Topshop Mini Haul

After getting paid this month I decided to take a ponder into Topshop where I very excitedly saw they had a sale.  I was lucky enough to even find something that I have been eyeing up for ages! I've been saving for a car for a while now so getting to spend my money on things like clothes is feeling a bit weird to do again....

Scrunchies have made a comeback, I remember going into Woolworths when I was little buying a blue and white gingham dress with a matching scrunchie and frilly socks. Here I am again 10 years later doing the same thing in Topshop. I wanted one that would stand out a little in my hair but that I could pair with a lot of outfits, this little scrunchie was down to £2.

The first thing was this plain tank top, it was down to £5 and will be a great essential for summer. The jewellery is some of my favourite bits, I think they make great but subtle statements especially when placed against a contrasting colour like black. The necklace was down to £5 and the earrings to £2.50.

This next piece caught me eye but in a way that made me uncertain if I could pull something off like this. Then I thought to myself, I like this shirt so I am going to get it and pull it off! I love the difference in spots to change things up a bit, I can't wait to dress this up and down! This was down to £18.

Now I left the best till last. I saw this a few months ago and immediately fell in love but at the price of £38 I couldn't justify it. Then I saw Velvetgh0st wearing it on her channel and wanted it even more.

It's quite a subtly yellow but it brings such a hint of summer to any outfit, plus the detailing on the shoulders is just gorgeous and feminine. It's such a good layer for the summer evenings when there is a cool breeze. The best part is it was down to £25. It's one of the best Topshop sales I have enjoyed yet and just to top it I get student discount on top!

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lip Balm Review

I was on the hunt for a new lip balm and this one caught my eye, not only have I heard great reviews for the moisturiser but I love the smell of cocoa butter. Plus Palmer's lip balm has SPF 15, which is great if your lips burn. The packaging isn't the normal shape but is more of an oval with a winder at the bottom, I think this is a reason why I like it because it's a little unusual. I have never been so happy with a lip balm from the first use, it keeps my lips hydrated long after I've applied it and sinks in super duper quick. I have been applying this once in the morning and once before bed, unless I am out and about a bit more. This does the trick though and I don't feel like I need to constantly re apply the product. I think I've finally found my dream lip balm!

Maybelline Colossal Volume Review

This is possibly my favourite mascara, besides Benefits 'They're real'. Let's be honest though paying £19.50 for They're Real isn't always the cheapest of options, so this is my next best. Maybelline Colossal volume express is amazing for just £7.19. It get right into your lashes with no clumping and no transfer or crumbling. It lasts me all day (which is normally from around 7am to 9pm) with no problems whatsoever. In a mascara I look to make my eyelashes more voluminous more that anything else and you will definitely find it in this. I have also used the waterproof one before which is amazing for any soggy scenario. The packaging is good, screw on so no leakages and bright so I can always find it straight away. 

Safe to say this is my high-street go to mascara... for now.
