Topshop Haul

Hi everyone,

So this is my very first Haul! I don't know how many items it needs to be to be classed as a Haul, but anyway these are just a few things I've purchased online on Topshop in the past few days.

So my main reason for getting these items was because I'd been planning on buying the Topshop Mom Jeans. Now I know what your thinking ... I'm just following the hype - but actually I have an acid wash pair that I wear ALOT and I just fancied having them in black aswell, purely to allow me to wear more colours and to go with some items that I already have in my wardrobe. I also think they are so comfortable and for me that is the most important thing as I hate wearing tight things - everything has to be oversized!
 
 
 
So I purchased the plain black pair (not the acid wash black as I wanted them to look a bit smarter this time) and realised I could get free delivery if I spent £50 and as the jeans were £40, I thought I would make up the difference as Topshop delivery is £4! (a little bit expensive if you ask me!) I also get 10% off being a student so that was even more items to put into my basket! So I decided on a few beauty items as I was so impressed with their lipstick I tried (read about that here) so I went for the Glow Highlighter in Gleam which is a gorgeous gold colour. I have used highlighters before but I have never found one that I really love and look forward to putting on so I hope this will fit the bill!
 
 
 
On first impressions the colour of this is slightly bronze rather than gold but it does give a lovely bit of colour to an incredibly pale English Rose! I would probably say this product would be better for a darker skin tone, but if you are paler like me it still works to give a bit of shimmer and colour if blended in correctly. The consitency surprised me aswell - it's very creamy whereas I thought it would be a bit thicker and harder to apply but it is so creamy it does just blend in pretty much straight away - which is good when you are always in a rush like me :) At £9 it is pretty expensive, but it looks like it will last for quite a while and I think will work throughout winter and through the spring and summer months too.

The next product was this gorgeous nail varnish in 'Rumours and Lies' which is a gorgeous dark berry colour and is a perfect introduction to autumn as it is such a lovely colour. I love Topshop nail varnishes as they are quite thick but not gloopy and at £5 they are much cheaper than some of the higher end products (that personally I don't even like as much!)
 
 
Finally I chose this gorgeous eye colour duo in the shade 'Woodland Walk' and that basically sums up this colour perfectly. It is a mixture of bronze and a dark brown; colours which I haven't ever used, so I thought this would be a perfect start into the realm of bronzey eye shadow shades!
 
 
 
 
I think these colours will be perfect for autumn and at £6 I don't think it's a bad price for two colours which are very pigmented and beautiful.
 
Thanks for reading and I hope you like the products - let me know if you have tried any of them or similar ones as I would love to hear your opinions! I will leave the links for the products below too. Again I am swamped with uni work at the moment so I couldn't put any swatches or images of me wearing the products but I hope it was informative anyway!
 
Love
