My Shopping Haul at Westfield...

Hi, this is going to be a shopping haul that I did in Westfield on Monday (huge London shopping centre) because it was the first time I've been there and I haven't done one in a while and I love doing them! I hope you like these sort of posts as well. Anyway, let's get on with the post!
 
 
I went to a lot of shops but the ones I actually bought stuff from were WHSmith's, Primark, The Perfume Shop, Boots and Superdry.
 
 
First of all, I went to WH Smith's mainly to get school stuff really. I know it's not interesting so I'm not gonna spend loads of time over each of the stationary I got but I got a clear pencil case for exams, a new sharpener, a geometry set (uugh!), highlighters, some magnetic bookmarks because the GCSE course we are doing in English next year involves reading 3 books and finally some post-it notes for revision or something like that! I also found it cool that the post it notes could go in my binder and that the bookmarks matched my binder, which I will go onto now! ...

 
... I had to buy a binder for English because if you didn't know already, in England the government have made all the grading different which means that the English and Maths GCSE courses next year are going to change... and they are going to be harder! Yay! Note my sarcasm. ;) But anyway...

 
The next thing I got was The Pointless Book 2 by Alfie Deyes (aka Pointlessblog)! I never actually got the first Pointless Book :( but this one looks really fun and random and, well, pointless really! I can't wait to start doing some of the activities in it! I wanted all of the YouTuber books on the shelves (they had nearly a whole section on books by different YouTubers!) but of course I don't have enough money to get every single thing I want so I'm happy with what I got. <3

 
I kept on going into different stores to find Little Mix's debut perfume Gold Magic (which smells absolutely amazing!) and I ended up finding it in Boots but then I saw this perfume, which is One Direction's latest perfume Between Us and I was so torn because I liked them both and I couldn't exactly buy both because that would just be waaay too expensive! In the end, I bought this perfume but not from Boots, from The Perfume Shop! But I am going to have to put Gold Magic on my Christmas list because I really love it! Hopefully, I can wait that long and if I get it, I will enjoy it even more than if I got it on Monday!
 
 
This was what I did end up getting from Boots! I did go in for just a mascara... but as you can see I ended up with more than that... :) I looked at the Sleek MakeUp section first (because I love Sleek MakeUp ever since one of my friends gave me two of their products for my birthday!) and I liked the look of the Limited Nautical Collection Edition Blush By 3 Palette. It looks so cool! And the shades on the palette are great.
 
Next to the Sleek MakeUp counter, there was a Collection one and you should by now (unless you're new, sorry!) know that I use a lot of Collection products! I saw Collection's Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencil. There were three shades, this one which is quite a pale, neutral shade called Vanilla Sky (love the name!). Then the other two, I don't know the names of, but one was pink-ish and the other was black. Then after an hour of looking at makeup, I finally found a new mascara by Rimmel London called Waterproof Wonder'Full Mascara with argan oil which sounded quite posh really!
 
 
Next I went to Primark because every shopping trip I do seems to never be complete until I've been to Primark! The first few things I picked up were some pretty hairbands that I could wear to school as well as outside school. I thought that you definitely can't go wrong with hairbands because you can just so easily throw them in and make your hair look better. I also got some scrunchies because I can then put my hair up in top-knots and ponytails. Then I got some clip thingys (you know what I mean!) so I could do a nice sort of half-up, half-down hairstyle. I am so great at describing. Cough-NOT-cough!
 
 
Then I got yet another shirt!!! I don't know why I suddenly got excited then... Anyway, there was like a whole section just full of different colours, checks and style shirts which was so cool. In the end, I bought this one because the colour matches a lot of clothes I have. The material is really different to my other shirts' material because it is thicker so I could wear it in winter as a normal top and just tie around my waist the rest of the year!
 
 
I also picked up this set of clothes hangers and the next thing while I was in the queue (it was a MASSIVE queue - bigger than Primark queues usually are - which is saying something!) just because I have got too many clothes (no wait, you can never have too many). Can I just say that the main reason that I have LOADS of clothes is because I have not actually grown out of hardly any of them, even if they are from when I was in year 7. I honestly haven't grown much at all since then and I've stopped growing completely for a year now! Although... I have been told that I keep buying clothes...
 
 
The last thing I picked up in Primark was this 5SOS bag - love it! I was thinking I wanted it as my sports kit bag but then my Mum warned me that my trainers and stuff would probably fall out - now that idea's abandoned -  and I'm going to use it as my new Catering bag so I can bring ingredients into school.
 
 
The last place I went to was Superdry!!! Now, I love Superdry but I have never actually bought something from there until now because it is expensive and I tend to buy a lot of things rather than expensive things.  So I got a Superdry backpack which I love because it is purple and the details like zips and label are in sliver glitter. So nice.
 
That was all for this post, I hope you liked it and to my friend who really wanted me to do this post - you better've liked it! Haha, just kidding but she actually did tell me to do a post on my shopping haul! I am hoping to do a post about my holiday in Derbyshire but I haven't got all the photos sorted out yet - I will get back to you on that one... Post soon xx
**I had to go into school this morning to collect my results from my English IGCSE and I'm really happy with my grade! Just got to keep doing well in the next proper GCSE's next year!**
