I Bought Everything! (Haul Post)

I've been on a few trips to Boots in Liffey Valley over the last week - just to look obviously! But, of course I couldn't resist the deals they had, and left with half the shop, as per usual!

Here's all the little bits I picked up; some of these are things I've been looking for for a while, and others were just spur of the moment decisions! 

So, 'Collection' had a 3 for 2 offer on in boots last week, so I could not resist!

I picked up the 'Lasting Perfection' Concealer, I've bought it befoe, and I really like it; I find it blends really well with my skintone! I use the shade 'Fair 1' - the lightest shade! Plus it's only €

I then picked up the 'Lasting Gel Nail Colour' in 'Stormy Grey 11' just to see how t would live up to the Barry M one. Now, it's not grey in any way, t's definitely a nude/brown shade, but it is beautiful.

You will need two coats of it, if you want it to really shine though - but it's definitely worth the €3.99

Finally, I grabbed their 'Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit'! It has thee different powders for filling in your brows, and a clear brow gel! Now, I've never used a bow gel before so I'm excited to see how this works, and the powders appear to be quite well pigmented, so I'm excited to try them!

All for only €

Boots had a 3 for 2 on all cosmetics deal going on, so I picked up these two beauties, as well as a brush which you'll see soon! 

The 'Stay Matte' powder, is a powder I had before, and loved, so I decided to go back to it! The only problem I have with this, is that it's not the best to carry around with you - the last one I had broke within a week! 

 Then I grabbed this beauty of a foundation I've been looking for since it came out; but for some reason, Boots have been sold out of the ivory colour forever! I'm excited for this, and hope that it lives up to the 25 hour promise they make! I will definitely get back to you with that! 

Next up is the Barry M section; now I don't generally buy stuff from Barry M,, but their new nail colours are out, and if you spend more than €9, you got a free mascara! What? Yes please!

I picked up their 'Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint' in '????' and I also grabbed a grey which seems to have disappeared already! They were only €5.99 each, and I hear that they're really good, so I'm looking forward to tying them out! 

And, because I spent more than €9, I got their 'Showgirl' mascara (worth €7.49) free! The wand looks surprisingly good, so I can't wait to try it once my current one runs out! 

And lastly, I took advantage of the No7 vouchers that Boots give out at the counter! 

I picked up the 'Rapid Spot Relief' from No7's 'Beautiful Skin' range; this is one of the first No7 products I've bought, so I decided to try something a little different to what I'd usually try! This is usually €11, but their voucher lets you take €6.50 off the original price, so it only cost me €4.50.

That's almost everything I've picked up lately, but I'll have more posts coming for you soon enough I'm sure! I just can't seem to resist buying everything in my sight!
Let me know if y'all have tried any of these, I'd love to know what y'all think!

Haul Of My Faves

Wait a second, what is this? Two clothes hauls in a row? Wow Emma, you must never leave the shops right? Oh, how I wish that was true! 

These first two, are some absolute beauties; yes, they are the same piece of clothing in two different colours, and I am one hundred and twenty-five percent okay with that! I've never really been one to go for really bright, out-there colours, so you can imagine the fear I felt buying the both of these! 

But, I have to say, that I am now a firm believer that colour can and will completely change your outfit! 

The first one's a yellow ombré shirt, and the second a purple ombré shirt; they're quite long, and reach about mid-thigh! I wear mine with a skater skirt, crop top and pumps!  I bought them in a little boutique in New Ross in Co. Wexford, called 'Town and Country', and they were on sale for €22.49 each... not too bad right?

These are some of my favourite items of clothing, it's not even that they're particularly breathtakingly beautiful; but I have a deep adoration for them and where they come from! 

I bought them online, from a youtubers merch website; for some reason I feel like these tops 100% get me! 

The two guys are 'Shep689' on YouTube, and they do daily vlogs as well as their own videos on their own channels! I met them this past summer (You can see that post here!), and they are some of the most genuine people I've ever met, and they design pretty beautiful clothing too! 

The t-shirt up there is $20, and the tank top is $25; they're both still available right now (but I'm not sure for how much longer)! The website is here!

Sooo, that's all for now folks, I hope y'all enjoyed this, and I'll be back super soon with another post for y'all!

Another Clothes Haul

Heyyyy, so here I am again; with another haul; it probably looks like I buy a lot of things, but I don't really, promise! But here's more clothes I've picked up in the last while, that I'm kind of in love with.

These first two are from New Look; super comfortable too!

The first is a mint coloured, long vest, with quite a deep scooped neck! It's quite a see-through material, so of course you have to be careful what you wear under it!
It only cost me €10 in the Inspire section of New Look, and was definitely worth it! It looks super cute with leggings, a cardigan, a cute scarf, socks and boots during autumn!

The second is a super cute one my Mum picked up for me; she thought it was sweet because I had studied French in college! It's a cropped top, which is just the perfect length to wear over tube skirts, but I find it's a bit too long or skater skirts, unless you want to tuck it in (it'll still look super cute!).
This was really inexpensive at only €6 in New Look's sale, and definitely worth every cent of that!


These next two I picked up in TKMAXX - now I adore this shop, I always find at least one beautiful thing I want to take home with me, but my only problem is that thee never seems to be more than 3 or 4 of the one thing! It of course means I've got a bit of individuality, but it kills me to know that thee isn't much point telling people where I got it, because there's only a tiny chance they'll be able to get it!  But anyway... here's the two beauties I picked up!

The first one here is again a mint colour - I am obsessed and regret absolutely nothing! It's an absolute beauty with a very slight peplum! Now, I'm not one to wear a peplum often, as I feel it just accentuates my problem areas; but damn is this different, it very slightly peplums, and just covers the stomach area in a really flattering way!
Definitely worth the €14 I paid for it!

And last, but definitely not least, is my favourite thing in my wardrobe right now! This absolutely gorgeous Navy Cableknit Sweather is all I need in my life! It's just thin enough to no choke you with heat, but will most definitely keep you warm, and looks absolutely darling with anything you wear it with! For €11 I've never been happier with a purchase!

Those are just the little bits I've picked up in New Look and TKMAXX recently, and writing this makes me sooo excited to go shopping again!
I hope y'all enjoy this, and I'll see you soon! I'm finally back into the swing of college and can't wait to get back writing!

Hair (Accessories) Haul

This title sounds a lot creepier written down than it did in my head... oops! I promise that I have not spent days collecting peoples hair *shudder*. To be fair I should have named it 'Hair Accessories Haul', but sure you win some, you lose some!

I'd just like to say that this is a collective haul, along with the rest of the hauls I'm putting up! I definitely didn't pick it all up in one crazy shopping trip! So I still haven't worked out how to store all of these just yet, so they're still in a lil River Island bag on my desk! 

So now, take a look at this fancy little arty shot I made... yeah feast your eyes on this! Isn't she a beauty? Ok I'm done now... sorry!

  

Ok, you're welcome! Now here's the little bits I bought for my hair over the summer! 

(In another fancy collage... I know!)

1. Up first, is my new scrunchies. I'm still  not 100% sure whether or not I'll wear these too often, but I do think they're very cute, and they'll come out every once in a while!

The first is a mint and navy polka dot scrunchie from River Island and was €6, quite steep for a scrunchie. but I couldn't resist it! 

The second is a multi-colour almost paint splatter scrunchie. It cost me €3 on sale in New Look - half price, so really it was begging me to buy it!

2. Next up is my new love! I have fallen completely head over heels with bun garlands. I don't know why, but they are so so adorable, and can dress up the simplest outfits!

The white/cream and dark blue/black ones above I bought in Penneys, and are definitely my favourite, as they are completely surrounded by flowers, leaving no gaps! They only cost €2.50.

The mint green one was bought in New Look for €3.99, I think it's beautiful because I love the colour, but I wish it was completely surrounded by flowers.

And the last one - the pink daisies - is the first bun garland I bought; I picked it up in River Island for €6. It's super cute and I love the baby pink colour. 

3. Next is my super cute hair bow. It's actually quite big, and has a lovely watermelon print on a black background! It was only €3 in New Look (I think?). It was definitely worth it though, as it makes pulling back your hair a lot cuter than just bobby pins. 

4. Lastly are my headbands; I've only recently gotten into these, as I've started to try and wear my hair down more often, so these dress it up a bit.

First is a simple navy/black rose design I got in Penneys for €2.50 - personally my favourite.

The next is a twisted bead design, which actually looks lovely when your hair is in a loose bun. This is from New Look and was only €3.99.

And the last one is a sort of tribal beaded design, I haven't worn this much, but it is simply adorable! It was only €2.99 in New Look as well!

So thoses are all the little hair bits I've gone crazy over recently! I rarely buy any 'cute' hair accessories, as I used to wear my hair pulled back a lot! Now that it's a quite a bit longer, I'm excited to wear all these a bit more!

I hope you enjoyed this, and I'm so happy to be back blogging! Leave a comment if there's anything you want to know!

#BackToCollege Clothing Haul -Penneys

I've just headed back to the good old college life, and I decided it'd be fun to do a little bit of shopping for it! I realised after photographing all my new clothes, that I seem to have bought a thousand tops, and absolutely no bottoms. That is not the case though, they are on the way!

Here's all the little things I bought in Penneys; hope you enjoy all these lil bits!

First up is a plain black ribbed crop top. I'm probably going to wear this under some of the chiffon shirts I have, simply because I find it is just a little bit too short to wear uncovered. I think it'll pair with almost anything because it's so simple and understated.

 I got this in Penneys for €1, so I really couldn't say no when I saw it!

The second one up there, is a white chiffon shirt, I absolutely adore the pattern on this shirt; a simple black daisy print all over. I personally find that it's perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans just a little bit, so you don't have to try too hard, but still look like you tried. 

This beauty was on sale for only €7 in Penneys.

This little top in the middle, is a beautiful shade of mint green, and the perfect length for a crop top. It's just the right length to be able to tuck into any high-waisted skirt or shorts, but also looks adorable left untucked for a slightly flowier look. 

This was again on sale for only €1 in Penneys. 

No. 4 up above is a beautiful (although slightly see-through) floral print on the front, and plain white on the back. I love wearing it with a simple black or denim skater skirt; as it's quite a detailed print, it's nice to pair it with something a bit simpler.

This was only €3 in Penneys. 

And last, is one of my favourite tops I've bought! It's actually a 'muscle tank', meaning there is almost no sides to the top; now I didn't realise this before I bought it, but it looks super cute with a bandeau or bralette underneath. Also the saying 'I'd rather be in L.A.' - a girl can dream right? 

So these are just the little bits I grabbed in Penneys before college, but I have quite a lot of clothes from other shops around Ireland! I'm soo excited to get those out as well, because some of the things are just soo cute!

Hope you enjoyed this, and can't wait for the next one (too much?).

#BackToCollege Folder Haul

This may be a bit of a weird one, I have a slight obsession with buying new stationery for college! But I do it every year, so I have way too many stashed away at home! I'm not the only one who just has to buy every little cute folder I see, right?

Well anyway here's the cutest lil ones I could find this time, and I can not wait to use them now I'm back in college! 

Theses two are super sweet! The first is a vertical stripe in black, white and grey, and was just right down my street when I saw it; couldn't resist!  The second is a dark and light blue kinda tribal pattern, and is super adorable. I quite like it actually! I bought both of these in Aldi for only €1.99 - such a steal 

Now these two are probably my favourites - but to be honest I say that about all of them! They are both quite a similar patter, just that the second has 4 characters blown up on it. It looks a bit weird on here, but the background is squares, like you would have had in maths copies! 

The first is actually a lever arch file, so is that little bit bigger - absolutely perfect for all my college notes!

I bought both of these in Tesco - The big one for €3.50 and the smaller for €2.75.

This one is a cutie I bought in the book station for €1.75 - I got two! It's just a very simple plastic folder with elastic around the corners to keep it closed. The horizontal stripes in different shades of green are so cute! I'm hoping it'll work well to keep in my bag so I don't have to carry the bigger folders to college!

This is the last one I have! It was only 99c in Easons, definitely worth it too! It's simply the cutest cartoon pattern all round; I absolutely adore this old fashioned prints and the womens makeup is to die for!

That's all I've got folder wise for ye! I hope you enjoyed seeing them! And you should definitely go buy some pretty stationery if you haven't done it all ready this summer! Thank you so much for reading this!

The Summer Summaries - Wexford part 2

Yayyy, here's another of my little adventures from Wexford this summer! This one's a bit of a cheat, but I hope y'all enjoy it anyway.
While in Co. Wexford during the summer, my family and I took a short trip across to Dunmore East in Waterford. It's not a long journey, only an hour or so, with a short trip on the ferry. Dunmore East is an absolutely stunning little place along the coast, with the sweetest views.

We weren't there for long, only a few hours; but we had the opportunity to visit some of my family who were there on holiday for a week. Hopefully these pictures do the area of Dunmore East some justice. So here they are:

Thank y'all so much for reading this! Also, I'd just like to say sorry that these posts are quite picture heavy! I hope you don't mind too much though!
Lemme know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see on here!
