H & M Haul

Hello blog world! As you may know, I have been away for a week in sunny boiling hot Turkey with my boyfriend! So to get back in to this, here's a little nosey into my latest H&M trip for you. My nearest H&M is actually really good most of the time although I still haven't found the bobbles with the rose gold plastic on it! Some of the prices might be wrong because I cut all the tags off as I took most of this to Turkey!

Left to right- £6.99 - £3.99 (I bought this to layer) - £

I think this mint lace vest top was £19.99 or £15.99 (sorry!)

The make up bag I bought because I am going on three holidays this year and its a great size and it's metallic purple! It was £4.99. The sunglasses case is to pop into any bag and its coral- yay! It was £1.99. The earrings were £3.99 and the bracelet was £4.99.

Black shorts £7.99 (which I also bought in blue but couldn't find them...


Hope you enjoyed that quick haul. What's your favourite item that I bought? Are you going to rush in and buy something?

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick 'Soft Coral'

As you may have realised, I'm a big lipstick junkie. I don't have the money to buy MAC and YSL all the time, but I am happy with drugstore lipsticks and as I was on the lookout for a coral colour, I was so pleased when I saw this by Rimmel. The colour is 'Soft Coral' and the number is 600. It is a moisture renew lipstick which I haven't tried before, so I thought I'd give it a go. It's £6.29 and no one can complain about it being expensive. It's really worth the pounds for the product you're paying for. It comes in a bright, glossy purple plastic tube which I'm sure you're all familiar with. It's light and is overall fun!




The colour is coral with a soft pink undertone, which I think is great as the name isn't lying. It has tiny silver reflects in it which gives it a bit of a shimmer too. It feels a bit gritty actually because of the tiny glitter particles but they go once on. Soft Coral has a slight watery texture which allows smooth application and it applies glossy.

Positives- Very easy to apply and is moisturising indeed, lasts long
Negatives- Colour fades easily- could maybe to with a base?
9/10

Overall, I love this lipstick and use it most days. I would definitely repurchase it as the colour works all day. What other coral lipsticks have you tired and liked?

A Summer Primark Haul

Yes, this is the rather large Primark haul I have been promising, I hope you enjoy and you find something you like and have the urge to buy! These are things I have purchased on a number of trips to Primark along with my Mum. I could write a book on my local Primark, it's much messier than you can imagine, worst one I've been in, but at the same time it's very good.

Anyway, here's most of my Primark beauties...
Left to right- Blue beach dress £5 - Striped maxi dress £10

These two summer dresses should brighten this horrible rainy day for you! On the left is a short beach dress with white rope-like straps. I bought this to wear to the beach and pool on holiday. The right is a grey maxi dress with stripes that has a low front and back that is also for the poolside and wandering around on holiday.

These two collar vest tops are my favourite purchases in this haul. The yellow one is sheer and I wore it in my last OOTD. It has gold buttons and a white collar. The pink/ nude one has a black collar, no buttons and gold plastic detail on the collar which I think is very gorgeous.
Left to right- £10  £6

The usual shorts from Primark as I was in desperate need of light blue denim shorts and this amazing bikini I found! It's almost like dip-dye and I absolutley love it! Might take the padding out as it's a little too much boob-age.
Left to right- Blue denim shorts £5 - Bikini top £5 -  Bikini bottoms £3

Two cropped vests which I was in great need of. The great 
Left to right- Dark grey vest top with  black sparkly heat £4  - Light grey vest top with sequined flamingo £5

Hehe, these always make me giggle! I bought these to wear on the Diamond Jubilee weekend and got so many compliments! But I would say for the same number of compliments I got, I saw someone else wearing them!
Union Jack Washed Leggings- £ 10

Some bits from the underwear/ PJ's section are the two bandeau that I've seen around. I couldn't find the sea blue one I wanted so I bought these, to go under big vest tops or over a bikini. The pajamas are for my holiday to Turkey with my boyfriend.
Left to right- Both bandeaus £3 (I think)  - Pajama top £3 - Pajama Bottoms £3

Haven't purchased much accessorie type bits from Primark as it is literally like a bomb has hit the floor, so as I stayed on the outside, I found these. Usual hair slides/ kirby grips some pastel coloured bobbles of all sizes and a pastel ring that was in a recent OOTD.
Left to right-Slides £1 - Bobbles £1 - Ring £2

Who doesn't love a good pair of sunglasses for £2? As I loose and break them easily, I'm sticking to cheap and cheerful ones.
£2


So that's my haul for you today! Hope you're having a good Monday, I have a very bad head from when 11 of my friends came round for some drinks and card games- it was worth it! I am going to Turkey with my boyfriend in 12 DAYS! And he comes home from Fiji in four days after being there for five weeks already! Hence all the hauls, I have to keep busy you see! Might do a What's in my..... for different holiday bits soon, as I've already packed! Overall I'm pleased with my purchases, speak soon.
