TAX TIME!!!! Shopping Haul

This year I actually got a bit of tax back so after doing the smart thing and putting a large percentage of it on my credit card I took the rest out for a bit of retail therapy.

Firstly I stopped in Minotaur because I knew they had these bendy Classic Batman toys and I had been eyeing off the Catwoman for ages.

I couldn't believe my luck when while I was in there I spotted a lone Valkyrie figure!

Of course I just had to get her, there was only one and though she was a bit pricey the female figures are really hard to find.

 I stopped off at Dan Murphy's to get a bottle of Aperol as I had fallen in love with Italian Spritzers over Christmas and wanted some at home to make them myself.

I also picked up a small bottle of Crystal Skull Vodka because... well.. LOOK AT IT!

 My new obsession is Lush so of course I stopped off in there, I picked up a shower gel because I heard such great things about them, and I really liked the scent of this one (Dirty Spring Wash), I also picked up a lip scrub because my lips really need as much moisture as they can get and a scrub would really help, Popcorn smells and tastes fantastic!

I also picked up another Lip Service lip balm for my bag, as I had found out the day before that I had just landed a new temporary contract and wanted to keep one on hand.

 I stopped off briefly in Big W to get a new bra (not pictured) and some new towels, being all sensible and grown up like, and found the cutest little pair of star shorts on clearance for 50% off.

I also (after months and months of trying to find her in every toy or department store I went in) FINALLY found Howleen Wolf. Clawdeen Wolf (from Monster High's) little sister.

 She originally came out in a two pack with her bigger sister, and I loved her orange Mohawk but didn't really like the version of Clawdeen. I also didn't really like Howleen's dance class look when she finally came out in a single pack. I loved her 13 wishes look but could never find the doll, then I saw people picking up this budget pack creepateria doll of her but again couldn't find her for the longest time. I also managed to pick up the Big sister Clawdia Wolf at the toy sales but there were no Howleens, so I was really happy to have finally found her. Now I just need the brother Clawd.

 

Although this wasn't with my tax money, I also finally got enough funds together to subscribe to LootCrate and will be getting the August box (my first one) some time after the 20th August.

 I really wanted this months as they have been promising a POP! Exclusive and as I love the POP! figures I can't wait to get my hands on whatever it is.

I'll put a review up sometime after I get it, but post from the US can take up to 4 weeks.
