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 ...

Antique Pot, Silver - H&M & Pandora, Watch - c/o Shore Projects , Camera Case, iPad Case - eBay , Macbook Sleeve - eBay , Knitted Trousers - ZARA I guess I should probably be thinking ahead to SS15, but my head is still telling me to go for everything grey - my fave this season. Yeah it's probably been a bit over done now, but I still like it as a change from monochrome. There are a few bits thrown in this post that aren't 'new in' as such but there all things I'm not sure I've probably mentioned.  So grey wise - firstly it was the gadget related bits & bobs. I've included these because if you're bothered about your shoes you're bothered about that iPad looking cute. Ha. Well, for me I like to keep everything looking smart. I only ever buy stuff like this off eBay. Why would I spend £30 on a case that I can get for just over a fiver on there?! I'd been lusting over the mock-marble case for the Macbook (in true copycat...

 Cashmere Scarf - Aspinal of London , Mirror Ball Phone Case - Marc Jacobs , Nude Ankle Boots - ASOS , Turtle Neck Jumper - Whistles , Black Wedges - LK Bennet , Belt - Aspinal of London , Lipstick - 'Barbara' NARS (not in the sales, but had my first NARS lippy for Christmas and it's love), Silver Pumps - Whistles , Samsung NX3000 Camera - John Lewis I'm calling this a lust list, mainly because although these items are from the sales, they're still on my 'I want but cannot afford list'. Or maybe the 'cannot justify list'.. Do I need another three pairs of shoes? Definitely not. These are all the schmancy bits I'm now lusting after in the sales. As I've got older I've become less bothered about grabbing a top for less than a fiver, and more obsessed with treating myself to some techy gadget or something a little extravagant. Not good for my bank balance, but I think in the long run I get more out of it. This year I'm fancying a ...
