Hello everyone, I hope you are all well! 

Today I am doing another post as part of my 'what's in my bag' series and I decided to do my make-up bag and get it out of the way. By that I mean, as my make-up bag probably has the most products in it this made taking the photos a lot longer and laborious but I did and it's all for you nosey people ;)

Just like my last post from this series I will try not to waffle on about these products as you have all seen them before and I want to do individual full reviews on some of them so I will try to keep it short and sweet.

Nivea Express Hydration Primer (Dry Skin) - As many of you saw on my review of this you will know that this is my go to primer at the moment it creates a perfect base for my foundation and makes it last a really good amount of time throughout the day.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (Ivory) - Now this has been featured on my blog too many times to count, I love this foundation and as it has almost ran out I thought I would finish it off whilst i'm in London but using it on the days where I'm looking extra extra tired (which has been everyday this week!).

Rimmel True Match Foundation (True Ivory) - Featured just over a week ago in my London essentials haul, as my other foundation was running low I purchased this as so many bloggers are raving about it and I too can completely agree with everything they day about this foundation. Full review coming soon!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - I featured this in another one of my hauls and I picked this up as I was in need of a concealer that made me look more awake and reduced any bags under my eyes. From the foundation working it's wonders I thought the concealer would do the same and it does! Check out my full review here.

Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder - A product that has never been featured on my blog! Every girl has to own a pressed powder to set her foundation and me being a true lover of Rimmel I ,of course own one of their pressed powders and I cannot rave enough about this. I will do a full review when I repurchase this which should be soonish.

Hello everyone, sorry I didn't post yesterday I was so tired after my first day at Miss Selfridge I just had no energy, but I can report back that I am enjoying my placement so far. I've been collating images from all the fashion week shows and then creating boards today for the design team to use as inspiration for the A/W 2013 season, exciting stuff!

Anyway onto my post today and... it's another haul, yippeee!!

Fragrance Direct

My friend Jess introduced me to Fragrance Direct and their very low discounted prices on all sorts of brands so I decided to place a small order of some products I've wanted to try out for a while. 

Now can I just say, I didn't really buy much as I could have purchased plenty more! For those of you who have never been to the Oxford St store then just so you know it is huge and so overwhelming I couldn't take it all in and Miss Selfridge is attached to it and you can walk between the stores, this blew my mind. I was like a kid in a sweetshop! 

Anyway, the first thing I picked up was the Moto Black Jeans, now I have been needing a new pair of these as my previous pair had faded really badly and had shrunk from the washing so it was only right that I got another pair as they fit perfectly and last such a long time which reflects the £38 price tag which I can justify hence why I always go back to Topshop for all of my jeans! 

The next thing I picked up was the Oh My Love Black Fluffy Jumper, now on the bottom floor (I think) they have shoes and then a massive 'Brands at Topshop' area which was huge and they had all the brands that are available online and what looked like more but I can't be sure. Now Jess and I both picked up this jumper we were in awe, it's so so soft and it comes in black, white and bright pink, now me being me I chose the black because black goes with everything whereas Jess chose the white! When I tried this on it was so static, you could hear it every time you moved and it stuck to my body like a bodycon top would but this didn't put me off for some reason and the static seems to have subsided which is even better and I am so glad I bought this. I may wear this for my first day tomorrow.. maybe.

Now at this point I was like 'get me out of this shop before I buy anything else' so we headed to the tills, where they had plenty of products to entice a last minute buy and of course I noticed the  3-Notebook Pack but I am glad I picked these up as I was silly enough to not pack any stationary and 3 notebooks for £4 isn't really that bad, the world isn't going to end!

So that's my Topshop haul, for now. No doubt I will pick up a few other things seeing as I am going to be on Oxford Street everyday!

So this is my wash bag which I featured in a recent haul which I purchased from Boundary Mills for £12 which as I mentioned in my haul I really liked the teacups print/pattern on the outside as it was really cute and I also picked up this bag specifically to use when I came down to London. A lot of the products in my washbag I have already featured on my blog previously so I will try not to ramble too much about the products!

Body-care Products

 Razor: I cannot remember where I bought these from but they were just a basic 10 pack of razors for just over £1 which you cannot go wrong with so I threw a few of those in my wash bag (not that I'm going to need to shave my legs in this cold weather).

Radox Berry Burst Showegel: I featured this in a haul last week or the week before as I picked this up from Wilkinson's as I was in need of shower gel to bring with me and if you're looking for an affordable shower gel that smells of berries then this is the product for you! It's smells so nice and leaves my skin feeling so soft!

Soap&Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash: I have had this product for a while and was featured on my blog when I first started it up and as I have around half of the bottle left I thought why not pack it. I love this body wash as I love the Sugar Crush range, the smell is just amazing. If you haven't had a sniff of this stuff you need to, you're seriously missing out!

Soap&Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub: This has been featured several times on my blog and you all know how much I love this body scrub! I literally finished my first tub a day before I travelled down to London but I had already repurchased it ready to bring with me, I don't think I would have survived a whole month without it!

Hair-care Products

As you can see I didn't go mad but I bought enough things to add to my little collection of Topshop Makeup.

Starting with the lipsticks, so many bloggers rave about these lipsticks from the range of shades to the duration the lipsticks last on your lips throughout the day and of course this meant that I needed to try these out. The lipstick section was quite crammed but I was able to swatch a few shades on my hands before deciding on the shades I wanted. I picked up 'Beguiled' which is a deep plum red shade which I fell in love with as I can never find the right deep red and this was just perfect for me. The next shade I picked up was 'Innocent' which, the name says it all it is an innocent light pink shade which isn't too bright and is subtle enough for me to wear as bright pinks really do not suit my skin tone what so ever.

Onto the nail varnishes, I already own a couple of shades from the Topshop Nails range and I love them, they apply so easily with just a couple of coats and last a really decent amount of time. I decided I would pick up a couple of shades that I don't already own in different brands as I thought it would be pretty pointless buying shades I already had.. Anyway, the shades I picked up were 'Stolen Sapphires' which is a really deep purple tone and I instantly fell in love when I saw the shade as I have never been able to find a deep purple that didn't look black so I thought this was perfect and from the swatch it shows this. The next shade I picked up was 'Awol' which is kind of darker pastel blue (so hard to explain) and I thought it would be perfect to wear in all seasons, it's very hard to find a nail varnish that can be worn all throughout the year!

Phew, that was a lot of writing. I hope you all liked this post!

Do you own any products from the Topshop Makeup range?

If you are an avid reader of my blog you will know that I am heading to London for a month placement at Miss Selfridge, yeahhhhh!

So a lot of my posts over the next month will of course stay true to my usual blog posts, but will also feature a lot of London themed posts which I am really looking forward to writing and posting for you guys. So if you are reading this blog post I am now in London (yayyy), as for some reason this post didn't post before I left (good one blogger schedule thingy!).

Shoes, us girls can never have too many shoes can we!

I'm forever trolling through online websites, literally in awe at all the beautiful shoes that I know I can't have as my bank balance wouldn't be too happy but it's always nice to window shop or screen shop in my case.

I'm currently lusting over so many shoes at the moment, I love finding that pair of shoes that I know I can wear in so many ways with so many different outfits and paying that little bit more on better quality shoes really does ensure the durability and how long the shoes last.

Anyway onto the shoes, I'm currently really loving so many shoes from Topshop starting with these black suede platform heels, how beautiful are they?! I love Topshop heels, they are so sophisticated and last such a long time, totally worth the price tags sometimes! The next pair from Topshop are the black woven front loafers, I have seen these shoes featured on a fair amount of blogs and I love love love a good pair of loafers and these look like they would be so comfy and easy to throw on with any outfit! The last pair from Topshop are the white cutout peep toe flats, they did a very similar pair last spring/summer and I was gutted when I wasn't able to pick up any as my size sold out :( So I'm determined to get my hands on these, they will be so cute for the warmer summer days!

The next pair of shoes from Shoeaholics are the black floral platform wedges by KG Kurt Geiger and yes they are only £29!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these, they are beautiful and I want them so much!! The final pair of shoes are the mint brogues from ASOS, as I don't really own any bright coloured shoes I thought this was an odd choice for me but I honestly really like these especially the colour. I think they would be perfect to add a pop of colour to an outfit without throwing on a scarf or something.

So many shoes, so little time (and money).

What shoes are you currently lusting after?

 As I was strolling through Superdrug, I noticed that they had a special offer on all BarryM nail varnishes which were 2 for £5 on the normal nail varnish range and 2 for £6 on the nail effects range so I decided to pick up two shades from the Textured Nail Effect's range and I chose the shades 'Ridley Road' which is a pastel light green shade and 'Atlantic Road' which is an aqua blue pastel tone.

I love love love these nail varnishes, I was a huge fan of the pastel nails trend last summer and I love how so many brands are reinventing the pastel trend for this summer through various texture finishes especially these by BarryM. They are so affordable and leave your nails looking and feeling so cute and bang on trend for the warmer coming months!

Have you tried out the new BarryM range yet?

So first off I popped into Wilkinson's just to see what they had, I love mooching in shops that sell everything then went into New Look and then to Primark, this is what I bought:

Radox Berry Burst Showergel: I picked this up from Wilkinson as it was on offer from £1, which I do need as I'm going to be staying with a friend whilst i'm in London I need to take my own showergel and I really liked the scent of this shower gel, it is exactly what it says on the packaging 'berry burst' and I love Radox bathing products they are so affordable and come in some really nice scents.

Rimmel True Match Foundation: Again I picked this up from Wilkinson as it had £2 off it and I noticed the other day that my current 'Wake Me Up' Foundation is not going to last me a month whilst in London and as so many bloggers are raving about this foundation I thought why not!? I bought this in shade True Ivory as they didn't have any Ivory bottles left but thank fully this shade does actually blend really well with my skin and isn't too dark.

Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste: This one is really simple, I literally have zero toothpaste so I was in need of a new tube and this was only £1 so I put it in my basket. Simples.

Johnson's Face Care Face Wipes: Again another really simple one, I'm running low of face wipes and these again were on offer for £1 (I think) and I've never tried out the Johnson's range of face wipes but I thought 'why not, they're on offer'. Good old Wilkinson!

Primark Floral Makeup/Wash Bag: I came across this really cute washbag in Primark and as i'm going to be taking a large bulk of makeup to London I was in need of a decent size makeup bag and this one seemed perfect and it was only £3.

Now I did also buy two necklaces from Newlook, but the one has broken already :( and the other I seem to have misplaced so I couldn't take any pictures of them but I will feature them in some outfit looks soon, promise!
