London Haul


So my little trip to London for The Vintage Cosmetic Company Press Day resulted in me breaking my spending ban. What can I say? I did it, and i'd do it again and it was totally worth it!

I don't want to talk too much about what I bought because I will be doing individual posts on most of the items but I wanted to show you what I got as a collective haul so you could see what I broke my ban for!


Forever 21
I picked up three necklaces, a moustasche, silver bunting and two hearts joined together and a set of six pairs of earrings for just over £10. I've been browsing the jewellery section on their website for ages so I knew I wanted to pick up a few pieces. They didn't have the birdcage necklace I wanted but i'm sure i'll be making an online order soon!

Superdrug
I picked up several make-up items here as there was a 3 for 2 on across all make-up ranges. I got another Revlon Nearly Naked foundation but this time I picked it up in Vanilla, the next shade up from Ivory as I think this will suit me better. Also from Revlon I picked up a ColorStay lipstick in shade 095 Finale, it's quite a bright red shade, which i've been wanting to try for a while. Next in the offer I got an MUA Power Pout in the shade Crazy in Love, Sleek's Rose Gold blush, which is supposed to be a good dupe for NARS Orgasm (which I was planning on buying but suddenly felt guilty) and two Maybelline polka dot nail varnishes in Chalk Dust and Speckled Pink.

MAC
So happy that I managed to get the Baking Beauties Face Powder in Pink Buttercream. It was sold out online and in Beales in Bournemouth. I can't wait to try it although the design on it is so pretty I almost don't want to spoil it!

Topshop
I made this sneaky purchase before I met Jaye, i'm really loving coral shades at the moment so i'm looking forward to wearing the nail varnish. I was also going to buy the Topshop blush stick but after looking at the shades I thought they were a bit too bright for me, so settled on a cream blush in Morning Dew instead.

Zest
A shop I had never heard about until Jaye told me about it and somewhere you can buy Bioderma. I haven't tried it before and was planning on getting a large bottle of it but it was completely sold out. In the end, I had to ask the shop assistant to delve into the window display to get the last little bottle - success! Once i've used this one, i'll probably buy a larger bottle online.

River Island
I bought these cute bird earrings and it wasn't until I got them home that I realised they were really similar to the ones I got from Forever 21! I'm still going to wear both pairs though!

Boots
I got some new brush heads for my No7 Cleansing Brush as i've had it a few months now and haven't popped into Boots to get new ones. Luckily I had enough Boots points on my card to pay for these!

So thats my London haul, make sure you look out for individual posts I will be doing on these over the next few weeks!

What do you think to my haul? Have you got any of these items?

    1. Hi, thanks for the follow! The Topshop blush is Morning Dew and the Sleek blush is Rose Gold as I couldn't afford NARS Orgasm blush!

      I'm well thank you. Hope you are too!
