Double Haul!

Hello!

Well done to all you beauts who managed a spending ban for the month of January! As you probably know, I am far too much of a shopaholic to manage that! I've been trying to buy less clothing and make-up though, not to much success mind you!

So you guys told me what posts you would like to see from me and included in these suggestions was more hauls! I am able to do these as I spend far too money on crap so here's my recent purchases:

I've separated the items into two different showing trips but all items are fairly recent and you should def be able to still pick everything up if you want something! Here's the first trip:


Right, items included here are:

Denim shirt with chiffon printed sleeve - Primark £12
Eylure Lash Glue - Superdrug £2.99
Pink shoes with patent black toe - Primark Sale £2
Babyliss Volume Waves Styler - Tesco £20

The jewellery items were all in the sale from Matalan:


I got the rose gold spike bracelet for £1.50
The spike, stud and ball set for £1.50 
And snog, marry, avoid set for £1!

I think this denim shirt will be really pretty with leggings or tucked into disco pants or something over the spring months, its pretty and the chiffon sleeves give it a cute twist from a normal denim shirt. 

The eyelash glue is my essential purchase, I buy this all the time and use it with every set of strip lashes I use whether they are eylure lashes or not as I think it is the best glue and is the only on that I find effective!

The pink shoes will also be cute with some jeans or something into spring and I can't resist anything pink so they had to be mine.

I plan to review the Babyliss volume waves styler soon as I love it, it gives nice subtle waves and is a good alternative to my curling wand that creates quite tight curls.

Lastly, the jewellery. Obviously I'm still obsessed with studs and spikes so I love all of these and the snog, marry, avoid bracelets are just a bit of cheeky fun and I think they're cute!

Annnd, onto my second shopping trip!

The fashion items here include:

JERK top - Primark £4
BAD top - Primark £4
Stud shorts - Primark Sale £5
Mint green mini skirt - H&M Sale £5
Floral peplum top - H&M £9.99
Leopard shoes - Primark Sale £2

So I went pretty sale mental as I'm on a spending limit rather than a ban to see how well I do! I bought the JERK and BAD tops from Primark as I already have two of the GEEK tops from Topshop which I love as they're so comfy and casual and these are so similar that I felt I had nothing to lose for £4 and they'll make good gym tops! I know a lot of people hate these, along with my topshop ones but, I'm not asking anyone else to wear them ;-).

I'm in love with the floral peplum from H&M, so much so that I really want to buy the trousers they have in the same pattern! It goes really well with the denim shorts or the mint skirt for spring/summer which were both a bargain so I'm one happy lady!

The primark shoes are general primark flats. I wear heels most days so these won't be worn that much, just on casual days with some skinny jeans or something, but you can never have enough pairs of shoes right!

Onto beauty, I bought the Rimmel Apocalips from boots for £5.99 each (i think) in Nova and Galaxy. I haven't tried these too much so I will do a review when I have given them a better test, but I love all the colours!

I also picked up the V05 dry backcomb spray and the texturising spray. I will probably do a review on these too but let's just say, I am less than impressed. If you have tried these please let me know your opinions, I'm interested to know if you got on well worth them or not.

Hope you like, what's your favourite item I've purchased?
What have you been buying recently?
