mini sales haul

Skirt - Topshop (£10), Floral Headband - Topshop (£7ish), Fingernail Rings - Topshop (£6ish), Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - Boots (£9.99), Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush - Boots (£6.99), Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - Debenhams (£20), Purse - Topshop (£7ish),Lancôme  Hypnôse Doll Eyes Gift Set - (£13ish)
(Sorry about all the 'ishs'.. I bought some of these things a while ago & my memory isn't the best!)

Does anyone else think the sales have been a bit rubbish this year?! I haven't really seen any amazing deals.. I always feel like Christmas & birthday spends should be used for a special treat. More often than not it just gradually disappears until I end up with 10 things from Primark that I really didn’t need. This year I wanted to only spend if I found something that was really worth it. I’ve been drooling over the Jeffrey Campbell Coltranes for months so they are an option.. Do I really need another pair of shoes though?! Probably not! 

The bits I did get I love! I treated myself to a few beauty items even though they weren’t sale buys. I had been wanting to add to my collection of Real Techniques brushes for a while so they had to be added to my Boots basket. The Urban Decay Naked palette probably wasn’t a necessity but I’ve been lusting after it since it came out. I’m a neutrals kind of girl so it’s perfect for me. The last beauty item, a cute Lancôme set was a little New Year’s Day present from my mamma.. what a babe.

I always think Topshop is a bit hit & miss in the sales but I did find this beaut of a skirt. I cannot cope going into shops that have stock that I've never seen in the shop & hasn't been fashionable for years. Do they think we’re daft?! Ha. Anyway, the skirt was a good find.. it’s checked, pleated & velvet. Hello combination of dreams.

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...

PERSONAL SHOPPING AT TOPSHOP | PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS

Image
Party season is the moooost wonderful time of the year, so when Topshop invited me in to check out their personal shopping service I was more than excited. As much as I love getting dolled up, I find the whole process of outfit hunting stressful – I’m pretty particular, so it usually takes me forever! Not only that, but I got to try the personal shopper experience in Topshop at Meadowhall… I love anything that’s blogging related and local! It’s nice to know that the rest of the country hasn’t been forgotten about, and we can all have an extra special shopping treat. I’ve been to a couple of personal shopping events before, and the team at Topshop didn’t disappoint! I was greeted with some dream boat outfits that the lovely Kirby, my personal stylist, had picked out for me. She found me so many pieces that were just my sort of thing! That’s all part of the service - you just give them a call, let them know what you’re after, tell them your size and they’ll do all the faffy...
