Its that time of year again…BOXING DAY SALES!!

Yes, the day we all rush out to buy loads of stuff we “need”.

Some people are really sensible when it comes to shopping and they only purchase things they need or would have brought “full price” but wait until this day for a bargain. I am awful at this, I love a bargain, regardless of what it is, if its reduced, its already caught my eye.

However, this year, I made a plan of what I needed/wanted and was going to stick to it. Until I got into the shops and saw all the lovely reduced tags. My plan quickly turned into an epic fail.

I had planned to get 3 items, yes, only 3.

1. Lacoste – a touch of pink. 

2. Elizabeth Arden – red door 

3. A nice watch – I’ve had my eye set on an MK watch for ages, but its always out of stock (mk3191) I have managed to buy “a touch of pink” and a DKNY watch, the mirror affect one in rose gold. This was the backup watch I wanted. I did however pay less then what I was planning on spending, which is a bonus. 

I’m still looking for a gift box set of Red door. Fingers crossed, I find it tomorrow. 

A side from this, I have picked up, a black lace dress. I don’t know if I’m going to keep this as its not very hijab friendly around the shoulders. A statement necklace, two hijabs; one floral and one paisley print, an eye shadow kit, which contains 12 very pretty colours and a large maroon clutch. I also picked up black sequin jacket, it has a very 1920s style to it, which is exactly what I need for a themed work do I’m attending next month. 

 Apart from my original plan, the only extra item I brought that I really needed was the sequin jacket, everything else was only purchased because of the red labels on them. 

 I need serious help when it comes to sales. I’m always OTT with everything and I loose my senses when I see the sale tag. Any tips on how to stay in control when sale shopping are most welcome. 

I don’t dislike any of the stuff I brought; I just didn’t need any of it at all. 

O well…pictures to follow, let me know what you think.

Guess whose back...

It has been a very long while since I last posted anything. I’ve had a few computer issues. But hopefully now, I will be able to get back into the flow of things. I wanted to start of with saying, O MY GOSH I can’t believe its already December. This year has just flown by. So much has happened but I still can’t believe that we are now in the last month of 2014. 

Anyway, lets get into it… It’s pretty cold here in the south east of England and like most people I do suffer from dry skin in the winter. So, I have now started using Nivea crème. I use this every winter. It a nice thick crème that is oily and its exactly what my face needs in these cold grey mornings. Although I have noticed that my eyeliner doesn’t like the oily base and I’ve been coming from work looking like a panda. Not a good look – to avoid this I’ve changed from using gel eyeliner back to using liquid liner – problem solved. 

While I was picking up the much-needed liquid liner I decided I’d have another look at the MUA stand. For all my overseas readers, MUA is a super affordable makeup brand in the UK. They have some great eye shadow palettes out at the moment. I managed to resist buying one but now I can’t stop thinking about it, so I guess I might end up buying it tomorrow. However, I did pick up a Matte lipstick. It’s the first Matte lipstick that I have tired in their range, I chose Fawn Fancy, which is a taupe/brown colour. I also picked up a bronzer. The bronzer is a replacement for same item I already own and have hit pan on it. Not just hit pan on the item but I literally have one corner left.

I do have so much I need to write about and tell you guys about, I’m off to watch the Apprentice on catch-up – #teamdaniel all the way.
