Hey There,
Is there anything better than sale shopping? Especially when it’s all done online, sweatpants on, make up off, you can even eat and drink! No endless sale racks and queuing to be done.
OK, so this kinda post shouldn’t really come so soon after my Spending Cut post, however as these were sale items, or items purchased with Christmas vouchers, these are absolutely ‘guilt’ free splurges.
To be honest with you all, I was trying to stay clear of the temptation of the sales, but when I heard Illamasqua had a 50%, 60% AND 70% off sale *Insert ridiculously excited face*, I’d of been stupid not to buy anything…Right? It was a struggle to get through the website, and to the checkout with out any full priced items, I’m not going to lie. But I succeeded and am SO happy with my purchases. I picked up their lip pencil in Spell, a gorgeous reds red, and their Reflection eye shadow palette, made up of a mixture of bronze, graphite, taupe, and lemon colours, (Just bea….utiful). I think I paid something like £17.00 for two items worth £45.00 ish, (Absolute BARGAIN).
My GOSH cosmetics were picked up using some ‘Love To Shop’ gift vouchers I received at Christmas, (Unfortunately full priced). I had lost my Mandarina lippy, which is a must have spring summer colour, so of course I had to buy it again, (The old ones still not shown up), and having lusted over some gray eye shadows for some time, thinking I should of kept my mums Giorgio Armani ones for myself, I thought it was about time I invested in some. You can’t beat a gray smokey eye.
Finally my gift vouchers were used up on some Newlook fashion. Having had a lot of green eye envy over A LOT of fashion bloggers pastel coats last year, I was keen to get my hands on this collarless lilac one. Now I’ve got it, I kinda love it, but I also kinda don’t. I’m really unsure of it. I think its one of those coats I like on the hanger and just feel is a bit to daring once on…Do you know what I mean? With a thing for faux fur, I had to pick up this cream jacket, I feel a little bit like a polar bear, but with the right outfit it will look perfect. Plus both came to £35.00 Instead of £70.00 +.
Have you done any sale shopping? What has been your best buy this January?
Thanks for reading.
Lots of love,
