Miscellaneous Haul

Over the last couple of weeks I have done some shopping here and there so I thought I would share my collection of new purchases.

First up the books. I have been in a reading rut recently and the best way I have found to cure this is by hitting up Amazon, which is exactly what I did. All three books are ones that I have either been recommended and/or have been wanting to read for ages. And the Mountains Echoed, is the most recent release by Khaled Hosseini, who is one of my favourite authors of all time, if you haven't read A Thousand Splendid Suns or The Kite Runner they seriously need to be added to your reading list. Gone Girl seems to be all anyone can talk about recently, and with the film coming out soon I thought I had better jump on the hype sooner rather than later. Finally, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, I have seen this in both Tanya Burr's monthly favourites and in +Elle Fowler videos, both of whom I take numerous book recommendations from. 

Secondly I made a pit stop into Superdrug when I was waiting for my mum in town, and naturally I did not leave empty handed! I picked up the new Rimmel mascara Wonder'full which is infused with argan oil, I had seen all the adverts on TV and thought it was an interesting concept so decided to give it a try. I then made my obligatory stop at the Revlon stand, as Revlon is definitely my favourite drugstore brand particularly when it comes to lip products, hence I left with a Colorstay Moisture Stain in the shade LA Exclusive. And what Superdrug haul would be complete without a couple of new nail varnishes, so of course Barry M supplied some new goodies. I thought I would try two of the different formulas, so I picked up the Gelly Shine in Rose Hip and the Matte Effect in Vanilla. 

I'm not sure how I feel about this next one, but at the end of the day it's just underwear! So yes these are my new bras. For me Marks and Spencer is THE place for bras as they have absolutely everything. Plus when I was there last week it was 50% off all underwear which is insanely amazing, so naturally I found myself coming away with some totally unnecessary purchases. Having worked in a lingerie department for several years I know what types of bras work best for what people, so I have my style and size imprinted in my mind so then its just what colour/pattern to choose from. I love yellow and white as a colour combination and at £11.50 for the pair it was a bargain that I could not refuse.

Lastly I recently reached the end of my phone contract so it was time to bid farewell to my trustee iPhone 4 and finally upgrade to the 5c. This meant I also required a new case and after trailing through eBay for far too long I came across a design that the 9 year old inside of me could not resist. It is a stain-glass window with tonnes of different Disney images and personally I think it's beautiful. 

This concludes this slightly random haul, but I love seeing what other people have been buying recently so I thought it might be interesting. 

Thank you so much for reading, until next time, B xx
