Primark, Boots and B&M Haul

On the 9th I went to Intu Lakeside with my friend Naomi, for a splash of retail shopping. I didn't go with the aim in mind on what I wanted, I just wanted to browse.

When we arrived we headed to the mothership, Primark! Lakeside's Primark is massive spread out over 3 floors. We spent around 1 hour and a half in there, which for Naomi and I, is pretty bad for us. Whilst in there I only spent £16.50 which is minimal compared to what it could of been. 

I brought this lovely smelling candle which costs £3.50. This candle is a blackberry & which smells AMAZING! I like this candle because it comes within a tin so you can transport it or store it away without it becoming damaged. The tin has a very simple design on it and would suit my living room decor perfectly. 

Next up socks! I love socks! I have a weird thing about socks. I will just buy socks because you have a pretty pattern on it, however for me to be wearing matching socks at the same time is something that doesn't happen very often. Whilst in Primark I picked up a pair of cosy socks in red with a black and white design on them. I love the colour red, it is my favourite colour in the rainbow. These cost £2.

Another pair of socks that I picked up was these minion socks. I love minions about as much as I love socks, which is a lot. These just were calling my name whilst sitting there on the rail. They are a pack of 3 socks all with a different design on them. Bright colourful socks are one of my favourite styles. However I like wearing theses because I could be wearing a really smart outfit within knee high boots and no one will know that I have minions on my feet. 

I do love a good tartan/check pattern when it comes to clothes. I brought this scarf which is this beautiful check pattern and it is so so soft. I love the green within the check pattern. I'm not one for wearing anything with green in but I'm really liking this. I think it will look good paired up with a pair of black skinny jeans, boots and a leather jacket. This cost £5. When I saw this I could just see myself wearing this whilst on holiday or when it's snowing in the winter.

I had a wondered into the mens section and found this beautiful hanging on the wall. This Marvel top was just there calling my name. I've recently been watching a lot more marvel movies and cartoons, so this just suits me to the tee. This was actually reduced down from £8 to £3 so this was an absolute bargain. I brought it in a medium which fits be lovely. This I will be wearing on a relaxing sort of day or for when I go on holiday in November. 

Next shop that we pit stopped into which I brought things in were Boots. I'm suffering with a real bad problem of being pale than pale. My small tan that I had over the summer is well and truly gone until next year. I'm finding it so hard to find a foundation colour that actually suits me because of how pale I am. I picked up with Revlon 24hr Foundation in 100 Ivory. 

I have also picked up some more Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Collection as well. I brought there cleansing toner and a day shine. 

I also pick up this Batiste 50ml original dry shampoo. This didn't cost me anything because it was a deal that I found on my Boots phone app, which is if I spent more than £10 it was free. This is the prefect size for traveling so thats going to be packed for our holiday in November.

I have also brought an aftershave for Tristan 23rd birthday in November, however I won't say what it is because he might be reading this so I can't let him know what I've brought it or it will ruin the surprise.

We head to B&M which was a bad idea, because I said to Naomi if I pick up a trolley I would leave with the store so we both armed ourselves with a basket which were overfilling by the end of us walking around. If you aren't 100% sure what B&M is it's a bargain home store, which has furniture, furnishing and grocery products within it. 

I firstly picked up some hand wash and toothpaste which isn't anything amazing but only cost me £1.89 all together. That is very cheap in my opinion. 

I also brought some christmas decorations for work. At work we have a trolley that we use for our work whilst out on the shop floor so we don't have to keep walking too and from admin to get paper work. Anyway back to the decorations, Naomi and I were thinking about decoration the trolley up to help get everyone in a more festive mood. 

I've brought some Tea tree anti-bacterial hand wash. I love tea tree at the moment. This huge bottle of 500ml only cost me £1.

I also brought some gorgeous wrapping paper for christmas prezzies. I love the black and gold theme, I done this last year and I'm going to carry this into this year. So this comes with 4 different designed wrapping paper and 4 bows and 2 bundles of ribbon. It was reduced from £10 to £4.99 so I thought it was a good buy. 

I also brought some present whilst walking around the store. I've brought my mum a mug, which has a bell attached to it that you ring for more tea. It was meant to cost £5 but it only cost me £1.99. My mum is known for her tea addiction. She will always have a pot of tea brewing away. She has a little tea tray that she takes everywhere. 

I brought this Marvel hardback notepad. I do love the look of this and I know who will love it even more than me. My chummy Naomi. She is marvel fan! So this is just a start to everything that she will be getting for christmas.

 I've brought some men's novelty socks. I think as you can tell already I love socks. These socks are so cool and I've worn them a lot already and they are so soft and they don't annoy my feet. They have words on them with an arrow pointing up, so dependant on what I'm feeling will depend on what word I will wear.

I also brought some car air fresheners. I just loved all the bright colours and I love the ice cream air fresheners! 😁 For the 4 air fresheners, it cost me 99p. They smell very fruity and bubbly, Tristan isn't the biggest fan but for 99p they aren't bad air fresheners. 

I brought a tub of sweets to use as a bit of a stocking filler which I'm hoping I'm able to create a mini stocking filler for my younger nephew and niece's, Mason, Georgie and Andi. Knowing me, I will end up eating a lot of them if I open them especially if Tristan gets his hands on them! We love these sorts of sweets, they remind us of our childhood. I think this cost me £3. 

I hope you enjoyed everything I've brought! Yes, it was a bit hit and miss on what I brought. But thats what happens when I go shopping! See you again soon! 

September Beauty Haul

Hello guys, welcome to my corner of the internet I like to call Blogobvious. If you had guessed by the title already, this blog is about what I've brought this month, beauty wise. 

My other half thought it would be a good idea to let me free in town and guess where I ended up.. Yeah you guessed right, Boots. Right lets get into this..

Batiste Dry Shampoo Tropical & Cherry

Every girl knows that dry shampoo is there best friend on them days where there hair just can't be tamed. The 2 scents that I brought are so nice. They aren't over powering and do the job well. I just like them lots and lots! They retail for £2.99 each however boots do have an offer on at the moment which is 3 for 2 across selected haircare, skin and beauty supplements. All I have to add is that you have to make sure you shake the can very well or otherwise you will get white hair. 

Loreal Paris Studio Line #TXT Wave Creating Spray

This is something that just caught my eye whilst I was wondering through the hairstyling aisle in Boots. I'm always needing that little extra help when it comes to making my curls have texture when I curl my hair. I haven't used it as of yet so there will be a blog post about that in the near future. This product retails for £3.50. 


Loreal Paris Studio Lines Hot & Spray

This is something as well that grabbed my attention that I thought I would try. I usual go for VO5 hair protection products but I thought I would switch it up by going for this. This product is meant to help with keeping hair straight for up to 3 day with little touch up here and there. I found that the product doesn't really help me personally with my hair straight. It's a brilliant protection spray but doesn't do much on the keeping straight. I must add I have the most thickest frizziest/wavy natural hair. Anything can turn it from being sleek and straight to frizz and making me look like cousin it, out of Addams family. I personally think it would work better with someone who has fairly straight hair or on someones hair that is thin. This product retails at Boots for £3.79.

Boots - Tea Tree Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash

This product is brilliant, I have brought this one to replace the one I have just finished. I have problematic skin, face demons are the worst thing in the world. This has helped me so much with my skin. The tea tree and witch hazel helps to deeply cleanse and keep the skin refresh  and face demon free. The product smells fantastic and only have to use 2 pumps per use. When you pump the product it goes from being a liquid to a foam which is nice. I have used brands like Proactiv which are an arm and a leg compared to this product that retails at £3.59 and this product has nothing on them. The bottle has lasted me about 6 weeks with me washing my face twice a day with it. 

Montagne Jeunesse Blemish Mud

This brand of face mask is something that I don't normally buy. I will normally buy the Freeman's face masks from Tesco. However I thought I would switch it up and buy this one for once. I haven't used it as of yet but I will be writing a blog review for this soon. The reason why I brought this is because of the fact that its for problem skin. The aloe vera that is within the face mask should help with keeping the skin cleansed. This face mask retails at  £1 which is really cheap and I think I will be able to get at least 2 face masks out it.

Imperial Leather - Mouthwatering Fruit Salad

I have smelt this so many times whilst I've been shopping in supermarkets but for some reason I have never picked it up until I was in Boots. Probably because I knew I was running low on my Treaclemoon. This smells divine, its smells so much like the sweets. Seriously if you haven't smelt this product nor use it you need to get yourself to Boots to get it. This is so so so purse friend being £1. I will be purchasing more of these in the near future. 

Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer

This is something that is and will always be staple within my make up collection. Everyone who has used this has rated it highly. It's a brilliant quality and coverage and very purse friendly. The way I see it is if it is good enough for Zoella means its good for me. I got mine in 01 Fair because I'm so pale so the lightest shade is the only shade that will work for me. This product sells for £4.19.

Herbal Essences - Moroccan My Shine Shampoo & Conditioner

This is just a basic shampoo & conditioner that I will buy for my other half to use. I personally only use Herbal Essences when I've run out of my own shampoo & conditioner. This is a good shampoo & conditioner compared to there other ones because of the fact that it has Argan oil within it, which help nourishes the hair. This shampoo & conditioner is known for the Vitamin E and carotenes which is blended into it which helps enhance the shine, manageability and shine of the hair. Me being me, I forgot to take pictures of this because its in my shower. However this product retails at £3.50 each. 

I brought a DKNY perfume for my favourite chummy, Naomi for her 24th birthday. 


Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this blog. What are your recent beauty buys, let me know down below. Until next time.. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I'm always looking for new products for my skin for that I can use whilst taking my makeup off. My skin is really sensitive on my face at times, so using some products can cause my skin to become irritated and make me feel uncomfortable. When ever my skin is playing up I always think that everyone is looking at me even though they aren't. 

The product retails for £4.99 at Boots for a 400ml bottle! 

Anyway, I used this product and it does remove makeup very well. Even though I had to use loads of the product for it to get most of my makeup off. I love the fact that there isn't any perfume in the product so there's no irritants there. It's just like using water! So I call it the Holy Water! 

The only thing I didn't like about this product is that when I used it on my eyes to remove eye makeup, it smudged it, more than anything. I had to keep getting a clean cotton pad with the Micellar water on it and keep wiping my eyes loads. 

I personally use this product to begin with, then I use a Clean&Clear Deep Cleanising Lotion to make sure that all the makeup is off! I will often wash my face afterwards with a Clean&Clear face wash and exfoliating daily wash to make your my pores are definitely unblocked. 

If your looking for a make up removing product that is good for sensitive skin then this is the product for you! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this! Please leave a comment below about your experience with this product and what you love or dislike it about it. 

Until next time!
