The 'I went to Boots + a charity shop' Haul

Hello everyone!

I know Thrift O'Clock has taken a little hiatus but I assure you I am very much back and can't wait to blog again. With GCSE's I didn't really have the chance to sit down on my laptop much, or go out shopping, but now they're over I will definitely keep this blog running. I can only thank you all for staying with me!

I GOT A JOB. 

I've been working in a deli for about 3 weeks now and as exhausting as it is, I do enjoy getting out of the house and earning my own money, and that's exactly how this haul was funded!

It's not a massive haul - I went shopping yesterday mainly to get a few essential makeup bits and trek round the charity shops, (which I haven't done in so long) as well as go to lots of different shops just to try things on.

Anyway, on with the haul!

I popped into Boots as I knew there was a 3 for 2 offer on L'Oreal makeup. Their Infallible foundation is my all time favourite and I've always wanted to try the Volume Million Lashes mascara, so when I found out the offer was on I was delighted! I got the Rouge Caresse lipstick in 301 Dating Coral as my freebie which I'm very excited to try and I'll maybe do a review if anyone would like that?

The Rimmel London Clear Complexion powder is something I will continue to repurchase into the foreseeable future. There's not a lot I can say other than that it's a wonder product and does exactly what it says on the lid - clears your complexion. I've been wearing this alone recently to work and it just gives me that confidence that my skin is evened out and clearer.

I feel like the last blogger to buy this - the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. Everyone in the blogging world has raved about it, I don't think I've read one negative review about it, but I never got round to buying it? I'm very lucky to only have the odd spot every once in a while so I never saw the need, but lately I've been wanting just a tad more coverage around my eyes so I knew this would do the job. There was another offer in Boots that if you spent more than £4 in Boots, you could get a Hot Looks nail polish free so that sweetened the deal! I got one in the shade 59 Look At Me! and as the name suggests, it does stand out a bit. I tried it on my nails when I got home and two coats gives a good even coverage of . . . a very hard to describe green. It's definitely a colour that will pop and contrast with outfits - can't wait to wear it!

The last thing I picked up in Boots was their Natural Collection Vanilla body spray. I've tried a few of their different body sprays and Vanilla is one I will always prefer - it's a great scent for any time of the year, but I especially love it in Autumn/Winter so I thought it would be great for going back to school.

Next I went to my favourite charity shop (does anyone else have a favourite or is it just me?) which never fails to deliver. I think I got the best items I've ever got from any charity shop this time!

I pulled these three things into the changing rooms and was absolutely thrilled.

Firstly I picked up this bluey-purple top. It's quite sheer and I love the details on the sleeves and front as well as the peter pan collar. It's a little long for a top yet too short for a dress so I think I'll tuck it into things mostly.
