An "I Miss You" Haul

So I had my lovely friend Pam visit me this weekend. I was sad to see her go today, this inspired some retail therapy. This weekend I bought more than I know I should have, couldn't help it though - it's like a compulsion/addiction with me.

Pearl Drops tooth polish as I am currently obsessed with the idea of dazzling white Hollywood style teeth. Johnson's 3 in 1 eye make-up remover as I've decided I'm over the Simple one. The Comforter solid perfume from Lush as it smells, well, lush! Also got some Lush Soak n float and Mask of Magnamity to try.

I bought two copies of Glamour magazine for the Nails Inc give away this weekend the colours Shoreditch, Victoria & Albert.

Also pictured is Benefit Coralista that I felt left out with all the raving about it, so gave in and took advantage of the £5 I had on my beauty club card and the 10% off in Debenhams and bought myself one, I'm now in with the Coralista crowd phew!

To the right are the set of 5 Beauty Box glitter eyeliners I bought. I was sad to see they didn't have shade names so I took it upon myself to name the colours: L-R Clandestine, Twinkle, Purple Haze, Hawaii, Dollar Bill.

Speaking of the Debenhams 10% off deal, I finally got around to getting the Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash the colours included in the set: Top to Bottom, Stash, Ransom, Graffiti, Rockstar, Binge, Corrupt, Oil Slick, Zero, Eldorado.

Last but not least I treated myself to some cheap costume jewellery a couple of statement rings from Primark at under £3.00 each and some diamanté hoop earrings that were I think maybe £2.00 at the most. The embellished alice band is from Claire's Accessories and is priced at £7.00. Also pictured is a Hello Kitty compact mirror and "Fame" necklace which my Mum got me today also from Claire's Accessories.

So that is it, a video showing these products in more detail will hopefully be available via my Youtube channel as of tomorrow sometime.

Until then, take care and chat to you again soon.

Adding to the collection


Today, I went on a mission - find new bargains to add to the 'beauty kit' I managed to find make-up brushes, eyelash adhesive and a few other bits and pieces all cheap as chips.

I went to Trago Mills in Newton Abbot with my Mum where I got a standard black tool box for £5.99 and this is now my very organised nail tools and supplies kit. I also bought some false lashes in case I do find the motivation to head out for Halloween, I got some funky pink and black ones for the occasion. I picked up a storage drawer thing to put my most used cosmetics in, like my MAC, Urban Decay, YSL etc etc.

Then there was the super cute Hello Kitty necklace I got in a quaint little jewellery shop where I also found a pair of awesome retro looking earrings. In a shop called Buyology I found some other make-up related bargains in the shape of more make-up brushes which included an angled eyeliner brush for £1.49.

Oh I just need to back track a moment, I also bought some false nail tips in white and natural finishes for the nail kit from Trago that cost less than £2.00 each!

Anyway, back on track:

I went to a shop called Chaplins and got a Nailene artificial nail remover kit for about £2.99 and a cute little diary for 2010. I also picked up some Q-tips, make-up remover wipes and cotton pads.

Am really happy with what I got today, it's nice to treat yourself when you have the chance. It was also absolutely lovely just to spend a day out with my Mum, which just added to how nice a day it was.
