Homeware Haul

Hey everyone!

I don't think I've ever done a homeware haul before, even though I'm forever buying things for my room!

I've only got a few things here that I've bought in the past month or so but I get so excited and wanted to

show you the bits I got. Plus I'm sure they will be more soon enough!

Pillow - Primark 

Similar Here/Here
I like my bedding to be quite simple so its all white. I wanted to add a very small bit of colour and needed
some extra pillows anyway and thought these would go perfectly. Plus, there were only £5 each!

Small Vase - TK Maxx

Similar Here
I got this small vase/candle holder so I could use it for all my smaller make up brushes.

Lamp - Wilko

Here
I got two of these for each side and I like very simple, light colours in my room. My bedding and furniture is all
white, my walls are an pearl/ivory colour. (The paint colour was called Ivory Tusk and I got it from Wilkinson's.)
I like the bits in my room to either be white/cream/gold colours.

Large Vase W/ Gold Rim

Similar Here
I got two of these from Wilkinsons. I can't find a link for them on their website and I literally grabbed the last two
so I don't know whether they do them anymore :( They looked so beautiful though and I'm doing up my make-up
storage and want it to look very simple and elegant. I got one either side of my mirror on my desk and will be
using them as brush holders for my bigger make-up brushes.

Photo Frame - Asda
Here (but mine is in 6x4)
I have a photo of me and one of my nephews from the day they were both born and really just wanted a frame.
I love this style, I have another one very similar and this only cost me £4! Bargain.

(There side table isn't part of this but it's from Ikea for anyone wondering.)

Collective Haul

Hey guys!

I've got a haul for you today as recently I've been shopping because I wanted to try out a few new products.

Plus there's some usual purchases in there I've picked up recently.

Enjoy!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Cherry

I needed to pick up a new dry shampoo so just got the usual one I buy as it was on offer. But, a few days

later when I was looking around Boots I saw that they now sell Aussie dry shampoo. Aussie is probably my

favourite hair care brand just because they do an amazing job for such a good price. You can't beat them in

my opinion! They had a few different types in their range but I recently coloured my hair brunette ,(I had a

little accident when trying to go lighter and it didn't really work) so I opted for the Aussie Miracle Dry

Shampoo Colour Mate. The point of this one I think is to use dry shampoo instead of washing your

hair so much, so that you keep your colour more vibrant for longer. I typically try and wash my hair

every 3 days anyway as it's not good to wash your hair too often. So far I really like this one! Smells

okay, not amazing but I can live with it. I have quite high hopes for this so we'll see how I get on!

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion

Next up, I got another one of my usual moisturisers as well. This is the only one I use on my body as

I have quite dry skin and some moisturisers can irritate it and this one never fails me!

Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser & Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

I wanted to try some new skincare bits so I picked up these two. I've only used them a few times and

so far I'm not really impressed. The Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser left my skin incredible dry, my lips

chapped and just didn't feel that nice on the skin. I have mostly dry skin anyway but I'm always prone

to spots. This just dried my face out completely and it took me a good 3-4 days to get it back to normal.

I haven't used it since so that's quite disappointing. My boyfriend however is spot prone and had oily

skin so I've passed them onto him to use and I feel they will suit his skin type better than mine. The

Charcoal Cleanser seems okay. It doesn't dry me out quite like the other one but I still don't see a

difference in my skin. I've also given this one to him. I think I need something much more gentle on my skin.

Herbal Essences Smooth Sensation Shampoo & Conditioner

I love the old Herbal Essences! Who doesn't? I've always heard bad things about them but it hasn't

really stopped me using them as I personally feel like they aren't bad for my hair. I'll usually only buy

these if Aussie aren't on offer or if these are really cheap. They're just nice to use as they remind me of

when I was little and they smell amazing. (I couldn't find the link to the shampoo :( but they'll have it in stores!)

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

Topped up on my favourite concealer! You know how much I love this, so I wont ramble

on about it! Bought 2 of them as I go through them so quickly and they're almost always sold out.

Probably because it's so good!

Garnier Caffeine Eye Roll On

I thought I'd try this as I saw it was on offer and I've heard good things about it in the past. So far,

I like it. It's nice to use and feels refreshing. I wouldn't say I've seen a massive difference. It just feels

nice and refreshing is all.

Simple Kind To Skin Facial Cleansing Wipes

Can never be without these babies! They're the best facial wipes of all time!

Honestly.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I wanted to pick up another one of these as my other one's getting a bit grubby. Since buying this

I've not applied my foundation any other way!

Nivea Pearl Beauty Gentle Care 48h Anti Perspirant Deodorant

I wanted to try out different types of deodorant and I came across this one as it was on offer. (can never

say no to a good offer!)  I liked it so much I even put it in my monthly favourite. So I went out a

bought a few just to make sure I was stocked up!

New York Cult Recipes Book

This book was bought quite a few week back but I really wanted to include it as I really love the recipes

in it. I do wish there was a few more recipes in there but overall it's just a really cool recipe book and

the recipes look amazing. By the way, none of these recipes are healthy, apart from one recipe for green

juice. So don't expect any healthy options in there lol.

TK Maxx Gold Decorative Plate (Similar Here)

I really wanted more decorative items for my room and my desk and when I saw this on offer in TK Maxx

for £5 I couldn't say no. I really love the gold on the white. It just looks really chic and pretty. I wanted to

originally put all my purfume bottles on there but now I'm thinking to put all my regular skincare bits on

there. I'm torn! We'll see how it ends up but for now, it's a pretty little decoration.

TK Maxx Purse

Another bargain in TK Maxx is this purse. £5! I've literally been looking for a new purse for almost a year!

My old one was from Primark and I just got so sick of having the same boring one. Any other one I wanted

was way too expensive, I always love looking at the bags and purses in TK Maxx. But I just love that place

in general. It's just a nude coloured purse with all the card space and things I need, because I have a lot

of cards. It's getting a bit ridiculous I even had to double/triple them up. The brand on the front says

'New Design' but I have no idea of that brand and nothing came up on Google that I could find so sorry!
