Autumn Haul!

This is one of those rare occurances were I managed to buy enough crap to write a haul. This probably won't happen much, so enjoy this while it lasts.
Okay, so in this haul, I have products from Superdrug, River Island, Primark New Look, and H&M.

All of the products I mention will be linked at the bottom of the post. And, can I just say, I am beyond happy that Primark finally has a website worth going on! I mean, it's taken them long enough but they finally have a website that lists more than 5 of their products. It's amazing, I actually went on there before to see if I could find a t-shirt to go with a skirt that I bought this morning.

Okay, so my first stop was River Island. Now normally this shop is too expensive for me but, I was after a new bag and river island bags are just a thing of sheer beauty! Okay, so I went in there with two bags in mind, both look the exact same except one is faux leather and the other was faux sued. I did want the faux sued one but they didn't have it (typical & just my luck). But I guess it doesn't matter because they are identical in appearance and cost the exact same - which is £25. I can't find the faux leather bag on the website anymore so I have linked the faux sued one at the bottom of this post.

I then went into Superdrug and got myself some new (and much needed) make-up. 

The first I did when I went into the store was pick up a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I have owned a beauty blender in the past and really not liked it but, this, it is amazing. My foundation goes on so beautifully when I use it and it gives such a flawless finish and it is definitely something I will repurchase. It cost £5.99.
One of the main things I wanted to get were lipsticks and I found myself completely drawn to the L'Oreal Colour Riche Collection Privée range, all of the colours in the range are gorgeous, but when I went into superdrug, they were on 3 for 2, so I picked up three gorgeous shades of red - Blake, Julianne and Liya. All three shades I have worn to death since I bought them. They are such beautiful colours with amazing pigmentation. There are however, downsides. One being that they are super drying, so make sure you apply lip balm before you apply the lipstick. The other downside is that the staying power is not the best. I found myself reapplying it so often that it was rather irritating. But, that was when I was wearing it all day. So, maybe it would be better for a night out or an event that is only going to last a couple of hours. Other than those two faults, they're gorgeous lipsticks that I will most likely re-purchase. Individually, each lipstick costs £6.99.
The main thing I have been in dire need for, for months is a new foundation. When I buy foundation, I always buy one I've never had before, so this time, I decided to pick up L'Oreal True Match Foundation in the shade Rose Vanilla. Which, since buying it and using a few times, I think is actually just a tad too dark for me but, it's a really nice foundation and goes on like silk. And, even better, I can barely tell I'm wearing foundation when I have it on, it leaves the skin feeling slightly sticky/tacky but, after a couple of minutes, it sets really nicely and leaves the skin feeling really smooth. It cost £9.99.
The next thing I picked up was a product I had heard so many great things about and pretty much every female youtuber I watch has raved about at some point in the last year or so. So, I picked one up and I can honestly say, it definitely deserves the hype that surrounds it. And, that product is the Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Eye Concealer. I bought it in the shade Light and it gives such a beautiful lift for under the eye and literally brightens up the face. And, considering it only costs £7.99, you get a pretty amazing product for the price.
The last two products I picked up were the Maybelline Lash Sensational and the Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Liner. The mascara is amazing. I have seen it compared to the Benefit Rollar Lash and now that I own them both, I'd definitely say it deserves that comparison. It makes my eyelashes look so long and full at a fraction of the price of the benefit one. It only costs £7.99. The eyeliner, is pretty darn good, which if I'm being completely honest, I wasn't expecting it to be. I also wasn't expecting it to be an actual liquid eyeliner, I thought it was just a pen liner, but nope, it's a proper liquid liner. Which did take some getting used to - it's been a while since I've had to wait for my liner to dry, considering I've used a gel liner for the past year. I can honestly though, I will most likely re-purchase this eye liner. It is definitely worth the price considering it costs £5.99.

After being after a new parka for a few months, finding the perfect one in Primark was just a dream. The coat cost £35 - which for a parka, is pretty darn amazing. And, I know Primark has this reputation of being a clothes shop that sells shit quality clothing. Which, might well be true for some of the clothes but this coat, it is beautiful. The (faux) fur is so soft and the coat itself is the perfect thickness - keeps me nice and cozy on cold days.

So from New Look, I picked up these absolutely gorgeous boots. I had been after a pair of boots like this for a couple of weeks and wanted a pair last year as well but never found any. But anyway, I saw a pair in Primark for £20, which I thought was pretty good but I wanted a pair that were going to be comfier and last a bit longer so I had a look around and found these from New Look which are completely identical to the ones that Primark are currently selling. You can also get them in tan and maroon and I will most likely go back and get a pair of the tan ones as they will look gorgeous with a pair of blue jeans and a nice jumper and scarf. But, right now I just wanted a pair that goes with everything and I've literally lived in them since I got them. I've found myself coming up with excuses just to leave the flat just so that I can wear them. I got these for £27.99. Unfortunately, I ordered my pair in store and they told me I got the last pair, so they aren't on the website any more, but, they do have a pair similar for a little bit more money so I will link that pair below.

The last item I picked a skirt that I saw in Lucy and Lydia's video this morning. (Which I will also link below) As soon as I saw this skirt, I knew I just had to have it. It's not really something I would normally go for but I don't know, I just felt so drawn to it. Lately I have wanted to dress more "girly", and I felt this would be the perfect thing to help me achieve that. However, now that I have it, I have no idea what to wear with it (So any advice on that would be much appreciated). The original price of the skirt is £29.99 which is definitely not a price I would normally pay for a skirt, but, it is currently on sale for £20. Which is pretty good. So, I went in store to pick it up, and they only had one left and it was my size. And, it had a £10 sale sticker on it. So, I managed to get that amazing skirt for £10.

Anyway, that is the end of this one. I hope you enjoyed it. All products mentioned will be listed below. Goodbye! xoxo
