Video Blog: Laura Mercier makeover and a Lush haul.

Enjoy, kids!

A little Primark haul ♥

Hello followers, hope you've all eased into Monday without too much hassle! Work was rather dull today but hopefully it'll pick up tomorrow and, if not, I'll be going to see The Boyfriend after work for cuddles on the sofa!

Moving on, I thought I'd show you a few bits I picked up from Primark over the weekend. I had a tiny bit of cash and hit Primark as I hadn't been there in ages and it always makes your pennies stretch.

So, first off in the top left is the gold plaited bangle. I figured I don't have enough bangles and needed some more costume pieces to jazz up my outfits for work, this is especially fab as it goes with the whole nude and peach tones I've been wearing a lot of lately. Think it was £2.

Next is the leaf detail bracelet which snaps shut. This was in the sale reduced to a mere quid!

Then we have the gold and purple stone ring. I have a lot of rings from Primark, mainly because they manage to fit my long fingers perfectly and this one will go with a lot- fab for £1.50.

Just down from the ring are these drape style gold earrings. Can you see how they're slightly broken? I didn't realise but, oh well, what can you expect from Primark? Again, these were £1.50.

Then we have this gorgeous floral scarf which is perfect for summer, so lightweight and has a pretty watercolour style pattern to it. I paid £3 for this and wore it with a sheer peach top and black tuxedo trousers for work today.

And, finally, the piece you're probably loving the most- Primark's version of the Mulberry Alexa bag! I nearly died when I saw this, it's gorgeous! It cost only £9, is big enough for my Macbook and magazines and, well, it saves me the £800 cost for the real thing!

Have you bought anything fab in Primark lately?

Natural Collection haul.

What counts as a haul? 3 items? Well, you'll have to make do because I am super broke and technically spent my bread/milk/orange juice fund on some cosmetic treats (like you've never done that!)

I went into Boots to get a prescription and planned on buying a lipstick from the Natural Collection range after hearing good things about them. At £1.99, I couldn't resist. And then I saw the Natural Collection tinted moisturiser and, again, at under £2 I kind of had to. Luckily for me, they were on 3 for 2 so I also picked up the lash conditioner and will be trying it out over the next week or two every night to see if I think it makes a difference.

All in all, for under £4 for 3 items, I reckon I got a bargain! The tinted moisturiser went on my hands and forehead beautifully and leaves a radiant shine- I picked up the natural shade and may well pick up some of the other shades too at the weekend. The lipstick is a sheer natural lip colour in shade honeysuckle and I'll be trying this out tomorrow.

Have you ever bought any Natural Collection products? What did you think?
