Shopping Haul!

Hello my lovelies. So my lovely mum took me shopping on Saturday as a tiny break from my exams. I had a little bit of a haul and put the things I like the most in this post! I didn't spend much at all and I got loads of lovely bits. The photo above is the outfit I wore shopping. Kimono was bought in h&m in New York, shorts are Primark and top is New Look. 

First of all, I went to my one and only, Penneys. Or as my followers outside of Ireland say, Primark. You can't go in and not buy anything, that would be a crime! So I got the pack of bobbins that is like €1.50, I got some plain black running shorts for €4, I got my boyfriend a mug with a pug on it for €2 (we are both obsessed with pugs) and then I got the prettiest pop up linen basket as seen below. I have been looking for one for ages and this one is so cute and it matches the theme of my bedroom perfectly! Also, I will possibly be moving out in September for college and I thought this would be perfect in a little apartment bedroom. Okay, I also got this gorgeous white hippy top.  It cost me €11 and I am in love with it. I will probs be wearing it all summer. It's just so cute and so me! Okay so I also got 2 necklaces, the green one was €5 and the colourful one was €6! :) They are as cheap as they come guys! And they're so pretty and will make any outfit pop! I really can't wait to wear them.  I think that was all I got in there but I can't remember! Anyways! 

I went into boots and got a few things also. I got this Garnier deodorant for €2 something on offer. I have used it once and so far so good! I am really loving Garnier products at the moment. I think they have a new business plan or something because they're releasing loads of new products at the minute, there are loads of offers on everywhere for their products and they are all really working well for me! Whatever you're doing guys, keep it up! My Mum bought me the Rimmel sun shimmer instant tan. I have not used it yet, but I hope it's good! I have used one of their tans before and it made my skin go red after a few minutes so I hope they have improved their products and this mishap won't happen again! And the last things I got were some Herbal Essences hair masks. I have used the purple wash out mask before and it is amazing. It makes your hair super soft and shiny for days. I highly recommend you use this product with the matching shampoo and conditioner. I may do a before and after with the hair mask?? Yeah guys? ;) Okay so the red mask is my sisters, I have never used it and I bought the little purple one for the first time and am yet to try it out. Each of these products cost €6.49 on their own. But this is the best part. They had an AMAZING offer on these products. The 3 of them cost me €6.50. For 1c extra, I got 2 more products. The offer ends sometime in JULY so ladies, GET YOUR BUTTS TO BOOTS AND GET THESE PRODUCTS. Seriously they are amazing. 

Okay, I saved the best till last. I went into tkmaxx and found the most beautiful kimono. It was €27, I think. They only had it in medium, and I am quite tiny but I had to get it! I am so in love with it! This photo really does not do it justice, it is so colourful and feels beautiful. The black detail on it is velvet and the rest is sheer and just so soft. I love it love it love it! I don't want to wear it out incase I ruin it! It looks like it is vintage and beautiful and its just so perfect. I have a current obsession with kimonos so I was pretty excited when I found this. But because I am such a good girl and I am doing so well in my exams, my beautiful mum bought it for me... <3 This gorgeous kimono will make any outfit pop!

Sorry this has been so long! I am very happy with my shopping trip. I think that is everything I bought. Ah well. Hope you enjoyed this post!

Thanks,

Victorias Secret NYC

So I went to New York for my 18th birthday and I took a little trip to Victoria's Secret. All I can say is wow. The whole place was gorgeous. Pink, feathers, diamonds and sparkle. It truly is a girls world! I wasn't able to buy much because I didn't realise that one simple bra would cost me $50... But I did buy 2 cute pairs of underwear that are sooooo comfy and beautiful. Next time I go to NYC (trust me there will be a next time) I will know to save up a few hundred dollars to splash in VS. But here are some photos of the store and my purchases. I will put up a NYC post and maybe a NYC shopping haul post? Not that I bought loads... Anyhoo! Enjoy xx

 These are what i bought :) I think they were about $15 each? But I loveeeee them! 

 Thank you for shopping at Victoria's Secret NYC. 

Shopping Haul

Had a tiny bit of a shopping haul. Nothing was that expensive thank god but I used these to go out for my 18th birthday on saturday night. 

The black peplum top is from Primark (€9-I think!) and the shorts are also Primark and were €11. I wore the black top with leather leggins from Zara which I will post also. The shorts are perfect for the beautiful weather we're having and will go with nearly anything :D 

I was going to wear a dress on saturday night, so I used the exfoliator from The Body Shop, then used the body butter and then I used the Cocoa Brown tan. First of all, the exfoliator is amazing. Your skin feels super soft after using it, especially combined with the body butter. The Body Shops products never fail to make me happy :D So afterwards I used the Cocoa Brown tan. You need to use a tanning mit for this 'New Dark Shade Tan Mousse'. It isn't streaky at all and has a really natural glow afterwards. Personally, I have quite olive toned skin, so it looked pretty natural on me and I left it on for about 2 hours before washing it off. If you have lighter skin I am not sure this would work on your skin, as it is quite a dark shade. But I have used other tans and this is the best one that I have used. I highly recommend this at only €6.95 in Primark. 

Finally, I got the Katy Perry perfume 'Killer Queen - Oh so Sheer' for €16 in The Perfume Shop. It is so fruity, sweet and lovely, perfect for the spring months. I also got Max Factor lipstick in the shade Firefly 755 from Boots. But I unfortunately don't remember the price. I haven't used it yet but I will write a review soon.
