May Clothing & Beauty Haul

  • 20 May 2013


Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I am officially an Auntie!! My sister in law went into labour on Friday and so I now have a little nephew.  We have never had a baby in the family and so it is very exciting for me, I have enjoyed lots of cuddles and feeding him.  Whilst at home I also went shopping and bought a few items which I wanted to share :)

So, Superdrug has 3 for 2 on all make-up and you can never turn down a free product!  I have heard great things about the Maybelline Eraser Eye concealer and was so happy to see it has finally hit UK shores! The Maxfactor Colour Adapt has been a favourite of mine for a while now, it gives amazing coverage and gives a nice glow.  Lastly, I got the Maybelline BB cream as I have wanted to try out a BB cream for a while now and this was my favourite after testing out a few on the back of my hand.   I will let you know my thoughts on all of these soon!


I also popped to Matalan as they always have some lovely pieces, and this trip did not disappoint.  As soon as I saw this clutch I fell in love! It looks like something you may find in Accessorize, but for half the price! I love the colours and cannot wait to get some use out of this.


I also popped into Debenhams, where they had 20% off at Miss Selfridge.  I absolutely love this skirt however I am not sure how I would wear it so it is currently in my unsure pile.  Saying that I am sure I will keep it as it really is such a pretty skirt for the summer time. 

 Purple skirt £10.00  //  Patterned Trousers £16.00  //  Hairband £3.00

Onto Primark I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and I am so glad I did!  Firstly, the skirt is another one in my unsure pile.  However, I think if I find the right kind of top to wear with it I may just like it!  Secondly, I bought these patterned trousers and they are so nice.  I think they will take a bit of getting used to, however I love the design and they fit perfectly.  They are also great quality, something I could imagine seeing in Zara. Lastly, I found this pretty hairband for just £3.00. I just couldn't pass it up!

Reebok EasyTone Top £10.00


Lastly, I popped into TKMaxx on the hunt for a new gym top and I found this beauty.  I completely ignored it at first as it was a medium and I am a small, however not having much choice I thought I would try it on.  It is double layered, and the top underneath is tiny whereas the top layer is long enough to cover my bum if I am feeling a bit self conscious in my leggings.  The EasyTone range is meant to help create resistance as you move and is designed to tone key muscles and improve posture - we shall see!

What shops have you been loving at the moment?

    The primark goodies look fab! What about a lose vest or tshirt tucked into the red skirt? With a long necklace for a hippy vibe! Wear with converse, sandals or boots and you are good to go! I love the maybeline bb cream, the only one that's light enough for me! xo

    You got some lovely things, I especially like the dip-hem skirt and printed trousers from Primark.
    I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on BB creams as having tried several and being disappointed I'm not really a fan, some people do seem to really like them though.
