Super Haul

Hello lovelies :-) and hello to all the nasties ready to leave comments ;)

I recently went to Birmingham for a University interview and thought I'd take advantage of the Bull Ring shopping centre while I was there. If you haven't been to the Bull Ring you seriously need to, it's incredible.
Anyway, I thought I'd show you what I've been buying there and what I've been buying recently!

First up...

I picked up a full size Soap & Glory Clean on Me shower cream because I could only get hold of the travel sized one before and I've been loving it recently.

It was 3 for 2 on Soap and Glory so I also grabbed the minature Daily Smooth Body Butter to try it out and a Hand Maid hand sanitising gel, I'm a big hand sanitiser person! And it smells just like the Hand Food and Clean on Me which= ♥

I also picked up some MAC Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle which I have wanted for sooo long but we can't get it anywhere in Exeter. It looks gorgeous as a highlighter on your cheek bones or brow bone.

Making the most of my MAC opportunity, I got a MAC kohl eye pencil in Smoulder. The line on the left is with one stroke and the other is with a few, so you can get quite an intense black colour. So far it's going quite well, not convinced it's worth the £14 though.

Not in Birmingham, but recently all the same ;), I had to get what I like to call a 'tide me over' foundation. Something I'm happy to use in between finding a new perfect foundation. So I got this in Boots and the testers were completely different to the actual shades, I also found it so difficult to match my own shade without having a professional there to help me!
Anyway, turns out I got 51, which is too light, so I mix it with my favourite MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC41 which is too dark and I'm quite enjoying that little combo at the moment.

This is the kind of finish it gives, nice and glowing with medium coverage!

I've also been looking for a new purse for a while, my old River Island one broke, like the clasp was really loose and all my cards and stuff were falling out. And seeing as I only have one purse at a time, and I only buy one every few years I thought it was worth looking for a good quality one. So I ended up with this one from LK Bennett which was in the sale down from £110 to £45! And the black one in the same style was still full price... random. But I love it, and the zip has LK Bennett engraved in it and I'm in love with little details like that!



So, back to Birmingham, this hasn't been very chronological. I went to Forever 21 and bought some pink leather shorts (yes, i know) and a kind of fine knit light pink crop top t shirt. Phew. So, here I am, standing in my bathroom because it has the best possible light, wearing these items...

Think that's all I have to say! Hope you like this, let me know what you think :-)
