Massive Haul: Topshop, H&M, New Look and Primark

Sawasdee ka~
Say hi to a massive haul once again. My latest cloth haul would be about 3 months ago so this is the perfect time to post about my newbies to my wardrobe again. Shopping is some kind of stress therapy for me as in the past month I was pretty freak out with my never ending lab work so spending some money on something I like actually help me feel a little bit better. I also love sharing with you my latest purchases so here’s my most recent offering from Topshop, Primark, H&M and New Look.

❤︎ H&M
Red lip shoulder bag £14.99 : I have been collection anything in lips shape for a while and when I saw this red lip bag/clutch I just can't resist
Fashion freak earrings £4.99 : If you let me choose to wear only one accessory I would rather prefer earring. And look at the design I just love that hanging text bit.
Short jersey top £6.99 : Croptop is one of my staple items so why not have more? I like fabric material that is not too thin and not too thick and those cutie text screenings.

 ❤︎ Primark
Flower headband £3.99: I'm still not over with the flower headband lol although I'm not sure whether I still have a chance to wear it this year with unpredictable UK weather but I'm sure I still can keep it until next year when summer say hello again
Sport bra £5 : Healthy living is something I'm trying to do now. I've been starting to do work out in the past few months and the most important item for exercising is a proper sport bra. Can't believe how cheap is it compare with the quality I get 
Dungarees £10 and £14: dungarees trend always make me think about my childhood. Back in primary school I remember wearing it pretty often and once it hit this year trend I just can't help buy myself few dungarees. I think Primark make a decent one with areasonable price. The minty green one is pretty colour and did you notice that the one on the left has mickey mouse head screen all over. How adorable it is?
❤︎ New Look
Black cap £6 : because I can't decide which cap should I get so I just bought 2 in one go (crazy me) and with more than 50%off (original price£12.99) I think it worth it.

❤︎ Topshop
Dress £20 : I got these 2 dresses during Topshop Sale. They both are cute little bodycon dress that can compliment your figure really well. I like the fabric and cut out detail. If you can remember I wore the blue dress in my OOTD post last week.
Sunglasses £16 : I bought this sunglasses just because I want it to match my blue dress so the sunglasses also feature in the OOTD post last week as well. It's actually not the shape of sunglasses  I normally wear but surprisingly it looks good. Maybe because that candy blue tone that help compliment everything.

Have you picked up anything from the sale recently?
Mwahhh

SWATCHES & REVIEW : My Lipstick Collection [M.A.C.]

Sawasdee ka~
You can’t say you are a lipstick lover if you don’t own any lipstick from MAC. I guess all lipstick lovers must own at least one MAC lipstick. So my second post of this series will be swatches from MAC.

I remember bought my first ever MAC lipstick about 4 years ago and since then I keep going back there for lipstick. It’s a shame that MAC keeps increasing their price all the time and sale assistant is one of the problems too I’m pretty sure most people experience lack of attention from sale assistant before so I will not talk in detail about it (feel free to share your experience though).  So most of the time, I will go the counter to get some swatches and order them online.

Right stop complaining for now. I will start with mini review here then. Like I mention before about the price, one lipstick will cost from £15.50 to £20 so they are more of a mid-highend price. There are many choice of finishes and colours. I’m sure you will never get bored of swatching them. I actually quite like the packaging, black study little bullet-like with a flat bottom and rounded head. If you keep lipstick upside down like me you might struggle a little bit but that is not the end of the world.

I’m currently own 14 MAC lipsticks. I got 2 of the same colour so there will be only 13 swatches in this post (I will talk about liquid lipstick and lip liner in a separate post). So let’s talk about each lipstick finishes first. Matte yes it’s matte finish but not too drying or cling on your lips  and it has excellent stay power. Retro Matte is pretty similar to matte but the formula is bit more drying on the lips. Satin is my favourite finish this one also similar to matte but with a bit of sheen added to the formula. Amplified is another version of satin with a bit more sheen in it. Cremesheen just like the name it’s creamy finish, the stay power is not so great it would last about a couple of hours. Frost my least favourite formula it’s very shimmery and it doesn’t go well with my lips. Glaze the sheerest MAC lipstick formula that give natural finish while looking glossy. Sheen Suprememe is kind of lipstick/lipgloss hybrid and very moisturising I found that it’s pretty hard to apply straight to the lips as it’s very creamy so lip brush might be needed. Mineralize rich this formula comprised of many different minerals very rich and creamy I think it’s creamier than cremesheen but not as creamy as sheen supreme.
* Limited Edition
My favourite of all the shades I own would be Viva Glam Nikki I love it that much so I bought 2 when it's still available

Which one is you favourite? Any recommendation which colour I should get?
