So for the first time on my blog, I will be doing a haul! So this weekend (17/07/2015-19/07/2015), I went to Stratford for a weekend away with my parents, and as per usual I spent way too much money and got more things than I needed! So, let's get into the haul as I feel we could be here for a while!
Sports Direct
So the first place I went was Sports Direct as next week (depending when this post goes live), I'm going to London for a week to do an acting course at a professional drama school. This meant going and getting some smart dance clothes.
Firstly, I got 5 similar looking tops but you will only see three of them as I have three of the first design.
Miss Fiori Sports Top- £3
Lee Cooper Sports Top-£5
Lee Cooper Sports Top-£4.99
I got 5 as I will be doing a lot of intense work and I won't be able to wash them as I'm staying in a hotel.
Next I got to Sports Bras as the ones I have a cheapy ones from Marks and Spencers, now some people might find this a bit inappropriate but I don't think it's something to be ashamed of.
Lonsdale Sports Bra- 2 for £13
After that, I got two pairs of jogging bottoms and I spent a lot more money on these than I did with the tops as I didn't want them to rip and be remembered as the person with holey trousers.
Nike Jogging Pants- £26.99 each
Can we just take a minute to appropriate how cute my kitty Mac is, which you can see in the corner of all of these photos. He decided to come and join me while I was taking my photos. He's a 7 year old tabby cat and I've had him since he was 12 weeks.
Just look how cute he is "he's so fluffy, I'm gonna die"
But, anyway back to the things I bought. Next, I got something pretty boring- Blister Plasters.
Karrimor Blister Plasters- £2.49
Finally, I got some dance trainers with gel insoles.
Karrimor Running Trainers- £26 (roughly)
Dunlop Gel Insoles- £7
These gel insoles are amazing. They are so comfy and are really useful, they have shock absorbing things in so you don't damage you feet while dancing.
Boots
Next I went to Boots and got a few things for the trip to London, but I also got some fun things.
Bleach London Hair Crayons in The Big Pink, Bruised Violet and Out Of The Blue- £4 each.
The Big Pink is a vibrant pink colour.
Bruised Violet is a bright purple colour.
Out Of The Blue is a dark blue colour.
I got these Hair Crayons as I have been dying my hair for the last 3-4 years and want to go back to my natural colour of light blonde. However, I wanted to do something funky with my hair without dying is permanently. These allow me to do this without having to worry about it not being gone by the time I return to school. They wash out between 1-4 weeks, depending on the colour of your hair.
Next I got the Gillette Snap with Embrace razor.
This is designed for shaving on the go and retails at £5
I got this to take with me to London as it is portable and comes in a case which means it won't get dirty.
After that, I got to samples of Sanctuary Spa Face Masks.
Pink: Time Reversal Face Mask- £3 and Green: Moisture Boosting Mask- £3
Again, I got these to take on holiday as it is a perfect time to try new things. I already have the Thermal Detox Masks from Sanctuary Spa.
Next I got some hand wipes as the packet I carry in my little black emergency bag dried up and I hated the smell of the yellow packet.
Wet Ones Be Gentle- £1.15
Then I got something I have wanted for ages, the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light which sells at £7.99.
On the Boots website there are lots of mixed reviews saying the light shade is too dark, but for me it is a perfect match and does exactly what it says on the packaging. It is my new favorite concealer. This will definitely be featured in future posts.
Next, I got two deodorants by Sure. One is a roll on, the other is a spray.
Sure Maximum Protection Sport Strength- £3.99
Sure Motion Sense- £3.19
Now you're probably thinking, Carenza why did you get two types of deodorant? I'll tell you why, because then I have the option for either spray or roll on.
Denman Classic Styling Brush- £6.99
I got this as my Lee Stafford Brush which I bought in April broke on the same day I bought it and it cost me £9.99.
WhSmiths
I only got one thing from WhSmiths and it was a Colouring Therapy Magazine.
Colouring Therapy- £5.99
Now I understand that I don't need therapy but I love colouring and I find it really therapeutic and it calms me down whenever I'm upset or in a bad mood.
New Look
Finally, I went to New Look and got 4 items to add to my summer collection.
Firstly I picked up this colourful of the shoulder dress. Now this is not in my usual style as I usually stick to monochrome as it suits me, but I saw this and I knew I needed it. It has this beautiful 70s inspired print and is just so colourful.
Next, I picked up this white lacey kimono. Kimonos are perfect for summer as they cover you up but they don't make you too hot. This kimono will go really nicely with the colourful shoulder dress.
Then I picked up this funky tasseled t-shirt with this awesome print on it. It is so cool and funky, I'm obsessed with it and can tell it will be featuring in future favorites.
Finally, I got this monochrome print pair of shorts. I love this tribal print and in monochrome, it adds something to a plain outfit.
So that is everything I bought and I hope you enjoyed reading it, leave a comment bellow about which was your favorite thing and if you have any suggestions for posts!
Carenza x
