Huge Collective Haul (Haul 007)

So as you know I was on a bit of a blogger's block and didn't post for about 7 months (sorry again!) and I still seemed to find myself taking pictures of things I'd bought (so many lip products - I think I have an obsession). I thought I'd make one (long) post with some of the things I've purchased in the past half a year...

-----APRIL-----

 
My first MAC lipstick! I got it for £5 from my local hairdressers.
I think that's because it was from a discontinued range (but I don't care - £5 FOR A MAC LIPSTICK!)
 

-----MAY-----

 
I got this really cute camera from a carboot sale for £3 but it didn't come with any film
Also I'm not sure where you can get 120/126mm film?...

I also got this cute little plate from the carboot sale (doesn't look small but it really is) for 50p
I use it to put my rings on
 

-----JUNE-----

 
vitamin water ft. fake sunflowers (my favourite!) and a cactus.
 
I've wanted to try a bottle of Glaceau Vitamin Water which were actually really nice!
I also went back and brought 2 more as I really loved them! (2 for £2 in my local Sainsburys)
 

I'm going on holiday to Jersey next week and I wanted a hydrating lip balm for the plane/beach and thought that this Baby Lips one would be perfect! I really love the Baby Lips range and have mentioned them before previously (here and here)
 
I also got a Maybelline Super Stay 14 hour lipstick in Ultimate Blush which is so good and long lasting!
 
 

-----JULY-----

 
 

I mentioned this on my last post but this was the first Nakd bar I had.
 

I mentioned how much I loved Baby Lips so when I saw Barry M had their own line of tinted lip balms (Cor Balmy!) I couldn't wait to try one! I think this one is a lot more tinted than the red Baby Lips one I have but I would still like to try the other shades! It also has SPF 15 which is really important for summer. (shade - Rosie Lea)
 
 

-----AUGUST-----

 
Barry M Matte Top Coat £2.99

Accessorize earrings from the sale £2.50
Primark necklace £3 and bracelet 6 pack £2
 



 ONLINE ORDERS:
 
 
Superdrug:
Tanya Burr Chic Lipgloss (not sold in my local stores - a bit gloopy but a nice shade) £6.99
Rimmel Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Liner (came free with the mascara - online exclusive)
I don't wear eyeliner often as I'm terrible at applying it but I will 100% try out this one!

I got this to use on holiday but forgot there was no pool and not sure if it will work in the sea.
I did test it out in a sink full of water and it worked fine but I'm too scared to try it out in the ocean!

 
I hoped you enjoyed this post (not even a week after my last one!) even though there were a lot of pictures and click here to see my last haul (from November)...

Vintage Town

Today I visited a local town with my mum and sister Laura. Its really cute and covered with vintage shops. We went to get furniture for our new summer house (we did get a table!) and I ended up with a number of items...

We first went to the biggest vintage shop in the area (my favourite) an old mill converted into a 'unique shop with a mix of antiques, home furnishings, gifts and jewellery. Its such a big shop and I could resist taking a few pictures:
I loved this sign so much that I decided to take a picture with it.
I promise that is me! Just not prepared to show my bare face and unwashed hair!!

I thought these keys were so cute but decided against getting one when told they were £4!

I really love things like this - an old suitcase? would just look so cute in my room!

I also LOVE the lavender hearts that were scattered around downstairs but
I wasn't prepared to pay £10 for one when I could make my own!

After a lot of debating, this record 'dish' i guess was the only item I ended up taking home :)
£3.50

We also went into a little private shop where I brought my second Nakd bar. I previously tried the Berry Delight bar and wasn't sure whether or not I liked it (it tastes a bit like these things school bars that I used to have have at junior school!) so I got another different flavour (Cocoa Mint) for 90p but I'm still uncertain.

We then went into a little cafe for lunch and I really loved the table number cards!



After the cafe, we went into a little chocolate shop
(left to right) Chocolate Brownie Praline, Hazelnut Praline and Chocolate Orange Praline
(I LOVE PRALINE) £1.65 for all 3

Then finally I got this 'chocolates' tin for £4
I always end up with a tin every time I go here!

I was looking back at my old posts and I noticed that last year, I put up a picture of my sister's birthday cake and as her birthday was yesterday, I thought I'd post another picture:


In other news, I've been meaning to watch Orange is the New Black for ages now and I stared yesterday. I'm only on episode 5 (literally halfway through, decided to stop in the middle and write this post!) but I'm really enjoying it! I also just finished watching The 100 too which is SO GOOD! It's on in the UK at the moment on E4? but I watched the whole series online and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Sorry for the amount of pictures on this post but I hope you enjoyed it and I will hopefully post again soon :)
