Birthday Haul!

Hey, guys!

I thought that I would do a haul after my shopping spree a few weeks ago (I've had this post as a draft for a while). So, I'll show you the pictures of what I have bought and then I will tell you about them at the bottom.

High-Waisted Jeans, Topshop - £36

Firstly, I bought a jumpsuit from Republic. This was reduced from £22 to £17.80, I think. I can't find the receipt, oops. This is a very light jumpsuit which is great for summer because it's the type of material which doesn't make you feel like you're overheating. It has navy polka dots on and detailing around the top where there is a frill. There is an elasticated waist band so it shows off your waist. I like things like this because it makes the most of my waist and hips. I have another jumpsuit from Republic similar to this in Aztec print which I love so I bought another one. I bought this in a size 10. 
I bought the navy blue dolly pumps from Primark to wear with this outfit. These were £4 and I bought them in a size 6 even though I'm a 5.5 because Primark shoes always come up small on me. They have rubber soles and pretty little bows on the front. 

Then I bought the Essie Matte About You top coat from Superdrug for £8.99. If you would like me to do a full review on this product let me know. I've used it over the top of the Gelly Hi-Shine nail varnish in Satsuma and it looks amazing! I love matte things. (I know the point is that the colour is supposed to be Hi-Shine but I like that you don't need to apply multiple coats.)
The Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine nail varnishes are great! I paid £3.99 for both of them (buy one get one free woo). I bought the colour 'Plum' because it's the same colour as my prom dress so you'll see me wearing that with glitter on the ends of my nails and the Essie Matte About You top coat over the top at the end of June. I bought the Satsuma colour because I don't have an orange nail varnish which is surprising because I used to be obsessed with the colour orange. 

Next was the High-Wasted Jeans from Topshop. I paid £36 for these. I've wanted a pair of high-waisted jeans for so long but I can never find a pair that I like. I love these ones! I can rarely find a pair of jeans which are skinny the whole way down my legs and don't gather at the bottom from where they're too long, (short legs woo). They reach to just above my ankle and they're skinny the whole way down.  They're a light blue colour with a bit of white mixed in. I bought these in a size 12 with 30" leg. 

I bought a mint striped blouse from Primark for £8 and a baggy top with the Eiffel Tower on it, too, for £8. I bought the Paris top to wear with my high-waisted jeans in a size 10 whilst I bought the mint striped blouse in a size 12. I'm not really too sure what I'm going to wear the mint blouse with but I'm sure I'll find something. 

There was a 3 for 2 deal at Superdrug for MUA products. Therefore, I bought the bronzer, pressed powder and intense colour eyeliner in jet black. I didn't know that there was a 3 for 2 deal until I got to the till. I handed over my bronzer and eyeliner to buy and the cashier told me to pick up something else because it was 3 for 2. In my rush, I picked up pressed powder in the shade 04 (3 shades too dark) so I don't think I'll be wearing that anytime soon! The bronzer is very, very pigmented and, the first time I used it, it came out so strongly on my cheeks! I had to blend it back in with foundation and powder. I think it's great value for money as it's only £1. 
I love the eyeliner because it has the sharpener in the lid! It's so handy. I don't have much room in my everyday makeup bag to have an eyeliner and a sharpener. Besides, I'm always losing sharpeners. I haven't used this product yet but if you would like a full review, let me know. 

Next, I bought some hair accessories for prom from Accessorize even though I don't know how I'm having my hair for prom. I probably won't use both; I'll use one or the other. I'm not really too sure what you'd call the things with butterflies on, but I bought them. They were originally £6 but they scanned through the till at £1.80. I, also, bought the hair slides with pearls on for £4. 

Finally, I bought the 6th book in the Pretty Little Liars series called 'Killer' which I have just finished reading and it was amazing!

My latest tutorial was nails which you could wear for prom after I did my friends for her prom:

My next post will come on Thursday and will be about prom! It will be sort of like my latest post on OOTD but I will be posting it on my nail art blog! I might post it here as well but I'm not sure yet.
