January Sales Haul | Zara, H&M, New Look, Boots

After an unsuccessful late trip to the boxing day sales the other day, I thought i'd brave out into the cold and give it another go! Thankfully I was slightly luckier today. Here are the items I picked up:

Boots

Boots - Barry M Nail Polish - Textured Nail Effect in Majesty (Left) & Matte Nail Paint in Espresso (Right)  - £3.99 each but there was an offer 'Buy 1 get 1 half price'

I've been looking for the matte nail paint in Espresso for a while now as it's sold out in quite a few shops. Luckily I came across it in Boots and there was an offer on buy one get one half price. So I also picked up a pretty, glittery gold colour which I think would really compliment the matte.

H&M

H&M - Black Blouse - £14.99

I fell in love with this top when I saw it. I think it would look great on a night out with a statement necklace 

H&M - Black Cardigan - £7.99

I would be lost without my black cardigans! I think they're ideal to put in your bag and throw on when it gets a bit colder! The material is light and breathable and it goes with almost every outfit!

H&M - Black Leather Skirt - £14.99

Being quite a rock chick at heart, it's only natural I picked up this skirt. I love the figure hugging fit.

New Look

New Look - Cream Bow Cami - £12.99 £6

This was reduced from £12.99 to £6. I thought this top was so cute with the little bows! I got this especially for my holidays as it's a really light, floaty material

New Look - Black Polo Neck - £9.99 £6

This was reduced from £9.99 to £6. Even though it's simple I think polo necks are easy to dress up and a great wardrobe must-have!

New Look - Black Studded Belt - £3.99 £1.50

This was reduced from £3.99 to £1.50. I love anything studs and surprisingly I don't have a studded belt! So for £1.50 I couldn't really resist!

Zara

Zara - Baby Pink Sweater - £19.99

I absolutely loved this colour and as pastels are in this upcoming season it's right on trend!

 

Zara - Black & White Bag - £25.99 £19.99

I've been needing a new bag for ages and this caught my eye in Zara. It was reduced from £25.99 to £19.99

Can you tell I love black? ;) 

Mini December Haul | Primark, Lush, New Look, Superdrug

Today I went late sale shopping (probably not the best of ideas as everything was pretty much gone!), but I managed to pick up a few things, even though some of it wasn't reduced.

Primark 'extreme stiletto' heels - £10

I've been looking for a pair like this for a while now, and for £10 I couldn't really walk away from them! They're a perfect addition to any dress or keep it casual with a pair of jeans.

Primark 'Lace Up Desert B' Boots - £8 £4

I'm guilty of buying the Primark simple pumps (usually a couple of £) as they're normally a quick throw on shoe and I don't really mind if they get dirty! However, I saw these and thought they looked a bit more sturdy than the plimsoll pumps and a bit more fashionable! They were reduced from £8 to £4. 

Superdrug Max Factor Glossfinity in 50 Candy Rose - £5.99 (3 for 2)

I can't really go shopping and not come back with a new nail polish, especially as in Superdrug they always have the 3 for 2 offer on. Most nail polishes tend to go dull after a few days, so I thought i'd try out their new range. 

Lush Grease Lightning - £5.95

I've heard some good reviews about this product, so I picked one up to try myself! It's made of tea tree and witch hazel, the perfect spot fighting ingredients. The lady at the counter says it works miracles... so we shall soon see! 

Superdrug Carmex Lip Balm - £2

My bag would not be seen without one! They last for ages and feel amazing on your lips. When you first put it on your lips it gives a tingling sensation. Perfect for keeping your lips hydrated in these cold months.

Primark Lounge Bottoms - £6 £3

I love the cute reindeer print on these Christmas pajama bottoms! These were reduced from £6 to £3. They had quite a few left and there was also another print. I'm usually an 8-10, but I picked up an 10-12 as the only other size was 6-8. I'm not sure, but have Primark changed their sizing? 

New Look 'Black Croc Cosmetic Bag' - £12.99 £6

My make-up collection is growing all the time and my other make-up bag is no longer any use. This was reduced from £12.99. 

Sorry for the terrible picture/light quality! I have to make do with taking them on my iPhone at the moment as my camera is elsewhere!
