Haul - Lush, Gap, Clarisonic & etc

Lush Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar. I've never tried this one before but I have tried 3 other Lush Shampoo Bars that I love so I thought I might give this one a try too, especially because I do have oily hair but I don't want something that will absolutely strip my hair and make it dry. 

I got my Mum a Clarisonic Mia for Mother's Day and it came with a free gift and my Mum said she didn't need it so she'll give it to me haha. So it just came with a Clarisonic Makeup Bag and a Deep Pore Cleansing brush head. 

Miss Shop White Singlet to wear underneath clothes. 

Country Road Sweater. I absolutely love this jumper because the front is wool but the arms and back are cotton so it's not too itchy or anything and it just mixes the two different textures, I love it! 

So I went to Gap for the first time and I absolutely love it! Their jeans are amazing and it's so comfortable and works really well!

They had these flats on sale at Gap and they're so comfortable! They fold and can be put in a cute little pouch that they came in so they're fantastic for travel as well or to throw in your handbag if you are wearing heels and want to have a break after or something. 

These flats from Gap are the same concept as above.

These jeans from Gap are legging jeans and they are sooooo comfortable! They're also really warm for legging jeans which I love and they just look really flattering but are comfortable at the same time!

I also got from Gap a pair of coloured jeans, these are the skinny jean fit. I absolutely love the colour, it's a really nice pastel lavender colour. I also got a size up from what would fit my body in the most flattering way because they didn't have it in this colour and the other size, even though it was flattering on my body, it felt a little tight and I'm not a big fan of that, so this size looks fine on me and is still flattering but isn't that skinny fit. 

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Eggplant Aubergine. This colour is absolutely gorgeous, I looooove it! It's a really fun pop of colour but looks softer than basic black gel liner. 

I freaked out when I discovered that T2 now have biscuits! I bought the Sencha Quince flavour and I love them! Honestly, they are quite expensive for only around 15 biscuits that have a diameter of around an inch/3-4 cm. But they do taste ahh-mazing and also has a really nice fresh after taste that I love. They taste quite buttery being shortbread but they're not mega sweet which I really like. 

Lastly, I just got these new iPod speakers from Logitech because the speakers in my bathroom are starting to break as I've had those speakers for longer than 5 years. 

Mini Haul

I always feel bad when I have the same type of post back to back, although people always vote for hauls in the polls so I feel I might just do them.
Another thing, this is a little off topic, but do you prefer tutorials as videos or just writing step by step with one final picture or a picture for each step?
I just haven't really been getting much feedback with my tutorials that have been videos. I'm not sure whether it's because people just haven't been checking out my blog as much or they prefer the other format.


Anyway, to the haul. This one is really small, which kind of balances out with the mega long vacation haul, but I got a few things that I'm pretty excited about. 

Skin 79 Super + Beblesh Balm Triple Functions I've heard a lot about BB Creams but I haven't really looked into them, I always just assumed they were pretty similar to tinted moisturisers and I definitely don't need any more of those. I know, I shouldn't be so close minded. Anyway, recently I saw Jen from frmheadtotoe do a video about how she applies BB Cream and it showed me how amazing it is! It is seriously so natural, it looks even better than the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, it also is extremely buildable, she even layered it kind of like a concealer for blemishes and under the eyes. At first, I was worried it might be too grey or light for my skin, but I tried it in the store and it was amazing! It does take a few minutes to oxidise though. Overall, I am so excited to use this and I think it's awesome for everyday to school, as it doesn't actually look like you're wearing foundation or anything and it just looks so natural and feels so light, I'm amazed!

Kit Body Wash: Fresh Pear, Crisp Apple & Vanilla I've always loved Kit Cosmetics' scents, I already have tons of stuff from the Pomegranate and Pink Grapefruit line. This body wash smells fantastic and I can't wait to use it. 

T2 Green Rose Tea If you saw from a while ago, I have a pretty epic tea obsession, whenever I walk into the store T2, I instantly feel calm. The mood is amazing with dimmed light, yummy tea samples and super nice store clerks. I felt like trying a new tea that wasn't as sweet or stimulating as the Turkish Apple & Cinnamon and the Lemongrass & Ginger one's that I bought a while ago. This Green Rose tea smelt sooooo good and I love both Green Tea and Rose Tea separately, so why not combine them? If anyone gets a chance to visit T2, I recommend you take a leap into this store, even if you're a total tea noob, I'm sure the store clerks will be more than happy to help you, they're always so nice, oh and I've noticed that the guys that work there are good looking, and nice!


And that is all, I hope you enjoyed that mini haul. Thank-you for reading and I'll see you soon!
Oh and also, any requests? Just comment.

Haul 9.12.11

This haul seriously lacks in beauty products, but I bought a few things that I'm seriously so excited about. Here we go:

Country Road Bag

First I finally got THE bag, I love this one soooo much more than the Wittner one I showed a couple months ago. It's the perfect shape for me, I love square bags because I personally find that they're more practically, e.g. I don't hit everyone in crowded stores lol. It also has a long strap and it has very soft and thin leather. The leather of the Wittner bag was really thick and therefore meant that it wasn't as roomy. This bag looks cute and small but it actually fits tons of stuff which is good. I love it so much!

Incase Laptop case
This is not beauty related, but I warned you, haha. I am actually seriously excited about this case, and my Mum was sooooo stoked when we were in the Apple store. It has so many brilliant features! It fits a 13' Macbook Pro snugly, it has awesome green fur lining inside. It also has handles that can be hidden inside the case, a big pocket on the back with velcro closure and on the front are two smaller pockets of zipper closure. I know it's not the most glamourous thing in the world, but it's light and extremely handy.

Zumba Wii Game w/ Zumba fitness belt
I get bored so easily, especially with exercising. At one time I was jogging, then cycling then these workouts on the iPhone, but then I remembered when I did Zumba at Relay for Life (a charity marathon I participated in with my school) and I thought it was sooooo much fun and an awesome way to exercise, so I thought I might try the Wii game, and I love it! It's so much fun!

MAC Brush Cleanser
Just stocking up because I've almost finished my 1st one. 

Nivea Sun Protect lip balm
Nivea Pure & Natural, Milk & Honey lip balm
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes
Just stocking up on more necessities. 

Pillow Pet Panda
I named it PandeeA, inspired by Luke & Ingrid from YouTube (lukeconard & missglamorazzi). It's a long story, but both of them and their other YouTube friends started getting into Pillow Pets in their vlogs. It's kind of an inside joke, but anyway, I already have a pillow pet that is a killer whale called Douglas. (:

T2 
The Jug 1.2 Litre
Lemongrass & Ginger tea
Turkish Apple & Cinnamon
I've been getting into Iced Tea soooo much now! It's such a refreshing and yummy drink especially in the summer, and I know I'm going to get hooked, so I wanted to try making my own (:

Thanks so much for reading!

Stay happy everyone!
