Hello everyone!
Today I thought I would do a post on something that I haven't done on my blog yet - A Haul! Recently I have been buying a few things and I thought I would share it with you! Most of the items are bought from a trip to Westfield and the other bits are from when we went for a week away to Birmingham! So let's get started!
Fashion
I have bought some things from boohoo.com however I am going to wait till March to show you this because that is what I am wearing to my birthday party and am planning to do a full birthday look, with the makeup and outfit, for a post in the future!

All of the clothes that I bought were from Westfield and I was very impressed with Primark and especially Forever21!
This is an oversized cream coloured top. This is something that I really wanted too have, especially to wear on lazy days with a pair of jeans or leggings. It is such a soft material which makes it even more cosier to wear. Not only is it something to wear casually, but this is something that you could dress up with something like a statement necklace which I have been loving this year! This was from Primark at an amazing price of £6!
This is a deep orange-brown coloured jumper which I am loving right now. It is very autumnal but could be worn during any time of the year. It's a weird material - it feels quite rugged and beachy but I love it as I don't have anything like this in my wardrobe! This was from Forever21 and was £10!
Next, I bought this black and creme polka dot turtle neck top which is supposed to be a tight crop top, however I got this in a large size and it wasn't as tight and I really liked it like that! I am loving turtle neck everything right now as well as polka dots so I fell in love with itas soon as I saw it. It is such a nice material too and so this has to be my favourite purchase from the whole haul! It is from Forever21 and cost me £8.50 which I think is a bargain!
I also bought some plain black leggings which were such good quality and very soft, so I had to pick those up! You can never go wrong with another pair of leggings! These were also from Forever21. (I thought everyone would know what leggings looked like so I didn't bother inserting a picture!)
Beauty
So I went a bit mad with the makeup but these are all things that I have really wanted and only just been able to buy because I have been busy or the shop that it was from wasn't nearby. So I will start off with what I bought at Westfield;
Because there isn't a KIKO near to wear I live, and it is one of my favourite makeup brands, so I thought I would pick up a few pieces which I had really been wanted. The first thing was the Long Lasting Stick Eye shadow in the shade 05 which is a gorgeous deep golden brown colour with a lovely sheen. This is seriously pigmented and long lasting. When I swatched it in the store, it hadn't budged for a good couple of hours so I was really impressed. It looks gorgeous on the eyes too. I love this product and would really recommend it! This was £6.90.
Also from KIKO, I picked up one of their Smart Lip Pencils in the shade 702 which I hadn't heard anyone talk about before, but wanted to try them out as I was in need of a new lip pencil as they are one of my favourite lip products to use! These were £2.50 each so I was a bit worried about the quality, however I was pleasantly surprised with them - it has a very creamy long lasting formula. However because it is a very orangey coral colour, I don't think I will be wearing this much until the spring summer months as it is quite bright but a beautiful colour!
The last beauty item I bought from Westfield was the new Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara. I have seen a lot of people rave about this mascara and since I wanted another mascara for my collection, I was dying to give this one a go! So I picked this up from Boots and I have loved it. I have worn it every time I have worn makeup, as I don't wear it everyday, and I can see a huge difference in my eyes when wearing it. It volumises and slightly lengthens your lashes and makes your eyes looks so much bigger, especially when you wear a thin line of eyeliner across your lash line. Would highly recommend this especially as this £7.99 which I think is a great price for a mascara of this quality!
Moving on to things bought in Birmingham;
Because i couldn't get hold of it when I was at Westfield, I picked up the Soap and Glory Lid Stuff Palette in the colour 'What's Nude'. This eye shadow quad is beautiful. The colours are super pigmented and are the staple colours for any look and can be used for both day and night. This was £10 which is such a good price for such great quality products. This is definitely a keeper for the makeup bag!
Now onto the last beauty item but however by far my favourite piece. My mum very kindly bought me a M.A.C lipstick which was my first thing from M.A.C which I was so excited about as I had wanted it for a long time! The lipstick is a matte lipstick and is in the shade Pink Plaid. It is a gorgeous pink nude colour and I love wearing it as it smells of chocolate for some reason! It is so long lasting and I can't wait to hopefully start collecting some more products from M.A.C as they are heavily raved about!
I also bought some plain black leggings which were such good quality and very soft, so I had to pick those up! You can never go wrong with another pair of leggings! These were also from Forever21. (I thought everyone would know what leggings looked like so I didn't bother inserting a picture!)

Home
For my room, I wanted to get some tea light holders that weren't festive. I had recently bought some nice ones from the Next home section and so I went back to the store in Westfield and I came across these tea light holders which I loved. They are made from recycled glass which meant they were good for the environment and go really well with my room and so I picked up 2 of these at £3 each!
I hope you enjoyed this mini haul. I really enjoying writing about it so I may do a few of these in the future. I have a few wintery posts coming up as it is so cold in the UK right now which should be quite fun to read and maybe even recreate. Be sure to check out anything if you liked anything I wrote about it this post!
See you next time, Bye!
