Beauty Haul!

Aloha! 

I hope you are all well! I've saved up a few of the makeup and beauty bits I've purchased over the last 2 weeks or so to do a haul! Yay! Everybody loves a good old haul once in a while!

So, I'm going to jump straight in!

First of all I got the Superdrug Vitamin E night cream, I re purchased this because it's a nice, affordable, moisturising cream! Second was the simple kind to skin deep cleansing face mask, I love to use this after using my rio sonicleanse because it really calms my skin down and reduces redness. I also picked up the Palmer's natural bronze body lotion, I love this stuff and have used it for years! Its a gorgeous gradual tanner, and smells amazing!

 I picked up 2 sets of nails from Primark, I LOVE their nails! The glue isn't great but you can get better ones seperately.  I got rounded white tipped ones for a French manicured look and a lovely dusty pink set which also have rounded tips! Can't wait to give them a go!  Also from Primark I picked up a set of eyelashes from 'The Only Way Is Essex' line, they were reduced to £1.00 so thought I'd give them a whirl, they look really nice and natural. Next I got a Maybeline Super Stay 10h Tint Gloss in the shade 'Lasting Pink', why they give them such long names I will never know!  I've wanted to try this product for such a long time so thought I'd finally give in and treat myself! I was so glad I did because I LOVE it! I really really hope they come out with more shades because all the shades they have out now seem to be really red and dark! I would love to see some lighter pinks which will be perfect for the day time! 
Also from Superdrug I got the Rimmel Stay Stronger basecoat, it's a really lovely pinky colour with a tiny bit of shimmer in, but on your nails it comes out clear which is fine, as it is a base coat! Also on the nail varnish front I got the BarryM Nail Paint in the shade 'Mushroom' which I have also wanted to try for a while! I really love it! It looks so nice on, I think it may just have crept into my top 5!

 From Lush I got a Bubblegum lipscrub which I just buy to eat (Naughty!) And 2 bath ballistics, Twilight which smells amazing and Space Girl which smells like parma Violets and turns your bath lilac and sparkly! I also bought A 'Charity pot' Which is where they add £1 on to your purchase at the till and it goes to charity, in return you get a tiny little pot of body cream, its so cute! I don't care for it very much though so my mum can have it!

 I got some bits from The Body Shop, 3 body butters which I love! The cocoa butter, Stawberry and Pink grapefruit.  Pink Grapefruit is my favourite, but I love them all! Make you smell amazing and are super moisturising! Then I got the Wild Cherry body scrub which I haven't tried yet.  Lastly I got the Mango Lip Butter, which I absolutely adore! I tastes and smells so so nice! And it moisturises my lips so well! Want to try more flavours!

 I picked up 2 hairsprays from Superdrug, I got the Shine and Volumising ones, I just thought I'd give them a go as they were on offer.  I also picked up the Superdrug acetone free nail polish remover.  From Primark I got a pack of 80 cotton pads which I use to tone my face with after cleansing. 

Last but not least!!!
I got the Stila One Step Correct primer, I've wanted to try this for a good while, and how cute does it look!? All the colours swirled together like that! 
The idea is that each colour has a purpose and corrects the tones in your skin.  Green for example, is supposed to cancel out redness. To be honest, I don't agree with the claims Stila make about this product.  I can see the idea though, and it is an ok primer. However the price is pretty steep so at around £23 I won't be repurchasing. 

I hope you enjoyed my Haul! I've been super busy on instagram lately so please go and follow me, my name is alex_elissabeth! I would really appreciate it! 
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
Hugs, 

Collective Haul! Afflecks Palace, Topshop, Primark&More!

Hi guys!
I'm doing a haul! This is stuff I've bought over the last 2 months, definitely not all at once! 

So first of all this is my gorgeous dress from Afflecks Palace in Manchester!  It was from a shop called ThunderEgg which is just so beautiful!  I absolutely love everything about it, the collar is so cute and I just adore the gold buttons!

 I also got this random little pot form there, I'm not sure why, or what I'm going to put in it yet, but I just couldn't resist!

 This cardigan was only from Tesco, I know the colours look different, thats just the lighting, it was half price so I got in for around £7.00 and just thought it would be good for layering and I liked the buttons! 

This was from Primark, its Navy blue in real life and was around £10.00

Bebee was with me while I was taking the pictures and wanted to 'be in my blog' so please excuse the extremely inappropriate hand gesture! Just shows what delightful friends I have ahaha!

 This is just a top from Topshop, if I remember correctly it was £22, over priced would be an understatement but I just liked it!

These are just nice woolly socks from Primark, underneath are grey animal print ones and were around the £2.50 mark 

Awful picture but these leggings were from the matalan kids section, they are kind of paneled and really thick which is good for winter!  These were only £10.00 which is amazing since Topshop had identical ones for £28.00!  

This is a bed sheet from Primark, have no idea how much this was, maybe around £5.00, but it has cute little flowers on it and I just liked it! 

This was from a random little shop near me, I just thought I'd try it, my mum was paying so I thought why not!  Haven't tried it yet, but if it's amazing I shall let you all know! It was around £1/£2

  

This is a barry M nail polish in the colour '333 Black Multi glitter' and its just a really nice black with iridescent glitter in it, it looks really nice on the nails and is really opaque, you can easily get away with one coat!  

Bought these few cheap bits at the same time, just another Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer in number 2, which just so happens to be too dark for me now and I don't think they do a lighter one which is just fantastic.  Then an MUA eyebrow pencil in 'Blonde' which is the lightest shade, for £1.00 I was well impressed with this, and will almost deffinitely be re-purchasing! and then just another MUA eyeshadow in the shade 'Matte, 17' I always just wear this to college when I cant be bothered doing anything special!

Sorry again for the awful pictures, my life is just so rushed now I've started work, and I'm in college full time too!  I promise I'll try harder next time! Hope you're all well! 

Lots and lots of love Alex.X 

Haul: Fashion Union, Newlook, H&M and more!

Hi guys!
I went shopping again so I have another haul for you!
I'm going to get straight into it!

*****

So I finally caved and bought a pair of Toms! But I'm so glad I did, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! Seriously it feels like you're walking on a cloud! I got the navy blue ones because I love navy and it goes with almost anything! I got them from office and they cost £34.99 The amazing thing about Toms is they give 1 pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair they sell!

 *****

Now, these are the most amazing things in the world! They are my bright barbie pink, glittery Hunter wellies! I LOVE them!
I got the kids ones because they are only £35 and the adults ones are around £60! You may be thinking 'Why has she bought wellies in July? Is she crazy?' Well yes, yes I am crazy! However I do have a valid excuse! In 4 days I'm off to Wakestock which is 4 day music festival! Yay! If you're in England at the moment you will know the weather isn't the best, infact its rather awfull so as you can imagine: rain + big field + lots of people =mudbath.

Can you see the glitter! How amazing is that!?

*****

Now, I have wanted these for so long! I feel like every youtuber and blogger in England has them! I promise, I wasn't just being a sheep (Baa) I have been  trying to get my mitts on these for months and months but every time I went in topshop they were gone! and they never had them in stock online. Then the unforeseeable happened... They went off the topshop website! I knew I couldn't not have them, so I turned to ebay where I got them for £8.00! Yes! That's £20 less than I would have had to pay! So I'm a happy blogger and can't wait to wear my knew shoes out!

*****
I got these lovely shorts from H&M for £10.00 They were down from £19.99 so thats half price! I really needed more shorts for this summer because all my ones from last year are too big for me because I lost weight! They're really loose and soft and I love them! The belt they come with is studded all the way around but I'll probably take it off and swap it with another one.

*****

Now this picture does this dress no justice atall! It was from AX Paris and was £15 down from £30! This dress was supposed to be my after prom dress for the after prom party one of my friends was having, but unfortunately the party was cancelled so I didn't get to wear it! When I do get to wear it I'll put pictures up so you can see how pretty it really is!

*****
I got these baby's from New Look for £10.00! They were down from £14.99 so I just had to have them!  I love the colour and I think they are so summery!
Like I said I needed shorts anyway because I hardly have any that fit me!

*****

I got these from Matalan which isn't really somewhere I ever shop, but I had to go there with my mum last week and I was pleasantly surprised! They had some really really lovely things in there and I will definitely be making another trip there sometime soon! I got (more!) shorts! This time they are a little different, they are in a beautiful floral, pastel, daisy print! I love them! I haven't worn them yet because I'm really unsure of how to syle them so if you have any suggestions please leave me a comment below it will be much appreciated!

*****

Now I know this isn't very pretty or cute but Its just a basic for when I go to wakestock, its a maroon zip up jacket/hoodie. It was from H&M and was but £14.99. I usually style it with leggings and a top with the sleeves scrunched up and lots of pretty bracelets! 

*****
I got this top from fashionunion.com but It wasn't exactly what I was expecting! the whole of the front is made out of a really sheer net-like material so you would have to wear a vest top underneath it. However I still quite like the design at the front

  

*****

This top was also from fashionunion.com It looks massive on the picture for some reason but it looks like a normal top when its on! I love the design of this and love all the different colours! Its something abit different and not something I would normally go for but I like it!

*****

Now this top is just a really nice basic to have, it was from fashionunion.com and was about £3.00 I was really surprised at the quality of the material! It's really nice material and feels well made! It has 3/4 length sleeves and I really love it!

*****

And finally I got this gorgeous top from the Newlook kids section! This picture doesn't do it justice atall and it looks really nice on! It was only £11.50 so I just had to get it!

  

*****

Sorry I got bored while taking the pictures, atleast you get to see what one of the tops looks like on ahaha! (don't even ask why theres a plane in my living room, I don't even know... I actually dread to think what my nephew was doing with it ahaha)
*****

Well I hope you enjoyed having a nosey at what I've been splurging on over the last few days!
Hope you have a nice week
All my love, Alex.X
