Primark Haul ♡



So today me and my mom went into Primark because I wanted 1 pair of trousers which I saw in THIS post that Alicia did. But as per usual ended up almost buying the whole shop! I'v never been the biggest fan of Primark until recently but now I love it! As you'll see the 3 bags aren't all mine but with the clothes and shoes in there at the moment they could quite easily be! Also I'd just like to apologize for the photographs in this post, my camera insists on flashing sometimes... not fun!

Top...


£2
The picture really doesn't do this top justice. Its a pretty loose peplum style in a mint green colour. I think because I have light hair and skin mint and pastel shades look nice on me and its going to look nice with a cream cardigan in the transition between summer and autumn and then again in spring. This top was also just £2 reduced from £4 in the sale! Bargain!

Trousers...




£6

These are the riding pant style trousers Alicia persuaded me to buy (So I blame her for all of this ;) ). The only problem I had was red or grey? But at just £6 each I couldn't possibly choose! They are so soft and will match a lot of things and can be quite easily dressed up and dressed down. I also love the detailing down the sides.


£6
Another pair of trousers I bought are these plain grey ones with a crease down the front. They are also really soft and just £6 again. They are abit like the cigarette style trousers and are a bit more formal than the riding pants style ones.


£10
The last pair of trousers I got are these blue disco pants style ones. I'v wanted some disco pants for so long but never found any reasonably priced ones that don't look cheap. The pictures don't do these justice again because it flashed but they look a lot more expensive than £10! They were reduced from £18 and to be honest I wouldn't have payed that for them but they are definitely worth a look for £10. They also come in grey and black and I think I might have to go back for the black at some point.

Shoes...



£8

The last of my purchases was these black ankle booties. I think they will match the red riding pants and will look nice with a skirt and over sized cardigan when autumn really hits. They also have a tan colour which I wanted to begin with but they didnt have my size so if I wear these lots then I will just have to go back and buy them too!

A quick THANK YOU! ❤

Earlier this week me and Alicia noticed that we got 1000 page views! This is amazing so we would just like to thank everyone reading this and has read any of our other posts it really means a lot.

Baby Lips❤


Finally Baby Lips have landed in the UK yes yes im late writing a blog post about them but I just couldn't resist! I have got 4 of the famous baby lips I have Peach Kiss, Pink Punch, Hydrate, Repair. They are all so nice and add a lovely texture to you're lips and they are great if you don't want to wear a lipgloss but still want some colour then these are perfect! I have not purchased all of them yet but I might be having a full collection of baby lips very soon!






Pink Punch
This one is the brightest I own and it adds such a nice colour to my lips and its not overpowering either it look natural on and I normally wear this for school as it is noticeable but doesn't stand out alot!




Hydrate
Hydrate is by far my most used and I love it! It just adds a very sheer clear coat to your'e lips and just keeps them soft.... I use this one everyday as its just nice to keep your'e lips looking nice and soft! I really recommend this one as it has helped me with sore lips!


Peach Kiss
Peach kiss is just a light nude colour with a hint of sparkle in I think! This one adds a lovely natural colour to your'e lips!



Repair
When I brought this is also brought the blue one but when I got home I saw that they were nearly both there for the same use! The yellow one is the same as the blue one really but is there to repair your'e lips then to hydrate them! I recommend both but I personally think that the Blue one does repair and hydrate where as I think the yellow isn't that effective.




Leave a comment if you have tried baby lips and if so why is it your'e favourite?!
Thank you for reading

Primark Haul❤





YAY HAUL TIME.......... Well since I have not been shopping in ages me my mom and my grandmar and par just went for a little shop so we just went to primark and trust me I can't just pop in a see whats there I end up coming back with a big bag full of clothes!



Shoes:
So I think that primark do the best shoes ever I mean I love topshop and office shoes but sometimes when fashion keeps going in and out its better to buy cheaper then it is to go and buy expensive so on with the picture.......

£12.00

£12.00

Here are the topshop look a likes these babys where £12 and they are just black leather with a little cuban heel! I think these are the best look a likes for a pair of topshop shoes and im seriously going to be wearing these all autumn!




£12.00

Next I just brought these light brown brogue style shoe as I thought I could wear them with my thick black tights and a big cardigan ready for autumn but I could also wear them with my jeans and a nice simple top with a big knitted cardigan over the top.


Winter Wear.....
So as its winter I thought why not buy a new coat and a scarf and some gloves!? I already have my winter coat from last year which is just a topshop one but I have been admiring the green parka's and I didn't want to pay full price incase they went out of style quick so I just brought one from primark and its lovely! I can't wait to wear it when it snows! Its this dark green/ brown colour with fur around the hood (Don't worry its not real) and inside is a soft fur wool and there is leather trim all around cuffs and the pockets.



£25

£25

The next thing I purchased for school to put over my blazer when it gets cold is just a snood and the matching gloves as we can't wear coats for school so we just have to bundle up! The snood is a chunky cream knit and so are the gloves.
£4.00 Snood

£2.00


I also wanted just a normal scarf that I can wear with my jeans and my cardigans and just my coat so I was seeing on Instagram that everyone was buying these lovely thick tartan scarfs and I instantly fell in love and tartan is very in at the moment so I thought why not... So I brought that and thought I could wear it with my brogues a nice blouse and my jeans. It has a dark blue in the background and is covered with a red and a blue and green the picture really doesn't do it justice!
£4.00




Tops, Cardigans, Trousers and Belts:
So there wasn't much tops or cardigans that I like there so I just brought a few things! First I saw this lovely fluffy baby pink cardigan which looks exactly like one that my mom has from river island but I didn't want to keep wearing my moms so when I saw this I had to get it! It will look lovely with a dress as well and also with my jeans again!



£12.00

And then I just brought this pink and grey blouse as that's what people seem to be wearing at the moment and tucking it in to there jeans and wearing a brown belt and some oxford style shoes so I wanted to get one! The only size they had was an 8 so its a little big for me but I really wanted it! The blouse colour is baby pink and then goes to grey on the shoulders and the arms!




£10.00

I then saw that they had some black legging/ riding trousers and I have been looking for some of these for a long time but again I didn't wan't to pay full price for some! These are just like a black legging type trouser with a quilted pattern buy the pocket!


£6.00

£6.00

And on to the last thing I brought........ So I was looking on H&M for a nice brown and black thin belt and they were out of stock so when I was looking in primark I was trying to find one the exact same but I cam across these belts that were in a set of 2! The black belt has studs along the belt and the brown one is just plain! I thought these would go well with my jeans my brogue style shoes and my blouse tucked in!

£2.00

£2.00


 And thats it that is the end the haul! I hope you liked it and me and Abbie are very sorry that we are slow at putting blogs up we don't seem to have a minute with homework, school and trying to complete coursework! We are going to try and post more OOTD's and an Autumn lookbook?!

Autumn Outfit Of The Day...

Formal Autumn OOTD...



So earlier today I went to a christening. As its almost October I wanted to wear an autumn colour dress because I expected it to be typically British and quite cold, however, sunny and 23 degrees isn't something I'm gonna be complaining about anytime soon!

To make this more Autumn appropriate I would wear a black cardigan and black tights, which is what I was going to wear if the weather wasn't so nice.

 So this is what I wore...





Dress and belt - Newlook
Shoes- Primark
Bracelets- Pandora & Thomas Sabo Charm Club


Hair & make up...



These pictures were taken when I got home which is why I'm beginning to look shiny but I went for a very subtle minimal make up look with a soft smoky eye and quite bright lip. I french plaited the front section of my hair which you cant see very well but just kept the whole look very simple.

School Makeup....

Back to school Makeup.....









So as me and Abbie are back at school know I thought I would show you what makeup I use for school! I only tend to wear natural makeup because covering your face with foundation is not nice let me tell you that. I don't tend to wear much just the normal wich consists off conceler, mascara and stuff like that.... Its perfect and lasts all day really as I don't take any makeup to school I mean I have no time to apply makeup and honestly half the time I can't be bothered... so lets get started!



Face.....





First I tend to apply my conceler which is the Collection Lasting Perfction conceler  in the shade 03 Medium and I just apply this under my eyes as I have dark circles I mean waking up at 7 is not my thing! also I just apply this to any blemishes and  I just apply that with my Beauty Blender . The next thing I apply is some BB cream and the one I use is the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream  which is for oily skin and I just apply this mainly to my T-Zone as this is where I tend to get more of and oily effect on my skin and I use the Mac Foundation Brush 190. I then  apply my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder  in 02 Rose Ivory which is to set my BB cream and to cover the oil that is lying on my face and I apply this to my T-Zone once again with the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and it lasts all day in my opinion! and then I just apply my Benefit Hoola Bronzing powder  to my cheek bones with the Mac Brush 187 






Eyes.....





The eyes are really natural I just apply some mascara which is from Lancome  and is limited edition so I don't know if they are still doing this mascara at this time! Very natural like I said but sometimes I might just add any light eyeshadow like one from the Naked Palette 2 but not everyday.



Lips.......




For the lips just plain and natural again I just use my babylips that I am obsessed with and have been since my american beauty gurus have spoken about them on youtube! I tend to add first the Peach Kiss ( which is that purple one) and it just adds a nice colour to my lips and then I just add the Intense Care ( which is the yellow one) and this just keeps my lips nice but also adds a bit of colour.




That is all from me and I hope you like it! This should be the last school related post know as school season has started again and we are thinking about doing a fall series with a fall look book or something like that! Me and Abbie will try and post as much as we can but we are back at school with loads of homework, exams and coursework to finish but we shall try our best to post!
