Primark, H&M, Poundworld etc Haul

Hauls are my favourite post to do. I love looking at hauls on other peoples blogs, its fun to be a little nosy and get ideas.

Late September I went shopping with two of my lovely friends in our local town. We mainly visited Primark but popped into lots of other shops too.

I picked up a beautiful black knitted dress with a white collar from Primark. It had that kind of preppy feel to it which I liked. At £12 you can’t really go wrong. I picked up a size 10 and found with this item the sizing was slightly on the larger side.

I picked up a beautiful blue nail varnish from h&m called ‘Serenity now’ and a blue glitter polish caught my eye called ‘Did I tell you’ and thought they would be perfect together. Post on this soon! I bought some other bits too ;)

Have you been in Primark lately? What have you been swooning over in the shops? Xx

Leeds Weekend & Trinity Shopping Centre Haul

Hey you!

Today I wanted to show you a few bits I picked up in leeds shopping. I visited my auntie for a weekend and we spent a whole day shopping, it was lots of fun! 

We visited the trinity shopping centre which is fairly new and I’ve never been before and was rather impressed. I will be doing a separate blog post on this soon!!

I tried not to overspend while I was out and only pick up things I absolutely can’t live without. First off we popped into Next and they had a fabulous sale on. 

My eye was drawn over to the scarves straight away and I fell in love with the check patterned ones. I couldn’t choose between the pink and orange so I bought both and luckily there were on sale half price.

Later on we went into Accessorize and their pieces at the moment are gorgeous. I immediately saw a winter green trilby and after trying it on had to have it.

The Oasis store was really bang on trend and I could have spent a lot more in there. I tried on a pretty dress and was pleased with the style and fitted me well. I picked up a company magazine too.

Soap & Glory Pulp-Friction Foaming Fruity Body Scrub 250ml (£8.00)

Today I’m going to be doing a show and tell on a beautiful product I’ve been using. I received Soap & Glorys Pulp Friction as a gift and have been delighted with the results after use. It’s probably not something I would pick up myself but I’m so glad I’ve been introduced to it. I’m not one for fads and was just a tinsy bit sceptical at what the scrub claimed to do. 

To start off with the packaging is wonderful (like most of their items!). The fragrance is hard to put a finger on at first but the bottle states fig, peppermint oil, lemonade and orange! The scent is pleasant but I’m not always reaching to have that additional cheeky sniff! ;)

The consistency is just right and includes little beads to exfoliate. After massaging into damp skin I found it foamed up very well. There was no waste because the cream was easy to work into the skin and there weren’t any clumps. It was easy to wash off too.

After stepping out the shower and drying I found my skin to be a lot smoother. It’s a treat to use and have been totally converted to the Soap & Glory brand.

I think Soap & Glory are really on the money with this product and after researching it further on the boots website I found it had won a couple of beauty awards. (Buy here!)

Have you tried Pulp-Friction Scrub? Whats your favourite Soap & Glory product? Xx

Mini Primark & Superdrug Haul

Primark is known for its cheap and cheerful jewellery but often some of the designs can look a bit tacky. However it’s fun to root through the jewellery stands and on this occasion I picked up some gorgeous bits that you would maybe never realise came from Primark.

I was most impressed with the rings I bought because there so pretty and have a vintage style to them. Another piece that I just love is the peace sign necklace which I bought in the sale for £1.00 which is a total bargain. All the pieces I came home with I imagine I could wear on a day to day basis and spruce up any outfit.







I also went into Superdrug as I was in need of a new concealer. Unfortunately the one I always buy had been discontinued. I bought a very similar one which I will be reviewing.  

I got some more Johnsons dream wipes which I have reviewed here and used before. I noticed Johnsons have updated there packaging and they have branded the range of there wipes differently. Now theres more in the range and each product name has been altered. Despite this the product does look fairly similar but I haven’t tried them yet.



Primark

Mixed flower ring £3.00
Green vintage ring £1.00 (SALE)
Peace sign necklace £1.00 (SALE)
Pink beaded necklace £3.00
Stone heart necklace £2.00

Superdrug

Johnson’s dreamy night wipes £1.52
Maybelline cover stick concealer in 01 Ivory £4.09

Pacifica ‘Waikki Pikake’ perfume roll on (£12)

Hey Girlies, hope you’re all well :)

Today I wanted to tell you all about a perfume I’ve been using which I really love and recommend.

I came across the Pacifica brand while away in The Moors, North Yorkshire in a gorgeous health shop, stocking lots of really great health and beauty items.

This was the first time I’d come across their Pacifica range but later googled it and many items can be bought online and also Amazon. Just type in Pacifica perfume ;)

There were about six different fragrances to choose from and in addition there was a choice of roll on, solid perfume or normal perfume.

I was instantly drawn to ‘Waikki Pikake’ for its jasmine and sandalwood scent. It’s has a sensuous and velvety aroma and loved it so much!

Beforehand I’d never really used or had any experience with roll on perfumes however thought it would be lovely to give them a go as there perfect to pop into your handbag.

I was unsure of the staying power of roll on perfumes. After using it for a month or so I found it to be above average. I don’t mind this as it’s easy to top up.

I found at £12.00 it was quite reasonably priced. I also adore the pretty packaging. I was tempted to buy other scents in the range as they were all lovely.

I’ve included a lil photo from the health shop, a full review on the health shop will be coming soon with more pics!








What kind of fragrance do you use on the go? Would you be tempted to try this product out?
