I was very lucky to be able to work with McArthur Glen, Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlets this week and if you missed my Instagram Stories and Snapchats from the day then you won’t have seen any sneak peeks of what I picked up, so here goes…I hope you enjoy!

Good morning everybody, or good afternoon, good evening,
whatever time you're watching this video.
Today I have a bit of an interesting day.
I am working with Cheshire Oaks on an event.
So I thought I would try and do maybe a bit of a vlog today.
We'll see how it goes, if I get enough footage,
and if I buy enough designer items,
then I will be able to show you
what I bought later on this evening.
So first of all, today on the agenda
is a hairdresser's appointment.
I was planning on having a full head of highlights,
but to be honest with you,
I don't know if I'll have time to be able to have all that
and a blow dry before getting to the event
at Cheshire Oaks later on tonight.
So I might just go with half head today,
and see what my hairdresser says.
And then, yeah, currently packing,
because we might actually be staying
in Manchester overnight tonight,
because I have another event on,
which is kind of like much more of a casual,
it's a launch of a new bar
in Northern Quarter in Manchester.
So it's the sort of event
that's just more of like a pop in, pop out.
There's free food and drinks.
So I was already planning on going to that with Tom,
and we were gonna stay over with some friends.
So we'll see if we decide to do that or not yet tonight.
But just in case,
I'm gonna be taking an overnight bag with me,
just so that I have a few bits
as an emergency contact lens wearer, pill taker.
I have to think in advance of these things.
I can't just stop over and crash at someone's,
because I'm the sort of person
that likes to have a bag ready,
and yeah, have my life sorted.
So yeah, trying to decide as well what to wear.
Let me see if I can just pop you there.
So currently just have this high neck gray jumper.
I got this from, where did I get this from?
I can't remember.
If I can remember, I'll list it below.
But essentially, it's just a plain,
really, really soft, like cashmere,
very thin knit jumper, high neck.
I've got on some black jeans,
and I will put on some,
like maybe over the knee suede boots.
Then I've got this blazer, which I very rarely wear,
but I feel like it's kind of fitting for this event.
It's from Ralph Lauren.
I got it ages ago, like literally years ago.
And they've got a Ralph Lauren store there,
so I might try and find a few bits.
We'll see.
I'll definitely be having a look.
And planning on getting a few bits for Christmas maybe,
Christmas presents, Christmas gifts to myself.
We'll see.
But yeah, I thought it was kind of fitting.
And then I've just got this Hermes scarf as well,
so I'm kind of going designer today.
And yeah, and I'm gonna take my coach bag,
which is there, if you can see,
which I actually got at Cheshire Oaks.
So yeah, thinking of taking that.
I don't know if I'm gonna be warm enough.
That's the only thing.
So I have got another jacket,
which I'll take just as an extra leg.
So I'm not really sure of the event lineup,
what's gonna go on.
They're gonna brief me when I get there
of what's the plan for the evening.
Essentially the event's on five till nine,
so it's gonna be freezing if we're walking around.
So I'll pack that jacket just in case
that is what we're doing.
But yeah, this is the outfit.
And as for now, I'm gonna knit to the hairdressers.
I say knit, it'll take me probably about
three or four hours in the hairdressers.
And then, yeah, maybe see you when I get there,
maybe see you at the hairdressers.
I don't know, we'll see.
See you later.
So quick update on what I decided to go with.
Excuse the mess in this room, by the way.
We're kind of doing a big clear out at the minute
and redecorating slash painting, so ignore that.
But yeah, I went with these
misguided high-waisted vice jeans, just plain black.
They actually have a raw hem,
but I've got these boots on,
which are from Primani, Primark.
These, like, ugh, just love them so much.
So yeah, went with them.
And went with this misguided shearling jacket
just because it is freezing outside,
so I'd be silly not to take one.
I've got my Ralph Lauren blazer in the car,
so if I do decide I'm too warm,
I can just throw that on instead.
And then that same top, which I remember now
is from everythingfivepounds.com, amazing.
So I don't actually know where the original shop is,
but yeah.
And then Links of London is one of the stores there,
so I've got my Links of London necklace on.
And yeah, my Movado watch, ready to go.
I'm gonna go to the hairdressers now, get my hair done,
and see you at Cheshire Oaks, whoop whoop.
♪ To me, in darkness when there's no more light ♪
♪ They can see, I'll take us back ♪
♪ To times when our lives were similar ♪
♪ And times that all seemed easier ♪
♪ Guide you through this end of this maze ♪
♪ Don't look so, and I just won't try, you've got it ♪
♪ And like so we can, feel like you, feel like you, feel like you ♪
Finally back home, I'm absolutely exhausted.
Had such a fab day,
and might have done a little bit of shopping.
I'm not gonna show you tonight because I'm so tired.
So I'm gonna show you in next week's video, just kidding.
I'm gonna skip to the next clip, which will be another day,
brand new day where I'm fresh, fresh face and makeup.
And I'll show you everything I bought,
but for now I'm gonna say good night.
I'm gonna sleep well
after like a very successful shopping trip, let's be honest.
I managed to get a few Christmas presents in here as well.
So all my Christmas shopping is done.
It's not even December yet, but I'm done.
I am officially done.
So I will skip to the next clip, stop jabbering,
go to sleep and show you what I bought another day.
Here's what I bought.
So it is the following morning.
I'm so excited to show you everything I bought.
I was actually planning on filming this on Monday
because this video is going live on Wednesday.
And I was just so excited.
So today's Friday and I wanted to get up this morning
and show you everything I bought
and also kind of remind myself what I bought and just,
I'm still so excited after everything that I found.
I actually think I did really well
because sometimes you can go to designer outlets
and it'd be a good day, a good browse,
but then you don't really necessarily come home with much.
This time, I think I found quite a lot
of really good bargains.
So I'm gonna start with,
I'm just gonna jump straight in
and start with this one here,
which if you saw my Insta stories,
you will have seen that I was actually working
with Cheshire Oaks on,
or obviously, earlier on in the vlog,
I probably mentioned it.
And they invited me down for an event with The Insider,
which is here, if you can see.
They very kindly gifted me a little goodie bag
full of a few bits.
So I thought I would show you first of all
what I got in here.
So the first thing that I noticed is this book
by Le Creuset, which is really, really generous and kind.
And we're getting into like large pot style cooking,
if that makes sense.
So we've got one dish in particular
that we absolutely love at the minute.
So I'm interested to see what other ideas
Le Creuset recommend.
So that was very kind of them.
They also kindly allowed us to park in a new parking area,
which is actually a previous parking area,
which they've changed to be like a privileged car park
where you pay five pounds, I believe it is,
and you can reserve a spot before you get there.
Because I know Cheshire Oaks is very popular
and sometimes it can be quite hard to find parking.
It is free parking.
However, they now have an area
where you can reserve your own space.
It's only five pounds.
And not only do you have a guaranteed space
for when you arrive,
you also get a privileged card
with 10% off extra savings on quite a few of the stores.
So that is dated for the day that you're there.
So that is only valid for that one day.
But that's one extra benefit of doing that.
They also included in here a little tote bag from,
I think this is Belstaff, yeah.
So a little shopper tote from Belstaff
and that'll just be handy for,
in fact, it came in handy yesterday for carrying a few bits.
They also kindly included a couple of goodies from Lint.
They included a Lint latte.
I love coffee-flavored chocolates.
So a little Lint latte.
And also a little candy cane.
Perfect for Christmas.
Also, it's very festive there at the minute.
They've got all the lights up, Christmas trees,
there's a little bar,
and everywhere you can get festive drinks,
which is really nice.
Then they also,
sorry, I'm just opening this without even showing you.
They also included a little Karl Lagerfeld bag
with inside a luggage tag,
which is very Karl Lagerfeld.
So that's the back of it with the Karl Lagerfeld there.
It's also got Karl Lagerfeld label on it,
if that's gonna focus.
And then on the front,
it's got your very own Karl Lagerfeld.
So yeah, luggage tag from them.
So thank you, Karl Lagerfeld.
That store is actually fairly new to Cheshire Oaks.
I think it's only been open about a month or so.
It's very monochrome inspired,
which I love.
A lot of the bags and accessories and clothes
were all monochrome.
So if you like that style,
Karl Lagerfeld at Cheshire Oaks is worth a visit.
They also include a little leather card holder
with MacArthur Glen designer outlets on it.
And what else?
A little notepad from Paul Smith.
Always handy and perfect for a handbag size.
And then also from Rituals,
they included a ginseng and gingko biloba.
Yeah, a hand balm from Rituals.
I love Rituals.
I actually first discovered Rituals
when we went to Barbados recently.
And they included a few bits
if you travel first class from Rituals.
And I loved them.
I've literally used them up.
I love them so much.
So that is what I got from MacArthur Glen themselves.
So thank you very much for that.
The first purchase that I made was from Sunglasses Hut.
And it's a pair of ring bands.
I was so happy with these.
I think they are so affordable.
Great value for money.
Something different, which is good for me.
They are all black, which is my style.
And they are in this like cat eye kind of style,
which is quite popular at the minute.
And definitely something that I don't already own.
So what do you think?
Let me know your thoughts on these.
I love Ray-Ban sunglasses.
All my favorite sunglasses are from Ray-Ban.
So yeah, what do you think?
These were a major bargain.
They were down to just 40 pounds.
And then with the 10% off, 36 pounds.
So these were an absolute find.
And they actually had quite a lot
of Ray-Ban style sunglasses
in the 40 pound clearance section.
So I did try on a few different pairs.
Some which were similar to what I already have.
So I thought I would get something
out of my comfort zone, a bit different.
Still black, but I do love them.
Next up, I'm gonna go with these Calvin Klein ones.
Now I'm gonna say now,
there are a few Christmas presents here
in and amongst these bags for family and friends.
So if your family and friends either watch away
or the surprise is gonna be ruined for you.
So I got something for myself, which I'll show you first.
This is a, it kind of caught my attention
before I'd even got into the shop.
It's a Calvin Klein bralette and matching underwear set.
So this is a little thong.
I got them in a size medium.
That actually looks quite big off, but we'll see.
We'll try and make it work.
I love obviously black and I love wearing
these kind of sports bra type bras every day.
So yeah, really liked this.
It was reduced from 33 pounds down to 23 pounds.
And the bottoms were from 22 pounds down to 15 pounds.
Yeah, and I got the extra 10% off them as well.
And then also with these, I got for Tom,
just a two pack of Calvin Klein black and white boxes.
Two trunks, they were reduced from 38 pounds
down to 26 pounds.
Next up, I'm gonna go in with this one here
and it's from Molton Brown.
I picked up, again, this is another Christmas gift.
So beautifully wrapped.
I'm gonna open it and ruin the beautiful packaging.
But they had these sets on offer for 20 pounds
just for that day, I believe.
So I got a set of two fine liquid hand washers,
one in Puritas and one in Pettigree Dune.
I think that's how you pronounce it.
So that is a gift for a family member.
And with that, with any purchase,
you could pick up this travel size set
of lots of different goodies for just 10 pounds.
So again, this is gonna be a Christmas gift
for somebody in my family this year.
They had their advent calendars there as well,
but they are very, very expensive.
But if you like Molton Brown,
then you can pick up a bargain.
I think the advent calendars were actually on offer
from 150 pounds to 105 pounds.
So it's quite a good chunk of money off
if you were looking to get one anyway.
Next up is All Saints,
which All Saints has just reminded me, actually.
I met Sheldon.
If you've not seen her before, I'm sure you have,
but I'll link her channel below.
She's amazing.
I've loved watching her for a while now.
So I bumped into her.
She was also there with Cheshire Oaks doing some shopping.
So had a good catch up with her, a good chat with her.
And we were talking about the fact that All Saints
is kind of, I love the style of it,
but she actually used to work there.
Her boyfriend, Matt, was there as well.
And they both used to work in All Saints.
And they too are very much like,
it's good for a few things,
but kind of more like used to love All Saints,
now not so much.
I still like it.
I like the style,
but I do find that quality can be a bit hit and miss
with All Saints, considering the prices you pay.
So I did pick up a few bits.
First thing, oh, by the way, it was amazing to me.
So I'm so happy.
If you're watching this, love you, love your videos.
So glad to have met you.
And I will be in touch about what we talked about,
which I'm not going to speak on here
because it's a Christmas present for somebody.
You'll know what I mean.
But yeah, so let me show you what I got from All Saints.
Another thing I didn't mention in my video yesterday
was the after.
So you might have seen I nipped into the hairdressers
to get some coloring done.
I went a bit more natural this time.
So this is, there's less color
and this is more my natural color.
So I'm kind of starting to let my roots grow out
a little bit and just have a little top up with color
instead of like a block.
So yeah, let me know what you think of my hair.
And yeah, let's jump straight in.
So the first item I got is this white shirt,
which is sleeveless.
It's very loose and like the material feels
really, really good quality.
This was reduced down from 128 pounds,
128 pounds to just 20 pounds.
And then I got 10% off that as well.
So 18 pounds.
So I think that was a good buy from All Saints.
They have some great discounts on
and yeah, really, really like that.
This I could just wear like loose and oversized
or I could tuck in to some high-waisted jeans.
I'm kind of thinking of wearing these
with like leather look leggings, something like that.
So yes, that is the first kind of clothing purchase
that I made.
I also picked up this sweater, like gray sweater,
which I love.
It's so thick, so cozy.
The quality is really, really nice.
I did get it in a size large.
They had smalls and mediums available,
but I wanted it to be a bit oversized.
So this was reduced from 108 pounds down to 54 pounds.
Again, with the 10% off that.
And what I like about this is it's very plain at the front
and party at the back.
I love this lace-up detailing that it's got going along
all the back and all the way down the sleeves as well.
I just think it adds a little texture,
a little something different.
The hardware on it is like a silver color.
Love gray, love this.
So thick and really, really good quality.
So can't wait to wear that.
And then last but not least is this,
which is gonna be kind of hard to show you,
but you might have seen in a little clip
me trying something like this on.
And then I found this one, which I prefer even more.
So it's the Marley Coat.
Again, anything that I find online,
I will list below for you
in case you're interested in checking it out.
Otherwise, of course, recommend going
and checking out Cheshire Oaks for some good bargains.
So this was reduced from 258 pounds down to 77 pounds,
again, with the 10% off that.
And then this was in a size six.
They didn't have any other sizes available,
so I thought, well, I'll try this on and see how it works.
And it actually fits fine.
So should I try and show it on a little bit, kind of,
so you get a gist as to what it looks like?
Excuse my midriff there on show.
You'll kind of have an idea there as to what it's like.
It's just a plain black, really, really lightweight,
but not super thin,
like it's still gonna keep me quite warm.
And then there's this buckle here,
which this on the end of here attaches to.
So you feed that through that loop.
And then this goes across to this loop here.
So again, just tie that through.
And essentially, you can wear it open,
but I quite like it done up like this.
And you've got like a loose fit at the front,
like a deep V, kind of like dressing gown style,
like really slouchy, casual black coat.
And it goes to a nice length.
Excuse the slippers.
This is not my regular try-on video.
This is like a makeshift try-on.
But yeah, absolutely love that.
I was after a black coat anyway,
so I'm so glad I found this one.
The quality of it feels amazing.
Moving on to the next one, which is French Connected.
So I saw this jumper.
I actually saw it on a girl that was working there in Khaki.
Picked myself one up in white.
So this is like a fairly true white color.
So it's probably gonna be a one-time wear
before I get foundation all over it,
a bit like this one, before I have to wash it each time.
So I will wear this on an occasion
when I'm perhaps going out,
going shopping, something like that,
and wearing it all day so I can get a good wear out of it.
I got it in a size small.
It was reduced from 70 pounds down to 39 pounds,
with, again, 10% off that price.
And it's in this kind of like waffle print.
It's so thick.
And then it's ribbed on the sleeves.
Let me try and show you here without getting makeup on it.
So you can see the sleeves are like full length,
but the actual ribbed bit kind of goes up
to just like above the elbow.
So love this style.
It's a good length to wear with jeans
and or like wet look pants or leather pants.
Love this, so thick, so cozy.
And it's definitely one of those jumpers
that you can wear without a jacket because it's so thick.
Next up is Lint.
So Lint was involved with the event and the promotions.
They had some special deals on.
I just went with an advent calendar,
which is for Thomas this year.
And that was, I think, 5.99 with the 10% off.
And then I bought these from the pick and mix section
where you can mix and match all the different chocolates.
You can just pick and add to your bag as you go.
So I got literally like two of every flavor at least.
And then the ones that I really like, maybe a couple more.
She said, if you get four more, you'll get 20% off.
So I was like, yeah, okay, I'll get four more.
And it came to 11 pounds and 80 pence,
which is quite expensive really for like a bag.
When you think you can get a big box of Lint chocolates
for like a fiver or something in supermarkets,
it's quite pricey.
But I do like the fact that I've got lots
of different flavors to try, so yeah.
Okay, so moving on to Rituals,
which is actually the last shop I went into.
And I'm so glad I did because as much as,
like I was saying earlier,
Rituals is a new brand to me personally.
I do love it.
And I was smelling their perfumes
and she was explaining how they're made
in the same factory as Tom Ford, I believe,
or the same oils as Tom Ford, but a fraction of the price.
So I've got my eyes on a perfume for in the future.
I didn't need one at the minute,
but I did very nearly buy one, but I resisted.
And instead I picked up some bits for the house.
As you can see, I've got a couple of candles burning there
and around me, I've got some more candles
and reed diffusers, which I'm loving at the minute.
I love walking into your home and it's smelling amazing.
So I picked up a few.
The first and most expensive one I'll show you first
is this, which is incredible.
I kind of don't want to open it.
It would make a good gift for somebody, this as well.
It's in black oud, which I loved.
And it's a big reed diffuser with 450 mils worth of product,
which I think she said would last you up until about May.
So you get two lots of reed diffuser sticks in with it
because it's quite a big reed diffuser.
And that is what it looks like.
It looks so luxurious, so like, oh!
And it really is.
It smells incredible.
So I've got black oud.
Now I'm going to have to put this away.
I also picked up another reed diffuser,
which was a smaller one.
Sorry, let me just tell you the price of that big one.
It was 42 pounds and 50 pence with the extra 10% off that.
The next one I got,
which was this one priced at 25 pounds and 50 pence,
is a smaller reed diffuser in verbena and pettigrain, 230 mils.
When I smelled this,
it reminded me of being in like a really luxurious spa.
It's very fresh.
Oh, so good.
It was, she did say, a limited edition in summer last year.
So I doubt you'll be able to get it online,
but if you can, I will list it below.
If not, definitely check out Cheshire Oaks for this
because it is incredible.
They have loads of different scents,
but that one is something special.
And then last but not least, this candle I got,
which was I think 29 pounds and 50 pence with the 10% off.
Now this, I don't know what Tom's going to think of this one
because it's in the scent Holy Smoke,
which it smells of smoke
and it smells like your house on fire, but I love it.
So this kind of looks similar
to the packaging of that reed diffuser
and it's an all black candle, Holy Smoke there.
It's got these cute little like gold stamp on the box
and the packaging and everything.
It must be their kind of motif.
It smells so good.
Now these ones are a little bit more pricey, I believe,
because they're stronger scented.
It's a bit like incense.
So if you like that really musky smell,
then you'll love that.
She also threw in a couple of samples
of Energize, Groom to Perfection,
Energizing Face Balm from the Samurai Collection,
which looked amazing, by the way.
I nearly got one of these from the Samurai Collection
just because of the packaging,
but I thought, no, go with the scent that I like.
And yeah, this is a cute little Energizing Face Balm
and I've got two of them.
Moving on to Jack Wills.
Love their branding, by the way.
Jack Wills is something that I used to love in school
and as did quite a few of our school friends.
A bit like Hollister and Abercrombie.
And it's now not so much a shop that I go in,
but I do quite like the quality of Jack Wills
and for little basics and staples, really like.
So I picked up two things.
I firstly picked up this, which caught my attention,
and it's a Jack Wills, how do they describe this?
Is it a sports bra?
No, just a strappy bralette.
Got it in a UK size 10.
It was reduced from 29.95 down to 20 pounds
and then with a further 10% off that.
So not a major, major bargain, but I did really like it.
The quality feels amazing, super soft.
And what I really like about this
is the simplicity of the black on black.
And it's also got the Jack Wills logo
on the back there as well.
I just love the design.
They had it in like a really light pink,
again with pink writing, which I did ask for in my size,
but they didn't have.
So I just picked up that one.
And then I also picked up these gray joggers,
which are just perfect for lounging around the house,
also going out in.
I do love Jack Wills for their joggers and hoodies
and their like comfy, casual wear.
So these were reduced from 46.95 down to 36 pounds
and then reduced again to 26 pounds.
And then again, another 10% off them.
They're just plain, simple gray joggers,
a little Wills there, but I don't mind about it
not being on show or it being on show either way.
And they go all the way down
into little cuffed bottoms like that.
Love this, so soft.
Again, the quality for Jack Wills is incredible.
So really, really appreciate the quality from them
and will love lounging around in them.
Next up is a bag from Puma.
I quite like this brand ever since they've worked
with like upcoming celebrities.
It's kind of the one that I've not really noticed
before in the past, but do quite like now.
So, and it was quite affordable, this one.
They had quite a good sale on.
So I picked up this jumper slash top jumper dress thing.
And again, what I like again is the monotone pink on pink.
They did have black on black,
but it just looked a bit too masculine for me,
even though you know I love black and I was very tempted.
I actually had it in my hand and I thought,
this is the one that caught my attention first.
Again, they also had a very, very light pink on pink,
but I just quite liked this darker pink.
Even though you know pink isn't like a major color of mine,
this really caught my attention.
Love the slouchiness of it and the comfort,
like it's really, really soft and thick.
So it's original price was 49 pounds down to 33 pounds,
down to a final price of 23 pounds
with an extra 10% off that.
So yeah, good value for money with that one
and will definitely look forward to wearing that.
Next up from the fragrance shop, I picked up,
ooh, there's another bag in here.
We'll leave that one till next time.
So I got from here a gift for somebody for Christmas.
It's a gift set of Zadeg and Voltaire.
I think that's how you pronounce the brand.
So it comes in a tin like this and it's just a,
let me open it up.
It's a fragrance, 50 mil eau de toilette
and also two little shower gels there, 50 mils each.
And I'm not gonna get it out because like I say,
it is a gift for somebody, but really liked this.
Love the packaging.
I can smell it already.
It smells amazing.
Really, really like that.
It's quite fresh and quite light,
which I thought this was gonna be a bit stronger
and a bit overpowering, but it's not.
It's really, really nice.
They had the for her available as well.
This one is for him.
Next up, very excited with this one.
If you have ever been,
you'll have seen the cosmetics company store.
If you love makeup as much as I do,
then you'll know that you can pick up some good finds.
The only thing is, is the store is always very small
and it was very crowded.
It was by far the most crowded store.
And I went on a time when the rest of the center
was fairly quiet.
So for that one store to be quite full,
I was like, oh, I just want to get to the front
and pick out the good bits.
But got there in the end, managed to get there.
Got quite a few bits, so I'll show you what I got.
Mostly MAC actually, looking at this.
The first thing that isn't MAC
is something that everybody raves about
and I've never tried.
So saw it and thought I would try it out for myself.
It's the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer,
which is oil-free and it was reduced from 26 pounds
down to 18 pounds and 25 pence.
And then I also picked up,
are the rest of the bits from MAC there?
No, this is Smashbox.
Oh, this, I was thinking,
I don't remember picking this up.
She actually included this free
after picking everything that I bought.
There wasn't like a set deal or anything.
She was like, oh, I've thrown an eyeliner for you.
Do you want black, brown, or lilac?
And I went with brown
because I only really wear brown eyeliner.
And it is Smashbox, I forgot about this,
Photo Angle Pure Pigment Eyeliner Gel Liner.
So that's what it looks like.
And then I also picked up a MAC 217 brush.
It's got SH at the end, which I assume is for short
because as you can see, it's quite a short version.
It was reduced from 21 pounds down to 15 pounds and 75 pence.
I also picked up, I like their brow pencil,
which is the really tiny, small one.
So I thought I would give this one a try.
It's in the shade Taupe, which is the one that I use.
It's the Brow Sculpt Brow Pencil,
reduced from 16 pounds and 50 pence down to 11 pounds 75.
This is what it looks like.
Kind of looks a bit like that eyeliner.
And this is what the nib looks like at the end there.
So it's kind of like a thicker end,
which I don't know if I would prefer,
but I'll definitely like.
It's the exact same color that I always go for.
They also had these, which is the brow gel cream,
which I'm running out of my Anastasia Beverly Hills
Dip Brow Pomade, is it called, in Taupe.
So they only had Ash Blonde available,
which I thought was fate.
So I went with it.
It was reduced from 16 pounds and 50 pence
down to 11 pounds 75.
And like I said, I am running out of this,
so I did really want to try it.
Like I said, it's in Ash Blonde.
That's what it looks like.
Kind of comes off quite warm toned and quite light on there,
but it is a nice, good, like, blonde color.
It might be a little bit fair for me, actually,
because I do have quite dark brows for a blonde.
But we will see.
I lastly picked up three lip products.
The first one being a mineralized rich lipstick,
which I've never tried before.
It's in the shade Meta Fabulous,
and it was the shade that really caught my attention.
Reduced from 21 pounds down to 14 pounds and 75 pence.
It looks like this, the packaging,
so it's slightly different to their regular lipsticks.
And it's in this gorgeous, like, nude color.
Very sheer, very light, but love that shade on me.
Like, personally, this is definitely gonna be, like,
a go-to every day.
That, like, really light coral baby pink,
especially with a tan as well.
Love that.
And then I also picked up two other lipsticks,
which I honestly couldn't believe my luck.
Usually, when you go into outlets,
it's got the colors that no one's ever heard of
or that are not as popular.
But I got two lipsticks.
One in Whirl, which I've got their lip liner and love.
It's, like, a dark brown.
And then the other one in Ruby Woo,
which is, like, the renowned red,
which I've never tried before.
So this is Whirl.
As you can see, it's in, like, a really dark brown,
kind of, like, warm-toned shade.
That's what that one looks like.
And then I also picked up,
did I say what these were reduced from?
$16.50 down to $11.75, both of these.
And then Ruby Woo, which I'm sure you'll know
is a gorgeous red color.
And it's a retro matte one,
so that's what the packaging looks like.
And this is what the red is like.
Oh, look at that.
I'm gonna swatch it here for you.
A real, true red.
Quite a light pinky, bluey, cool undertone to it.
Love that.
Cannot wait to wear it.
I think it's the perfect festive red.
And ooh, so excited.
I'm literally, the first thing I saw when I went
in the store was the Whirl lipstick,
and I was like, how do they have Whirl?
And then I saw Ruby Woo, and I was like,
adding to my basket as I went along.
So I think I had a really successful trip
in the Cosmetics Company store
owned by Estee Lauder Companies.
Definitely recommend going there
whenever you go to the MacArthur Glenn outlets.
Last but not least, my biggest purchase was from Reese.
Now, Tom is a big lover of Reese.
I love Reese for men, but I find the women's section
can be a little bit, not dated, because it's not.
It's just suitable, I think, for slightly older women.
And I just find the sizes come up quite big as well.
That's the only reason why I've never really
bought from Reese before.
Yeah, love the quality of Reese.
I absolutely love it for menswear.
I think, oh, just amazing.
I love it when Tom wears an all Reese outfit.
I can tell when he's wearing Reese.
Very smart, very sophisticated, and timeless as well.
It's nothing that will date.
So I picked up for myself my biggest purchase of the day,
and it is this gorgeous gray coat.
So I'm gonna be careful here,
because I've got swatches on my hand,
and I do not want to get it on this coat.
But as you can tell, it's this gorgeous,
really light gray color, which is perfect for me.
I wear a lot of this kind of color.
It goes well with creams, and whites, and dark colors.
So I just think it's gonna be a good staple for me,
and brilliant as well for if I need to wear a coat
for a smart occasion as well.
I've got now a high-end one.
So love this.
I've got it in a size UK6.
Again, I did say the size has come up quite big,
I personally think.
It was reduced from 295 pounds down to 195 pounds,
with another 10% off that.
So for me, it made it worthwhile,
because I did say to myself going there last night,
I said I'm after a good quality coat.
Because as much as I love the other coats that I have,
they're all like high street prices.
So they're all sort of 50 pounds or less.
So I wanted a good staple, very smart coat
for nice, smart occasions that I can go to.
I'm not gonna plan on ballooning in size anytime soon,
so hopefully it will fit me forever.
And love the fit of it.
The design of it, it's nice and long,
so it covers, it's warm enough and it keeps you,
just goes to above the knees.
So love it, I'm in love, I'm in love.
Lastly, I did pick up a couple of bits for Tom
to go into his Christmas stocking.
And I know that he's not got a black tie,
so I just picked one up from Reece, obviously from Reece.
It was reduced down from 55 pounds down to 20 pounds,
with the 10% off that.
And then I also picked up a few pocket squares for him.
I got four in total, a black one which he doesn't own.
These were all 15 pounds and 10 pounds.
Two of them were 15, two were 10.
So I've got this kind of like light blue denim-y color.
This pink and cream, very light pocket square.
And then also this like darker kind of denim color
and black and cream, like I said.
Black and cream, it's kind of like my sofa.
So yeah, I picked them up for him just to open,
because I couldn't go there without getting him
something other than an advent calendar.
I did say I picked up some housey bits for the both of us,
but I did want to pick him up
something as well for Christmas.
I do have a trip planned in with World Duty Free
at the airport, so I'm going to be going there
and doing a bit of a shop.
I don't know whether to vlog it or not yet,
so let me know what you think.
If you want to see another video in a similar style to this
but at the airport, they are hosting a few bloggers,
putting us up in an airport hotel for the night,
at Radisson, I think it is.
And they're allowing us to go and do some shopping
at Duty Free, which is incredible.
I kind of had that in mind for Christmas shopping,
but went to Cheshire Oaks yesterday, finished it off,
and I've done now, so I'm able to maybe treat myself,
which I did do here as well, but you know, we'll see.
I'll see what they've got.
I might even do like some kind of a giveaway
or gifts for friends, something like that.
So if you want to vlog and haul video from that trip,
let me know below if you like this kind of style video.
If you've not seen already my other videos,
I have mentioned that I'm going to be vlogging more
in the new year, so all these trips that I go on
as a blogger, I will be able to film them for you
so you can get a bit more of a real insight to my life
and what goes on in my day-to-day activities
and day-to-day vlogging kind of style videos.
Let me know if you're interested in that video
at the airport and I will film it for you.
But as for now, this is everything that I've got.
Thanks again so much for Cheshire Oaks
for inviting me down last night.
I had such a fab time.
Brilliant to meet Em Sheldon,
and again, I'll leave her channel list below
if you don't already know her, which of course you do.
And yeah, I'll see you again next time.
Bye guys.
