Green eyed monster & carboot sales

Here is a look i wore at home the other day which i really like. I was dressed really comfy in jeans and a slouchy top so dressed it up with some bright looking eyes.
The two colours are clinique peacock which is a gorgeous greeny turquoise really stunning colour with a little mac deep blue green pigment. ( at least i think that's what its called lol )
I used a little pixie apoxy as a base which really makes the colours look vibrant


Sorry about the silly face

Big lashes not my favourite ones by a long way


I picked up this top at a car boot sale for £1.50 its from H & M. I always have to hide my bargains that i get from car boot sales from my husband because he thinks I'm mad for the way i love car boots and rummaging.
I don't care i love it. I think it stems back from being a kid and mum use to take me around the charity shops with her. We never had much money but she always looked so glam. I am definitely not a snob with these types of things lol
In fact the other day i couldn't believe it when i found a new smashbox primer (mini size) and a bare minerals skin rever upper. Both items were brand new , the skin rever upper was 30ml full size and i paid £1.50 for the two. Admittedly its rare i find things like that. I think even if i was a millionaire i would still do it.

 Do you enjoy car boots or would you not be seen dead at one??? I understand if you hate them most of my friends think i am mad but then they often ask me where i got something and are always gobsmacked if i say it came from a car boot or market. Anyway hope you are having a great day Yaaaaay its friday xx

  1. Omg, I love car boot sales! Lol, you can seriosuly find some good things, my friend paid £2 for a body shop lipgloss- brand new, and in the shop it's like £12.
    I also like selling stuff at car boot sales, it's so much fun and a good way to make some cash on the side esp if you're a poor student like me, lol.

  8. Hey Nic, I loooooove this look! You're gorgeous, and if there were car boots sales here in Italy I would love to go there to get some bargains. Of course you have to be careful what you choose, but that is not more risky than buying on ebay, right?
