I've been trying not to spend too much on myself in the last month or so, due to Christmas being around the corner & me having about a million people to buy presents for (possible exaggeration.) But I just cannot go through the week without buying myself a few little treats! And I most definitely cannot deprive myself of my almost daily Starbucks soy latte - they taste like heaven in my mouth.
Do you think I have a problem? Ha.
So anyway, here's what else I bought:
The top was £12.75 from Forever 21. Forever 21 are such a good shop for budget, good quality clothes! Everyone should check them out online or in-store; there's such a wide variety of fashion & beauty products such as make-up bags, pocket mirrors & brushes for brilliant prices.
The heart shaped loofah/nail brush & raccoon socks were from there too, both £1.10! Raccoon was one of my nicknames school (I know right, what the hell?) so I saw them & it instantly reminded me of old school friends - plus they are cute.
The ring was £1.50 from the Topshop sale - bargain! I love massive rings.
Whilst in Topshop I couldn't resist buying one of their lipsticks in the shade 'Pillow Talk' which I've read a lot about in the blog world. I am absolutely not a lipstick person but due to the excellent reviews & it's apparent creamy/moisturising texture I thought I'd give it a go. I am super pleased with this £9 buy! Not going to give a full review (as there are hundreds of them out there already) but I really love it; it is not drying like most of the other lipsticks I've tried & it's a gorgeous colour that I think really suits the blonde hair/blue eyes I've got going on.
The St. Tropez bronzing mousse says it all for itself really. It's an amazing self-tan & I'd run out. I apply 2 layers on consecutive days during the week. It's an important part of my beauty routine nowadays - easy, no streaks, great colour. Quite pricey at around £30 but worth it.
I also grabbed the VO5 'Revive Me Daily' shampoo for 99p from Superdrug. I love V05 products (they smell divine) & I'm nearly out of my Bedhead 'Dumb Blonde' shampoo (my favourite.) Seeing as I'm too poor to repurchase this at the moment, I've decided to give this a whirl for the time being. I will let you know what I think!
What have you bought this week? :) Have you tried any of these products?

You have Starbucks in your name....ahaha, awesome. It is so pretty. Looks kinda similar in colour to the Rimmel one you have on your blog don't you think?! x x
ReplyDeleteI adore that jumper! I love pieces of clothes that have sheer, leather or lace panels.
ReplyDeleteThat Topshop ring is cute too, a steal for £1.50!
I really want to try Pillow Talk aswell after seeing it on so many people's blogs.

ReplyDeleteAhhh what are we like! I haven't had one for a week, booo to being poor. Will make up for it after Christmas for sure.:] x x
ReplyDeleteMmmmm starbucks. I love Starbucks. There is nothing wrong with a daily one :-P
ReplyDeleteI love all your buys. I don't own any topshop lipsticks, I think I may have too soon!
Also have you tried St Moriz Tanning Mousse? I think its a bit of a spin off. But much much cheaper, and really good.

Jealous of the Topshop lipstick in Pillow Talk. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Lovely post :) xx
