Primark Homeware Wishlist Haul for September

Primark always provide the cheap and alternative goodies for your wardrobe, beauty bag and home. Changing homeware items every season can be costly unless you shop around a bit for the best offers.  I’ve picked some items that will work through the transition from summer to autumn and beyond.

 

Primark homeware

Heart shaped mirror with lights £12 – So cute! Great for a bathroom or bedroom revamp. Thinking this would be good for my daughter’s bedroom.

Copper Wire Heart Lights £4 – I’m really into getting different lights up at home at the moment. These carry on the heart theme perfectly!  Read More

Flamingo Candles Haul

In case you didn’t know already, we’re HUGE Flamingo Candles fans here at V&L. We’re so lucky to get products to review but that doesn’t stop us from buying heaps of stuff from them.

They recently launched their WILD Collection, inspired by cool things from the 90s and whilst we’re not big fans of their new Dewberry scent and I know for sure I wouldn’t like their White Musk scent, Lemon Alcopop and Strawberry Millions were like made for me and the funky packaging just screams my name.
Now if only we could get body glitter gel, Baby G watches and tiny butterfly hair clips back in fashion. 😛

Sarah Lou Ltd SALE Haul

We’re big fans of Potters Crouch Candles here at V&L so when I noticed that our buddy Sarah Lou was having a wicked awesome sale, I knew I had to stock up.

Sarah Lou Ltd. is based in the UK and I’m based in Ireland which can mean expensive shipping costs for both parties, so having recently just signed up to AddressPal with An Post (the Irish postal system) I decided to try that out. Basically what it is is, if you live in Ireland and want to purchase from the UK they give you a UK address to use, your shopping gets delivered there and then brought to Ireland and you collect it at your local post office. It costs €3.50 per package, which you pay upon collection, and really that’s nothing compared to regular post or couriers.

So I gave it a go. Sarah Lou sent me a tracking number for the courier she uses and it showed that my package arrived at the UK address I was given this past Friday, then on Tuesday morning I got a text saying my package was ready for collection at my local post office. I was so shocked! It only took three working days!
So if you’re in Ireland and love online shopping than I can’t recommend this service enough, and no this post is not sponsored. I just want everyone to have nice things and not get screwed over on shipping expenses. I’m so happy I’ll be able to buy so many nice things from Sarah Lou all the time now. 🙂

So what did I buy?
