Collective Haul



Hey guys!
So the past few weeks I've done quite a bit of shopping, as you can see. The funny thing is I still
have a list full of things I need to get and yes, I need it all! So yeah, here's what I got..




This colour is perfect for spring! As soon as I saw it I was like, 'yup, gotta have it!'. It is a bit daring, but
I'm slowly becoming more brave with my lipstick choices. I think it's a new shade they brought out for spring
along with a coral shade but I'm not sure so don't take my word on it. But it's gorgeous!

I'm falling in love with these Colorburst Balms from Revlon so much. I've got 2 already and I think
they're so pretty and the colours are perfect for spring/summer. This particular one is a matte and is a
pink/coral shade. Another perfect shade for spring. It's very opaque and not drying on the lips at all.

This one is a lacquer instead of a matte so has a nice shine to it. It's kind of berry pink shade,
(I'm awful at explaining colours, can you tell?) as I prefer pink and red colours on the lips for me.
Again, it's very opaque and very pretty. It isn't too daring and very easy to tone down to just give
your lips a nice pink tint.

Just the name of this one made me want to buy it. It's such a pretty name and a pretty colour to go
with it! It's more of a purple berry colour. It's opaque again, pretty much all of them are, but very easy to
tone down if you prefer.

So apparently this is quite popular. I mean, I managed to nab the last one in Boots! I wasn't too fussed
about this as first as I don't really wear primers but this one seemed to be so popular and forever out
of stock at Boots, I thought it must be amazing! I'm yet to find out but you'll soon find out if it's made
a big impact on me or not!

I only just recently heard of this an I was never one for brow mascara's, but throughout the
day I've noticed my eyebrows can tend fall down and end up pointing downwards, which is very annoying.
I just wanted something they made them stay put and after using this twice, I'm pretty happy with it so far.
Make's them looks thicker and fuller and keeps them in place all day.

As it was 3 for 2 on Maybelline, I thought I'd pick up one of these, as my last one has just ran out and
I really like them just for everyday use. This one just gives the slightest pink tint to your lips, which I
really love in lip balms. Not the best lip moisturiser but nice for popping on when you're out and about.

This was just a top up as my last one ran out. Love this concealer so much! So easy to blend and just
really lovely and creamy.

I've spoke about using the Cosmo blending sponge before on my blog and that I use it everyday and love it.
I still do, but I really wanted to try the Real Techniques one also as I love the brand so much and it's the same
price as the Cosmo so, why not, right? I've used it once so far and it's really lovely. It blends just as well as the
Cosmo one, if not better. So far, I like it!

Another one of my usual products I just needed to get another one. I really love this cleanser and don't have
a bad word to say about it. It's for all skin types and works really nicely with my Clarisonic.

Another one of my usual products I use. I just needed a new one. In one of my previous posts I told
you how much I love this moisturiser. It really is great if you have dry skin!

I really wanted a face oil which had hardly any ingredients, was organic, contained rosehip and was
inexpensive. That''s exactly what I got with this! I've only used it once so can't judge it on that alone but I
am excited to use it more and see if there's any difference. Especially as I have some scars on my face from
blemishes. It's got really great reviews so fingers crossed!

I needed some shampoo and conditioner and if you've read my blog, you'll know I love Aussie products!
It's definitely my favourite hair product of all time. I usually either go for the 'Luscious Long' range or
this one. Everything smells amazing and makes me hair feel so lovely and keeps it in the best condition!

I use to have a spoonful of cod liver oil everyday when I was younger as I had a problem with getting
cysts in my eyes quite badly. It tasted vile and made me feel so sick but I know it was good for me. I
really wanted to get back into it as I know it's so beneficial, but I wanted one that had a different taste.
I came across this one which tastes just like orange flavoured cough syrup!

I really love the look of loafers and moccasins. They just quite laid back and easy to put with casual outfits.
I found these in H&M for £14.99, which is a bargain! Really pretty and go with so many things. Only
thing is they aren't the most comfortable. I've had to wear plasters with them until I've worn them in properly.

When I saw this Kimono in H&M, I really wanted it and now after getting it I want more. They're
so pretty and laid back. They're really nice to layer over tank's and pair with some jeans for the spring/summer. 

TK Maxx Acrylic Lipstick Organiser (Similar here)
This was just something I wanted to store my lipsticks and just so happened to come across this one in
TK Maxx. They usually have a lot of acrylic stationary bits to store your make-up in, and they're very inexpensive.

TK Maxx Wish List Notepad (Found Here)
This was just a cute little notepad I found in there. It was only like £2.99 I think. I'm forever writing lists
or things I want so thought this would be perfect for that!

TK Maxx Shabby Chic Tray (Similar Here)
I saw this tray so long ago in TK Maxx and wanted it so badly, but it was around £15 and I just thought
I could get one somewhere else for less. Then, the other day I went in TK Maxx and I saw it was on
sale for £7 so I didn't even hesitate and just bought it! It's so gorgeous and I love the shabby chic look of it.

TK Maxx Swivel Pen Holder (Couldn't find anything similar)
I saw something similar to this in TK Maxx not long ago but it was a bit small, and my make-up brush
collection is only getting bigger! I love this because it's compartments are quite large and I love the fact it
swivel so it's easy access to my brushes. It a slight off grey colour which, I don't mind as I can always very
easily paint it white in the future.
