June Collective Haul

Good afternoon beauties! Is it just me or has this month flown by so fast? I was really busy with nails and makeup appointments this month because of weddings and so on that I hardly noticed how time was going by!

I will start with the big purchase of the month, the dress I wore to my cousin's wedding yesterday (outfit post will be coming up in a few). I technically bought this at the end of May and I opted for this unique Jovani dress which is not something you would see me wear often as I usually don't like a lot going on in my sartorial choices. However, the dress appealed to me because it is different and I liked the colour and patterns on it. It actually looks more white here than it is in person. It is quite expensive at €550 but I love it and I'm sure I will be wearing it to more weddings.

To go with it, I bought this very comfortable pair of peep-toes from Nine West for which I paid €89 and the rest of the accessories are all from Accessorize. Mum bought me all the latter pieces since I spent so much on the dress and they were priced as follows; scarf €23.50, bag €15.90 (I ended up using a Dorothy Perkins one which I already had instead of this one), earrings €15.90, ring €15.90 and bracelet €19.90.

This month, my Mum is guilty of increasing my shoe collection by another 3 pairs from M&S. She bought me the coral sling-backs (€35) and the snake skin print kitten heels (€29.50) as a very early birthday present since I really needed both and then she bought me the suede and snake skin print pair at the brand's warehouse sale for just €5!

...but obviously those weren't enough and I bought this white pair of peep-toes (€22.99) and these diamond and flowers flip-flops (€17.99) from New Look.

Moving on to beauty purchases, I will start with the essentials that I needed to stock upon. From top left, clockwise; Good Things Total Wipe Out Cleansing Wipes (€3.25 for 25 wipes), Dailies AquaComfort Plus contact lenses (€21.50 for 30 lenses), Lycia Delicate Touch Face waxing strips (€2.70), Veet Wax Strips (€7.10), Nivea Sun Protect & Bronze sun block (€10.35) and Roberts Rose Water (€1.90). Finally I also bought the Pupa Anti-Cellulite Treatment Cream for €28 and they gave a 75ml Anti-Cellulite Scrub for free.

I bought these polishes in May but for some reason, the postman failed to deliver them and I had to pick them up from the post office. I bought Orly Bonder (€9), China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and China Glaze Not In This Galaxy (€6.50 each) from their Holographic collection even though it is not as holographic as I would like it, it is still a beautiful shade.

More nail polish related purchases come from Essence Cosmetics. This time I bought Nail Polish Corrector Pencil and 2 in 1 Profi File for €1.60 each and Studio Nails Pro White Hardener and Pro White Effect for €2 each.

Once again, one of my father's clients gave him this cute make-up set for me that came with a magazine. I'm really loving bright makeup these days and this came at just the right time!
