HAUL!

Hello everyone,
sorry I haven't done a post in a couple of weeks, I really wanted to get one done last week, but for various reasons I couldn't get one done. 
I haven't ever done a haul post before, but because they are one of my favourite things to read/watch on YouTube I thought I would do one! 
This is most of the things that I have bought over the past couple of weeks- don't worry I haven't bought it all in one day!
Sigma F82 brush- I have been wanting this for so long, and I was going to order it when I bought my Sigma Cleansing and Polishing tool last month but I completely forgot to add it to my order until it was too late! I ordered it from an on line shop called Love Makeup. I would really recommend recommend them, the delivery was super fast and I had no problems with them!
Soap & Glory thick and fast mascara- I got this free with ELLE magazine a couple of weeks ago. I have used it every day since and I love it! I would definitely recommend it and I will be buying it again!
Rimmel wake me up foundation- after receiving a couple of testers of this in magazines (I think they were in ELLE and Company) I decided that I really wanted to buy it! I only bought it last night  but I used it this morning with my Sigma F82 brush and  really like it! Oh and it's only £5.99 in Tesco and Boots at the moment!
The Body Shop moisture foundation- I know it is probably unnecessary to buy two foundations in one month but after seeing some good reviews about it I decided to buy it. I have used if for probably 10ish days now. It's alright and I really like how it has SPF15, but I find that the consistency is too runny for my taste. Also because I ordered it online the colour is slightly light for me, but I have tried mixing it with some slightly darker foundations which I have and it makes it look a lot better.
Tangle Teezer- I have been wanting one of these for probably 6 months now, but for some reason I kept on putting it off because to be honest I didn't really need another hair brush. I'm going to be honest and say I like it, but I probably could of done without it. My hair isn't especially knotty and I find that the size of it is quite awkward to hold (I don't have small hands either). Also on the leaflet that came with it is said that you can use it in the shower, but when I did it got loads of water in it which I couldn't get out for weeks, so every time I used it water would come out onto my hair making it look greasy. Not good.
F&F shoes- this is quite off topic because everything else is beauty related, but I bought these last night from Tesco. I got them because I needed another pair of school shoes and they were only a tenner! I'm not sure how much I like them yet but I have been wearing them about the house this morning and they are really comfortable. I would say though that if you were going to buy them definitely try them on first because I am usually a size 6/7 and I had to get them in a 5!
Herbal essences hair masks and split end protection cream- I have used the hair mask and the cream in my hair religiously for probably 3-4 months now, and when I saw they were half price I thought I would buy some back ups! I already have some spare but because they were only £2 each I thought it would be rude not to!
No7 hot cloth cleanser- I was going to buy the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser because I have seen so many people saying how great it was, but then I saw some people saying that they liked the No7 one just as much, and I had an No7 voucher that needed using up I thought I may as well buy it! I really like it and I have been using it every night before using my Sigma cleansing and polishing tool and it makes my skin feel really soft and lovely. I will be buying this again and I really recommend it!
John Frieda serum, night serum and 3-day straight- The serum is a repurchase because my other one had run out. I bought the night serum and the 3-day straight a couple of weeks ago in Boots when they were on 2 for £7.50. I really like the night serum and I use it on the ends of my hair probably every 10 days or so and it really helps the ends of my hair to look healthier when I wake up in the morning. The 3-day straight is another thing which I have been wanting for a while so I thought I would get it when I got the night serum in the offer. I haven't used it yet because as part of my day zero list I am trying to not use any heat whatsoever on my hair for an entire month (by tomorrow I will of done a whole month!) so I am really looking forward to using it sometime soon!
Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream- this was the best bargain and the thing that I was most excited about out of all of the things which I bought. I have been wanting this for ages and when I saw that it was reduced from £21 down to £6 in Boots I couldn't believe it! I was lucky to find it though because when my mum went the day after to get one they had all sold out! I really like to use it on my lips and I had a small cut on my finger and I dabbed a bit on it and it was so much better in the morning when I woke up! If you are thinking about buying this I would really recommend it because I know it will last a really long time and it is such a good all in one product!


By the way what do you think of a white background for my photos? It's just a piece of card but I really like it and I think it makes my images look much more professional!


Thankyou for reading this and have a lovely day
