Autumn Haul! MAC, Zara, H&M & Boots!



Hi Guys!!

After a pretty stressful week, I really needed myself some retail therapy! I may have gone a little over board... 


First things first, I FINALLY caved in and brought my first MAC lipstick. I wanted a nice autumnal shade that didn't make me look like a drag act, and the lovely MAC girl suggested "Party Line" as it wouldn't look to much on my skin and is a colour you can built on to make it as vivid as you like. It's also a Cremesheen formula so it applies like a dream and lasts for ages!

/\ I think its a lovely Autumnal shade for paler girls who struggle to pull off the real dark colours! /\


Now onto my Boots haul, Boots are currently doing a 3 for 2 on the majority of their cosmetics (take advantage ladies!). 

I took this as an opportunity to buy a couple of Bourjois Paris nail polishes (not that I need them!) in number 01 transparent gloss and 18, and a new mascara.
I had recently brought the Rimmel Scandaleyes flex but I feel that it does nothing for my lashes other than clump them up which is a shame as I loved their Lash accelerator Endless, due to this I thought it was about time that I tried a different brand of mascara and so I picked up Queen Attitude Mascara from Bourjois Paris also. My first impressions of the mascara are good so hopefully that holds up!! 


I'm honestly not sure why I picked this up. I have loads of Body Shop Body Butter but I couldn't help myself with the £2.50 price so I picked up Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter. It has their signature "pink" scent and is wonderfully creamy so I'm looking forward to using this! 


I'm not sure if I can really count these in my Haul as I didn't actually purchase them. I'm looking for a new Cleanser and Toner to replace my Decleor that is running out. I have heard numerous recommendations of the Clarins skincare and so I thought I would have a look at the counter in boots and see what I found. 
Thankfully there was a Clarins girl there to help me decide what would suit my skin and she gave me a couple of samples to test out to see if I like it! After all £18 per bottle is a pretty heavy investment for a student! I will be sure to write up a review once they have been used up and let you know how I get on with them! 


Now we go onto the splurge in H&M, Accessorize and Zara. I generally don't find anything in the H&M at home but the one in Canterbury is so much better organised and I actually found so much I loved! I picked up these socks from H&M, I always need new socks and these were particularly cute and £6.99 

This Elephant necklace was £10 from Accessorize, I'm obsessed with Elephants and this is just beautiful. 


Next we have an outfit post (hurrah!). Please be aware, I hate posing for photos as I look awkward in all of them, I tried my best for you guys though!

What I'm Wearing:
Jumper Dress: H&M £14.99
Scarf: H&M £6.99 
Basics Leggings: Zara £19.99 
Necklace: See above
Socks: See above


Basics Casual Dress: H&M £12.99 
Basic Leggings: See above

That's it for today's haul! I hope you guys enjoyed it! I definately have!
