January Sales Shopping

So 2014 is here! 'Happy New Year'.

(oooo, that rhymes) 

I hope you all have had a fabulous 2013, it was a goodun, but I'm determined to make 2014 a lot better! I started the year with a lovely shopping spree, spending the majority of vouchers and Christmas money, so here's what I got!

I went into lush to pick up a couple bath bombs and thought I might be able to snatch up the last of the Christmas Limited addition pink bubble wand, but they had already been recalled. (sad face)  Luckily, Creamy Candy Bath smells exactly the same. Admittedly it's not as pretty looking but once in the bath is just like the wand. I also picked up Think Pink (bottom left) which is a fizzing bath bomb, this smell is a bit more subtle (subtle for lush? I know!) But you have to admit it looks super cute! I think these were around £2.50 each, (binned the receipt, sorry) 

I also took a trip into Topshop, where I went into 'shopaholic' mode. I'm loving the dark lipsticks for this season, they add a glam touch to any outfit, so I couldn't resist buying this in the colour 'The Damned' at £8.00. I looks to be a really dark purple, but when you put it on your lips it more of a deep pink with a slight purply hint.

I am genuinely lost for words at these beauties. I saw them and they were an instant 'don't look at the price just buy' pair of shoes. I knew no matter what, I had to have them! I love the small heel as they're fab for a casual day look, (being 5ft1, I need all the help I can get) but they'll also look fab with a pelmet skirt and jumper for a casual night out. When I finally did get to the till I found that these were only £38! Fav shoes at the minute without a doubt.

Topshop again and these T-bars, are £32 and are fab! They also come in black, which would go with pretty much everything but I thought i'd best widen my shoe colour range and go for a red. These would look amazing with red tartan print and give your outfit a cute vibe. I did also buy a few items of clothing from Topshop, but thought I'd let them feature in my January Lookbook later this month. 

This was a little gift from my Grandma. My house is really cold, and being a student I'd rather not be given a huge heating bill, so most of the time me and my housemates snuggle under duvets, wearing jumpers and three pairs of pyjamas so my Grandma brought me this to keep warm. Such a cute gift, and secondly ITS TARTAN! This was £12.99 from boots, and since yesterday I have already refilled it 3 times. The heating bill may go down, but the water bill is going up! 

I have been needing a new moisturiser for ages now. I have been using a cheap one which is not doing the job. When it comes to skincare, I don't mind spending a little extra because good skin means less make-up, and less make-up makes better skin. I have never used Soap and Glory Glow Job tinted moisturiser before, but the rest of their products are fab so I have faith. This was £8.00 from Boots, and its a 50ml bottle.

Now this is a big shocker for me, these body butters, which come in many different scents are normally £13 I think. In the sale (brace yourselves) they are  £5! FIVE POUNDS! I couldn't actually believe it. I did a big gasp when walking past the shop, ran in grabbed a few, paid, walked out gobsmacked! £5!! What a bargain. Think you should go grab them whilst you can! I brought mine in pomegranate which is one I have never had before, but it smells so good I could eat it!

Thinking about it, none of the stuff I have brought apart from the body butter is actually from the sales, but sale time nonetheless. Hope you enjoyed this and go grab yourselves the bargains before they all go.

Happy New Year!!
