Haul | Primark, New Look and Superdrug

So I treated myself to a spot of cheeky shopping while catching up with one of my old school friends.  I went into quite a few shops but only actually bought from Primark, New Look and Superdrug. I will provide prices for all products underneath the images and links to where you can buy online when applicable. All items were bought with my own money.

The first place I bought from was New Look. I had been looking for a leather jacket for so long and I really wasn't sure what style I wanted to go for. In the end I opted for one with a ruffled front and silver hardware. It was a comfortable fit and looked extremely classy. It would look lovely paired with anything but I will be mostly be wearing with my dresses.


New Look - £39.99 

The next thing I treated myself to was a new purse. Im actually quite bad for buying new purses but I wanted something that looked fresh and classy. I find that purse get dirty really easily and just look worn so I picked up this one. I've been wanting one styled like this for quite a while so I decided to finally buy it. I already really like it. It had plenty of space to store my (many) loyalty cards and a separated compartment for cash.




New Look - £12.99
Next I went to superdrug. I tried to refrain from buying all of the beauty products that I really wanted because I want to be able to fully try out what I haven't gotten round to using yet. I wanted to try out some new face masks. I haven't ever really used them before so I didn't go all out price wise. So to see how I got on with them I got two of superdrugs range on face masks. These were £2.59 each or 2 for £3.50.

Superdrug - 2 for £3.50 (£2.59 each)

After that I picked up a new eyeliner sharpener. I got the Barry M one because I liked how it had a plastic case for if I was travelling and had no bin around. I hate finding pencil sharpening all over my make up bag. I just reminds me of being at school again! Simple product, does the job. 

Superdrug - £1.99

The next item is a bit cheeky because I have SO many body moisturisers already but I wanted to see how this would work. I got the vaseline spray and go moisturiser because I am really bad at taking the time out to put lotion on and then waiting for it to dry before I can get dressed. I'm trying to trek through all my mini versions that have been given to me in those christmas sets. I made a promise to myself that once I used them up I'm allowed to try the vaseline one. The reason that I bought it in this shopping trip was because Superdrug were doing a deal where it was £1 off so I pinched myself one. I chose the cocoa butter scent/flavour(?) because I feel like it is relaxing and smells good on the body.

Superdrug £3.99 (original price £4.99)
I then got some chewing gum and a bottle of vitamin water but you don't need the whole shebang about that ;)

Next we go on to the primark stuff! I tried to just buy essentials rather than spending all of my money on things I didn't need. On the whole I reckon I did quite well. I'll get the boring stuff out the way first.

Every girl needs nice undies, I got some for £1. Nothing really special here.


Primark - £1

I then just got a pack of three black tights. Standard to buy in every Primark shopping trip I think. 

Primark - £3.00

Next on my list is a product I use multiple times per week. Its basically just a towel for your head after you wash your hair but it has a little elastic clippy bit which makes it so much easier. My current one is in purple and I have had for AGGGEEESSSSS so I needed an upgrade. They had loads of different patterns this time so I chose the giraffe print style. This was meant to be £1.50 but when I was looking at my receipt it came to £1. I know I'll probably be buying these forever so Primark, please don't stop selling them. 

Primark - £1
I wanted to buy something to jazz up my leather jacket with, something cute. I saw this scarf and really liked it! It's black and white so it will go with pretty much anything. Also, its one of the snoods which means theres no lose ends flying about and it just fits snug around your neck. 

Primark - £4


When I was browsing the shoe section I came across a load of beautiful boots that were on sale from the winter months. I fell in love with them and thought that they would look lovely with dresses and skirts while the weather isn't too hot. There were some that I preferred but only had them in teeny tiny sizes, so I settled for these beauties! 

Primark - £10


Annnnnnnddddd finally from the world of primarni I got a set for 4 stackable rings. I am awful for remembering to wear rings so I've decided that I'm going to wear them more often. I prefer the thinner rings which you can bunch together compared to the large chunk of metal rings that stop your fingers from fully functioning. These were super cheap and really cute.


Primark - £1



Thanks for listening to me ramble about what I got myself! Hope you enjoyed it. Speak soon bloggers.

Mini Haul | Primark & New Look





Recently, I took a trip down to my local Primark and New Look. Now I must admit, I didn't buy much, 3 items to be exact. However, considering Primark doesn't have a website, I'm sure just showing what I got will save you time and effort in trekking around the store to find out the bargains.


If you want to have a browse at what is in New Look, you can check out their website of goodies here

When I was out shopping I was looking for more summer style clothes - skirts/dresses in particular. I wanted to stock up ready for the (hopefully) warmer weather coming to England.



I went to Primark first and I found a black, skater style skirt which I have been obsessed with. It can be worn high waisted or lower down on your hips however I prefer the high waisted look and I have been pairing it with fun bright coloured tops and tanks as the skirt is a neutral colour. It was a bargain at only £8. 

I then found a top which says ' I moustache you to be mine'. I LOVE moustache gimmick items, I think they are really cute. One thing about the top is that it is quite sheer so you would possibly have to wear something underneath it. This top was only £4 and I really like it. It is something I would wear with a pair of shorts and vans. 
 

Top - £4 - Primark
Black skirt - £8 - Primark


When I was in New Look I didn't really find many items I liked - normally I have to decide on my favourites because I pick up too many things! I was browsing around and saw this lovely large black bag. I have a smaller version of this which has lasted me for the best part of 4 years now and its still going strong so I decided to buy this. I am using it as my everyday bag when going out whether it be shopping, college or work. It is so spacious inside and I can fit enough in there for every scenario without it getting too cluttered or heavy. It has an adjustable strap and multiple pockets and compartments for all your nick-nacks. I think the bag was reasonably priced at £17.99 and well worth the money considering it will last. 


Bag - £17.99 - New Look
