Boxing Day Sales

By Katieemay @katieemay1
One of the things I love about Christmas is the sales which follow because you can get some great bargins. Normally, me and my mom go to Leeds in January (which we are again this year) but we were bored today and decided to pop along to Carlisle to see if we could get anything. I'd gone with the purpose to buy theSoap & Glory In the Bag Gift Set  because it was on half price but a lass  it was out of stock (which wasn't surprising really) however I did manage to pick up a few bargains on my little trip.

So on my way round Boots, I couldn't walk past the Seventeen make-up brushes without stopping and picking them up. They were a bargain at £6.00 and I've heard some good things about them too. I very nearly bought the Seventeen ultimate beauty essentials but I already had the eye shadow pallet and really only needed brushes. I was amazed I walked past Soap & Glory without buying anything but I'm waiting for that bath set to come in! I headed over to New Look and grabbed a new top for a fiver, another cheap little bargain and then I went over to House of Fraser where I was enticed by all the shoes!

I couldn't walk past these beautiful Chelsea Boots without at least trying them on; it would be plain and simple wrong! I've been wanting a pair for absolutely ages and when I saw that they were £43.00 instead of £65.00, and I had Christmas money burning a hole in my purse, I couldn't resist and oh my goodness they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned...seriously, they're as comfy if not comfier than my Toms which are literally slippers!
So I didn't break the bank too much on this little boxing day shopping trip but I do have another trip soon to a much bigger city so we will see how my bank account likes it then! Before today, I'd never been boxing day sales shopping and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it because normally I'm not the biggest fan if it's super busy but there was such a buzz it was hard not to get caught up in the hysteria a bit. What are you're thoughts on the boxing day sales? Love them or loath them?
