Collective beauty & fashion haul - Primark, Savers and more

Hello readers, hope you're all well.
Throughout the month of July, I have been shopping a few times and picked up a few bits so I thought I would show you what I got in video form and in blog post form. The link to the video will be down below, and below that will be a break down of everything I got.




1. White dress - £5 from Primark

This dress was a steal at £5, it's super soft cotton like material with a nice crochet-type detail on the torso and I'm sure I'll get plenty of wear out of it in the next month of summer.

2. Friends shirt - £6 from Primark

I do love my graphic tees and friends so this was the perfect combination, it is such a soft material and it has rolled up sleeves because that's what the cool kids are doing these days. I'm probably going to wear this with skater skirts as skater skirts are among one of my favourite things in the world, if I don't wear it outside at least it's a super cosy top to wear indoors.

 3. Stripy black and white tee - £3.50 from Primark

This top is just a staple and I will definitely get wear out of this, I wanted to buy this last month (which I did a haul for and you can read that here) but they didn't have it in Primark when I went so I had to leave it for a while but now I have it and can flaunt my stripes with pride.

4. Nirvana vest top - £8 from Primark

Nirvana are one of my favourite bands and I really like this vest top, I usually feel a bit insecure wearing vest tops because I don't like my flabby arms being on display for the most part but I wore this just yesterday and thought it actually looked quite good and didn't make my arms look worse, if anything it made them look better. Plus the material is super soft. The only thing I worry about (because I buy far too many graphic tees) is that the design will come off, but I've had some of my graphic tees for over 2 years and the design hasn't come off on those so I reckon they'll last.

5. Nail polish twist pot - £1.00 from Primark

I haven't given this a whirl yet so I don't know how good this is at removing your nail polish, but the idea sounds ground-breaking. I first heard of a nail polish twist pot from this video and I was considering making my own but I thought I'd try out this one first seeming as it's only £1.

6. Barry M nail paint in Navy - £1 from market

I wasn't sure whether to mention this as it's not something that will be available to everyone, but where I live there is a market every Thursday which I usually don't go to because of school (despite the fact I have half days on a Thursday) but my Mum wanted to go so we went, and I thought that £1 is such a good price for Barry M. I like the normal Barry M nail paint formula, I've had problems with the gelly one I've tried but that is another post for another time.

7. Barry M lip gloss - £1 from market

Barry M must be quite cheap wholesale at the moment because there was lots of Barry M at the market. I picked up this because I've recently been loving lip glosses and I've used this a few times, and I can confirm that it is not as sticky as most lip glosses and it smells like these French Haribos I receieved in a Cyber Candy Mystery Box (which I did a haul for and you can see that here) so this was a good purchase. It's not too pigmented because it doesn't come out the colour of the gloss in the bottle but most lip glosses don't so that's not an issue.

8. Beauty Formulas rejuvenating glorious mud mask - £1 from Savers

I highly highly recommend this, for a £1 you get a really nice facial. It's not the best face mask in existence, but I would be willing to argue that it's the best face mask, that costs £1, in existence. I use this twice a week and keeps my skin feeling healthy.

I also got a toner which I spoke about more in this blog post so you can check that out if you want to read about that, it cost £1.50 from Savers.

Thanks for reading, stay classy readers and I'll see you again soon.

Hello there readers, as the end of a 'sunny' June in the UK a new month approaches. To match this 'summery' weather, I have compiled a wishlist of the types of things I'd like to buy over the next month or over the summer. 

The 'summery' UK weather should explain why there are jelly sandals, dresses and skirts but you'll notice they are also wintery colours so I could wear them all year round! You may notice the pastel pink dungarees as well which for some reason haven't gone down into the boxes below with prices, but this is from Primark and I'm unsure as to whether I'll definitely get this. I think it's adorable but I'm still not very confident with my legs although they are improving, plus I think denim ones may be more versatile :)

The tote bag I think is adorable with the moon phases, but essentially all I want is a tote bag that's under a £5 so hopefully I can find one like this! 

You can also see the Tanya Burr lip gloss and the Clarins lip balm crayon which are fairly basic, I really want the Clarins 'my pink' stick that's been on my blogger radar at the moment - I really want to see what my shade is!! I want to try Tanya Burr's lip gloss purely because I've loved her videos for ages and she knows a lot about make up so I'm hoping this good, I've heard very mixed reviews though so who knows? 

Next on the list you can see the Urban Decay dupe by Make up Revolution, I believe it's the Iconic 2 palette because there are very neutral colours so even for someone who doesn't wear much eye shadow I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of this plus it's only £4 in the UK! 

Lastly, you can see cute little fake cactuses from Ikea - I want a cactus so badly!! I think a fake one would be better though so I won't need to take care of it, I think Ikea is one of the best places in the world (sorry to get a bit '500 days of summer on you').

Thanks for reading!

Is there anything you're really hoping to buy over the next month or summer?
