Rather Large London Haul #travellintoLondon

So here's finally my rather large haul from London (I said we had many looks at the shops :D). This post is a little bit late, but I started school this monday, so I hadn't any time to upload it (school is taking control over my life, already at the first week :D) The haul contains beauty picks,three clothes items, books and random stuff. I hope you like this post and let me know in the comments if I should do a review about a beauty product. So let's get started!

1. Beauty Picks or better: Drugstore paradise Boots
 One shop I had to go in was Boots. Boots is simply a drugstore mixed with some highstreet products and pharmacy. Here I worked off my beauty wishlist. At first I will start with lip products I got (hi lipstick obsession). From Revlon I bought the super hyped Colorburst Lipbutters, I got mine in the shade 047 Pink Lemonade, which is basically a light nudish pink and in the shade 050 Berry Smoothie, which is a berry lipstick (oh really?) with gold particles (I was afraid that the shimmer would come ot unnatural on the lips but it looks fantastic :) ). From Bourjois I got the Rouge Velvet Edition Matte Finish lipstick-lipgloss mix (recommend by Viviannadoesmakeup) in the shade Nude-ist, which looks pink-brown in the packaging, but on the lips it looks pinkish (very pinkish). If you want a review on this product let me know, I would love to do one! :) Then I had to buy another Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick, because I have owned one from them before and the quality is really good (also a good budget buy). I got mine in the shade 107, which is the most perfect dark red ever.
From Boots I got also a concealer, which is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade 2 Cool medium. This is a very dry concealer, so I personally think this is not the right concealer when you have dry skin. For me, it's a really good concealer, but I have to test this one out. One thing I wanted for ages was the CC Cream from Bourjois, beacause I heard great things about it. This be supposed to reduce rednesses and spots. I haven't tried this one out yet, but it seems really good and the shade 31 ivory fits perfectly to my skin. From Rimmel I got the Stay Matte Powder in the shade 005 silky beige, which is a nice powder, which doesn't look cakey in combination with a concealer. Also it's very light to wear and I love the texture of it.

And I also had to get some Soap and Glory products, because I absolutely love the smell of it. I got a travel sized "The Righteous Butter", the Hand food handcream and the Hand Maid sanitizer. Every product smells incredible :).
Something which smells nice too, is the One Direction You and I perfume, I totally forgot to buy until I saw it in Boots. It smells very floral, and as you can tell I really like floral scents. The flask is also very fancy.
For body care I got the Vaseline Spray&Go body moisturiser with cocoa butter. This one is really easy to apply and soaks in very fast. I absolutely love it!

2. Victoria's Secret (another girl's heaven) 
A shop I had to go in was Victorias Secret at the New Bond Street. This store is amazing! The decoration, everything is very,very wonderful. I think my favourite sections were the sport section and the bodyspray section. Absolutely heavenly! I was at the PINK section and bought one mint green shirt, a berry sweater and a normal black leggins. I got the sweater and the leggings for 25 pound instead of 54. Well that was a bargain!

3. Jack Wills 
Well, Jack Wills is a place you have to go when you're visiting London. This is a really nice shop with british inspired clothes, accessoires and so on. I just bought a shopper bag with the famous Jack Wills print. I really like this one!

4..Random Stuff (Harrods, Waterstones, Covent Garden,news agent, Victoria and Albert Museum, Shakespeare Globe Theatre)
Now I will show you random things I bought. At Waterstones I bought three books, which are "Selection" by Kiera Cass, "Divergent" by Veronica Roth and "Let it snow" by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. If you want to read the blurb or have an insight in the book, just search it on Amazon, because it would take a long time to describe the content in this post.
At Harrods (shopping paradise, as described at my London post - check it out!) I bought a notebook and pencils from Cath Kidston with this incredibly cute print (love the floral prints at Cath Kidston). Also I got a tea, which smells very fruity and fresh (haven't tried it yet).
 At Covent Garden I got two super cute things (can't remember the name of the shop, but they had many signs and deco articles). Here I got a sign, which says: Happiness is a long, hot bubble bath (this sign is meant for me, because I love bubble baths :D). Also I got a peg in the shape of a heart with a cute floral pattern.























At the news agent I bought the Teen Vogue and the Company Magazine, because you can't buy it in Germany and I really like these two. They are also very handy because they have the perfect bag size.
 Also the "Dictionary of Fashion" from Christian Dior was on my wishlist. Coincidentally I've seen it at the Victoria and Albert Museum and had to get it. This is really useful, if you want to improve your knowledge of fashion.
Last item I got was a cute little book, a little selection of Shakespeare's Love Sonnets. Here you can find really nice extracts from his sonnets.
So now this is finally the end of this post. This has become longer than I thought. Let me know in the comments what item you liked most and don't forget to follow me on my Bloglovin account. Hope you liked this post :)
Have a nice week and keep smiling,
