Shopping Haul!


Hello, I'm back and today with a haul. I went to Westfield Stratford recently and thought I'd share what I bought with you. I'll link everything (well everything I can). I didn't buy everything I'm including as some was bought for me by my mum, however we spent the same amount on the things bought for me.
I did try to attach images of what everything looked like but unfortunately it messed up the layout and put random spaces between lines.

Stradivarius

I'm starting with my all time favourite shop, just like I began the day. We did go to Stradivarius twice just because the three of us love it so much. I find that everything from here is always so affordable and is such great quality.

The first item is a bomber jacket which I got in navy blue. When I saw this online, I need immediately I was going to buy it. I have wanted a bomber jacket for a very long time but have always found that ones in other high street stores have been around the £40 mark which I personally see as too expensive. So when I saw this one for only £25.99, I was so happy!

Another thing I bought myself was a pair of sunglasses. I desperately needed a new pair of sunglasses and couldn't find a pair I liked but also fitted my face. The ones a picked up were only £9.99 and they came with a free fabric case.
I also got a simple stripped tee. This was also £9.99 and is the softest top I have probably ever bought! I love all my tee's from Stradivarius and find they always stay such a lovely quality! I picked this up in the red, white and blue one that comes up with this link.

The final item I got was a pair of snake skin slip on shoes. These were to replace the ones I got last year that was so so worn out because I got so much wear out of them. They seem to go with every outfit and they are so worth the money for just £19.99.




Bershka

This is a shop that I had only been in for the first time the day I went to shopping. The type of clothing in this store is very similar to Stradivarius so I was in love!! The style in Bershka is just up my street but I resisted and only picked up two items!
The first of the two was a cropped high neck top with the slogan "Boyfriend? What's that? Food?" I so this and needed I knew it. It is just so relatable and for only £5.99 I wasn't leaving it behind!
I also got another top which was slightly cropped with lace along the bottom and is off the shoulder. It has a ruffle type thing at the top. This was only £7.99 and I am totally in love with it. I got this in black as I thought it looked nicest in this colour.

Forever 21
The Forever 21 at Stratford is either shutting down or just being renovated but either way, everything in the store had 50% off! I did want a lot of things from here but because of the situation, there wasn't much new stock so I couldn't get what I wanted.
The only thing I picked up was surprise surprise, a tee! It is only simple once again but when does anyone ever have enough tee's? It is just a cream and rust top that I know I will get so much wear out off. It is £9 on the website and I snatched it for just £4.50

H&M

Nothing was really grabbing me in H&M until the Coachella collection! This year there was so many elephant themed items and I was in heaven! I tried on three items but only walked away with one!
I ended up with an off the shoulder cream dress which was only £12.99. I had to get this in a size 8 which is a size larger than I buy in every other shop but it came up very short and also very tight round the shoulders so bear that in mind if you are to get this dress or any in the same style. The dress is cream with a red pattern across it and a row of elephants at the bottom. It is a really light material and is going to be perfect for my holidays abroad this year!

Primark

From Primark I picked up a few bits but due to the website being chaotic in my eyes I won't be able to leave a link to what a got. But I always find I never find anything people include in hauls in Primark anyway.

I started with a cream long, sheer blouse/shirt that I got to go over the top of an elephant bandeau that I recently got from Forever 21. This was only £3 and to be honest, I only got it as it was the first I has seen all day that was kind of what I wanted.

Also for £3, I got a crew neck tee with elephants on. I saw this and as my sister described "you are literally drawn to anything with elephants on". This will just be a nice everyday top and is perfect for mild weather.

I also got my first pair of holiday pajama's which are just a vest with a unicorn on with shorts covered in sprinkles. They were only £4 and Primark is just the best place to pick up pajama's.  

The final thing I got was just a pack of three PowerPuff Girls shoe liners. They were only £2.50 and it is always good to relive your childhood haha.


Tiger

This is just my favourite bits and bobs shop. It sells literally everything from candles, to glasses, to chargers to art supplies. I can never walk past one without going in.

On this day, my mum bought me and elephant teddy that she has been promising me for months and months. It was only £7 but when can a teenage girl ever have enough teddies?! This isn't actually on the website unfortunately and I'm aware that not all stores stock it.


I really hope you enjoyed having a little read of my purchases, it doesn't seem like I bought much but I now can't afford to buy anything for a few months! Thank you for reading, follow my links left down below!

General Update

Hello if you're reading this, I don't know if there will be anyone but based on my last post getting views I'm assuming there is at least someone.

There isn't really anything about this post but I just wanted to come and say hi and felt like blogging so here I am. I have changed this blog so that it is in my name instead of 'Beauty with Tee' as I want to start writing about other topics besides beauty.

Also, I have updated my youtube channel so that there is now channel art and an icon but still no videos. Having a channel is something I've wanted to do for ages but I have just never had the confidence so maybe my channel looking put together will motivate me. I'm scared about what people will think but sometimes you have to just do things for yourself and forget about other people. Wow that sounded self-centered, need to work on wording still quite clearly.

Anyway, that's it for today, woah so long haha. I'll probably be back soon but there is no point me saying for definite I will be when I most likely will not be back for ages.

Bath Essentials

Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a good day! Today, I will be sharing with you my bath essentials/the products I like to use whilst having a bath. I will link all the products below so that you can check them out for yourself!


 
 
 
The first product I use is 'Zoella Soak Opera'. This not only smells amazing but also creates a lot of bubbles without having to use a lot of the product. I find the smell doesn't transfer to your skin which is quite disappointing but you could always follow up this product with the original body lotion from the same collection. Sometimes, I use a Lush Cosmetics bath bomb instead of bubble bath but that isn't very occasional.






Next, I use the 'Quick Fix Facials Exfoliating Scrub Mask'. My skin is really bad when it comes to blocked pores and anything I use takes a few uses to work. On the third use, this has already showed signs of improving my skin which is really good especially for an inexpensive drug store mask. I don't leave it on for very long and it still works as well as when I leave masks on for long periods.






I will then go on to washing my hair, I never really stick to one line/range of shampoo and conditioner but this time I used 'Umberto Giannini Pure Beauty' shampoo and conditioner. This is in the Beauty Secrets range and I received it for Christmas in a box along with the Beauty Balm and Moisture Mask. To be honest, this shampoo did no wonders to my hair but it is always nice to try out new products.
 
Sticking with hair, on this occasion I used 'Umberto Giannini Beauty Secrets Moisture Balm'. This was the first time I had properly used a hair mask and if I'm honest, this one did not leave a lasting impression. It may be because I didn't blow dry my hair but it left my hair feeling like it still had product in it.














I then wash my face with the 'Olay Refreshing Facial Cleansing Gel'. This is only a light facial wash but I have a much deeper skincare routine where I use harsher products. I find that my skin gets used to any product extremely quickly and the effects stop showing. However when I first started using this it really helped get rid of an prevent red spots and white heads. It didn't help with my black head problem but I didn't expect it to as there are no scrub aspects to it.
 
 
 

The last product I use is the 'Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub'. I received this for Christmas after wanting to see what the hype was over. I love the smell of this product but the results weren't that outstanding. Personally I prefer body scrubs from Body Shop but this is still okay for weekly use.
Thank you for reading, find all mentioned products down below. Comment below and share around with your friends♡.
