Recent Purchases... (don't tell mam)

Hey guys I was wondering what blog posts would I do to ease myself back in with, and of course what better to start off with is, by showing ye some stuff I bought! These are things I bought over the last month or two. The following are companies I've purchased from;

  • Boohoo
  • Primark/Penneys
  • H&M
  • Apple
  • Garnier 
  • L'Oreal
  • Lush Cosmetcs



Clothing



Clothing is something i rarely feature on my blog, but I bought a few pretty cool items of clothing I wanted to share with ye.


It's floral, it's leopard print, it's FAB! I got this gem from Boohoo.com. When I saw it I immediately had to have it. Summer is here and bright patterns are well and truly in, especially floral. I love boohoo as they always have some sort of a discount promotion going on and they're quality of clothing is exceptional. After discount it came to about 10 euro! BARGAIN!


My inner geek had to have this. Again from boohoo, this comic print jumper will be bright for our cold summers here in Ireland. Its not too heavy which is perfect, and I bought it in a large to wear it baggy so i could pair it with some skinny jeans. After discount it came to about 15 euro... how bad!


Penneys/Primark must have got a new buyer or something because of late they are catching up with current trends. I love the gradient fade towards the end of this t-shirt it kind of reminds me of acid wash. It's a very light material so I don't know how long I will have this but for about 12 euro I had to have it.


I like to wear this t-shirt and wink at boys....only messing... kinda.. I got this t-shirt in H&M it also has that gradient fade effect. I just discovered how cheap H&M really are, they're perfect for basic jumpers and shirts too. I think this was around 10 euro.. I need to hold on to receipts.

Miscellaneous


One quick thing first off, for the people who complain about all the lush stuff I blog about, get over it! It's a fab company. This is a reusable canvass bag from Lush Cosmetics. It supports their ethos of non animal testing. This has rapidly turned into my man bag.. Everything is in their. It's spacious so it's perfect for grocery shopping too.

Cosmetics


These are just a few bits and pieces I bought cosmetic wise. I have changed my skincare routine as my skin has changed drastically over the exams period.


My skin is just a complete greasy mess because of exam stress and in turn I'm getting blocked pores and pesky spots. I'm using Lush Cosmetics' Let the good times roll facial cleanser. First of all it smells divine! Kind of like cake in my opinion. It has popcorn, cinnamon, maize and polenta. It's perfect for unblocking pores, absorbing up excess oils and brightening up your face.It retails at 7.95 per 100g. It's a lifesaver for me right now. Also just to note I'm still using the tea tree toner water, it's fab too.


It is a sad day in the parish... I had to stop using my "gorgeous" moisturiser from Lush. It was just too rich for my skin. At half the price Vanishing Cream is my current fav retailing at 24.95. I used to use this years ago but I always come back. It's Lush's lightest moisturiser perfect for oily spot-prone skin. It has witch hazel to treat breakouts. I cannot rave enough.


So I bought these on a whim, the  LOreal Skin Perfection Wipes. Face wipes should never replace your cleansing routine but they are so handy for when you are lazy or just want to freshen up. I was apprehensive of buying these as my face reacts badly to wipes but these are totally fine. There is no alcohol in them which is great. Definitely repurchasing them



I know I'm a little bit late to the party with this one, but MY GOD I love it. An aerosol that leaves no residue and smells unreal, whats the catch? Garnier's Ultimate Blends Dry Shampoo is my new fav! I love the vanilla scent and how fresh my hair feels. Buy it!!!!

Technology


I caved!!!! I bought an iPhone.. Its the 5c. Why didn't I switch to an iPhone ages ago??!!? It's my everything. I named it Greg. I love him.
