Spring Primark Haul!

Primark and I have a love/hate relationship; either I go in and find a wardrobe full of stuff that I love or find absolutely nothing and leave severely disappointed. When I ventured into the store a few days back, I found myself picking up a few bits that are cute for Spring time and even for the Summer  months which are quickly approaching! 

Apologies for the poor quality! I only have access to my iPhone camera at the mo!!

From left to right:

Hot pink smock top: I picked this up on the reduced section which always makes me feel extremely satisfied in Primark to get a cheap top even cheaper! Maybe I'm a cheap skate. Actually no, I prefer bargain hunter! This top was originally £6 and I got it for £3 so evidently, I couldn't just leave it behind even if it could do with being slightly bigger on me. Not sure if this will still be available so have a rummage through the reduced section girls! 

Tan Sandals: I saw a random pair of these cute sandals chucked on the floor (standard procedure for Primark, right?!) and ended up scouring the entire shoe section to find these as I loved the simple detail with no gaudy jewels that a lot of Primark sandals seem to have this season. Eventually I found them and put them straight into my basket. For £4, who can resist another pair of shoes?

Patterned Collar Blouse: Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE tops/shirts with collars to the extent that I get mocked if I buy something without a collar! But I couldn't leave this, not when the pattern is so gorgeous. It immediately caught my eye especially with the cute tie knot which I thought would look great with shorts for the Summer. This cost £5 which I was surprised by as the material is so soft and feels lovely unlike the cardboard feel Primark's tops often obtain!

Peach Flower Skorts: Skorts are massively on trend at the moment. I've not owned a pair since I was about 15 so when I saw the gorgeous peach colour with the lovely flower pattern, I immediately picked them up. They are high waisted with a delicate zip up the back so would look great with a top tucked in. These cost £7 and I think they are going to be one of my favourite Summer items this year!

Has anyone else found anything they love from Primark recently?

Spring Makeup Trends

It appears this Spring that the orange lip is making a comeback which makes me incredibly happy! I absolutely love coral/orange shades and it is one of the first shades I like to look for when I'm out shopping - along with red/purple shades. Over the past couple of years I guess you could say I've become more daring with lip colours - I used to stick with nudes or pinks but I just sort of find them boring sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I still get excitable if I do endeavor to buy any shade of lipstick but throw me a coral or red shade and I'll be forever in your favour! 

What has made me go 'oh no' under my breath when scouring through glamour and vogue online is the return of the 80's blue eyeshadow. Like really? Does electric blue really look good on anybody? I'm really not a fan of this. I started wondering what eye colour it would actually suit and personally, on blue eyes I think it would take away from the natural blue colour of the eye and brown eyes, well, when has blue and brown ever gone together? Perhaps it would suit green/hazel eyes but I'll have to believe this when I see it.  As you can tell, I'm hoping this trend won't be as popular as the orange lip! I don't think I could cope seeing  blue eyelids everywhere...

What are your favourite trends this Spring?
