended a while back, and I love it. It smells like sweet chocolate cupcakes that have just come out of the oven, blended with refreshing, rejuvenating mint. I brought this for my holiday as last year my skin got pretty bad. It was mainly the sea and my face stung quite a lot and I was annoyed with myself that I forgot to bring my Lush Oatifix face mask, so this year I will be applying plenty of this face mask to keep my skin fresh. This was £5.95 and I brought it from a Lush store.

-

So I got all this for under £20, plus a delicious Strawberry Squeeze smoothie from a Boost juice bar (they sell the best smoothies ever!). It was pretty sunny the other day so I was drawn towards a summery smoothie rather than my usual Starbucks cappuccino - it made a very nice change! So if you guys wanted to see the Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream nail polish on me, then you can head over to my Instagram @iceicebby where you can find many more pictures of beauty things, and stuff I get up to! Have a lovely day!

Little Make Up/Beauty/Everything Haul

Hi guys!

-

If you saw my google+ post this morning then you will know that I was doing the photo every hour challenge today so because it isn't the end of the day yet I haven't stopped taking photos yet so that post will be up either later or tomorrow morning. Anyway today I went shopping and brought a load of products from body butter to nail varnish and here are some photos of what I brought.

-

 Barry M Nail Varnish Left to right - Gelly Mango, Peach Melba, Ridley Road - £9.98

 Lasting Perfection Concealer By Collection in Shade 1 - £4.19

 The Body Shop Passion Fruit Body Butter - reduced to £5

 MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow Pan Palette Re-fill - £10

 Keri Smith Wreck This Journal - £8.99

-

So I think what I love the most that I brought was my Wreck This Journal which I LOVE already! I also really like the concealer it is amazing after I brought the wrong colour last time I had dismissed it but I am so glad I gave it another try! Also I love the Satin Taupe colour from MAC to add to my palette however I have had to remove Sumptuous Olive and Sketch now because I have a quad. The Body Shop Passion Fruit smells like really fruity, summery yoghurt. That sounds really weird but if you get chance to smell one you will know what I mean. I am wearing the Barry M nail varnish Ridley Rode in my photo challenge post and it is a really cool texture like sugary-ish or something!

-

Just a little disclaimer I don't do these posts to show off or promote any products I only do them because you guys love them and I get requests to do them all the time! Thanks for reading everyone and I apologise for not posting recently do two posts today to make up for it! Check you g+ feed for when my next post goes live or follow me on google+ using the g+ icon on the right!

Final haul of 2013

Good afternoon everyone!

-

I can't believe this is the last haul of 2013! I know I have only been blogging since around October time but it has gone so quick, I can still remember writing my intro post like it was yesterday! Well anyway with my. Christmas money I went into town and I used all of my MAC voucher except for £5 of it! So here is what I brought!

-

This is a collage of everything all together!

-

Left to right - Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Set from Boots containing body butter, body scrub and body wash (£9 in the sale),  Blue/black glittery false nails from Primark (£1), False Eyelashes from Boots(£5.49), Red false nails from Primark(£1), Real Techniques powder brush from Boots (12.50), MAC blush in stay pretty (£18), MAC palette with new colour Sumptutuous Olive (£10 per pan), MAC concealed in NW15 (£15), and a dome shading brush from Real Techniques (£6)
-
I mainly got a lot of these items because of the offers in Boots for example a buy one get one half price on real techniques brushes and half price on all gift sets! I think I might do a what I wore for New Year's Eve and a look using all high end products then compare that with a drugstore look. Also I will do a few looks with my MAC palette! Wel thanks for reading everyone and have a lovely evening! 
Love Claudia
