London Haul

So last Saturday my mum and I went to Covent Garden in London to do a bit of shopping and see the Lion King at the Lyceum (which was amazing by the way). I spent way too much money (despite the fact that we didn't even have that much time to shop) and so I thought I would share what it was that I bought!

We had got off the tube in Covent Garden and within five minutes I had bought a pair of ridiculously over-priced shoes. These limited edition Liberty Sky Hi Nike Air Max's are the most beautiful trainers I have ever seen. They were a whopping £119 and I am still a little in shock that I actually bought them, but I love them so much and if you can't spoil yourself in December then when can you, eh?



I was so excited to find a MAC store, but it seemed, so did the rest of London and so this tiny shop was filled with a million people. I had to make quick decisions about what I wanted to buy before I got knocked out by over-excited shoppers and so I bought myself a lip liner, a lipstick and an eyeshadow before I could think too hard about it.

I bought the lip liner in 'Vino' and I didn't even know I wanted it until the assistant, very persuasively, told me that it would go with the lipstick I was buying. It is a lovely deep red/purple colour and cost £12.
The lipstick was one that I first saw on Sammi from beautycrush and I thought it looked gorgeous. It was £15 and last a long time on your lips. (It also smells of vanilla is that just me?!)
Finally I bought an eyeshadow that I've been pining after for months and months and I'm so glad I finally bought it! It is a lovely dark brown matte colour and cost £12.50.


I also bought myself a perfume from Zara which was such an affordable price, for 50ml it was £7.99 which I think is such great value for money. The scent is called 'White' and it is quite jasminey and floral.

Finally we went into Urban Outfitters, and even though there were a million things i could have tried on and bought, especially in the presents section, we had to catch the tube to get the train and had only about ten minutes to spare, but maybe that was a good thing!
I ended up buying a beauuuuutiful white lace bra (which you can see here) which was very overpriced but oh well, and a hair scrunchie with cheetahs on.


So those are all of the things I picked up from London. I feel like I won't be doing any more big shops for a looooong time to come (especially for shoes!)
