Latest Buys!

I thought I'd show you what i have been spending my pennies on lately and it's rather a random mix of clothes, accessories and a few house hold bits to add to the mix.


Feather Earrings Dorothy Perkins

Gold Necklace Dorothy Perkins

 Boots (I know its not boots weather but they were a bargain)

Grey Cardi Primark

All Saints Copy Chocolate dress

Urban Decay Polish Superdrug 99p sale :)

Black Patent Shoes & bag Next

White Dress

Beige Dress/top

Next Birdcage Light

Shoe Storage Ikea

Most of these items were picked up in the sale or from random cheapy shops. I'm most excited about my shoe storage and light shade which is for my new dressing room :)
It's brilliant to be able to pick out what i want at a glance rather than rummaging through boxes of shoes.

I plan on wearing the white dress and patent bag and shoes on Saturday as I'm going out for a meal and drinks which I'm really looking forward to. You might notice a lack of beauty product buys because I'm trying not to keep buying products when i have so many to use up.
Have a great day xx

5 £5 or less Bargain Beauty Buys Part 2

Seen as part 1 went down so well i thought I'd do a part 2 of Bargain Beauty Buys. After all we all love a bargain & at less than £5 these treats are affordable for every budget.

The first item on my list was spotted over at my gorgeous friend Miss Jones blog  
Found at Bodycare is this dupe for Benefit high beam. This little pot of shimmery loveliness costs just £1.99 opposed to the Benefit one at around £18.50 so a complete bargain.




2nd on my list is a treat for the hair. This intensive deep repair mask is just £2.95 from fragrance direct
I read a few great reviews on this and thought id give it a go. It smells gorgeous and using it once a week as a treatment leaves my hair feeling super soft and nourished. This works just as well as many other far more expensive treatments. Worth a go if you have dry ends and need a bit of TLC.


 BARGAIN ALERT ! Waterproof eyeliner. This one i am super excited to tell you about as this is an unbelievable find. I ordered this off ebay. Not expecting a lot as it cost just £1.27 yes unbelievable right? Anyway it is an amazing cream eyeliner. It's the blackest of blacks its the most smooth liner Ive ever come across and it doesn't budge once its on. I even use it on my waterline with no irritation or anything. Although obviously this is done at your own risk.


Swatches: Left is Avon supershock which people rave about how dark the colour is. On the right is this which is darker still :)

3rd on my bargain finds is this little spray perfume from AVON. I paid £2.50 for this. Its a gorgeous blend of Vanilla and juicy berries and it smells divine. Its a small size so fits perfectly in your bag for a night out. I've had loads of compliments when i wear this.



Last but not least is this pure coconut body oil which i got from savers for about £2. It smells absolutely gorgeous and leaves my skin really moisturised and silky and smelling sweet. I like to use an oil on my legs when I'm wearing fake tan as the sheen is quite flattering. If you don't have a savers you can get this online from Amazon for £2.20 here


That's it for part 2. Hope you like my bargain finds this time and if you see something you end up buying let me know what you think? Have a great weekend xx
