Collective Haulage - All The B's - Boots, and Boohoo

It's funny how things change isn't it, at the start of the month I was struggling a bit financially, and I was ebaying like a demon to pull together some Christmas funds, within a week though of the month starting my bank paid out on a longstanding PPI claim, I have money! I've been a good girl though I've paid off some bills, and I've made a major dent in my Christmas shopping but I have bought myself a few things, so yes this is a haul post! I haven't bought this all at once this haul is over the last couple of weeks, I'm going to do my haul posts like this from now on, saving the goodies till I have a few things to show you. Anyways on with the show :)

First up a Boots haul, as you know all the Christmas gifts are on 3 for 2, can you guess what I bought ? Well this year the amazing London department store and print designer Liberty has produced a range with feline icon Hello Kitty, and guess what it's being sold in Boots! My mum has already bought me a few bits towards my Christmas pressie, but I wanted a few more pieces - first up the Hello Eyes Eye Shadow Compact

The palette contains 8 colour including neutrals, smokes and a splash of colour

I was really surprised by this palette I really wasn't expecting these shadows to be any good, but believe it or not they are! they are so soft and as you can see here they are super pigmented

This is a super sweet palette, but do you know what the sweetest thing is, this a little Hello Kitty design embossed on the mirror :)

I also got the Hello Lips Lip Gloss Collection, this comes in a gorgeous metal tin, which I plan on storing

hair clips in :)

The kit comes with 4 colours Natural, Light Pink, Dark Pink and Plum

Again these are surprisingly really pigmented, there really is a full coverage gloss for all occasions in this kit. They also have a pretty pleasant fruity taste. My one concern with these is the wands, the Liberty print is beautiful but it's only a sticker, so I can imagine they may start to look a little grubby after a while which is a shame :(

So that was two gifts so what did I choose for the free one, well staying with the Hello Kitty and  Liberty collaboration I went for a phone case

This case will be great for most phone types, and it's perfect for keeping my Blackberry safe :)

OK, time to act my age now lol I also bought a few other bits in Boots including another one of the L'Oreal Color Infaillible eye shadows

I really love these eye shadows, and the shade I got was 021 Sahara Treasure, a lovely sandy gold

I also got my hands on the new 17 BB Blemish Balm

I'm a bit obsessed with these at the moment so I thought I'd try this one out, I went for Medium, but to be honest I probably could have gone for either shade and they seemed pretty adaptable

I'm going to do a full review of all the BB Creams I have for you but it will probably be after Christmas now, I have quite a few posts planned between now and when Santa comes :)

Finally I ordered this kimono shrug style top from Boohoo

This one is called the Erin. I really like the style of these I've already another one and I really fancy this one in the cream or the mustard - whoops! Never mind I'm not really intending to wear this at the moment but I think it will be nice in the summer over a vest and some jeans, or even over a black dress.

If you want to see more on this haul please check out this video I made, talking a bit more about the items I bought :)

So, that was my little haul, I have to be honest and say I've got a few other bits on their way, which I'll hopefully show in the next week or so x If you have any questions on anything please let me know xx 



Collective Hauling

Hi Guys
Just for a change it's time for a haul :) I have to say despite the initial wobbles at the start of the month I've actually managed to reign myself in a bit , still I have made a few purchases over the last two weeks so I thought I'd show you some of them :)

First up an ebay bargain :) I love the Dove Summer Glow Facial Moisturiser but when I went to try and repurchase it recently I was told it had been discontinued - boo :( It give a really nice gradual tan and it had a gorgeous smell so I headed to ebay where I found and absolute bargain - 5 full sized bottles for just £4.00 - result !

I also ventured into new territory for me and purchased a BB cream

I love the idea of these and really wanted to try them, so after reading a post from the lovely Charlotte from Lipglossiping I bought the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream in No 21

This is actually a pretty good match for my skin normally but as I'm faux glowing at the minute it's a bit light

I can't wait for the winter months to try this out properly but in the time I might pick up the new Garnier BB cream in the medium shade, we'll see how the budget goes ;)

Yesterday me and my mum went for a drive and ended up in Barnard Castle, we recently visited The Bowes Museum (see my post here) and we ended up buying 6 monthly memberships so we could go anytime wanted so yesterday we went to see the new Egyptian exhibit, and we had a lovely drive back through Weardale, Teesdale and Hamsterly Forest - one of the reasons I love living where I do is that within 20 - 30 minutes we can been in the middle of gorgeous moorland and open space or on beautiful beaches. Anyways enough of the rambling I ended up buying a few bits first of all in Superdrug.

I bought three lip colours from the Collection 2000 Cream Puff range. These have a super soft velvety feel on the lips and are actually matte lip creams as opposed to an actual lipgloss. From left to right Powder Puff 2, Cotton Candy 1, and Fairy Cake 3

I also bought another Collection 2000 lip product, yes I bought 4 lip products on one day, in my defence there was an offer where you could buy any 2, £2.99 Collection 2000 products for £4.00, so it would have been wrong not to ;) So I also picked up one of the Lock N Hold Lipglosses in Body Pop 1, a gorgeous candy pink

I also got a couple of nail polishes MUA No 16 a gorgeous bright pink

and the Beauty UK Gold shatter polish :)

I also picked a few other things including some nail polish remover pads, and the St Moriz Tanning Lotion

So that was a bit of hauling over the last week and a bit bad girl that I am, still I am going to try and recoup some of my hauling with some more ebay listings, I am being so strong it's untrue I have some fab stuff to list including some Marc by Marc Jacobs, some Miu Miu and more - keep checking my sidebar for updates. Any questions please ask xx
