ok, so today after a long & boring week at work i planned to go to the gym then go on a big spend up at the nearby shopping centre. On returning from the gym and realising it was actually really really hot and too hot to be cooped up in a huge shopping centre i decided to go for the lazy option of going to the local shops down my road instead.
My favourite was probably the bangle collection. Really cool and just as nice as the ones i've seen in shops a lot more expensive. And what about that necklace! In the sale for just £4 its like a collar. Full of charms Leaves, flowers, hearts, pearls, roses... really pretty (but very heavy).
And i'm a sucker for special offers. First of No.7 was on 3 for 2. I've have quite a lot of products from this brand and think the quality is really lovely. i bought a tinted moisturiser for my sister (I already have one and its my essential summer foundation). I got the Limited edition Beach beautiful eye palette. I kind of collect the limited editions from no.7 and the aqua green eye shadow is beautiful (picture doesn't do it justice). I also bought on a whim the instant radiance beauty balm, which claims to be 'an instant pick me up for tired looking skin'that you put on under make up for a healthy glow. I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes.
I've heard so much about the beautyUK palettes from Superdrug. They are under £3 each and each have 10 eyeshadows in. I got palette 1 (everyday pastel colours) & 2 (bright vibrant colours). I wasn't expecting much from them but was intrigued from what i'd heard.Once i got back i did some quick swatches of the colours and already i'm impressed- such strong pigmentation and really nice texture. Wow! good bargain :)
This didn't stop the spending! Oh no, i was determined :)
So, first off i popped into Dorothy Perkins. It's only a tiny one but an accessories stand full of sale items caught my eye.
I got 2 pairs of (huge & colourful) earrings and 2 rings all with 70% of so it cost me £7.10 all together. Very happy, and all great for the summer.
So next up more accessories from Peacocks. Here i decided to fuel my current gold obsession. If it was big and gold i bought it....

On i went feeling i was on somewhat of a roll i headed to boots....

Also in boots i got a really pretty blusher called 'Bramble frost' from 17. I used to use this range all the time as a teenager, and havent used their stuff in ages, but this blusher is the most gorgeous colour- a really soft peachy pink which i hope will be perfect for my fair complexion. And buying 3 of their products also got me a freebie too. Which was nice.
My last stop was Superdrug.

I got a couple of goodies from Sleek also. I can't recommend this brand enough. Cheap, but really good products. The eyeshadow palettes are quite literally amazing and the volume and curl mascara is also a favourite. So i got one of those mascara's in blue for a change and also a face & body highlighter palette in peachy shimmer -the colours are proper amazing can't wait to try.
And last but not least i bought some Bourjois bits (it was 3 for 2 and i'm weak) I got liner glitter fizz which is a liquid liner in a forest kind of green with glitter, and i also got rouge hi-tech water based liptint in 84 rose pixel. This is a beautiful colour and after food and drink it's still lasting on my lips so it gets the thumbs up so far. Woohoo.
