Hiya Guys!
So for the past three weeks or so I've made some little purchases online and had two shopping trips to Leeds and I'm really chuffed with some of the things that I've bought, so thought I would share them with you.
Like I mentioned it's all within the last three weeks so everything in this post should hopefully still be in store, so you can go and grab them for yourselves. LET'S GO!
PS - I just wanted to add in case you hadn't noticed, I leave links to exactly where you can buy these products from. If you just click on the product name at the bottom of each individual section it will take you directly to the product for you to purchase it.
Lips in Boardroom
I have been looking for a grey/brown lipstick for SO long and my sister actually found this one online from Topshop. So when I was in Leeds yesterday I decided to go into the store and swatch it and it's perfect.
It is also a matte finish which is my favourite finish of any lipstick, but it doesn't dry your lips out either which seems to happen with some matte lipsticks. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a grey/brown lipstick.
£8.00 Lips in Boardroom
Harajuku Lovers
I am completely and utterly obsessed with these Harajuku Lovers Perfumes! My friend Brooke introduced these to me and I had to go online straight away and buy some because they're gorgeous. They are a perfume by Gwen Stefani (my childhood icon) and have been out for years now - I can't believe I've only just got them. I'm not going to lie I did actually only buy them because of the amazingly cute bottles but I guess the lovely fragrance is an added bonus!
I bought four perfumes in the 10ml bottles as they're the perfect size to sit on top of my make-up storage. The fragrances I got were 'Music', 'G' and 2 of 'Lil Angel'. Now if you're a fan of Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' I would suggest you get the Harajuku Lovers perfume in 'Music' it is a near enough exact dupe. I compared my Daisy perfume to the Music perfume with my family members are they couldn't tell the different. I can't find the exact links as I got these off eBay and Amazon but they were around £9.00 each.
Yankee Candles
I haven't bought a Yankee Candle in years since having a crazy obsession in like 2013 that got a little out of hand... But since Autumn is coming I thought I would treat myself.
My all time favourite scent from Yankee Candle is 'Black Cherry' I am literally obsessed with it. It smells good in any season but especially Autumn/Winter time. Another one of my favourite scents is 'Mango Peach Salsa' but this is definitely a more summery scent so I only bought a tiny one so I could burn in within the next week or so. I have tried so many brands of candles and always find myself coming back to Yankee Candle.
£18.99 Black Cherry - Yankee Candle
Unicorn Money Box
Yep that's right, who doesn't need a Unicorn money box in their life? When I saw this in Paperchase I couldn't not buy it.
If you know me personally or follow me on Twitter/Instagram you will know that my room is full of little cute and random nic nacs. I just love stuff like this and had to buy it.
£6.00 Unicorn Money Box
Gabriella X Primark
If you read my last blog post you will know that I was after a few things from the Gabriella X Primark range and they didn't have any in store. But when I went back to the Leeds store yesterday they had three out of the five items which I wanted and I was SO happy, although they didn't have the cat mug and heart mug :(
For those who don't know one of my favourite YouTuber's Gabriella brought out a 'Home' range in Primark. I managed to pick up three of the five items that I wanted and I am so pleased with them. The quality is incredible! I bought the Eye Mask (£1.80) which is a cute little kitty cat and it is SOOOO fluffy, not just on the outside but on the inside as well so it feels amazing on your face. I also bought the sippy cup (£4.00) and when I picked it up in store the first thing I said was 'How good is the quality?'. It's such a gorgeous pattern and is made from a really good quality plastic. So congrats to Gabby for your range, I love it! Unfortunately Primark still don't have an option to buy online so I will leave a link below to Gabby's interview with them.
Gabriella X Primark
Swiftly following on another one of Gabby's products I bought was the plaque (£4.00) which says 'Being yourself is the prettiest thing you can be'. How gorgeous?
I have hung this next to the mirror on my vanity so I can see it every day when I get ready and give myself a little reminder, you can see a picture of this on my Instagram.
Something else I got from Primark is the gold & sign (£4.00). This isn't from the Gabriella X Primark range but in most stores seems to be placed around that section so it shouldn't be too hard to find!
Fast & Furious 7
Let me tell you about Fast & Furious 7 - INCREDIBLE.
As soon as I saw this in Primark I bought it straight away. This was hands down one of the best films I've ever seen. I already have Fast & Furious 1-6 on DVD so needed this to finish my collection. Now when I went to see this in the cinema I cried like a baby - if you know me you know how much I cry at Titanic and I cried even more at this. Now that is saying something, the tribute to Paul Walker is just beautiful. If you haven't seen this film you need to ASAP.
£10.00 Fast & Furious 7
Real Techniques Deep Cleansing Brush Gel & Rimmel Wake Me Up Mascara
Since I own about 99% of the Real Techniques Brushes as soon as the brush cleaner came out I knew I needed to try this. I bought this from Boots and there was actually an offer where you buy one and get the second half price - this is still available and isn't just for the brush cleaner it can be used with any of the brushes! I haven't used this as of yet but be sure to follow me on Twitter to see my thoughts.
I also purchased the Wake Me Up Mascara by Rimmel in Extreme Black. Now if I'm honest I hate buying mascara because there is so much to choose from and I never know what to buy! But I purchased this as I really liked the shape of the brush and the fact that it came in 'Extreme Black'. Again Boots have another amazing offer - all Rimmel products are 2 for £10.
That is it for this weeks post. I have a very exciting post coming up next week which includes American Sweeties/Candy!
As always I hope you enjoyed the read and please let me know what you think!
