Come shop with me NEW SEPHORA at Trafford Centre Manchester Vlog

hello guys welcome back to my channel welcome back to a brand new video I hope you guys are all doing really really well sorry for the hour breath I've literally just ran up the stairs to go grab this camera and bring you back upstairs I am as you can tell lights are on and I'm going to go to the traffic center today what better way to go to the traffic center when it's dark miserable wet outside hence the lights on and it's literally been tipping it down I have a brand campaign which is kind of like Garden suited um I just simply can't film I've checked the weather forecast it says 100% rain all day today tomorrow is wet as well and potentially the day after that as well so anyway I thought what better time to head to the traffic center I'm hoping that not everyone has that same idea and it is a weekday so I hopefully it will be a bit quieter but I wanted to head to the new seph a that has opened at the traffic center and definitely glad I didn't um head down during the manic chaotic opening couple of days because I was looking at the socials and it was just cues and cues and cues of people even Tom went a couple of days after it opened and he said there was probably about 300 people in the queue still and that was just after the opening so I'm just praying that it's not like that today and I am going to get there nice and early and um so it opens in half now I'm going to head over now I'm also going to go to Costco wat some there cuz I need to pick up a couple of topups of things like toilet roll little bits so I might take you there as well we'll see where we go got hendu coming up so I might pop into Zara and see if there's anything new in I want to maybe take with me for outfits wise for that hu which is over a few days and yeah we're all good to go I wanted to show you my perfume that I've been wearing lately especially on a day like today where it is a bit moody or in the evening the tamine or theine I'm not quite sure how you pronounce I've always said theine but my friend says tamine so it's throwing me off so maybe it's tamine I'm not sure but this is their scent in carved oud so it's like I said nice and udy and deep and musky and I love it but when you've got freshly washed hair oh it doesn't have to be freshly washed but when I have this perfume one I like to pop that hair fragrance on it's got keratin in it as well and this one is the same scent carved D so obviously it works well with the perfume and I just put a few sprits of that and the ends of my hair so yeah I love that anyway we're going to get on the road I feel like I've been wearing this outfit on repeats the uniclo built and bra um racer tops which I actually bought a couple more of because I love it that much and some cream jeans these are old from evain they have similar but um I have some similar options linked on my ltk if you wanted to see some Alternatives which I'll leave my ltk down below and then because it is raining but it's not cold I feel like I need something I might pop on a Blazer maybe do we go with a little Zara green one like my uniform honestly I have a house uniform for when I'm working from home which usually involves comfies Lululemon leggings that kind of thing joggers and then I have a work outfit for like if I'm popping out to uh like the traffic Center or town I'm like yeah just Blazer T simple simple let me turn the light so you can see true representation look how dark it is it's so dark so you can see a bit of a better sort of color of this Blazer it's quite old but they have similar on Zara so yeah I'm excited to see there's a couple of things online that I've seen on Zara that I want to maybe oh that's my phone H get my hands on in terms of heels so I'm hoping they have them in store so that I can try them on and see how they fit but for one of the nights for our hendu it's like sparkly so yeah we'll see what they have in but if not even just some nice sparkly shoes uh could be a good option so we will go we'll have a look I think bag of choice I'm going to take a cross body cuz I like to be handy three and I'm feeling incredibly inspired having had my color analysis done uh not too long ago which if you saw my last Vlog you'll have seen hold on I need to sneeze yeah I'm feeling incredibly inspired to get some cool toned makeup products from Sephora a couple of beauty bits maybe even some travel bits as well because the hu is Broad maybe pick up some minis if they've got some and it'll give me a chance to test some new bits out yeah we've got a little day strap that I like to switch out from this one that comes with the bag no we have it I feel like I might be a bit warm just when it's so miserable and raining outside it feels uh too foreign to be going out in just a little vest top anyway love a little outfit of the day today and I'm just going to pop on some trainers which one's we going to go for my VES are quite comfy my chunky vages these ones so I might wear them change of plan we're going to Brave it with Birkin stocks despite the rain might regret this choice but I feel like the Green in these ones the kind of like taupe color works really well with the Blazer so and also I feel like I'm going to be a bit too hot so it'll help keep me a little bit cooler if I'm wearing my Barkin stocks [Music] don't need someone to save me and don't come run a blame me from miles away I can tell there something's off the way you look and how you pause when you talk I think I said enough you said you love for me something so I thinking head to my Sparkle night these could be a good option if I want to go for like jeans in a tea if you can see on the light there they're super super pretty these ones are let's have a look $69.99 that one might be a bit too warm for jeans cuz I think it's still going to be like 25 to 30° so um but it is an option and then these shoes as well so so gorgeous they've got quite a few different styles with glitzy bits on so I might have a bit of a try on and see which ones I like and maybe treat myself to a new pair of shoes cuz obviously you can rewear these time and time again um they're quite wearable despite them being quite sparkly yeah so pretty these are the other two options um I'll leave both linked but I think the heel height on these are quite a bit more and also I feel like my foot's slipping out of them a little bit so I think I'm going to go with the other ones but these are so honestly so so [Music] pretty do here we are in a car let me see who you are definitely going to buy these shoes absolutely love them and nice low heel height for me and yeah nice and comfy they stay on really well so so pretty and can definitely rewear them and then I would never have thought to pick up a like gray dress like this for sparkly night but having done my colors with um like my color analysis and this color kind of suiting me I thought I'm going to give it a go we'll try it on I have got this bag as well but I think then that's a bit too much so if I don't like the dress I'm thinking maybe if I get the bag and the shoes and then maybe just wear like a simple dress and that be my glits there's a really nice sparkly like gitzy dress that with just a little touch of sequin which I wanted to try on halter neck so so pretty but it is bright white and I don't know if it's a bit too Bridal seem I'm not the hen on the hen do you know so we'll try this one on anyway we'll see what we think so now to the dress I feel like it's a bit too skimpy and Scratchy for me I can feel it scratching under my arms a little bit and I feel like that might annoy me but otherwise I think it's just because it's mini I'm not used to mini it's like short and low um so I think I'm going to leave the dress on this [Music] occasion just come into plumber and I'm just trying on this dress as an option I've just popped on the heels and bag with it as well just so I can see what it looks like as an outfit I love it but it's just a little too short for me I feel like oh maybe I'm just lacking confidence but it just feels like if I bend down the dress is up so yeah I just wish it was just that little literally just a couple of inches longer like to there and I'd be fine but it's just it's just too short unfortunately such a pretty color and again with my colorings going for more of like past I mean it's very warm the lights in here but more like pastel yellows as opposed to like a bright yellow like a neon yellow so yeah oh I was torn but I think talking it through I'm thinking it's too short but I like how it's not tight at the bottom can you see this is a large as well so I can't size up anymore it doesn't go any longer it's just H just too short can see it ahead and there's no Q which is good for me say you're sorry cuz if you're going to leave me then just do it don't take it slow don't be gentle I just got to know if you're going to leave me then just do [Music] my chlo sandals are in the sale but just the colors like the old season colors so I'm going to try on these ones I [Music] think oh you really do forget how miserable it could be outside when you're in the traffic center it's just like a world of its own it's the same though if it's really hot outside you just can't tell when you're in there anyway we are out I am oh my back Ballance is not liking me today because I bought quite a few bits I'll show you everything that I got when I get home but I think just before we head home I'm going to pop over the road to the Costco and there is also I think oh I didn't realize they waiting to park here oops got out of a vlogging camera someone was just parked up waiting they're driven past now though anyway um yeah I'm going to head over to Costco first although there is a Starbucks on I was thinking I need something it's 12 it's qu 12 haven't had a coffee or anything yet today so I'm feeling like I maybe need a drink to have in hand whilst roaming around Costco so we'll do that first but this weather W it's literally World apart from what it was last week two weeks ago we did a minute silence actually in there cuz it's was the anniversary of the Manchester attack the arena and it was the most bizarre like quite a moving thing as you're walking around a busy shopping center to all of a sudden everybody just stopped Stood Still and was just silent there was no music everyone was frozen it was almost like a glitch in the system a bit like Truman Show you know you just the place that you'd least expect to have everybody freeze is a busy shopping center like that and um but yeah it's the anniversary today I couldn't work out I was talking to a couple of girls on the stand that I was at at the time um after the minute silence trying to figure out how many years it's been I don't know I don't know hi we're going to get fire you hi please can I get a uh decu cortado decu cortado y I think that's it thank you that's everything yeah yeah thank you I couldn't decide whether or not to get a bite to eat for lunch but I'm trying to trying to be good there's nothing really here that's it's just like a well I just have a cheese toasty I think I could get a cheese toast what I'm not going to do though is have a piece of Costco pizza as they are there are naughty I always say everything in moderation but I have more of a sweet tooth so I would rather be healthy Savory and then not cut out like chocolate you know just have even if it's just one chocolate biscuit with a coffee just just something just ahead of the head during the uh wedding I feel like I could just benefit from toning up a little bit went for a run the other day which felt really good even though it was warm I've been for two runs this week actually um did a bit of yoga yesterday as well I'm trying to do 10,000 steps a day and we're feeling good for it we are feeling good so I think if I keep this up then I'll be able to just drop a couple of pounds ahead of the wedding not nothing drastic just feel a bit stronger especially with a Hu being abroad I'm like swimsuits it's been a while hi card yes thank you card uh card please thanks a lot bye time for Costco this is always such a sharp turnout of this Starbucks we're out we made it I see it in your eyes yeah I I can read the signs you need to get away these look interesting but they are huge sandalwood and burgot Amber and vanilla but they've not got any testers which I was hoping to give them a smell but they are home fragrances and they're a liter so yeah huge oh you know you'll always have me baby I will [Music] mushroom Chris are back I'm not going to get a pack just because I do eat way too much um but yeah really yummy and they've got these as well again if you're a truffle fan very delicious quite sickly quite full on quite intense just like the mushroom ones are but um nice for like when you got Gest over or something to pop in a bowl but again I'm going to resist today oh my goodness I'm drenched look too bad but I feel I feel wet through it is just not stopping there's no break when you come out the shop and you think oh do I wait for it to die down it ain't dying down anyway we've got a car full of stuff now can you see the obligatory toilet roll purchase and look at that back seat guys so I started acar Court of what's it called Court of th thorns and roses and I post a little story on my Instagram actually and a few of you were saying oh my God it's the best thing ever best thing ever and that's kind of what I keep hearing is the hype the hype the hype and I thought I don't know if I'm going to like it fantasy it's not my thing so I just bought the first book and then I'm about eight or nine chapters in and um I think I'm going to stick with it I think I'm going to stick with it cuz I have been enjoying it I'm not like obsessed with it or anything um and I'm only sort of like I say eight or nine chapters in so very near the start initially I thought this just sounds too complicated for me when I want to read I want to just Escape take it easy have a bit of a page Turner Thriller type book and I thought all these different like characters and fantasy and a fantasy a typical fantasy novel I just thought it's going to be too complex my little brain um but I'm I'm getting it and I'm following it and I am enjoying it and also a lot of you have said stick with it because book two and onwards it then gets better book one is basically a lot of World building with it being as fancy genre so I'm sticking with it so what I've done is I bought they were $29.99 for the box set so do we call a box set of of books a box set so yeah we've got the them all there so I'm committed now I am committed it's going to be a lot of reading especially for me with being a slow reader but I thought rather than buy each individual book it probably works out a bit cheaper if I just buy that for $29.99 and I can just obviously donate the um the one that I'm currently reading just the first book do I head home or do I go to TK Max which is it driveway it's like an exit off the motorway so I would have to drive there anyway should we have a little looking TK Max I can't resist a TK Max there used to be a home Senter here but it is officially closed down officially so maybe we should just take a trip to TK Max and hope that they've been delivered a load of really good stock from the homets closing down yeah let's do that I've talked himself into it work it out you'll see if we get in a car and drive someplace far yeah we could go for a ride the two of us we don't have to stop baby let's go for a [Music] ride you and I let us run away we can go where we want I'll have your back if you'll have M you and I you and I want to leave everything behind if you wanted to promise you we will be all right if it's you and I [Music] you we are back home I always feel like I miss Barney when I get back home and he's not here yeah he's at daycare probably having the best time ever and and definitely a good day to pop him in daycare with it being with it chucking it down but yes okay let me bring the things in I'm going to show you all the bits that I bought there's quite a bit guys so buckle up get a coffee if you're already out of coffee or tea whatever it is that you decide to have and I'll start with the Costco bits cuz I need to put some bits in the fridge so as you saw in the car I did decide to go for the the um set of books from um the acatar series I also picked up a salad which I need to pop in the fridge it's going to be my dinner for tonight look at the size of that brata it is well the salad itself is huge uh $5.99 for that then they now have this tuna if you've not heard me talk about this one before you can usually get them at like garden centers like usually really expensive um I remember like a little pot like this was about 8 or something so think how many you get in there and this whole thing was £13 so I decided to get that a good old block of L pack are cookies that we like to get although the packaging has changed oh here we go yeah same recipe new look so it is the same people um from the London Dough Company we just they keep them in the fridge section you can just pop them straight in the oven to have fresh cookies but we actually just keep them in the freezer so they're good for ages and just cook them from Frozen then I picked up some Apple tier just to pop in the drinks fridge and I also got some more of the ginger shots that they do and then last but not least for Barney got him this toy it's been a while since I've got him a new toy and this kind of burrowing toy is his favorite kind of toy he will literally play with this by himself he rarely plays with his toys but these he loves so it's the biggest one he's ever had so I'm going to shov all the dinosaurs back in there and then he just basically has to get them all out so yeah when I saw this and you know he is called Barney and he is a friendly dinosaur so that is for him that's better we're in our comfies now you can hear the rain on the roof which is actually really Cozy Coffee in hand I just love being at home so much let's just set that coffee aside once it cools down a little bit although I do quite like my coffee piping hot I'm that sort of person that fresh from the kettle I'm like y I'm sipping on it already let's start with the exciting one let's start with Sephora or as I've been calling it lately in my Vlogs Z Flora I want to say for the first time ever in the UK obviously I used to live in America although at that time I wasn't majorly into Beauty and skincare I feel like kids these days are far more into skin care especially than we ever were at that age so I lived in America when I was about 14 and yeah I quite liked Bath and Body Works alter we used to go to or like drugstore you know supermarket brands that was the kind of like the EOS lip balms all of the kind of American stuff that you couldn't get in the UK I was living in America going to school in the UK so I was able to get the American stuff from those Brands but yes Sephora I'm thinking is more higher end bit more luxury and also quite heavily skin care as well as makeup and like I said we just weren't that into it at that age but kids these days I don't know where that bank balance is coming from but wow um it's like Tom's nieces all they ask for for gifts and stuff is like drunk elephant first thing this I think this is the most expensive purchase I made from replica I love their their scents from Masen Marella their perfumes some of my absolute favorite they do home fragrance as well I've had candles in the past but this is their new scent which is called from the garden and as you can tell by that image with a little bowl of tomatoes the scents are fragrance description is Earth and tomato leaves I like Vine tomatoes from delord that's kind of the scent I also got myself a new tangle teaser I have the wet one in like a light pink which I love and my other one it's kind of broken so I use it every day my tangle teasers so I decided to get a new one because as well they had the beige colored one not that that should make decision easier but it did for me so we have a brand new tangle teaser these guys are the best and so much better now that they've got handles as well yeah that feels so much better than the one that I had that's a bit broken basically all of these uh silicon teeth at the top are all bent 1550 then I also picked up a beauty Blender at £750 I don't know why they didn't create these sooner in this color because it is basically the color of foundation so it doesn't look as grubbing when you use it it just is always this color I was very excited to get my hands on this and I had a little try in store just on the back of my hand and wow it looks like it's going to be stunning so this is the soft pinch luminous powder blush from rare Beauty first ever item owned from rare Beauty I mean apparently it's good enough for Sabrina whether or not she actually uses this blush obviously she has that heavily blushed look that I just think is so nice we've got similar coloring with the blonde the blue the darker eyebrows so the way that does her heavier blush I've been getting into which is basically instead of just literally doing it on the apples of my cheeks I kind of drag it across my nose and for like more of a sun-kissed look so yeah this color is the one that I went for for look at the pearlescent oh it's going to be so so pretty I'll do a little Swatch although it pains me to go straight into a brand new one but with not much product on my finger there look at that I'll have to maybe in my next Vlog actually use it and show you it so that you can see it in use same with this from drunk elephant I decided to go for the gold drops I've got the bronzing drops and I do like them but they definitely add color whereas these I I think especially if I'm if I don't have much Tan on and a bit paler I think these will be nicer for me as a base on more of like an everyday basis just show you your tiniest amount cuz you don't need much and it's expensive so I don't want toar waste it again look at the Shimmer imagine that over your entire face and sort of deage area just Blends out beautifully but so so pretty a real nice Sheen not glittery at all I wanted to try the gizo oil I heard great things I thought I'd pick up a mini with us going away and we've got like a holiday coming up as well oil goes a long way you only need like a tiny bit but I'm such a religious user of oil Moroccan oil is probably my favorite but yes yet to try this one so honey infused hair oil I will be taking this away with me as a good little travel size and I tend to just pop that on the ends of my hair and then speaking of another travel sized hair product the color Dream Coat my hairdresser uses this on me and I really like it so I might purchase the big one but I thought for now I'll get the travel take it with me for hendu wedding holiday see how I get on with it and then if if I like it then I'll get the big fulls size one as well another travel size product to take with me I always have to have dry shampoo even on freshly washed hair I use dry shampoo it kind of helps your hair last longer so I wash my hair once or twice a week and yeah as soon as I've styled it even after freshly washing it I always just Spritz a little bit of dry shampoo in the RO so this one is the living proof one really really good and then I also got a little mini of the cleansing balm how cute is this no col cleansing one from Elm it's one of my favorites this one smells so good I'm using the green fig one at the moment in my bathroom but it's a good little sized pot to have for your makeup remover while you go away and also you can just refill this pot keep it and reuse it so yeah that's that that's everything that I got from Zora I'll leave all of these items linked below along with the other bits that I'll share with you too so that if you do want to go ahead and purchase any some of them not all the links but some of them have a little Commission on there so that's essentially what affiliate marketing is if you didn't already know that's how I do my job as a full-time job so any link any that you purchase through one of my links I get like it's usually pennies to P like a couple of pounds or whatever depending on the amount you spend it's also nice to know for me to be able to track what items that you like and things that seem to be popular through my links I know that right okay they're into more homewor or they're into more fashion or neutral fashion or colors or makeup beauty skin care whatever it may be so it keeps me creating content that you guys like anyway I'm going to go to sulfides now and show you what I got from there Charlotte Tilbury and Fenty Beauty I had these both on my list of things I wanted to try so firstly from Fenty Beauty this is called this one of their match sticks and good for contouring and it's in the shade Amber so it's a really nice cool toned Contour uh I did pop a little bit on my cheeks in store but it's a really nice like I say cool toned bronzer look at that you can use obviously on your eyes Contour um and it's just so so pretty Blends out really easily that is actually from boots Fenty the only place you can shut Fenty into ra Center is boots I really wanted to try the beauty light wand and this one is in the shade I was torn between Pillow Talk which is really nice for the cheeks or this one which is Spotlight which is definitely more suited to like a brighter highlight there she comes so that's it there little bit on my cheeks so that you can see cuz I love the iconic London Illuminating drop I think this is far easier to blend out it's so pretty look at that highlight oh my gosh love it and that with the rare Beauty blush as well and I also popped into Kiko and wow I have a really went to all the beauty places today um I got two things from Kiko two lip products of which I got number four this their 3D Hydra lip gloss really pretty again pinky but pearlescent pinky color see I've always been more drawn to the oranges but then having done my color analysis realized I'm far more cool toned um cool light muted is my kind of complexion so I am better suited to the more pinky Shades um and then I also got this in 402 this lipstick because I thought it was quite a nice um color to wear as a base if I wanted to wear lipstick with the gloss on top dayto day I think I would wear this bit of lip liner and then this my lip liner that I like to use at the moment is Charlotte Tilbury iconic nude but again Pillow Talk is another good color for me how nice is that such a pretty shade really really happy with that one from sries I also picked myself up a brand new pair of bcon stocks and these ones Tom actually showed me he's got some of these new style and I think they look really good and I actually thought when I said to him I thought they'd be better suited to men when I saw them in sages I thought let me just try a pair on love them so they are a bit they're kind of like a hybrid between the double strap and the like the Boston and the arizonas this one is a really nice pretty kind of like cool toned T gray um yeah like a gray white I would say did treat myself to one other pair of Summer sandals because I wore my other ones so much over the last couple of years the Chloe sandals I brought out the new colors and I was tempted to get another pair of the ones I already had and I thought that's just silly but the other ones that I have just don't look as fresh anymore so I'm going to try and have them properly cleaned um but yeah they are in the sale so I'll leave those ones linked as well the cream ones with the black writing now the difference with these ones and why they're a little bit more expensive as well because they're a newer style they've got essentially the Chloe part is actually embroidered as opposed to my other ones my cream with the black Chloe they the black Chloe is more like a transfer whereas this is actually stitched into the shoe so yeah it looks I feel like it's just got a slightly elevated look to it I think this one will be for me more of a classic like white Summers dress I live in white dresses throughout summer black as well black would work really nice with these sandals um Navy which apparently is better suited to me as opposed to black a little Navy dress with these as well and a nice tan bag if ever I'm going to an occasion where I want to be in a sandal it's nice to have a dressier air as you saw from Zara I got this bag which I thought would just be ideal for our sparkly night on the henu and also just for any other kind of evening occasion also has like an inner pouch where you can pop your purse your lipstick whatever you want to pop and then within that bag they had this in black as well I I just thought the nude goes with the shoes better these I'm just in love with so again one that I could definitely wear for multiple occasions and I did size up to a size seven in these firstly I tried them on with my foot um within that part and then as a sling back which worked but then I popped on as a strap over the foot which I think is meant to be that way um it fit better in terms of not going to slide off my foot but if you want to wear it that way you can still wear it that way as well and I also popped into ABAC and I saw this dress and I thought this would be a lovely dress one of the nights that we've got for the hu is like boho so Linens that kind of thing I saw this and I thought yeah I'll pick this up I didn't actually try this on in store though so I'm going to have to try it on first um and see if I like it on me but I got it in a medium adjustable straps it is linen it's quite thick though in terms of it's double lined so it's not a sheer at all and yeah it's just a nice short mini with a zip up the side I think this is going to be one that I wear quite a lot throughout summer even just around the house you know there a throw up for when it's really really hot and you just want a really light floaty short dress it's got the stretchy back as well so nice and comfortable and yeah really nice kind of dark beige that one hopefully that will be my boho night dress I think and I might even wear these again with it or I'll take some flat sandals in case we go a bit more cash the second night and then last but not least I got um a couple of bits from TK Maxx and I actually picked up a dress which I'm thinking to wear with the uh heels and the bag for Sparkle night um it's just a simple black satiny uh short again so a midi uh mini sorry dress it's from Hollister originally now it isn't a large but I do think Hollister well in fact I know Hollister sizing is quite small I remember from working there we used to say that I think a large was about size 12 so yeah it a large is fine for me and I just wanted it nice and floaty and comfy it's got a kind of crossover strap again the straps are tiny tiny straps but they are actually adjustable and it's just a simple cow back it's actually quite similar to the bridesmaid dress that I'm wearing um which I got from abber cromi um again in black cuz it's black thae wedding that we're going to um and yeah but this is like a shorter version so I thought that with the glits will be my Sparkle out bit and then a couple of other bits that I also picked up um some gift cards or gift bags I should say I love getting these kind of size gift bags just because they're so handy to have um gift cards in you know if you were to buy a gift card for someone or maybe just a little mini box of Hotel CH chocolates or something that fit in there it's just yeah really handy to have and I already have this wrapping paper from Emma Bridgewater downstairs um good for boys good for Christmas but yeah £149 that one was the little blue stars and then I thought this was so pretty so it's a set so you get the gift bag itself which how gorgeous is that design purpley blue like a corn flower blue flower um with some yellow ones in there as well and then this is just the label it's like a double layered with a stage green label underneath and then it comes with a gift card as well it's from Laura Ashley originally um so yeah the fact that it comes with the gift card with it as a set I thought that was lovely £349 that one and lastly a candle and how beautiful is this candle this I think will burn really really well in here and it's Garden viina do you know what that will go really nicely with my the red diffuser that I've just bought from replica they did have two of these candles and I was tempted to get both and I'm kind of regretting not getting both now yeah that'll be my next candle to burn in here $8.99 from Sand and fog so there we have it that's my extensive haul shopping spree that I have done today I hope you guys have enjoyed coming with me and seeing the the new Zora I need to stop saying that or else I'm really going to get confused but yeah let me know of these items which your favorite and if you do shop anything via those links please do let me know so I can thank you personally and I will love you and leave you I
