Primark Haul!

It has been a while since my last Primark / Penneys haul. However, over the past month or so I have bought a good few things in Primark so here is what I have been parting my cash for!

Bags, bags bags and even more bags. I can't believe I actually bought so many this month, but they should last me ages. (I hope so anyway...) Before I went on holiday I wanted to buy small bags I could easily fit into my suitcase and had a long strap so it could go over me. I knew I was going to a theme park and to Barcelona so I wanted to keep my items in my bag secure. Both were around €6/€7.

The most expensive item I picked up was my new suitcase. It was only €24 which is really good value for a suitcase. It also fits perfectly into the bloody Ryanair cage that they put your hand luggage into. I love the design it's simple yet pretty.

While I was supervising the exams I needed to carry around an A4 sized folder so I needed a bag big enough to hold it. I picked up a great bargain. A lovely turquoise blue bag reduced from €13 to €5. This bag is amazing it's like a Mary Poppins's bag as it holds SO much! I still can't believe how much I can fit in it!

I got yet ANOTHER bag the other day when I decided I needed a medium sized back for when I went on a night out. A bag big enough to hold all my make up and a pair of flats for when my feet got too sore. I picked up this lovely bag for €9. It's simple and would go with a lot of outfits and colours.

I love to add a few hair accessories to my hair so I picked up this green flower for €1.50. It can also be used as a broach .

Finally my lovely boyfriend's Mam picked me up these fab leopard print flats. They were a fantastic bargain only €1 reduced from €6. I was chuffed with them!

So that is what I have been buying in Primark lately. Hopefully for my wallets sake I won't go too mad next month.

Haull! Primark, Dunnes Stores and a Charity Shop!

I'm supposed to be saving at the moment but here are a few items I bought during the week. After this I'm on a total spending ban! Apart from the boots they weren't expensive buys....

I have no heels at the moment as I have wrecked all my other shoes so I really needed something to wear on a night out. These boots are sooo comfortable as they have a really big heel. I bought them in Dunnes Stores for €30 and love them!

Black belt €3 from Penneys / Primark. I love to belt in my clothes at the waist. Penney do great belts for very cheap.

I'm not too sure about this buy. It matches my hair perfectly and was only €1.50. I'm not too sure how to wear it though so any suggestions would be welcomed!

My favourite make up wipes they are great for €1.50!

This was only 50 cent in a Charity Shop. I have become obsessed with quick drying my nails lately, so I can't wait to try this out!

I also picked up this book in the Charity Shop for €1. It has some amazing pictures in it witch I plan to take out and stick up in my bedroom.

Some of the pictures from inside the book!


So that's my haul! I hope you like though!

Umberto Giannini Hair Products

Umberto Giannini 'Backcomb in  Bottle' is a product that caught my eye a few months ago. I read loads of reviews in magazines and had to get it! I picked it up while boots were doing a 3 for 2 offer on hair products. I also picked up 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Ditch The Dirt Volume Shampoo' and 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Grunge Glamour Tousled Salt Spray' each product was about €8 but with the 3 for 2 it worked out much cheaper. All products have amazing packaging which I adore. They look very pretty in my bedroom and Bathroom!

First up is Umberto Giannini 'Backcomb in  Bottle'. There is many mixed reviews on Blogs about this product, however, I have to say I LOVE this product. After many trials and errors I have found the best way to use this product for me is give it a good shake, turn your head upside down, spray , and then rub in quickly with your hands! It gives my hair amazing texture and 'poofs' it up. I'm not sure that's it's as good as backcombing but I love the effect of it. A quick blast of hairspray will make it last for the day. I will definitely buy this again!

Next I bought 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Grunge Glamour Tousled Salt Spray'. I have a body wave in my hair at the moment to give it a bit of volume. My ridiculously straight hair however is nearly back straight but when I spray this on my hair I do get some waves. When the product ran out I simply filled it with salt and water and got the same results! As a result I will not be repurchasing and would recommend for you to try salt water in a spray bottle before you purchase this!

Lastly I picked up 'Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Ditch The Dirt Volume Shampoo'. I had such high hopes for this shampoo and unfortunately it did nothing for my hair at all! (Well it made it have a horrible texture but volume wise it did NOTHING!) It's such a shame as I really really wanted to love this shampoo! 

The reviews for all these products differ greatly to each person reviewing them. Some people love them others hate them. What I would recommend is that you buy travel sizes of these products (which are much cheaper) to begin with and if you do like the product buy the full size. I think at €8 it's a lot of money for a full size bottle that you might not like!

Penneys/Primark Haul!

I was in Penneys/Primark while in Dublin and picked up a few bits and pieces. Here is what I picked up... :)

First up I picked up the Penneys version of The Tangle Teezer for the bargain price of €1.50. I recently got a body wave put into my hair so this is perfect for me. I use it on wet hair and it removes all tangles that have built up. The Tangle Teezer got all my tangles out without much hassle. It was also less harsh than brushing.

A sliver hair clip also caught my eye. It's a sliver hairclip for €3 with flower and leaf design with 'diamonds' :) 

Essence nail varnish also found its way into my basket. I picked up two glitter shades €1.29 each and a top coat €2.29.

                                          

I absolutely love the two glitter nail varnihes. They seem to have a more jewell like effect rather than glitter. It takes a few coats but looks fantastic! It looks so much better in real life than in photos but hopefully you will get an idea of what it looks like ! :)

 

 

Finally I also purchased a lovely silk like scarf for €1!

As always bargains in Penneys! :)
