Haul | Primark Mini

I've been trying hard to keep a good flow of posts going this week, hopefully I will do a blog post everyday, well that's what I'm aiming for.
Anyway so a few days ago I went on a little shopping trip to the primark in Bournemouth town centre. This is a huge deal for me as I barely ever get the chance to spend money on clothes or to actually go to the town centre. Its such a long walk away and cycling.. well. UGH.

So I got the bus.. I discovered there's a bus stop literally down my road, (which means more trips yippee!) so yeah here is my mini little primark haul, not a big one as I'm poor (haha) but a bargain one nevertheless.

So first of all I bought these two cute little plain t-shirts.

The grey one is a ilovemycroptop collection and the teal is just a stretchy top.

The grey one was on sale at £2

and the teal one was £3.50 :)

I just needed these as I had nothing to coordinate with my crazy hair colours and I was fed up of having clashing colours all the time.. so neutral colours for me! :)

Fluffy Rose Jumper - £7

Next I bought this jumper, it was in the sale section, again I was circling that area like a hawk.

I was after one of these jumpers after I bought a green cardigan which is similar material and it's SO warm. 

I instantly saw this on sale and I was like *yank*

Its super cosy and fluffy, not itchy at all I can't wait to wear it.

*sooo fluffy* 

Grey Knit Cardigan - £5

Yes.. this was a fiver. I literally could not contain my excitement when I discovered this beauty.

Its so warm, so cosy and its really soft, its not an itchy knit at all.Why this was a fiver I have no idea, but it was a complete bargain. This is probably my favourite item I bought. It's just a chilling super baggy cardigan that you can chuck over anything. Again it's neutral grey so will match whatever hair I have at the time.

Love it.

.. and here's me wearing it. super baggy, super comfy and super cute.

Pinafore cord dress - £12

This dress I am actually contemplating taking back. It was really hard to photograph by the way so apologies. But I just don't think the fit warrants the £12. I usually like quite figure hugging items due to my chest but it just sits kinda weirdly around my waist.. I want to take this back, but I can't find the receipt, I don't think the lady gave me one so now I'm sad. :(

So this was my mini primark haul, I know it's not very big but on student budgets I can only afford to treat myself every once in a while ;)

Thanks for reading, Hope you enjoyed it.

Winter Wishlist & Must Have's - Makeup!

This is my makeup/beauty version of my winter wishlist and makeup products I love and will continue to use all throughout winter! Again I used Polyvore to create this and all the links to products etc are through my account on my profile right here.

Makeup/Beauty Wishlist

1. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - Transparent, £3.99

Usually I buy the lightest shade in this, I think it's ivory perhaps, but its still that slight shade too dark for my face, as I'm soooo pale, anything with the slightest orange hint just makes me feel ridiculous. I love being pale, so for this winter I think I will try this powder in the transparent. I do however, love this powder, its not too cakey on my face if I use it moderately, but it stays matte pretty much all day!

2. Rimmel, Kate Moss Matte Collection Lipstick, £5,00

The price usually differs with this, I usually buy mine from fragrance direct, when they have offers on. The only problem is that the best colours go first. I do swear by this product though, I literally cannot find a matte lipstick so lovely, pigmented and matte. I think the shades are beautiful although I wish they did more! 

3. ELF makeup brushes, concealer, small stipple brush, £1.86 each

I am always trying to collect new brushes, I would really like to try the stipple brush for foundation for a more even coverage, I love having that flawless skin look, so I'm interested in how that would be better than the normal foundation brush. I also would like to try a more liquid concealer, although the one I use now (collection2000) is actually amazing.

4. Rimmel London, Glam eyes quad eyeshadow, £3.41

Recently I've been wearing more darker eyeshadows, and replacing eyeliner for a darker eye. at the moment I use a small palette from Elf that I bought in Florida, which is great but I would like to try a Rimmel product to see what difference it would make compared to the elf alternative.

5. Smashbox Photoready primer, Travel Size, £6.22

A free sample of this landed on my doorstep in some magazine, possibly ELLE, and I've been using this tiny little sample but I think primer's make such a difference, as I love a flawless finished foundation I think this primer really contribute's to the look. It smoothen's the skin and reduces pores significantly. 

6. Revlon Colorstay foundation, Ivory £12,

Out of all the products mentioned this is by far my favourite, I hate the fact it does'nt have a pump, which is really annoying, but I literally cannot find another foundation that matches my skin so perfectly, I use shade Ivory, which is light enough for my skin. I have tried previous foundation, more cheaper options not long ago but this is well worth the money. I bought mine recently on fragrance direct for £6, half the price!

7. Rimmel, 60 second nail polish, around the garden.

I've never been a nail person, but I'm trying to grow them.. with little success. I thought this was a lovely colour for the winter.

8. Rimmel, lasting finish, Mono blush, £4.41

My current blush is super pink and super bright. I want to try a more natural, toned tone blush for the winter. I thought again, Rimmel was an obvious choice. I think I'm just a sucker for Rimmel. sorry!

9. BLEACH London, semi-permanent hair colour,  Rose, £5

I am soon to be writing a review on BLEACH this weekend hopefully, I have been using their products for the last month or so since they came out, I just love the colour this rose gives, its such a lovely baby pink without being too over powering! trying not to give too much away so I can still write my review!

Thanks for reading!
