Primark and Monki Haul #1

We went to Primark in Manchester at the weekend and myself and my sister bought quite a few things - the new stock in Primark is gorgeous, I could have bought a lot more clothes, bags and home wear but I restrained myself and only bought some tops, sweaters, pjs' and home wear bits... There are also a couple of items from Monki in this mini haul series. This is the first part, there will be a couple more just so the posts are not really long - excuse the weird poses, I am not too comfortable in front of the camera. 

1. Primark Light French Sweater (£8): I saw this in the Bury Primark a few weeks ago and I really wanted it but I finally bought it at the weekend and I LOVE it. I will buy any top if it has stripes on like this, I can't help myself and the stripes combined with a cute French design - I had to buy it. The knit is really light and super soft so I can still wear it during summer and into autumn - and layered during winter. Jeans from Dorothy Perkins - petite skinny and shoes from La Redoute.

2. Monki Sale Knit Top (£5, sale): I saw Estee from Essie Button wearing this in her first Copenhagen vlog and I loved it (I love most things from Monki) but when I saw that it was reduced from £35 to £5 in the sale I bought it immediately! I love the design, colour and over sized fit - I bought an XS and it is still pretty big so you need to read the measurements carefully with Monki clothing. Boots from La Redoute and prescription glasses from Firmoo.

3. Primark Breton Striped Top (£6): As I said before, I can't resist stripes and I really like this top. The material feels smooth and soft, love the stripes and this top also has some silver jewel embellishments on the shoulders which I like - although they will probably all come off after one wash. Jeans from Dorothy Perkins and wedges from Dorothy Perkins.

Hope you like this haul, happy shopping and stay tuned for the second and third parts of this mini series x

Face and outfit of the day: ft. *Firmoo Glasses

Here is my makeup for the day, featuring my Firmoo glasses that I received today (full review coming soon). This FOTD (face of the day) also features some of the new makeup products I received over the past two weeks. 

1. Maybelline Watershine Lip Gloss (shade Frozen Watermelon): My mum bought this for me a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. It is a gorgeous pinky peach shade which looks very pretty on the lips. It applies well, it makes the lips look glossy and fuller. Although the smell/taste is not nice at all, in my opinion. 

2. The Body Shop Moisture Foundation (shade 02): I bought this a few days ago and I have only tried it twice but I do like it so far. It matches me well, it applies well with my Cosmo sponge and it is quite dewy looking on the skin. Full review after I have tried it more.

3. Laura Geller Inkwell Waterproof Liner (Black): I received this in my March Birch Box a couple of days ago. I love the brush in the lid and this liner is just so quick and easy to apply which is why I am reaching for this product again. 

4. Collection 200 Lipstick (shade tea rose): I bought this from Morrisons about a week ago. It applies well and it is just a pretty, fresh everyday shade. It is easy to wear and works with everything!

5. Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream: This is a sample that I had in my Selfridges beauty advent calendar. I have been using it for about a week and I really like it - it doesn't irritate my skin, even though my eczema has flared up for the past two weeks. Moisturising but light and it smoothes the skin quickly and easily. 

6. Cosmopolitan Beauty Sponge: I have gone though about five or six of these foundation sponges and I just love them. As my eczema has been a pain for the past two weeks I have only been able to use this damp sponge to apply my foundation - love it. 

Here is the results of my makeup and here are my new glasses from Firmoo. I received my glasses yesterday and I LOVE them! They fit so well and they are prescription! Cannot recommend these glasses enough and the delivery was very quick - full review coming soon. 

And finally my outfit of the day (OOTD) featuring my Firmoo glasses and my new Topshop sale jeans. I bought the jeans from the online Topshop sale last week and they arrived a couple of days ago - very happy with them and they were only £25 which is cheap for Topshop jeans. My top is from newlook and my ballet pumps are from La Redoute - in the sale.
