Small Haul! Zara, TKMaxx, Superdrug etc
This is a really teeny-weeny-tiny, small haul, as I went shopping on Saturday with the intention of buying more things so I could haul them all in a video. However there wasn't really a lot of things that appealed to me as such, but the things that did appeal to me; I will be showing and briefly reviewing in this blog post.
I won't be hauling these products in a video any time soon, as I don't think there's enough for a video, but you can expect to see them in upcoming lookbook or make-up tutorial! Instead of blabbing and boring you all, I think I should just get started.
So, the first place I went to was TKMaxx as it is such a wonderful place filled with hidden gems and wonders - from bits of high-end make-up to the most unique clothing pieces.
I only bought one item from there, but it's definitely my favourite of them all...
I've been looking for something like this for a long time, and I've been eye-ing it up online retailing for approximately ten times the price I paid.
It's just a beautiful little white cami with daisy lining. I bought it in a size medium so that I can wear it over a black bikini in the summer or perhaps even a Tiffany blue coloured one, either way I think it will look lovely with tanned skin and it'll be great for Summer as it is sheer and light-weight.
This little beauty only cost me £9.99 which is such a steal, and I think I might have to go back to TKMaxx for the black version of this too...
The next place I went to is Zara, I love Zara because it sells good-quality basic pieces at affordable prices. Their pieces are very minimalistic and pretty, but during this trip nothing really caught my eye - and if it did, it wasn't available in my size.
I did try on two pairs of jeans though, the first pair was a light wash denim, however as soon as I put them on, I realised that they were flared - and if you know me, you know I will not wear flared jeans. The next pair however, were lovely and fit beautifully, but they unfortunately had a faulty zip, and it just-so happen to be the very last pair in my size. So I had to make do without any jeans.. :( sad face, I shouldn't be complaining, considering I own a rather embarassing ammount of jeans - since they're practically all I wear.
The only thing I did buy from Zara is this really soft grey t-shirt.
Suprisingly, I didn't have a plain grey t-shirt, so I thought this was the right time to buy one.
I also bought this in a Medium, so that it could be more loose-fitting.. I happen to do this often with t-shirts and tops, because I don't particularly like being suffocated. It does have a sort-of high-low hemline, but it's just a staple piece of clothing that is needed in every girls' closet. I think the best way of wearing these is with a pair of skin-tight jeans and a flannel tied arround your waist. I can't remember the price of this, but I'm sure that it was very in-expensive.

I actually intended to go to Primark for socks, because I find that I lose them very quickly.
Luckilly, Primark offer a wide range of them for prices cheap as chips. So instead of paying the outrageous ammounts that I often pay for Topshop socks (which I end up losing, before I even get to wear them) I opted for Primarni to deck me out with some snazzy socks. (Not really, they're solid pink-toned colours, not Typical Nessa or anything). These were only £2.50 for 7 PAIRS OF SOCKS!
*I only wear bright coloured socks arround the house, or to the gym*
For the make-up bits, I decided to just get the things that I really, really wanted, considering I have so much of it, and I still need to find a cute way of storing it all...
I ended up buying two MUA Eyeshadow Palletes (if you know me, you know I'm a sucker for MUA), also a concealer, and a Revlon Lip butter.
The first pallette is the MUA - Heaven and Earth. It consists of brown, earthy tones, with a few hints of gold and champagne. These shadows are very shimmery and pigmented and they are quite neutral, so they can be worn on an every-day basis.
The next pallette I bought is the MUA - Matte. It also has very neutral every-day shades - but combined with the colours from the Heaven and Earth pallette, they have the potential of creating a gorgeous smokey-eye. My favourite shades are the dark brown and the pale pink.
If you would like me to review these pallettes in a seperate post or video, please let me know as I'd be more than happy to do that; including swatches.
Another thing I bought with the intention is the NYC concealer, I was basically in desperate need of a new concealer, since my favourite has been discontinued, so I opted for one of the cheapest solutions, resulting in my disappointment. I'm not a huge fan of this concealer, it doesn't do anything special for me, and it feels quite heavy on my skin and doesn't really give good coverage. I don't recommend this product at all, If I'm being honest. So I might just have to use it as an eye-shadow base.
If you have any recommendations for a good concealer, please let me know!

Last, but certainly not least; I bought a Revlon lip butter in the shade ''Sugar Frosting''.
I've tried these before and I absolutely love them.
I was in need of a sheer/light lip colour, as most of my lip products are brightly coloured. I really like how this lip butter feels on my lips, since it is so moisturizing.
It has quite sheer pigmentation, so it only gives my lips a slight tint, which I must say; I do like, and I think it will be great for Spring and Summer as it is quite long lasting!

I did also buy a pair of shoes and some underwear, but I'm NOT going to show you those..
That being said, I appologize for this being so short and for not uploading a video last week!
You can expect a video during the weekend, but yeah I guess that's it! Leave me suggestions for future posts and videos in the comments, or simply use my links to follow my social media and become my friend!

Music Playlist!
Music is one of my favourite things about life, in itself it is basically life.
It can be used as a way to escape reality and can teach to just focus on the positive aspects in your life.
Predominately, I think the type of Music someone is into tells you a lot about their person, not in a stereotypical way, but good songs tend to describe what kind of person someone is.

I think that sharing some of my favourite songs with you guys will not only give you insight about some really good music, but I think it will also help you to find out more about me!
These are just my Top 10 songs that I have accumulated over the past and that I love dearly.
Oh my sugar cookie, twinkled little specks of fairy dust.
I absolutely love this song, it's so nice and calming, and perfect for those times were you just want to reflect on life with your earphones in.
The Neighbourhood have a small variety of incredible songs, I would also recommend Flawless and Female Robbery, they're all such wonderful songs and they are definitely becoming one of my favourite bands.
The Neighbourhood have a small variety of incredible songs, I would also recommend Flawless and Female Robbery, they're all such wonderful songs and they are definitely becoming one of my favourite bands.
This is one of my favourite songs from the whole AM album along with: ''Do I Wanna Know?'' and ''R U Mine?'' The Arctic Monkeys are such a wonderful bunch, despite the ever-so-slightly arrogant acceptance speech at the Brits by the one and only Alex Turner! (It did make me laugh though), and there's no denying that the speech was very witty and intriguing. On that note, they never seem to disappoint with the music they produce.
This song is just one of my all time favourites, and it's definitely a song that will NEVER get old! Hands down, my favourite ''The Killers'' song.
I only recently discovered this band but I guess these boys are just over-all lovely, but this song is so catchy and upbeat! They definitely deserve more recognition! It really gets me in the mood for Spring and Summer!
Vampire Weekend are one of my favourite bands in the whole wide world! This song comes from the album ''Contra'' and it's so catchy and it sounds very beachy and cool. It seems that VW are just incapable of creating a bad song, it's just a shame that they're so unfortunately underrated.
Although Matty's voice can sometimes be very unclear - the vibe and the overall sound of the music ''The 1975'' create is undeniably fantastic. They're very alternative but simultaneously brilliant. I definitely recommend them!
You have probably heard this - since it is such a common advert-song, but it's also such a great song, it's very upbeat, and it automatically puts me in a good mood! The lyrics are very uplifting and fun, the song ''Believer'' is also very cool.
If you have seen the movie ''Angus thongs and perfect snogging'' then I'm sure you'll agree that this song is just addictive! Since 2008-forever! It's one of those songs that will just never get old. The Stiff Dylans should definitely start making music again too - ''Ever fallen in love'' is also a great song.
This song is very short, but it will always have a space inside my heart since it is so absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The Kooks will always remain one of my very favourite bands, they're soooooooooo calming and relaxing! There isn't a song that I don't enjoy by The Kooks.
10. Youth - Daughter
Last but not least, this song is so powerful and beautiful, it never fails to make me cry! Definitely one of my all-time-favourites.

YOUTUBE VIDEOS???
I'm so excited to be writing this post, and although I do not have many readers on this blog, I figured it would be great to expand my little blog into a real-life Channel in the Youtube World!
I'm willing to take suggestions for videos which I should make, I'm currently debating on what to make for my first video, but I figured that the best type of video would be a Q&A or some sort Tag since it will give you guys some background information about me... but please let me know what you would like to see!
The camera that I will be using will be the Canon 600D/Rebl T3i - which I received from my Dad as a gift.
The quality is looking quite good at the moment, but I'm still getting used to it, and I don't even care to admit that it did in fact take me 10 minutes alone to figure out how to take a basic picture... but I'm getting better as we speak.
My videos will be mainly about Fashion and Beauty, but I will also be doing Tags with my friends, DIY's, Lookbooks and perhaps even some Cooking/Baking videos!
