Haul! Pennys, H&M, Boots

Hell Everyone! Today I have a haul for you to see. I apologize for the quality of the photos, I cannot find my Cannon charger for my big camera so I can't use that, but I took pictures with my smaller one so I hope that's ok!
Also, I know I look deathly pale in these pictures, my tan was in bits for the last couple of days so I de-tanned and I'm giving my skin a break for a while. But I'll be back on the fake tan in a a short while so I look alive again!



These first two tops are the both the same just different colours. The first is a light grey and the second is a green colour. They were €8 each from Pennys


This next top is a long top which is good for wearing with leggings. It is a green colour with midlength sleeves. It was €6 from Pennys


This camo jacket is also from Pennys and it was on sale from €31 to €9 (which I was so pleased with!)


And finall these boots which are black suede with a silver detail on the toes. They were €39 from H&M.



I have also made a video on this haul, which includes the rest of the products I bought from boots! Please watch and subscribe to my channel! :)

Haul: Pennys, Benefit, Miss Selfridge & more!


Hi Everyone! Today, I'm sharing with you a little haul because I went shopping (again!) and picked up a few items. Now for the past few days the weather has been rather lovely where I live in Ireland but as we speak I can see some gloomy clouds over head so I hope I don't jinx it but the sun has inspired me to buy one or two of these items. And yes, I am one of those people who, at the first spotting of a ray of sunshine, darts to the shops to load up on summer attire. Unfortunately, as Ireland has one of the most hormonal climates ever, these clothes may never see the outside of my wardrobe.
I did only buy a few things though so it's not that bad, hopefully I'll get a chance to wear them. I photographed the clothes hanging up on the door so maybe this will give you a better idea of what they actually look like.


The first thing I got is this little container set from Pennys for only €1.50. It comes with three bottles, three tubs and 6 labels. I thought they were a great idea and you can't really go wrong with €1.50! I think they'll not only be handy for when I'm travelling but I can use the little tubs to collect samples of products and try them out at home. I was actually told by a girl who works at MAC to go and buy these and she would give me a sample of their foundation as they weren't giving out MAC tubs to people anymore. This set also comes in clear plastic but I thought I'd live on the wild side and go for the pink.


So I was devastated to lose my old Tweezerman tweezers but I had to buy a new one and this time I went for a mini tweezers. They're slanted and are purple with white polka dots. It also comes with a little case to keep them in which I thought was handy. I really love Tweezerman tweezers as I find they're so precise and don't become blunt quickly. I picked these up for €24 in Boots and I'm looking forward to seeing how well they work.


The next item I bought is Benefit's Hoola Bronzer. I've never used this before (I know, shock, horror!) so I am super late jumping on the band wagon with this but I might just do a little First Impressions review on it. I bought it in Boots for €34. The sheer price of it is the sole reason why I haven't purchased it until now, but I decided to bite the bullet as I had saved up, and wanted it for a long time. I was surprised at how tiny the product is, but I'm really excited to try it out.


The first clothes item I bought is from Pennys and it was €17 (which I thought was pretty steep for them!). It's a denim-like material with white polka dots all over. The collar buttons up to the top and it has chunks missing out of the sides. I think it's a really cute dress and would be nice with some pumps or wedges. 


Nothing too exciting here, just a plain white top. I bought it to wear with leggings and I really like it. I rarely wear white but I thought 'what the hay!' and just got it. It's a nice length and it flows to its comfortable too. The sleeves are mid-length which is flattering and with a bit of snazzy jewellery it could turn out quite nice! It was only €8 and I nearly bought two! But I controlled myself..


Ha ha! I find this picture very funny for some reason, I think it's the way I hung them up or something, but it looks odd! Anyway you get the jist, they're just a plain black pair of leggings from Pennys for €4. I really, really like wearing leggings. I just find them so comfortable to wear and if you wear them right they don't look too bad as an actual outfit instead of just around the house. The Pennys ones are really soft but they can be a bit see-through in the bum area so you have to be careful. Usually I like to wear long tops with them anyway if I'm leaving the house, the top above would be perfect. 


The final item I bought was this little orange crop-top from Miss Selfridge. I actually saw this on a mannequin in the shop window and was sucked in because I thought it was so pretty. It has a high neck and racer-back sleeves which I don't wear too often but change can be good! The top half is also lace but there is material there to cover your bosom and your bra strap at the back! I think it's such a nice colour as well, I love orange and it would look nice with something high-waisted on the bottom. It was €24 and I cant wait to wear it this summer!


Do you have any of these items?

Haul: Topshop, Pennys, Vita Liberata and more!


Hello! So I have a little haul for you guys that I've accumulated over the past few weeks or so and I've been very pleased with some of the bargains I've picked up. I can be quite the sales impulse buyer so a lot of times I end up returning some of the things I pick up. I realize when I get home that I don't actually NEED and sometimes want what I purchased, which can be annoying when I have to go and return things again and again. 
I managed to buy some things I was actually looking for before I found them and some of them were even on sale!



I picked up these three necklaces from Pennys which were €5 each. I was super pleased to find them this cheap as other shops sell them for three times the price so it's a no brainer really! 
The one on the left is a cream colour and it separates into 5 different pieces and I think this is a good item that will go with different outfits as it's a neutral colour.
The one on the right is a pinky/coral colour which has triangles of different shapes along it. I saw this and immediately loved it as it will be great for spring/summer.
The top necklace is a gold chain and you will either love it or hate it. I obviously love it and think it will go nicely with some plain t-shirts. 
I definitely recommend checking out the jewellery section in Pennys at the moment because it's really good. And for €5 you can't really go wrong!


Sticking with the Pennys theme so far, I also picked up a lovely rose-gold watch with a floral face. Personally, I really like rose-gold even though I haven't a lot of jewellery in that colour. Unfortunately this watch doesn't actually work which I was pretty gutted about, but it was reduced from €6 to €1 so I bought it just to have for decorative purposes.
Next I picked up these gold hoop earrings for €1.50 which was a total bargain! Now, I wouldn't be a massive wearer of the old hoops as they usually look tacky on me, but I was so drawn to the smallest hoops in the pack that I had to pick them up being the price they were! The small hoops can look really interesting and when I get more ear piercings I'll definitely get use out of them. I'm not too sure what I'll do with the rest of the earrings but I'm sure someone will want them!


I came across the website FeelUnique which was great prices and free delivery so I purchased Essie's ''Aruba Blue'' nail polish which is a beautiful royal blue colour. I've been looking for that colour for ages to wear on my toes in the summer time. This colour is the exact one I was looking for so I bought it online where it was cheaper. I was really pleased with the packaging when it arrived because it was very secure in a little box, I would recommend shopping there so check it out!
Next I bought a nail polish off Asos, it's Models Own ''Beach Party''. It's a vibrant orange which is perfect for spring and summer and I first saw it on Zoella's Youtube and it looked so nice I had to buy it! It's a really eye catching colour and brightens up your outfit.
I have heard some good things about Essence's ''Get Big Lashes'' mascara and when I found out it was only €2.89 I bought it immediately because I was looking for a new mascara. If it's any good I'll do a review on it if you want to see it.



I have been on the hunt for some nice rings for a while and when I was in Topshop I spotted some really nice ones.   


The ring on the left is a midi ring which is gold with a diamond heart. It was €6 from Topshop and I want to go back and see if they have any more types as I love them! I have been looking for these types of rings for ages, so if you know of anywhere else that sells any nice ones do let me know.
The ring on the right is a vintage looking gold ring with a purple stone and I think it's really pretty. It was only €3 but its too big for my ring finger so I'll have to wear it on my middle or index finger.


Next are these two rings which are potential face scratchers so I'll have to be careful with them! But they are two gold spike rings with purple and white stones in the middle. They were €3.50 each, I really like them and I think they're interesting looking.



This next item is a clampless hair wand by BaByliss I bought in a car boot sale! I was ecstatic when I found this as I previously had one like it but it was lost/stolen (not sure which) and I was devastated when I couldn't find it. But I have a new one now and it was €12 (originally €35), used once or twice but has no scratches and works perfectly. This was my most exciting purchase of late. 


And last but not least, I picked up the Vita Liberata pHenomal 2-3 week tan in 'fair/clair'. I bought this on sale in Boots a few weeks ago so I'm not sure how much it was, sorry! I am so excited to try out this organic tan so if you would like to see a review please say so in the comments.




So that's my haul for you all, hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you've done any haul posts recently as I love to read them.
