So I have figured out one problem with college is that it is
in town, my metro I get goes through the centre of town where all the shops are
and on a Friday I finish college early at 2:35pm and since I don’t get to go
home at around 5pm, I decide to go into town and have a look around and of
course this leads to spending money. So over the last few weeks this is what I
have bought.
So I’m going to start with clothing as I have only bought
one clothing item, which was from H&M and is a knitted jumper which is
black and grey striped and I bought the medium sized jumper which makes it look
oversized and I can say it’s one of the comfiest things I own I wore it to
college last week and it was nice to wear, plus I’m a fan of sweater paws so I
love to do that with my jumpers and it’s just getting me into the mood of
winter really and this jumper was £12.99.
Moving away from clothes I’m going to start with a bath item
I’ve bought that isn’t from Lush, a lot of people, or the majority of people
will have heard that Zoe Sugg has released her beauty range (Zoella Beauty)
which is all bath related items, I recently found out the Superdrug in
Newcastle sells her range, so I went a head and bought the fizz bar which was
£5.
I also of course had to pop into Lush especially since it’s
been redecorated and all changed around, which lead to me spending way more
than I would have liked to. The first thing I bought was the Brightside Bubble
bar, which was £4.75. The bubble bar itself has a very citrus smell and it’s
very strong, it does smell fruity and it makes the bath a red, slightly orange
and creates a lot of bubbles.
Also from Lush I bought the bath bomb Granny Takes A Dip
which was £3.35 and I love this bath bomb I did originally cut it into four
completely forgetting it was a bath bomb ( I thought it was a bubble bar haha)
and I used a quarter of it and I thought it was really nice and it still made
my bath all colourful and pretty but of course if I used the entire thing then
it would have been much more colourful, but I think a quarter is actually
enough for one bath.
Since this haul has been over the last month or so I went
into Lush whilst they had the Halloween collection and I think they may still
have a few things in, but I went in and bought the sparkly pumkin and when I
say sparkly it is very sparkly, I picked it up and basically I walked out
covered in glitter, it’s been a few weeks now and I’m still finding glitter on
my leather jacket and in my mam’s car! Anyway this one is such an autumnal
scent, it’s basically a comforting, warm smell it will instantly make you feel
cosy! This has to be my favourite one I’ve ever bought, even though it’s just a
bubble bar it’s the semll that makes it my favourite. I love autumn so having
an autumn scented bath it’s amazing especially after a long day of college and
I’m trying to wind down and this was £3.50.
And the final thing I bought from Lush was from their
Christmas collection and that is the Candy Mountain, I couldn’t resist I felt
the urge to get something related to Christmas since when I had gone in they
had just put their collection out, and that one was the one that stood out
because it’s so sweet, it’s literally a bubble bar that has the scent of sweets
or snow fairy, it’s great If you love sweet scents but it is quite strong and I
think it can be a bit overpowering.
I also popped into Superdrug as I needed some hair spray and
once again I ended up getting the same hair spray as what I had bought last
time which is the Got 2 Be 2 sexy big volume push up hairspray and I got it on
special for £1 something I can’t remember the exact price as this was three
weeks ago I bought it and I know I’m late with this post but I thought I needed
to let it build up for the things I’ve bought so I could make this post anyway
Superdrug had this special on and I was in need for some hair spray and I love
this hair spray (and may I add it smells incredible) so I bought it.
Also from superdrug I bought the Schwarzkopf live colour XXL
Hair Dye in Raspberry rebel 91, this was £4 and it was quite a spontaneous buy
I wanted to do something different with my hair so I bought this, the colour is
like a redish pink it is a red toned pink I’d say and it was only a semi
permanent dye and I dyed it two weeks
ago almost three and it’s literally all out now but I can’t seem to find a
colour like it that’s permanent, do any of you know where to buy a permanent
dye in this kind of colour? If so can you let me know in the comments But it
was really cool to dye my hair that colour it was something very different and
something I don’t usually do and I’m willing to do it again.
I then went to Rymans it's a stationary shop and bought three oxford notebooks
which have 150 pages in and they’re just the books with pages that rip out and
flip over I got three for under £10 I paid between £6 and £7 for the three of
them.
I also remembered that just before half term my bag broke so
I also had to buy a new one, I went with a vans backpack as they’re big bags
and I can fit my necessary things in there whilst still having a lot of space
in there, plus it’s a big enough bag to fit my laptop in. I bought this one on
amazon for £34 as I couldn’t get it off the proper Vans website as they took it
off the website., but it was cheaper
from amazon than the actual website as on the website it should have been £40.
The final thing that I bought which was college related is
this book, it’s called The History Boys and It’s a play by Alex Bennett and I
was meant to read it for my English Lit as this is the new topic I’m starting
and I may have started to read it once and I got up to page 38 and kind of
stopped reading it and I was meant to have finished it by now oops! Anyway this
book is about this group of boys in sixth form and they all take history and
they’re trying to get into oxford university ( I think) It’s quite a good book
and I enjoyed the film to it and from what I’ve read in the book it seems quite
goo and this was about £7.
And the final thing I bought was Beauty related and was from
Asda and it’s a Rimmel London Apocalypse Lip Lacquer in the colour Big Bang and this is just a
bright red lacquer and it’s like my other two I own which is in the colour Nova
and Apocalypse, it’s like a stain and lasts for a good few hours and it does
take a while to dry but once dry it will last for two maybe three hours. I paid
£4.50 for it on a deal, but these are usually around £6 plus for one.
So this was my haul over the last month or so I have had to
buy a few college related items but I thought I’d include them in case you were
curious also i am sorry that i did use photos from the internet, but i did forget to photograph the Lush stuff i bought and i have used it and i also used the dye so i threw the box away and about the hair dye if anyone knows if there is a permanent colour
that is similar to the one I used could you let me know I’d like to dip dye my
hair pink again but I would like it to last longer. Anyway I hope you enjoyed
this post and I’ll post again soon.
