Autumn Clothing Haul | October 2014

A little while ago I posted about my trip to Brighton with my parents and while I was there I bought a few things so I'll just get straight into the haul...

So the first thing I bought was this top from Topshop, it cost about £16 if I remember correctly, it's just got three-quarter length sleeves and is grey and white. I really like this top although it's very simple but I've worn it twice since I bought it and I love it already, it looks so nice with just black leggings and is such amazing quality!

 
I then went to Primark and bought a couple of things, the first being this hat which is just this really nice black pork-pie hat, my mum has always told me that hats really suit me and I feel like I really need to own more considering before I bought this one I only had one. I just liked this hat a lot, it cost about £4-£4.50 if I remember correctly (I lost the receipt for everything and am having to just guess prices from what I remember them as.. Sorry if they're way out)

 
Also from Topshop I just bought a couple more chokers because mine broke and they had a deal on when I was there so I got 2. I love chokers so much, I just feel like they suit me and because I never really wear jewellery they're just something I can wear happily. (I'm pretty sure they cost about £2.50)

 
While in Primark I saw some tracksuit bottoms, they're literally just standard navy tracksuit bottoms and I just picked them up for lounging about in around home or just as pyjama bottoms and I can't remember how much these were at all...

 
Also in Primark I saw a load of these jumpers hanging up, they were just long sleeve jumpers with a collar sewn onto them so it looked like you were wearing a collared shirt underneath a jumper. You could get these in multiple colours, I just got it in black although I think there were pink ones and navy ones as well. The collar was just really pretty and lace like and I'm excited to wear this once it's cold enough.

 
The last clothing item I got in Primark were these thick, almost knit like leggings which are navy and have this festive gingerbread man pattern on them.. Honestly I can't justify why I bought these because I won't wear them until December but they're so comfortable and cute and I just love them to pieces...

 
I don't like carrying large bags around, I like shoulder bags but my black one recently broke so I decided to replace it with this one I saw in Primark, it's leather like material with gold metal work on it and it's just a really nice bag. Leave a comment down below if you'd like me to do a 'What's in my bag' post because I am contemplating it and I'd just love to know if you guys would like it...

 
I then went into Superdrug and picked up the 'Zoella Beauty Soak Opera' shower cream which I love, it smells amazing and I love it so much, it's really nice and I'm so proud of Zoe for her beauty range, I've been subscribed to her for the longest time, I also own the body mist which smells amazing as well!
 
 
The last thing I bought was this Tanya Burr Lipgloss in the shade 'Chic' and I just really wanted to get one of these because I've read and heard so many good things about them and I've wanted to try one for so long and I actually really love it, it's such a nice colour and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet!

Skincare Routine 2014 | ♡

So a couple of people have asked me to post my skincare routine, I wasn't sure if I would or not because I've never really set on one but I'll just post what I use in the evening at the moment...
 
So the first thing I do is remove my makeup, I use the Simple makeup remover as it takes off even waterproof makeup and I just find it works well and I then use the Garnier Micella Cleansing Water to take off all my face makeup. I really like this as it's just really gentle on the skin and unlike some makeup removers, it doesn't make me break out.
 
 
I then use Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion to cleanse my skin and I then use the Simple Soothing Facial Toner, I've only been using these for about 2 weeks but I can see an improvement in my skin already. When it comes to skincare I'm definitely a Simple kind of girl as I just find that it's the brand that works best for me.
 
 
If I'm feeling lazy I just use a Clearasil Cleansing Pad after I take my makeup off but I do use these every morning before I do my makeup and before I put my moisturiser on...

 
I then use the Neutrogena Grapefruit Moisturiser which I did at first think I was allergic to but I've come to the conclusion I'm probably not as I haven't died or anything like that.. I like this moisturiser, I've got combination skin so it's been difficult to find a moisturiser that doesn't make my face a greasy lump but this one is really good for me.
 
 
I feel like I mentioned this next item in my May favourites so I won't write much about it (you can go back and read that if you want to) but if I have any spots I just use this, the Origins Super Spot remover, it is just a really good at getting rid of spots and I highly recommend it to anyone..

 
The last thing I do is use the Body Shop Honey Lip Balm which is another thing I spoke about in my May favourites I think, these are just my favourite lip balms in the whole world, they're just the nicest things and they're so moisturising and I love them to pieces!
