HOLLAND HAUL

Hello!

As you may or may not have known, I recently came back from a holiday in Amsterdam, and today I'm going to be doing the haul from Amsterdam!

   

I went to multiple shops to get what I did, so this won't be a haul from a particular shop. Also, If I mention prices they will be in Euros, so might not be that price depending where you're from.

Item 1:

 My first item is this Kabuki brush from Victoria's Secret. I actually got this from the airport we flew from, when I saw a Victoria's Secret I couldn't resist going in (mostly because Cara Delevingne cat-walked for them). I didn't have a particular reason for getting this Kabuki brush, but have heard Kabuki brushes are good and handy to have, and as I was going away I thought this would be a good idea to buy. Currently, I'm unsure on how much this was, but I don't think it was too expensive.

Item 2:

  

For anyone who doesn't know, these are called Clogs, and are basically just a wooden shoe. I'm not too sure on the story behind Clogs, but it's something I might look up. Anyway, I think these are so so cute, they aren't my size (funnily enough), but I will keep them forever as a sentiment of going to Amsterdam. These Clogs were €5.50 from a local souvineer shop, it was a very cute shop and they even gave me a free postcard, haha.

Item 3:

  

I got quite a few items from H&M, and one of them was this nail varnish in the shade 'mad mint.' I have no idea how good this will be, it was only €0.95 so I'm not expecting anything amazing, but I really loved the colour of this when I saw it. If it is good I might do a review on the nail varnish, but I'm not too sure yet. Also, since when did H&M start doing make-up products? Have I just not been up-to-date with H&M, or is this just in Amsterdam?

Item 4:

My second item from H&M are these 2 candles. I never knew H&M did home items, but apparently they do and I thought these were the cutest candles ever, they match my room and I couldn't not have them. The candles don't have a scent which is fine by me, the lace around the edge of the candles caught my eye most, not the scent. The 2 candles were €2.95 which is reasonable price for them, however an added scent would've made them perfect.

Item 5:

   

This is quite an odd thing to buy on holiday, but yes I bought a pillow case. Once again, it was an item that I knew would suit my room and couldn't not buy. As you can see the pillow case is covered in silver, circle sequins layered on top of eachother in rows, not randomly dotted around the case. The sequins don't go onto the back, otherwise they would have more a chance of falling off/bending, so the back is just a white cotton. I got this cushion case for €12.95 from H&M, I can't really say much more apart from that I love it!

Item 6:

  

My 6th item is a large, gold necklace from H&M. There's something about this necklace that I just seem to love, I think its the fake lace aspect that gets me the most because I love lace, and big necklaces so this is almost a heaven for me. The necklace is broken off into 4 sections that dangle separately attached from the other parts, and makes a great statement piece necklace on a plain outfit. Annoyingly I can't find the receipt for this, and cannot remember at all how much this was, but I vaguely remember it being around €9 so not too pricey for a big necklace.

Item 7:

The last item I got from H&M is this chiffon white bomber jacket. As soon as I saw this I immediately fell in love, I have an everlasting love for bomber jackets and transparent things, so I was extremely happy to see this. The only bad thing about this is that it's white, so it is prone to getting dirty quickly, however the jacket is made from a very good chiffon so will not damage easily, which is why this jacket was €49.95. It is made very well meaning it will last a long time, that's why the price is so high, but worth it.

Item 8:

The last, and final item is a bubblegum lip scrub from Lush.

Quite alot of people have heard of these, but for anyone who hasn't, they're basically a lip scrub that you rub on your lips then lick off for a moisturizing finish. It sounds weird that you lick it off after, but it's only made from sugar, jojoba oil, and flavourings/colourings, so nothing to make you feel ill. The lip scrubs from Lush are the nicest smelling, and tasting things ever, they have 3 different flavours: Mint, Bubblegum, and Popcorn, all of them taste and smell delicious. I cant remember the exact price, but it was around €6 which is good considering the taste, smell, and quantity is great.

 Overall, I'm pleased with what I got.
