Weekly Haul // Bans for spending bans

I shopped again, I had no intentions of shopping, but after popping into the smelly post office I deserved a treat, waiting in queue of B.O and booze smelling locals fresh air was a treat alone.

I've been pretty good when it comes to Lush, I buy a lot, I have a lot, but I use it all. I ordered online, my store lacks the 'Lush atmosphere' as you know. Bathos (purple bubble bar) & Happy (blue bubble bar) are both retro items and can only be purchased online or by phone.
Creamy Candy & Think Pink are items I've always used from Lush since day one and I rarely get them these days, they're a must for the ultimate girly bath.
Dream Time & Geophyzz are my next purchases, they're not so pretty but are amazing. Geophyzz is the spa bath bomb of Lush. Volcano foot mask is a must after being on your feet or shopping, while Grease Lightning is for my brother, it works wonders for me, hopefully it does for him.

Despite having a lot of foundations I'm not really liking them at the moment but the one I do, Maybelline have discontinued. However Max Factor have one just like it, same packaging, different colour. Boots currently have £3 off Max Factor, so I snapped it up. Dream Creamy was a great foundation for dry, pale skin in winter so hopefully this is even better.

More Kleenex facial cloths, they're still on offer while food shopping, I'll continue to buy them while they're half price. I know you can get cotton pads cheaper, I own a whole jar of them. But I love using these compared to a couple cotton pads.

I had a pair of Boots in the Christmas sales from Newlook and wear them to death. They were from the 915 range, size 2, yes 2, my feet are ridiculously small, my 4 year old cousin is catching me up. I went to see what they had for this year. I looked in the adults before going to the Teen section, the adults boots are definitely missing something. For £22.99, these are suede or like and studded. I picked up size 3, the only 3 they had in!? In the Teen range!? The adults normally lack 3's not the Teens.

I love my jeggings, I hate skinny jeans because they never fit me properly. I'm not a fan of the leggings that have the denim print either, tacky. Finding jean jeggings to fit my chickeny legs is hard, but while browsing Debenhams I spotted these in the Quiz section. For £22.99 these are brilliant, they're so soft, remain jean like and have more stretch than my favourite Gap's.
That's my latest buys, what are yours? I want everything in the A/W collections.

    1. Thank you! I love them, especially the studding! I think they only go up to a 6 :( You don't even save much in the teen department not on shoes!?

  2. I used to use that Max Factor foundation :) I think it's nice and quite light weight. I'm not sure if it still comes with the sponge, but don't use that! It soaks up so much product. I used to go through this foundations so quick! xx

    1. It feels light and creamy, so I hope it works for me! Yeah it does, I won't use it, the maybelline one I use to buy has a sponge and it was awful!

  10. I tried the kleenex cotton wool pads and really didnt like them. I think they have a strange feel to them and they gave me a really itchy face :(
    I really need to try some Lush products from the Retro range.

  11. Creamy candy and think pink <3 My ultimate combo!
    My latest buys are nothing. :p Tell fibbs. We got shampoo, superdrugs own 99p stuff.. I still have some Aussie and Herbal Esscences left but Robbie prefers superdrugs own. Though I tell fibs. £3.99 for a pack of pore strips.. or two for £3.99 err, no brainer offer there superdrug! So I got be lots of nose strips. Should last a while! Tiny treat that is well deserved after the weekend. But unless poundland yeilds some more hidden gems, that's it for me!
