Pre Christmas Primark Haul

With a bit of time to spare in town I popped in to Primark.  At this time of year you are lucky to catch a quiet time in there, it can get pretty crazy!  I was in desperate need of some easy to wear autumn/winter jumpers so I decided to take the risk...

and it was well worth it, I picked up some fabulous bargains. I mean who can say no to a jumper for £5?

Next and Accessorize October Haul

Off I popped in to town looking to buy a couple of midi rings and came home with this lot, as you do.  I was really in the Christmas spirit for some reason so got a little excited at all the gorgeous candles in Next and at such great prices too.  I really recommend you pop down there and take a look, they smell yummy.

Strangely, Accessorize isn't somewhere I tend to go for 'accessories' but I am glad I ended up in there because they had so many lovely bits. I managed to hold myself back from buying quite a few other things too (pat on the back for me there).

So here is everything I bought (I have linked to all the items I can find online). I don't think I could choose a favourite item because I love all of my little Haul.

 Frankincense Candle Jar | Next | £8

Mini Picture Frames | Next | £6

Silver Leaf necklace | Accessorize | £9

Bug Earrings | Accessorize | £6

Double Ring | Accessorize | £4

What do you think of my little purchases? Have you got your festive candles out yet?

August Boots Beauty Haul!!

I was rather excited at the prospect of going to Boots for a good rummage after spending a long week working on my diy project. If you follow me on instagram (AshlyLondon) you may have seen the large dresser I am giving a makeover.

I think for once I managed to only buy things I needed and had been lusting after so I didn't go willy nilly and buy the whole shop. Well done me.

Vaseline Spray and Go body moisturiser aloe fresh (£4.99)

I have been trying to hunt down a spray on moisturiser for a while after seeing one in a video on youtube by an American blogger. So when I spotted the vaseline Spray & Go, I was sold. I have used it once so far and it smells really lovely.

got 2b 2 sexy big volume push up hairspray (£2.71)

I needed some new hairspray and spotted this on offer, it is usually £4.07. As I have been loving the salt spray by got2b, see it in my July Favourites here,  I though I'd see how their hairspray fairs. Plus the promise of big volume had me sold!

Dove Caring cream bath (£1.09) 

Is divine and I tend to stick to it for my bath bubbles as it smells lovely and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. And you can't have a bath without bubbles can you?

Maybelline Color 24h tatoo's 35 and 55 (£3.99 each)

These look so creamy and gorgeous.  I swatched them in boots and could have bought at least 2 others, but I managed to resist. I am so excited to try them!! There was a 3 for 2 offer on Maybelline so I picked up another 'The falsies' mascara (£7.99) too because I love love love it.

Charles Worthington dry shampoo (£1.99)

This was recommended to me by another blogger and I am really excited to try it. I hope it doesn't turn my hair white like the last dry shampoo I tried though!

Have you tried any of these products before? What did you think?

HAUL POST | Bargain Shopping Haul!!!

Hi-diddley-ho there!

So off I went to Poundworld, land or whatever it is called and thought I would see what make up they had. Well I was very surprised. First of all I found this amazing Sally Hansen neon pink nail varnish (Hard as Nails Extreme Wear 310) and I was DELIGHTED because I had been looking everywhere for a proper neon pink and couldn't find one. Then I happened across the Revlon bright pink (Sweet Tart 185) and was again, delighted! Revlon nail varnish for £1? Yes please.

I had to have a really good rummage through at the hanging makeup because they put it all in the small plastic bags, which you can see above in the second pic. So there I was taking them all of... I am sure the store assistants were delighted watching me. Ha ha oh well, I had to find the best items didn't I?

Next I found this beautiful Revlon colourstay polish (040 Provence) in what I would describe as a beautiful Jimmy Choo purple grey. If you have seen the Choo dustbags or shoe boxes you will knoww what I mean. I actually want my walls this colour, I digress....

I also spotted some Sleek lipsticks. Now I have never owned one but I hear good things so for £1 you can't go wrong. I found this beautiful pink with a hint of gold (Satin 813). Gorgeoso!

And last but not least what do I find? nail art pens.. yes and for £1. They had white and pink too but I felt I would only use the black. To be honest there is not much difference between this one and the Models Own one which costs £6. So this my friends is an absolute bargain.

Then off I popped to TK Maxx, which I love by the way. See my tips on shopping in bargain stores here. I crept up to the home department and tested out some arm chairs.. well you've got to see if they are comfy or not don't you! When I spotted these amazing vanity jars. Real glass, proper and amazing. Such fantastic quality. And totally perfect for my new dressing table (when I finally get it). So I HAD to get them. The jars with lids were  £7.99 each and without lids were £5.99 each. Honestly I am delighted. These are totally perfect to store my makeup brushes and hair clips or cotton balls in.  Yay for me.

And there you have it my beauties. Another day another bargalicious shopping trip.

What do you think? Have you bought any juicy bargains recently?

A Few Things I Spotted in Town and Didn't Buy!!!

I popped in to town the other day for a 'browse' and to take some things back. I did end up buying some new underwear, which I badly needed, but I resisted getting anything else. I found some really lovely things and wanted to show you a few of them. There was so much more I could have taken pictures off but I was too busy oohing and ahhing at everything and dreaming of it filling up my wardrobe!

I especially love these two bags from River Island. I mean they are like £40 bucks, what a steal!

What do you think lovelies? 

Have you spotted any gorgeous things that you managed to resist buying recently?

HAUL POST | I've Been to Benefit and Superdrug!

Benefit Erase Paste in Fair | £19.50

I have been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer for months then all of a sudden it either stopped working as well on me or I developed some huge under eye bags, yuk! So I found I needed something more brighteneing. I had heard such great things about the Benefit Erase Paste that I though I'd best try it. Off I went to the new beauty department in Debenhams, Aberdeen and tested it out. It really was fantastic and lasted all day so I went back a week later and picked it up. Review will be up shortly (spoiler alert: it is amazing)

Superdrug Pro Vitamin Full Volume Shampoo & Conditioner | £3

I have a thing about my hair being too silky and I run a mile from any hair product that makes it feel silky and lanky. Yuk. I saw these are 2 for £3 and thought I would give them a try. I have only used it once but seems to be volumising and not leaving my hair too coated but I will see how it fairs over time.

Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll on | £5.09

Following on from the topic of bad under eye bags. I saw this product recommended by Maskcara blog and really wanted to give it a go. It was on a half price sale in Superdrug so thought now was a good time. It was over £12 in Boots!

Wilkinson Sword Razers | £2.25

Welll nobody likes a fuzzy wuzzy in the summer. Enough said!

What do you think of my little haul?

HAUL POST | Primark & Real Techniques Whoop!

Another day, another little haul! If you saw my last haul post you will have seen that I am a little bit obsessed with Primark at the moment. They really have some great stuff. From stick on false nails to jewellery and really cute t-shirts.

This time I had to return a couple t-shirts that I bought in totally the wrong size. So I had £6.50 to spend. I tried on a load of tops and the one I liked best was this red tank top. Super comfy and at £4 a total bargain. So £2.50 left to spend. I really needed some cotton pads so picked these up for £1 and I loved this neon bracelet set. Perfect for summer and at £1.50 you can't really do wrong!!

Off to Superdrug I went to 'have a browse' or so I told myself. I knew that they were doing the buy 1 get 1 half price and really wanted the Real Techniques brushes but last time I went they didn't have any of the variations I wanted so I was delighted to see that they had restocked the shelves this time! 

The Real Techniques Stippling brush was 1st on my list at £10.99, I was then deciding between an eyeshadow brush and the face brush (which didn't have a buy 1 get 2nd half price sticker on it) however I took it to the till and asked them to double check. Low and behold it was included in the offer whoop! So I got that one too £8.99 reduced to £4.50. Delighted!!

So my beauties that is it for now...

Have you taken advantage of the Superdrug offer yet?
