Boxing Day/Christmas Haul 2013

For some reason Blogger won't let me type in the 'compose' section when creating a new post, so I haven't been able to blog for a while. Then I did some research trying to fix and see if anyone else has this problem and the only thing that seemed different was to change the browser. I was using Chrome but I just downloaded Firefox and it's working! So from now on I'm going to still use Chrome and check back every now and then, but use Firefox solely for blogging :)

Boxing day was a few weeks ago now, but I thought I'd share what I got, this was basically all Christmas money minus a few things and most of it was on sale. I'll do my best to remember the prices.

All up this was around $200 I think. I know this amount seems excessive, but it was basically my Christmas present from my parents and I am reallyyy grateful for everything I was able to receive.

 

 These two things I bought with my own money, the Le Tan application mitt and the Bondi Sands tanning foam in light to medium. They were both 40% off at Priceline at the time and I think the mitt was around $5 and the foam was around $12. (Just a heads up, since then I have used the dark tanning foam and I like it a lot more)

 

I think I also purchased these with my own money, they were full price ($15) and I wore them over my birthday/new years eve and they were from Priceline as well. I'm hoping to do a review of this brand soon because I love them.

 

 This OPI set was on sale for $12 at Myer. It has 3 mini liquid sand polishes, 2 light pink and 1 purple. I don't buy the mini ones because I feel like they wouldn't last too long but it was only $12 for 3 and I thought they would make a good tester.

 

Lush was having 50% some of their stuff, but because I already got a few things on and before Christmas day I decided I would hold back even though I would love to own the entire shop! haha So I ended up getting a 100g Rose Jam shower gel and a Golden Wonder bath bomb (the one that looks like a yellow and white present)

 

T2 wasn't having any sales (as far as I saw anyway) but I absolutely LOVE their strawberries and cream ice tea when they have samples in the shop, so I decided to give it a go myself. I'm glad I did because it is so refreshing! I think this box was $13. And in case anyone is interested, the way I make this tea is I boil the kettle, put 1 - 1.5 teaspoons in a tea strainer and 1 sugar in the cup, poor the boiling water in the cup, let it sit for 10 mins and shake the strainer after 5 mins and then put it in the fridge. About 1 - 2 hours later the tea is nicely chilled and it tastes delicious!

 

 This bracelet was from Ally Fashion. It reminded me of the bracelets from Goldmark but it was much cheaper. This was on sale (30% off) for around $3.

 

From The Body Shop I bought this gift set. They had all their Christmas products on sale but I couldn't pick just one, then I saw this chocolate set half price for $22 so I decided to buy it. It contains body butter, body scrub, lip butter and shower gel. And they all smell like chocolate.. need I say more? haha

 

From Forever New I got this bag on sale for I think around $20, it reminds me of the Celine bags (which I definitely can't afford) but I am really happy with this one!

 

This is the best time of the year to get new bras. Bras n Things have soo much on sale and for really cheap too! I got two bras for 15, one for 10 and 1 for 20. So four bras for $60 and they are the comfiest bras and last the longest, so that is why I'm sharing this with you haha

 

 

I got this top and Skirt from Chic a Booti. The top was $12 and the skirt was $10.

 

Ally Fashion was having a 30% off storewide sale, so I got this top for around $15 and these shorts for around $10.

 

From Tightrope I got this playsuit for $20, I can't wait to wear this to the beach!

 

A few days after Boxing day the sales were still on and so I went shopping again and got these Peter Alexander slippers for $20 and a Cotton On Body sleep top for $10. (Picture taken from my Instagram)

I hope you enjoyed reading about my haul!
