Bargain and Voucher Hauling - Primark, Poundland, Sleek and MUA Professional

Hi my loves - sorry this post is a lttle later than I planned but I felt so awful yesterday after my shopping trip that I really had trouble stringing a sentence together, pain is an awful thing :( Anyway I feel a bit better today, precisely no activity, lots of rest, and plenty of painkillers has brought me back to some semblance of reality. Anyways on with the show - on Thursday me and Mummy Lou popped to the Metro Centre it was just for a little look and really for me to use my birthday vouchers up - I don't know about you but I hate having vouchers floating around I need to spend them asap! So with a gift card in my possession we headed through the hallowed doors of Primark ;) I could have bought quite a few bits but I was good and focused on just using my voucher - first up I got this petrol blue dress

made of a chiffon type fabric, it features an attached vest on the top half and buttons which go as far as the waist, and it also features a tan plaited belt

I also popped a couple of rings into my basket - first up this turquoise effect stone in a large silver toned filigree setting

and this turquoise effect stone in a gold tone setting

I also picked some more of my favourite hair bobbles, this time in the brown / beige tone, they also do a bright pack too :)

That little lot came to just £20.50, just 50p more than my voucher - bargain :)

Next up Poundland and Pound World - I'm not snob you have to love a bit of pound shop hauling and I certainly did that first up two eyeshadows - the first is a Rimmel U Rock Cream Eyeshadow Trio in 700 Zest

and secondly a Me Me Me powder eyeshadow in Argent a gorgeous silver x

I also got this gorgeous purple satin flower hairband too I can't believe it was only £1!!

I also had a flick through the CD's and found a whole loads of the Now That's What I Call Music albums for just £1.00 each - it says they could potentially be reconditioned second albums but it's will worth a look, all of mine are from around 2002/3 cue lots of reminiscing lol

So that was my pound shop haul £6 for lots of goodies :) If you've managed to pick up a copy of this months Instyle magazine you'll know that there is a free £5.00 Body Shop gift card enclosed - well I spent mine on Thursday purchasing the detangling mist to go with the shampoo I reviewed from the Rainforest range -I've only managed to try it once but it smells gorgeous and so fruity

I only needed to pay £1 extra so another bargain :) Next up something that was technically free, well not really but it felt as though it was - a little while ago I placed a little New Look order and in the order I got a pair of earrings, but the minute I picked them up one fell to pieces so I complained via email and was told the best and cheapest way was to return them in store, so that's what I did - I love these so much I have a few pairs of similar ones but I love the daisy design

Next up something from Superdrug that my lovely Mummy bought me :) The Sleek Oh So Special Palette

I was under the impression that this wasn't going to be available in the UK but a few eagle eyed ladies have managed to spot it and I picked up the last one

It's a proper neutral palette with a mixture of mattes and shimmers - some swatches for you x

I am so happy to get this one I have fallen back in love with my Sleek palettes again they are soooo pigmented even if the price has gone up a little x

Finally a little parcel also from Superdrug and yes it's also on the budget theme - I got 2 eyeshadow palettes from the MUA Professional range, each featuring 12 eye shades. I got Heaven and Earth - the browns and neutrals

and Starry Night which features purples, lilacs, greys and silvers

I am going to feature these palettes in my upcoming MUA post in my Budget Beauty Series, so keep checking back for a review and some swatches x
So that was my little lot - any questions please let me know xx
