Second haul post of the week!

Onto my second haul post of the week. I just wanted to say not everything posted was bought this week, they are bits I've gathered over the last few weeks and have finally got round to posting. I'm not a total spendthrift!
First up this cute denim bow headband, i can just picture this on a hot summers day with white sundress and sandals.
Jeggings from work, these are really lovely and comfy
Orange flower headband and black flower alice band

Horse belt from Primark

I couldn't resist this little dude!

Onto some beauty bits. I wanted a new mascara so i thought I'd try the Gosh Irresistible Intensity. I also managed to find a fab lipgloss to replace Mimmy from Mac Hello Kitty range which i used up. Its the top ones and is a lovely sheer pink. I got the bottom gloss free! It has a light inside and a mirror on the side to help you apply!
I finally gave in and got some Cheryl lashes, i can't wait to use these as they look fab on other people!
I also grabbed these cheapie lashes from Poundland, I'll do a review when i use them
And last but not least, i repurchased Bobbi Browns Colour Corrector and Concealer. I loved both of these products when i used them before and nothing else quite matched up. I also would like to say how fantastic the service was at the counter in Leeds.
Has anyone else been spending?
This weekend for me is going to be very quiet, all i'm doing is getting one of my dogs hair cut and reading magazines. Hoope you lot have more exciting plans!

H&M Garden Collection


I've been so looking forward to this collection coming instore so when i went to H&M at the weekend i was really pleased to see some of it there. In usual H&M fashion bits were dotted around the store but i think it would have been nice if it was grouped together. The three things that caught my eye the most are pictured below.

White and black dresses both £7.99
This is the thing that caught my eye the most. Love it!!
These are the bits i wanted to see, but i couldn't find instore yet.

Away from the Garden Collection, i tried these two gorgeous dresses on and am slightly in love!

Major hauling-photo heavy!

So, we had mothers day this weekend and me and mum decided to do what we do best.......Shop! We went to meadowhall which was really really busy and both came home laden down with bags. I managed to buy a good chunk of my Spring/Summer wardrobe.
Here goes.......................
Black and white spotty dress- This is so cute, if you look carefully, you can see it has a bow on the neck
Cat print dress, i love the print on this, its so random and sweet.
Navy culottes, i thought this was a skirt until i got into the changing room. I love them!
H&M slippers, this are hot pink rather then red, reduced to £3!
Chiffony bow headband
Hot pink and stripey basic tees
Cream floral dress
Nude bag
Coral polka dot dress
Baby blue lace dress. I'm not 100% sure about this, i love the dress but i don't tend to suit pastels.
acey vest, this is really pretty, you can't tell here but it has a floral pattern in it.
Tee with lace shoulders
New undies
Finally, i ordered these from ASOS, they are so cute in the dinky bottles, and they are also my first OPI polishes.
I hope everyone has had a fab weekend and is enjoying the sunshine.

Review: Lush Sunny Side Bubble Bar

The product
Lush Sunny Side Bubble Bar. Priced at £3.30 per bar.

Whats the hype?
'Sparkly golden bar with citrus scents to bring you sunshine. If you've had a bad night full of disappointing dreams and wake up feeling a bit glum, pop one of these in the bath. Even as you crumble it under the running water, you'll start to feel better. Maybe it's because citrus fruits only grow in warm, sunny places that their scents make us feel like smiling again. Sunny Side's orange, tangerine and lemon help to get us through the day, however badly it started. It'll turn your life Sunny Side up.' Taken from the Lush website.

Pros

  • Its super pretty, all gold and sparkly.
  • You only need to use about one third of the bar to get loads of bubbles, so it'll last a while.
  • A gorgeous orangey smell which lasts the whole bath and on your skin afterwards.
  • Super soft skin afterwards.
  • This leaves your skin with little bits of glitter on.

Cons

  • The glittery skin is not so good if you are going to work as i was, not a good look for the office!
  • It turns the bath water yellow which is a turn off for me(makes me think of wee!).
  • It also left glitter in my bath which was a little bit a pain to clean out.

Would i repurchase?
I would buy again purely for the smell. It would be nice to use before a night out as the glitter would much better when dressed up.
