I did a bit of shopping...

...so thought I'd share.

I got this post up a bit later as I wanted to try out the products and it's a been two trips across to Edinburgh, so it's more of a collective haul. My dad came to visit me; so we took a trip across for a day out, he knows me too well! If I find any of the stuff I bought, online, click on the picture and it should send you to the site :)

I first hit up Lush to get myself a new shampoo, having a sensitive scalp, Lush has always been my hero by keeping my hair clean and grease at bay (gross but true!)

I’ve tried a few of their shampoo bars but I always go back to the Seanik (Sorry I don’t have a photo, I forgot to take one before I started using it! My bad…)

The great thing about their shampoo bars is when I travel I don’t really need to worry about the liquid aspect of it going everywhere as well as the 100ml aspect too. What I like the most about this particular bar is that it keeps my hair clean, shiny and bouncy for at least 3days! It’s honestly amazing, all you greasy scalp people you need to pick this beauty up!

I also got the Superbalm, which is a scalp treatment that is suppose to help keep a healthier scalp, which I have to say I need help with. I’ve been having trouble with hair fall lately; I needed a natural way to get rid of the gunk that’s stopping the nutrients get into my hair roots back to it’s thick wavy self.



I used it for a good 2 weeks along with the shampoo bar and my hair fall hasn’t minimised drastically but it has defiantly gotten better; but I have noticed a big difference, in that my hair has defiantly gotten a lot thicker and fuller looking which is great.


I generally have quite dry lips, which can be a horror during colder days, so I like having a lip scrub at bay. I do like making my own, but I thought I’d treat myself to one. After having a sniff of the 3 to pick from, popcorn defiantly smelt to my taste, and might I add it does taste delicious! It does what it’s supposed to do and I couldn’t be more pleased with it, worth a try.

I like going to the Boots in Edinburgh as you can get the higher end products in there too, so I thought I’d treat myself at the Benefit counter.

I got myself the very hyped Hoola bronzer. I can understand why it’s so loved, I’m already naturally quite tanned, but I get quite a pale face when I’ve not had the sun in a while so this has helped a lot with giving me a bit of a glow.


I’m not much of a blush girl but the lady at the counter totally sold me on Rockateur. It’s got some shimmer with a slight, I’d say baby pink colour, which I quite like as it gives a bit of a highlight on my cheek bones and gives me quite a natural, subtle glow. I’ll defiantly get a lot of use out of this one!


We hit up urban outfitters as the sales there are seriously too good, (even dad got a few things for himself! (from the men's section of course))

I saw this beauty hanging up and just knew I’d love it even more when I tried it on, the detail long the cuts of lace just gave it this edge from the floral pattern all over the skirt, and being a shorty the length and fit was perfect, added bonus!



These shoes had been hiding under the racks, it was defiantly love at first sight even my dad was like, “you got to get them!” I can honestly say they are super comfortable, I wore them for a whole day walking about, totally worth it! *plus I got them for £50, extra bonus!*




Now this is actually something I actually was looking for, I wanted to get something to put under my baggy or see-through tops making it look more ‘elegant’.
They only had the blue/purple colour in stock

I just loved the lase and how simple it was, I thought it would go with the majority of my tops/dresses.

Of course I have to hit up Topshop, first place I head, the sales rack.
I couldn't find this one online


My dad actually spotted these; he is quite good with spotting things and defiantly knows a
thing or two about what I like to wear; which still amazes me. They were part of the vintage part that some Topshop’s have, which is probably why I had never seen, shorts like them.

While looking through the petite section I saw this adorable top, as I love crop tops and I was completely sold due to the cute pom-pom detailing along the top; what can I say, I’m easily pleased; and At £7 you can’t go wrong!

Couldn't find the exact piece but I found one close.

Last but not least I headed to H&M but nothing from the ladies section seem to attract me, so I decided to look through the guys sale section and found this adorable pug jumper but they were all far too large for me to even get away with it; then I came across this; I thought I could style it with leggings or even shorts. You can never have too much Disney related clothes...
