Charity shop haul

My local charity has been closed for a few days whilst it was repainted and reorganised.
it opened again this morning so i nipped in for a browse and it looks great,the rails are all along the wall so there is a lot more floor space,everything is colour co-ordinated and shoes/handbags are all displayed really nicely.
I honed in on the cream section as i have a thing for cream,floral and floaty at the moment and wasn't disappointed,i came away with the following...

cream next knitted sweater £2.50
i have seen these in shops so a great find :)

red herring floaty beige top £2.50

white red herring dress with beading £3.50

really happy with all the purchases,all perfect items for summer.

Few new bits

I popped into New Look yesterday and came away with these brogues for just £7...

Ive had mixed comments from the family about them but i like them so that's all that matters,what do you think?

do you like brogues? what do you wear with them?

and.... i finally bought the river island purse that I've been lusting over for weeks,put myself out of my misery lol

To come tomorrow, recent swaps post,

till then :)

Elizabeth Arden freebie :(

I received an email from Elizabeth Arden about their new products with an offer of a foundation and lipstick freebie at participating stores so, as i was going into town i decided to go makeup free and test their foundations as i have never used them before.

I got to Debenhams and after waiting what seemed like forever for the lady in front to be served i asked about their foundation only to be told that the lady from the Elizabeth Arden counter was not in today,grrrr

Anyways i decide to try at boots as its on my way, after much walking round and round an empty counter i decide to ask a lady on no7 counter if there is anyone working on Elizabeth Arden, only to be told that she was probably on her break.

whats the chances eh,two counters and nobody on either to serve me.

Its times like this i wish i was a secret shopper lol

Not good Elizabeth Arden,not good :(

Lush Space girl bath ballistic review

I bought this bath ballistic last week mainly (as with most lush products) because i love the smell.
really reminds me of parma violet sweets,i am also a sucker for the sweeter smelling lush products.

I ran the bath and dropped it in,it fizzes away making your water a shade of violet and giving off the lovely sweet aroma.

it also made my skin silky smooth and at £1.90 it is one of the cheaper products but well worth a try for yourself.

don't let the glitter put you off it doesn't leave you covered in glitter!

 

I'm in a dilemma with lush at the moment,i have tried lots of the products (some i love and some not so good) and i am now running out of new things to try but fear not Easter is just around the corner and i have heard that there are some new Easter editions coming out soon, hehe cant wait :)

Blog post of the week

This weeks blog post of the week goes to Hayley @ Pink diamonds and sparkles.
I am really enjoying reading her blog at the moment and in this particular blog post she plays tribute to her lovely grandma.
Having lost someone close too i think posts like this are a lovely way to keep the memories alive and let the world know how much you loved that special person. :)

I need.....

from river island....

crochet sandals £39.99

cream stud purse £16.99




I have been in and admired the purse twice now,i think i am going to have to buy it but cant justify the £39.99 for the sandals im afraid.



what do you think? :)

Blog post of the week

This weeks blog post goes to Hauls of an addict, i love haul posts and someone who is addicted to bargains as i am.
She is also a fab swapper/seller on Bigwardobe,please check her out :)

Saturdays freebies

Went to my local lush store today which happens to be up the road (don't know if that is good or bad thing)
It is the 4th birthday and to celebrate they were letting customers make their own 'Sex Bomb' bath bombs,having used this product already and loved it i nipped in with my daughter.
It was great,really enjoyable and we got to keep them for free which was extra fab :)

whilst i was there it was rude not to buy something so i bought a butterball bath ballistic and marshmallow bath melt

also bought this mint julips lip scrub for my daughter,i already have the sugar lips one



I popped into Debenhams and handed in a voucher (which can be found in this months Marie Claire magazine) for Bare Minerals foundation sample which came with a little brush.
I was treated to an application of the bare minerals products which was sooo relaxing and looked great.
not sure yet if i would buy or stick to the usual Estee Lauder double wear light.

what do you prefer,mineral foundation or liquid foundation,please let me know your views :)

Marie Claires cowshed offer

Whilst food shopping i came across the magazine section and was debating whether to buy another Glamour mag and therefore another Clinique freebie but although tempting i couldn't justify having 2 of the same magazines.
Then Marie Claire caught my eye and it came with a free Cowshed body lotion.
I opted for the Cowshed Wild cow invigorating body lotion with essential oils of lemongrass,ginger and rosemary.
I love spicy smelling products and this smells fab.
I will review at a later date for you.

mag £3+ free lotion worth £10 bargain

There are lots of cheekily named lotions to choose from and all for £3 you cant go wrong.

Has anyone used any products from the Cowshed range? what did you think?

feather necklace new look £2

strap bracelet 50p eBay

More tesco boots

Nipped in to Tesco again the other day to look for new school blouse for my daughter as tesco is the only shop to sell the rever collars,unfortunately they didn't have her size but my eyes did light up when i saw the 50% off sale sign (i had forgot Tesco were having a sale)
I came away with these..

was £22 i paid £9



they look fab with leggings,impulse buying at its best but i am sure i will get the wear out of them.

did anyone else go to the Tesco sale? what do you think of the boots?

Lush big blue ballistic review

I was telling my sister recently about my lush addiction and she gave me the lush 'big blue' ballistic which had been lurking in her bathroom unused for months.
I used it the other night,i dropped it into the bath after i had ran it, the water turned a lovely ocean shade of blue,buti couldn't smell much aroma.
The colour of the water was lovely and there were lots of little bits of seaweed floating around.
very relaxing and pleasing to look at but i also love a nice smelling aroma and this is where this particular bath bomb failed in my opinion.
It was nice to look at but i don't think i will buy this particular one again.

However on my recent weekly jaunt to lush this week i decided to take a look at face masks as my skin is looking really dull and the skins tone is awful, whilst i was there couldn't make my mind up which face mask to try so the lovely people gave me great advice on the best ones for my skin and also 3 samples to try,there is enough in each sample to give 2/3 treatments so will last me ages,i will be reviewing these in a few weeks time.

After smelling half the contents of the shop i came across the 'mange too' massage bar.... OMG   it smells Divine. white chocolate and honey mmmmm
I asked for a sample of that too and there is enough for a couple of applications so will review that one too after i have finished my recent fave the therapy massage bar.
so there i was in the bath with lush face mask on, big blue in water and for afters the mange too massage bar
ahhhhh HEAVEN!

I did in fact buy something though, the candy bubble bar that i reviewed last week :)

New shoes cure the blues

I picked up this item at a car boot sale a few weeks back,i love it because its so me and very very true,I'm sure you will agree ;)
