New purchases

Hey guys,

So its summer which means shopping for summer clothes! So I bought these things over three different shopping trips. I did buy a few other items of clothing but they were just lounge around things. So here are some of my recent purchases.

This is such a bad picture, sorry, but I really like this small handbag. I  bought it from Primark for only £8! I think it's a really good size because I can fit my phone, purse, a bottle of water and any other things like a small jumper. I honestly think it's like Mary Poppins' bag because you can it a lot more than what you would think.
 

 
Next is makeup brushes. I've only recently started wearing makeup. I have worn just mascara for quite a while, but I mean concealer and eye shadow. I'm not the kind of person who spends a lot of money on makeup, I personally go for good quality but as cheap as possible.
So on the right is the Real Techniques expert face brush. I use this for concealer, I really love this brush because it's so soft and really helps conceals spots and blemishes.
The other three brushes are just cheap eye shadow brushes from h&m. I quite like these because  they're quite soft and they do their job. They aren't the best brushes but I like them for their price. The two black ones were £1.99 each and the white one was £2.99. So nice and cheap!
 
 
 
Eye shadow palettes! So I have only just started using eye shadow, and only recently on special occasions or when I want to look nice for something. I like going for quite smoky, nude colours, I'm not very exploring with makeup if I was honest!
On the left is the undressed palette from MUA. This was only £4 and I absolutely love the colours! I personally think they're quite good quality.
On the right is a H&M palette. I bought this palette because 1. it was reduced 2. I love some of the colours. There are some bright colours but I thought it would be nice to have a few different shades to explore with. The bright blue is a bit cracked, that's why it was reduced, so it was only £3! I think it was normally £8.


Next is kimonos! I love kimonos so much because they look really pretty and summery. You can wear them with basically anything; jeans, shorts, skirts, leggings, dresses, etc.
I am in love with the one on the left. I bought it from New Look for £19.99, but it goes with a lot and its so pretty.
I bought the one on the left for my holiday to Devon. I cant remember exactly how much it was, but it was around £10 from H&M
 

 
These are a few beauty related items that I bought and love.
On the left is the collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 3, I bought this from boots for £4.19, and I love it! I suffer from quite bad spots sometimes, and it conceals them really well, also my face can be quite red in some patches, it just makes my skin look clearer and blemish-free!
In the middle are two nail varnishes I bought, the top one is Barry M - black, for £2.99 from boots. The bottom one is Maybelline gel nail in mint for life. I love this colour and it stays on for near enough to seven days. It was £4.50 from Superdrug.
On the right is my miracle. I use this every morning and evening, and I have seen a significant change in my skin since I've been using it. I hardly have any spots. It was £5 from the body shop, which is cheap for a miracle!

 
The top on the left was around £4 from H&M, I like  it because it's quite comfortable.
The floral top is from forever 21 for £11.50, I think this top is so pretty, I love it.

 
I am in love with these floral shorts! It's quite hard to find things that go with it because I only have white tops out of those colours, but they are so comfortable and pretty. These are from forever 21 for around £10.

 
Thank you for reading, I'm really sorry for the poor quality pictures. I have to use my iPhone which is really good quality but its not the best, hopefully I'm getting a new camera for my birthday, which is so exciting! I hoped you liked my purchases, sorry I wasn't very accurate with the prices.

Love Carmen xox
