Topshop and Boots shop!

Now I am working more or less 5/6 days a week I often don't really fancy doing anything on my days off. So much so, I haven't been into a big town or shopping for what feels like ages! So today, my stepdad and I quickly drove to a big town near us and I had a little look round the shops. Why is it when you have the time to browse and more money than usual that things in shops just don't appeal to you, yet when I have no money everything looks great?!

So I'll start with Topshop! 

I got this top for £25. It is a navy and white stripe tee with a bit of lace at the bottom and the sleeves. 

I think it will look nice with a pair of jeans, either blue or white, or even with a pair of shorts or a skirt. 

I also picked up this choker for £5.50 in the sale. I'm a little bit obsessed with chokers at the moment!

I really liked this one when I picked it up, it's a bit different compared to usual chokers and I also really love the teal colour. 

I bought this set of rings too for £8.50 in the sale. I love stacking rings at the moment so I think a few of these on my hand would look really cool.

I like that this set has a selection of rings as well as midi rings. 

Excuse my sausage fingers!

What I got in Boots!

I've repurchased this time and time again. It really is one of my favourites, it's very soft and nourishing, leaving your hair feeling silky smooth and smelling amazing too because of the honey extract in it. These are both £2 off at the moment too!

I picked up these make up sponges because they are so easy to apply nail varnish to and do an ombré effect with.

I know practically all bloggers don't favour these, but I love them! They are so much easier to use. Just wipe my face and it's all done! I do also have make up removers, toners, cleansers etc but if I want to take my make up off quickly before bed I'd just use this!

I can't find my old tweezers anywhere and these are quite cheap so I got these.

I also got some scissors.

I got this fake tan spray by Garnier, I really like this one, it dries quickly, makes you looked tan and not orange and I personally think it smells quite nice too.

Another repurchase here with Loreal Super Liner Ultra Precision eyeliner. This one is a very bold black and has a wonderful staying power.

I got Soap and Glory's Hocus Focus illuminator which I am quite excited to try. I usually really like most Soap and Glory products so I hope this will live up to expectations.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little haul! Thank you so much for reading, love A, x. 

I splurged in Boots!

I wanted to put myself on a little spending ban until the summer as I'm the type of person to spend, spend and spend! So instead of popping into Superdrug or Boots on my lunch break at work I'd bring some food and a book and sit in the staff room. So this was going well..until today. I crumbled a little when I was out in a bigger town with my mum and sister. I saw a Boots and went inside, picked up a basket and broke my ban.

In my defence there was a 3 for 2 and I got a lot of things that were double points or triple points. Woohoo!

These were on offer and are great if I don't have the time to use a lot of different products to remove make up. I always like to have some of these available even if I do tend to use a liquid make up remover followed by a cleanser.

My hair is looking and feeling a bit lacklustre recently and I'd quite like to have it cut soon. So I picked up this one to try as I usually really like Sanctuary Spa stuff and this was about £2 or so.

I also picked this hair mask too as I've used it before and really liked it as it left my hair feeling silky smooth and with a lovely shine. 

Another one of my favourite hair masks. 

Montagne Jeunesse are one of my favourite brands of face packs/skin care. I got this black seaweed peel off mask which I haven't tried before.

I also picked this one up too! At the moment I'm really loving the smell of  coconut, even if I'm not so keen on the taste! 

My favourite foundation..ever? I got this in the shade 100 ivory. I'm not so sure if it's anti-fatigue effects work but i think this is fab all the same! 

Another one of my favourites, the Herbal Essences Bee Strong shampoo and conditioner. It leaves your hair feeling soft and smelling amazing too! I'd definitely recommend this!

I have heard a lot of good reviews about this powder and I hit pan with my last one so I thought I'd give this one a try. 

The powder I got was in the shade 005 silky beige. 

I started using this deodorant about a year ago as I have quite sensitive skin. It's also aluminium and paraben free.

My hands are feeling quite dry at the moment so I picked this hand cream up.

I've been looking for this mascara everywhere and it's my absolute favourite! I would definitely recommend this mascara to anyone.

I had this gel liner before and really liked how easy it was to use and how bold the colour was too. 

I got this Barry M pencil eye liner in a dark purple metallic colour. I thought it would look different and cool for a night out. 

I'm looking forward to using this Seventeen clear mascara in the summer or even just for a more natural look. 

I picked up quite a few new nail varnishes too which I used a lot of my boots points to pay for. I wanted to try the new Revlon Parfumerie nail varnishes as they looked so interesting and vintage. I got the shade Moonlit Woods and even though they are supposed to have a smell I couldn't really smell anything different to another nail varnish. 

Two more polishes were from the Rita Ora collection from Rimmel London. I got a very light pink shade called Lose Your Lingerie and a pastel blue shade called Pillow Talk. 

I also got a Maybelline colour show polish in the shade love lillac. And another Rimmel London colour in the shade Cute as a Kitten Heel. 

Phew! It's safe to say I bought a little too much more than I should have! But it's all stuff I really like and will use so it's not exactly a waste.. Hehe right?!? Anyway, thank you so much reading I hope you liked this post. Love, A x.
