I think we will start with my biggest purchase of the trip which was a new coat. The coat as you can see below is a green, parker style coat with fur around the hood and inside the coat. Of course the fur is fake but it looks nice and it keeps me extremely warm. The coat cost me £95 pounds. However with student discount it was only £85.50.
Another purchase of mine was this lovely dress, again from Topshop. It is a black dress, which is covered in bluey/greeny sequins. They shine all over the dress in the light giving an amazing effect that the photo below is not doing it much justice. It is quite tight but hugs all the right places. The dress cost me £69 I believe. Quite an expensive purchase but so worth it! Again student discount would have got me almost £7 off of that price.
The next thing I purchased is another dress but from H&M. It's a long black maxi dress that comes down into a V shape at the front. It swings nicely and looks very elegant on. This cost me around £29.99 which is a bargain I think!
Now I have always said to myself that even though I love makeup brands like MAC and Nars, I would never buy a foundation from them as I felt like I would be wasting my money on something that I can purchase at a drugstore that has the same or similar qualities. On one of the shopping trips to London I caved and went into MAC in Covent Garden and asked to be colour matched. I bought a Prep and Prime in radiant yellow which has this beautiful glow to it, a MAC foundation called Studio Sculpt in the colour NW20 and I also bought another blush in the shade style.
Going further into my London trips I also purchased 2 perfumes. The first is Rihanna Nude which i have actually been looking at buying for a while but I waited until I could get into a Beauty Base as it is a lot cheaper. The second perfume is Kate Moss. Now I am not to sure that it actually has a name but as you will see from the pictures below it is the one in pink packaging. Kate Moss's perfume cost me £8.99 and Rihanna's Nude cost me £15.99.
Another purchase of mine was 2 comforter bubble bars from Lush. I have one use left hehe. However, the comforter bubble bar is my favourite product of all time from Lush. It smells beautiful, it makes a lot of bubbles and it also gives the water a lovely colour.
A trip to boots in my own town also burnt into my pocket. I have been loving lipstick at the moment. It does not matter what shade I am wearing and I actually have been getting compliments about some of my lip shades. Lately I have been loving Rimmel lipsticks. I just recently bought 3 different ones by Kate Moss. No. 01, No.16 and No.110. I particularly love No.16. Not only is the colour good, but it smells good too. I also bought a lipstick from Maybelline in the colour 422, Coral Tonic. Along with these lipsticks I also picked up another Rimmel Stay matte Powder because mine was running out and a new foundation from Maybelline called Super Stay Better Skin.
As I only bought a couple of pieces of clothing from London I decided to make a purchase online at Newlook. The first thing I purchased was a tartan dress. As you see below, it had long sleeves, flares out and has a rounded neck. I have already worn it and I actually really like it. It looks really nice with black chelsea boots or brown chelsea boots. Mine have a heel for a little extra height but I also think it adds to the look. These brown boots were also a purchase from my Newlook order along with the brown shoes in the picture below which are also very nice.
While we are on the topic of shoes, also in this order I purchased another pair of boots. They are black and also flat. My boots from last year have seen better days and so these were more of a necessity for colder and wetter weather rather than a want for them. Also while browsing in Newlook about a week ago, I spotted a black pair of heels which me and my friend instantly fell in love with. Technically she spotted them first so we both ended up buying them but I was not about to leave them on the shelf! These are again in the picture below.
Back to the Newlook order another item i purchased was a black top with a white collar. It buttons all the way down the back which I think gives it a cute spin. It is a little cropped I think as it is a little short. What I like to do is wear it with a skater skirt and tuck it in. I also bought a second top in the same order which is black and white. The top is filled with white squares and there is a zip going up the back.
While walking through the town center about a week ago I had a quite nose in Topshop at their jewelry as they had sales on. I came across 3 little midi rings and then an midi and normal ring set. The pictures below show all of these but I think they are all very cute. The little lady bird is my favorite and it only cost me £2.50.
The last products that I am going to mention in this haul is Tanya Burr's new lip gloss and nail polish collection. I was so exited for these to come out and so when they came out I bought 3 lip glosses ( Just Peachy, Aurora and Heart Skipped a Beat) and 3 nail polishes ( Penguin Chick, Mini Marshmallows and Peaches and Cream) and I love them.
Not all of the products/items I have mentioned are pictured in this post but i hope you found this post interesting anyway.
Thank you for reading this haul :D
