Being in sixth form means that I hardly get to see my friends who go to collage...which sucks! So what a better way to catch up than a small shopping spree...
First stop was Primark! The store near me hasn't really appealed to me during the past months but as the autumn/winter ranges are coming out I have actually been loving some of their new stuff!
The first thing I picked up was this black and white chiffon blouse with a large black bow and black velvet spots along the top. I thought it was a cute little top that would look lovely with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. This was only £8.00
The next thing I picked up was this cute, festive pj set for £5.00. I have been meaning to buy some more pjs for a while but nothing I saw really took my fancy until now. Primark have recently got some really nice pj sets for good prices so grab them while you can! I will definitely be going back for more!
Whilst standing in the queue I noticed some festive socks (you can never have too many pairs of socks). It's always a pain when you go to put on a pair and you find holes or that they are on their way out. I realised
that I don't really own any festive or winter patterned socks so I picked up a pack of 5 for £3.00... bargain!
After picking up the socks I turned around and saw a stand full of lipsticks for £1.00 (can't argue with that). Whilst having a brief browse I saw an orange/ peach toned one that simply caught my eye and stood out from the rest. This colour also grabbed my attention as I don't own any colours other than nudes, pinks and reds (as none have really appealed to me). So I picked one up to try out, I also thought it would be a nice subtle colour for autumn time :)
(especially if your school is strict on make up like mine).
Another massive perk to this lipstick (which I found out when I got home) is that it smells AMAZING! It doesn't have that ordinary awful lipstick smell.. oh no! In fact it smells all fruity either oranges or strawberries (I couldn't tell).. yum!
If you have this please tell me what you think of it and that the smell is... I need to know!
After Primark the next stop was New Look. but there was nothing I really liked or stood out to me and there wasn't many ankle boots in stock yet.. darn! (main reason I went in). So I hit the sales (there are often pretty decent items in their sales for good prices) where I picked up this skirt (The belt reminded me of fallen leaves) it was knocked down from £20.00 all the way to £6.00...wahheeey! I thought it would look nice with tights, boots and a nice blouse or T.shirt for a casual autumn look!
This morning I ran out of pressed powder so I popped into boots to pick some up, luckily for me it was in the sale for £1.99.

Final stop was one of my favourite places... LUSH!
I felt quite adventurous so I decided to purchase two ball ballistics (bath bombs) that I haven't tried before (but I have heard so much about).
The first one I picked up was the "space girl" ball ballistic it looks so pretty and smells just like parma violets, it includes popping candy for a crackling effect; turning the water purple. (£2.25)
Since I have never tried any of the festive products I decided it was time for a change so I purchased a 'golden wonder' ball ballistic (£.3.50). There has been a huge hype about this product and it sells fast it! It looks and smells lovely and I have been told that it turns your bath many colours and has mini presents inside (how cute and festive).
Have you have used these before? what are your thoughts? are they good? are there any more you would recommend?
If you want any reviews on the above then let me know!
