A Fashion & Beauty Haul

As the title of this post suggest, January may have been a month of treating myself to a few new Fashion & Beauty items.. Whilst it's safe to say I don't technically need any of these, picking them up definitely helped beat those lingering January blues.


Top: Primark - £10.00
Burgundy Heels - New Look - £14.00 reduced from £27.99 [x]
Jeans - Primark - £7.00 each
Nike Roche Runs - Foot Asylum - £24.99 reduced from £49.99 [x]
Invisibobbles - Primark - £1.00
Make-up Revolution "I Heart Chocolate" Palette - £7.99 [x]
Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation - £7.99 [x]
Ariana Grande Viva Glam Lipstick - MAC - £15.50 [x]
Sanctuary Spa "Little Tin of Treats" - Boots - £4.00 reduced from £8.00 [x]
Rimmel Brow This Way clear Gel - £3.99 [x]

Fashion:
At the start of the month I was lucky enough to pick up something I've been lusting after for at least a year now - Nike Roche Runs. For women, these trainers usually retail at around £70.00 - however I recently noticed that in Foot Asylum children's sizes extend all the way to a UK 5.5 (perfect for UK size 4 me) & are therefore retail for much cheaper. Of course the added bonus of a sale meant these went straight into my basket ready to become my own. I've found that these trainers are perfect for both day-to-day & gym wear & are honestly the comfiest shoes I have ever owned. 

The next pieces I picked up were ones I was lucky enough to find whilst on sale. These include the gorgeous burgundy chunky heels from New Look & the Sanctuary Spa gift set. Both of which were picked up for much less than the original retail price. I also *accidentally* made a quick stop into Primark where - whilst purchased full priced - I managed to pick up a few bits for very reasonable prices (who could say no to £7.00 jeans?!). 

Beauty: 
The first beauty product I picked up was a a tried & tested favourite (Rimmel's Lasting Perfection Foundation) which was quickly followed by a few new items that caught my eye. These included the Ariana Grande Viva Glam Lipstick from Mac (click here to read a full review) & Brow This Way clear Gel.. Something I'm hoping will help tame those pesky fly-away hairs. 

Next I picked up something I've had my eye on for a while now.. The Make-up Revolution "I Heart Chocolate" palette. Whilst this is a clear dupe of the  Too Faced "Chocolate Bar" palette, the shades are gorgeous (plus it retails for a fraction of the price). 

I honestly love each of the items that I picked up this month & am so happy with the offers/dupes I managed to find. Although it's safe to say I'm hoping for "no-spend February" to follow! 

I hope you liked this little haul post.. If you've tried any of the products/items mentioned above, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
