Korean Beauty Haul #1 | SkinFood, Cosrx, It's Skin & Etude House


It's been a while since I've done a haul post and I do apologise for not posting more or replying to comments. I promise I will get back to you all ASAP >.< I'm a massive skincare junkie and whilst I'm careful on what products to use for my skin, I also like to explore and use new things.

I've tried Korean skincare before and it certainly did wonders for my skin, so I decided to have more in stock. Apart from the dullness and dark circles that I have, my skin has become more dry due to the cold air in Britain, which is the reason why I bought more hydrating products this time round.

Haul #4

Vans: Size 6, Jeans: Size 10
Whenever I don't have the intention to go out and buy something, I always end up with at least one bag home and over the past couple of weeks it's been nothing but that. I tend to impulse buy a lot of the time hence the amount of clothes I have but never wear them, due to either I no longer like them and can't be arsed to return them, or I just forget. Unlike other people who treat themselves to something when they've worked hard over something or just finished bunch of exams, I tend to buy little bits of stuff overtime because I don't like spending a lot of money in one go. So for example, if i had £100 to spend, if i were to spend all of that in one shop I'd feel like my heart has just ripped out of my body, however if it was accumulated to £100 from shopping at multiple shops then I'd feel less heartbroken. I swear its not just me who feels like this though >.<

Anyway onto the hauls~

Clothing

  • Primark Super Skinny Jeans - Black
  • Primark Ultra Soft Super High Waist Skinny Jeans - Navy
  • Vans Old Skool Shoes - Black & White
I only ever purchase my jeans from Primark or Forever21, simply because I love the feeling of the fabric of Primark jeans and designs of Forever21. For some reason my black skinnies disappeared, so I had to repurchase these because 1) every girl needs a pair of black jeans, 2) this is more of a need than want because it's the only pair of black jeans that I feel the most comfortable in. These were sold at £11, which I admit you can get jeans from Forever21 for much cheaper at £7 - £8. However the "ultra soft" fabric of this win by milesssss. I've always wanted a pair of high waisted jeans but without loads of buttons like my last pair from New look. I wanted a black pair, but unfortunately there weren't any in my size therefore I opted for navy, which is just as good because its a dark colour so I wasn't too fussed. 

By now, I think you're able to tell that I love wearing black because even my shoes are black, but who can go wrong with black? These are sold for £57. I prefer the Old Skool line, just because it's not just a plain black shoe that's overpriced for having a stupid logo. The white stripe going across the shoe gives it a more skater vibe to it which is Vans' selling point. It also makes you look a lot more stylish and if your outfit is plain, it gives some life back into it :) Although I'm usually a size 5 for most shoes, I just had to get a size 6 because they didn't have my size once again, but that means I won't have to break into them to loosen up which is a plus. 

Hair
  • Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel Heat Protector
  • Superdrug Colour Performance - 8.1 Natural Medium Ash Blonde
  • John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Shampoo
  • John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Conditioner
  • Braun SE3170 Silk-Epil 3 Epilator 
Considering I dye my hair so often and straightening, I'm going to need something that's fairly good at protecting my hair from further damage. I already use Garnier's Sleek perfecter Oil and that does amazing wonders, but I also like to try out new products especially for hair so I went on a hunt for some heat protector. I used to use Tresemme before the Garnier one. My friend recommended me Schwarzkopf one because she's previously used it, so I took her word for it and purchased it for myself. I've repurchased the ash blonde hair dye because i really liked the outcome of my hair after using it. Since I am now blonde, I'll need shampoo/conditioner for blondies so I went for the John Frieda's. As always, women will need to remove their body hairs. I don't know about you but I dislike body hair so much and will have to get rid of them as soon as they grow back. I've waxed and shaved before just like all girls are experienced in, but I thought I should upgrade by buying myself an epilator. My friends have told me over and over again how good these things are so I gave in. 

Makeup
  • Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner - Black
  • Makeup Revolution Blush - Treat
  • Makeup Revolution Bronzer
  • Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter - Pink Truffle 
I've heard so many YouTubers rave about this gel liner so I went and bought one. It's also because i've wanted to try gel liners that I decided to buy it since I've tried every type of eyeliner invented, that I can't miss out gel types. This costs £18, pricey for an eyeliner but for the amount go hype it received I reckon that it's worth it. I was on a hunt for another blusher because I wanted another colour variation to which I came across this inexpensive yet highly pigmented blush (only for about £1.99). Honestly, when it comes to makeup, you don't need high end products in order to have a nice well done face. I've previously used a cheap liquid eyeliner for £2.50 and have received many compliments and people ask where I got it from. I personally think that if you're good with makeup, even cheap makeup can be made out to look quite high end. I even got the bronzer because it was so cheap. I'm a novice at using bronzer so I still need to practice until I get it right. Those of you who've read my previous posts, will know that I'm in love with Revlon's lip butters, simply because they're just so moisturising and come in a variety of colours suitable for anyone. I'm hoping to buy more and them to my collection.

Haul #3

Heyy guys, I've been trying to stick to 3 days one post but I'm kind of off schedule due to results day and trying to sort out stuff for uni. Had to go through clearing but I still got into uni so everything is good and I'm happy ^__^ For those of you who are like me and didn't get into your firm or insurance choice don't fret, there's a solution for everyone. Remember that your grades don't determine your intelligence and if you know the reason why you didn't do as well as you thought you could, do something to change it and improve next time :)
Now, onto the actual blogging. Ryman's are doing great offers at the moment with their notebooks and stuff and I thought I'd stock up on some for uni. I love these refill pads as the paper quality is absolutely amazeballs (officially in the Oxford dictionary ;D). I'm not sure about you, but I'm really weird and like to feel the paper before I buy it. These refill pads are great if you like to do rough notes or so that's what I use them for.

Haul #2



Hey peanut heads! Yup, it's another haul post just because I've been shopping quite a lot lately but hey, what girl doesn't like shopping? But yeahh, these are the things that I've bought and I'll provide links for you where possible from the actual store or if the item is no longer there or just simply not on the website, I can try to find any look a likes so everybody can be happy! ^__^

H&M - Top: Medium, Shorts: XS,  Dress: Size 10
  • Aztec Top - Unfortunately this is no longer available on the website and I failed to find any look a likes as well but I'm sure if you look carefully in certain stores you'd be able to find similar prints 
  • Sweatshirt shorts - Kind of gutted that these got reduced but meh. Great for workouts and you could literally just wear these as pyjamas and just fall asleep in them because they're that comfortable.
  • Cut-out dress - I love wearing floral in the summer because it just makes you look really girly. I want to feel girly at times since most of the time I can't be arsed to put in effort with how I look and so will look like I just came out of a cave or something. 
FOREVER21 - Vest top: Medium, Shorts: Size 27/UK Size 10
I've no idea why it looks green in these photos but they're definitely black
  • Vest top - Those who live in the UK would probably go to Primark when they need a staple basic top or cardigan but not anymore because you have FOREVER21.
  • Basic cuffed shorts - Great to pair with any top and for just £7, I think that's more than worth it. Another staple item to add to your wardrobe girls. These are also on the stretchy size so I should have got a smaller size but I was too lazy to go back and exchange. 
New Look - Size 8
  • Double Layer Chiffon Cami - Okay, so the picture online is pale pink but it's supposed to be neon pink according to the site. To me, it is a bright pink indeed but I wouldn't count it as neon and definitely isn't pale pink. Material wise, it's good to wear on a hot summer's day because it wouldn't stick to you and the colour itself is just great for summer :)
  • Strappy Back Ditsy Floral Cami - It's blue and that is my second favourite colour, plus the floral prints made it even better. This cami has got quite a low neck to it and I'm always self conscious about it because I'm not used to wearing stuff that have low necks, but if you are and have big boobies then go ahead and wear it. 
  • Lace Cami - I can't find this online either, sorry guys.
Primark - Tops: Size 8, Shorts: Size 10
  • Floral Chiffon Top - It's a shame that Primark don't have their own online website otherwise I believe everybody would be shopping on there. But if I remember correctly, the top was for £4? I do remember that it was for very cheap but then again almost everything in Primark is cheap >.<
  • Long Side Slit Top (?) - Not quite sure how to name it but it will have to suffice. So this is longggg like you could almost wear it as a dress with something underneath of course since its see through. It's sleeveless but the side's have really large slits like muscle tees and this was also for £4.
  • Denim Shorts - Just normal denim shorts for £5.
Schuh - Size 5
  • Nike Mid Suede Blazer - I normally wear size 5 shoes for trainers but these were still a bit loose on me, though it could be sorted out just from tightening the shoe laces. From where I bought them, only small sizes are left so if you're a tall person or just generally have big feet try looking at ASOS and OFFICE. These are actually so comfy to wear so I definitely recommend them to anyone if you're into trainers! I know I'll be buying more of these in the future in other colours. 
Urban Outfitters - Skirt: Medium
Can't find these on their website either but the skirt is a nice crochet pencil skirt, slightly see through but I'm not sure if that's my bum stretching it out or the skirt itself? Either way, wearing panties that match the skirt is a must, unless you're a hoe then urm yeah lol. The skirt was £30 and the beanie was for £12 I believe. 

Topshop - Medium
This is no longer available at Topshop but you can check out Vision Street Wear's official website to see if you can get it there. I've always wanted to own something from Vision Street Wear but had no clue where I could purchase something from and I didn't want to order it from the official site because the shipping costs a bomb. I wanted a looser fit so I opted for a medium. There was also a white T-shirt with the logo on which I was so tempted to get, however I remembered how much I had spent that day and thought the sensible thing to do is not to spend any more. 
Nivea Daily Essentials Hydration Primer Normal/Comb
Superdrug
  • Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer - I was actually on a hunt for a moisturising cream due to the humid weather we had for the past couple of weeks in England, which made my cheeks really dry. If it's relating moisture and skin and its pretty urgent, I usually go for either Nivea or No7 products because these products work miracles! My knowledge of a primer is that it creates a base or something before you put on your makeup so it stays for longer and glides on more smoothly - correct me in the comments if I'm wrong. This is a first time owning a face primer so I'll do a review soon since there's not many around on the interweb. I picked this because it works as a moisturiser plus a primer so I thought why not? This is also available for those who have dry & sensitive skin, this can also be bought at Boots and even in supermarkets where they have the health and beauty section. 
Superdrug Eyelash Curler
Superdrug
  • Superdrug Eyelash Curler - Just thought I'd get some eyelash curlers to get used to them. These are inexpensive and are great for first timers. 
That's it for today then. Let me know what your shopping experiences are like :)
