Shopping Haul




So this is my first "haul" I guess?! It was also my first time shopping on boxing day as usually I just chill out at home and wait for the January sales instead... but Matthew took me over to Nottingham to hunt for bargains :) A few shops (mac included, gutted :( haha) weren't open but quite a few were, and it was pretty busy... with massive queues! We got there for about lunch time, and went straight to Lush, which opened at 11 and the queue was allllll the way around the shop! We were going to wait, but decided to go back later... and it's a good job we did! The queue was gone, and they had re-stocked so we got lucky there! :) Anyway... here are some of the things I picked up :)



This is Vera Wang's new perfume, and the boxset was £33.50 but we got it for £22! So I was really happy with that :) Although, when we went into Boots, the perfume set section was full of people, so we just grabbed the box and went to a till to ask for the price instead of looking for it on the shelf. The lady said it was £33.50 but we weren't convinced as it said there was a sale... and that was the original price... so we took it to another till... who actually added the discount and we got around 1/3 off! So, moral of the story... don't always trust the cashiers haha... Nevertheless, I'm really pleased I got this! I had one of her other perfumes called Princess when I was younger which I loved... and this is so beautiful too!

 
Now for the star of the show... the naked 3 palette!! I'll quickly say before anyone panics thinking it was in the sale... it wasn't! But when I seen it, I just couldn't resist! I also think that it is reasonably priced as you do get 12 eye shadows which would cost £120 minimum from mac... so not too bad for £37 I'd say! I got it from House of Fraser :)
 
 
At first glance, my favourite colours are buzz, dust and mugshot!
 
 
 
I also really like the fact that it comes with a little brush!
 
 
Apologies that flash slightly ruins the photo... but it's the best way I could photograph the glittery ones! I thought the packaging was really pretty to look at, but for me it felt a little bit plastic-y which I was quite surprised at... not to worry though, still amazing looking!
 
 
Slightly irrelevant... but Millie's cookies are amazing! Especially the Jaffa ones!
 

Finally, here is all the stuff I picked up from Lush! It was supposed to come to around £47 but we got it all for £23... sooo pleased with that! 50% off! I got the snow fairy cone for my Mum, and one of the little yellow men, I forget their names? The rest is a present from me to me haha...

Overall I was really pleased with my first boxing day sales shop! Although, next year... I won't be rushing in early as it seemed to quieten down throughout the day and the stock was still in full swing :) If anyone else went shopping yesterday feel free to comment what you picked up? :D Otherwise, hope you enjoyed reading/looking :)
