Haul & Gifts

I've seen a lot of Boxing Day sale hauls and Christmas hauls and wanted to do one myself, but instead of doing separate ones I thought I'd do a combined post!
So I'll include some presents I've got and some things I've bought for myself. 

I'll also try add the price of things and where they were from, but I'm sorry if I can't! Some were for Christmas :(


I absolutely love this Rose Gold looking watch, it was only £5 which I thing is such a steal. I fell in love with it because it looks just like the Michael Kors one. The only problem was, there was no way to adjust it to make it fit my wrist which was pretty confusing, so I had my boyfriend take it apart and remove links so it now fits! :) Yay!


This is the 'Night before Christmas' gift set from Lush. I'm not sure how much it was as it was a gift, and on the website the gift box is not available to buy anymore, so I'm going to look on the website and try find out how much each individual item is :)


This is the only bath bomb I've used out of this set yet. It smelt absolutely beautiful! I can't really explain the smell, so you'd have to smell it for yourself in the shop. It also turned my bath green which I wasn't expecting!
This bath bomb isn't on the website anymore so can't find the cost.



This bath bomb costs £3.25

I don't usually buy from Victoria's Secret but I really wanted to try one of the body mists they have. They were also on sale for half price! It was so hard to choose one but I chose 'Midnight Dare', it smells like raspberries and other fruity type things. It cost £5.50 in the sale. I've also used it so much since I bought it and it hasn't gone down a lot so I can tell it's gonna last me for ages.


'Archie's girls' is actually a limited edition by Mac so this isn't available to buy anymore unless someone is selling it on Ebay/Amazon etc. I'm not sure how much it was as it was one of the presents from my mum :)


I don't usually wear eye-shadow but everyone is saying how much they recommend these, so I thought I would go out and buy one. I bought it in pink gold because I absolutely loved the colour and it was also not too bright when I tested it on my hand in the shop. It's quite subtle when you put it on your eye but that's what I like about it, it just has a pink gold shimmer to it and its super pretty. 

These cost £4.99 each from Superdrug


This was the first blusher I have ever bought myself, I bought it quite a while ago now but since I haven't blogged in a while I thought I would add it in. It's perfect for every season! In the summer you can use the right hand side of it for a tanned/bronzing look or the left hand side in the winter for a more rosy look. It's really pigmented and you can build it up to have as much or as less as you want. 
This was a little more pricey but it's definitely worth it.

£11.50 at Boots


This is also something I bought a while ago but wanted to add it in. Sleek blusher in 'Pixie pink'. I love this shade so much it's so pretty when you put it on. It's quite small and has a compact mirror so it's perfect for taking out with you. I also think the packaging for this and every sleek product is so pretty, it reminds me of a black iPhone 5 with the shiny and matte black finishes :)

This was £4.49 from Superdrug


I bought this in New Look during the sales, but this wasn't a sale item. It's a tweed looking coat and it's quite thin so it makes it nice for whether it's cold or warm weather. It was originally £29.99 but I got the student discount which made it 10% cheaper at £26.99. I absolutely love this coat, I've never worn anything like this before but I think it looks quite classy on if you wear it with the right clothes :)
It was also in the kids section in new look, so this is actually sized for 12-13 year olds... I tried on the 14-15 one but they're really big and baggy, I definitely don't think a 12 year old would fit this one it would be way too big.


This is a polka-dot dress with a peter pan collar. It's long sleeved and is very thin material. It was from Zara for £35.99. It was partly a Christmas present and I absolutely love it :) it goes nicely with my new coat! 
The only problem I had with it is that the seam down the back frayed the first time I wore it because the stitching was so loose! But Zara kindly exchanged it for me and I haven't had the same problem with this one....yet :)


I adore this onesie! It was an early Christmas present I got from my boyfriend! You can feel the warmth as soon as you put it on! It also has a super cute good with rabbit ears on and a rabbit tail on the back (which I've not taken a photo of). It's cuffed on the bottom of the legs which I love because it doesn't ride up your leg when you're laying down with it on :) 

This onesie was £35 from Next


I always wanted an EOS lip balm but they're so expensive to buy online and we don't have them in the UK! But fortunately I found this one on Amazon for under £6! I can't remember exactly how much it cost. 
It's smells so nice and feels really nice and moisturising on your lips! I think if you can get your hands on them, get as many as you can because I would love to try the different flavours there are :)


I bought this with the help from my boyfriend, we have a little savings jar that we both add to and it's meant to take us for a nice meal out or something when it gets full but he knows my love for Katy Perry so he let us buy me this c: I'm so so grateful because it's such a perfect album. Katy Perry is my absolute favourite artist, I love how her songs all have a meaning that have come from real life events and she's not one of those singers that sits back and lets all the songwriters do her songs for her, she actually writes her songs. She's so inspirational and I love her. Another thing I got bought was tickets to see her in May, I don't have a picture because I have to print the tickets out myself, but we got priority o2 tickets and have pretty much the best seat in the arena... I was so speechless when I got a phone call when I was in college telling me I had tickets. Amazing! SO EXCITED.


I was lucky enough to get given this ticket for free! It's a ticket to see the Peter Pan and the Never Ending story show. We were also in our own VIP booth that are usually worth £1500, and it was amazing! There is a little preview on YouTube of the show they did in Wembley arena, I definitely recommend you watching it :) The stage settings were amazing and they did songs that everyone knew and it was just an amazing experience :) There are actually a few photos on my personal instagram, so if you're interested in seeing those head on over to @_undertheseaaaa to look at those and our view from the VIP booth!


This was a gift so I'm not sure how much it was but I think it's quite an old Kylie Minogue perfume so I don't think it's too expensive :) You can get it from pretty much anywhere that sells perfume; Boots, Debenhams etc. I wouldn't have bought this for myself because I'm not a Kylie fan but my mum had this and I was always pinching a bit so she bought me my own :)



This Lady Gaga set was also a gift but I think it was from Superdrug! I'm not sure on the price though :) I've had this perfume before but without the body lotion and show gel, it's one of my favourite perfumes ever. I love how the liquids are black, it's so different. The bottle is so pretty and everything in this set just looks and smells so nice! It also came in a fancy little red, velvet case which looks really nice :) I definitely recommend the Lady Gaga set/perfume.



Thank you for reading!
