Boxing Day Haul.

Hey guys :)

Hope you all had an amazing christmas !! So I went shopping the 27th, I'd usually go on Boxing Day but I've been sick recently and its such a pain in the backside !! I went to my local shopping mall with one of my friends knowing they had a 50% off sale on certain Lush items and that's all I really wanted to buy.. but as usual I came back with about.. five bags.

The first shop I went into was Primark and after looking around only a few things really caught my eye. I ended up only buying one clothing item, which was a gorgeous sheer white shirt with a Black leather collar, it automatically reminded me of my favourite youtuber Zoe Sugg (Also known as Zoella on youtube) who loves wearing collars and I was sure I had seen this (or something similar) in one of her haul video's so I picked it up and after trying it on.. completely fell in love with it, I don't usually wear long sleeves as I get very hot easily but I bought this anyway. The full price was £12 which I was prepared to pay, until I got to the till and it scanned through for £5 !! I was so pleased I had definitely picked this item up. Now because it is sheer I usually wear a black camisole underneath it, just so it doesnt show anything.

I also purchased some gorgoeus little owls that were in the makeup section. They were £3 for three of them; in Pink, Purple & Turquoise. They're actually little lipglosses but because I prefer lipglosses to come in a tube I bought them so I could put them around my room for decoration. I actually have many 'owl' things in my room, (which i got for christmas) as they happen to be my favourite animal. I think they are so beautiful.







The next shop I went into was Lush as they were basically next door to each other. Unfortunately what I gone in there for had sold out very quickly, which to be honest I was not very suprised about as they were a favourite over Christmas. However I did purchase 4 things, only one not in the sale. The first was shoot for the stars which is a Bath Bomb, I have tried this before and absolutely fell in love with it as it has the scent of my favourite Lush soap which is Honey I washed the kids. Both products have a very Honey and Toffee based scent which I really enjoy as the majority of scents I like are quite sweet and candy scented. The second product I bought was also in the sale which was the sugar scrub shower scrub. I  picked this up because I needed a really good exfloiater and after trying it out on my hands a couple of weeks ago and a lot of research decided to try this as it was half price. I am still yet to test this out on the rest of my body but have high hopes for it. My third product was the Father Christmas bath bomb, I simply picked this up because I thought it looked interesting and I hadn't tried any of their Christmas range, so thought why not. The final item was the only one I paid full price for which is the Space Girl bath bomb. The friend that I was with could not stop raving about this product to me, and since it was purple and covered in glitter I decided to try it out, usually anything covered in glitter goes straight into my basket.



                                                                                                                                                                                          The next two shops I went to I bought a top in each. The first was New Look and I dont usually shop in there (apart from their earphones which are really good quality) but I picked up a Turquoise Green tank top and was debating whether or not to get it. What persuaded me to buy this was actually the price. It was £12 down to £3. So I figured if it didnt look good it wasn't the end of the world. However as soon as I got home I completely fell in love with it. The top itself was a good length and such a pretty colour, it was also insanely soft to the touch and I was pleased with how it looked on.

Next I went to USC which is where I usually shop for my Republic clothing. They had HUGE sales on and I liked so many of the things in there, but one particular thing managed to catch my eye. Which was a Navy Blue off the shoulder sweater with the words SOUL CAL across it in different prints, and the only one they actually had left was in my size. After trying it on there was a lot of debating with myself whether I should buy it or not and in the end I'm glad I did, as it is going to be extremely practical for the winter weather as it has long sleeves. I also was instantly drawn to the colour as I love wearing Navy.


Finally the last shop I went into was Clintons as I noticed they were doing 25% off of the Yankee Candles they sell there. After looking round I bought four of the sample sizes, 3 christmas & 1 that they do all year round. As I said earlier I like anything that has a Sweet scent to it. So really it was no suprise that I picked these ones up as they all have a unique candy smell to each of them. I really cannot wait to burn these.

So what did any of you buy in the sales this year? or are you waiting for them to calm down abit :) Let me know in the comments down below.

Go out and change the world.
