Over the past couple of weeks I have treated myself to these great purchases, justifying to myself that I 'need' them. I'm so pleased with all of these buys which is why I have decided to include them in a post! I hope you enjoy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <b>Duck Egg Blue Silk and Lace Bra </b>- I've been after some cute bras for quite a long time as mine seem to get ruined when my fake tan rubs off on them - does anyone else have this problem?! I am quite fussy with my underwear so when I spot something I really like, I get it when I have the chance. This cute number is from <b>M&S</b>. I find their underwear so comfy and they also fit really well. It is quite pricey, however worth the extra if you're willing to pay for good quality! They didn't have matching undies in my size, however I will be purchasing them very soon.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. <b>Gold Stacking Rings </b>- These are very fashionable at the moment and I can't believe it has taken me this long to buy a set. These ones were an absolute bargain off <b>eBay </b>- I got 3 rings for 99p! They took a while to get here as they were from Honk Kong, but with free postage I can't complain! You can buy these <b><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200828274513?var=500106632361&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank">here</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. <b>Gold Triangle Hand Harness </b>- This is another cute piece of jewellery I managed to find on <b>eBay</b> for £1.49, again with free postage. It is such a simple way to add character to an outfit which I love! It's quite difficult to get on yourself, I do need an extra hand with mine - but again, so worth it! You can buy this one <b><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181023418562?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank">here</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <b>Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Pressed Powder </b>- I've been looking for a powder that really works for my skin type for such a long time. I have tried brand after brand in search of a powder to set my foundation, look flawless and not too 'cakey', remove shine and have that extra staying power. I've known all along that this one from Mac is the best one out there, I just couldn't bring myself to pay the price for it. I got this one in duty free at the airport before my hols as it was slightly cheaper. I've gotta say, now I really know how amazing this product is, I will be using this from now on and happily pay that extra for it! It buffs on beautifully and doesn't look like powder at all, it's more like silk. This one is in shade medium plus. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <b>Ren Revitalize Nightcream </b>- Skincare is such an important thing for me and I really believe that natural products are the best for you. I prefer to buy expensive face products as I know they are good for me and I am going to get the best results. Ren is definitely one of my favourite skincare brands as it is 100% natural ingredients and they give amazing results. I've never had a night cream before<b> </b>and I think that this is an important step of my day and night routine. This one allows me to wake up feeling fresh and I have noticed that extra glow to my skin. It is suitable for all skin types.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <b>Real Techniques Expert Brush </b>- So I do have a slight obsession with makeup brushes. I have spent hundreds on MAC brushes which I do love, but I've been wanting to try Real Techniques for quite some time. They are cheaper too which is even better! I have been using this expert brush for my foundation and it is AMAZING - better than any other brush I have used. I got this one from boots for £9.99 - I recommend it to anyone who wants flawless foundation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you for reading!</span></div></center><center></center><center><img alt="post signature" class="left" src="http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r728/04nedwards/blogsignature_zps4c2f45f3.png" /></center>

On Saturday I had a quick pop to my local town to get a few essentials, and in the meantime, I found some great bargains that I couldn't resist on buying. Although I study in London, I am now back for the Summer in my hometown Ipswich. Our shopping centre isn't the best of places, so when I find some good buys I am left extremely happy! </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>17 Miracle Matte Pressed Powder: Boots</b> - Because I have dry skin, I need to use a moisturising foundation. The only liquid foundations that work on my skin leave a very glossy/dewy finish which leaves my looking like a shine-ball unless I blot it with a good powder! I've been looking for a nice powder for a while that is long-lasting and looks great. As I go through this stuff like there's no tomorrow, I have been searching for an effective pressed powder at a reasonable price. This one is great. It really lasts all day and leaves a flawless finish without drying out my skin. It costs around the £3 mark.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>17 Stay Time Concealer: Boots</b> - There was a buy one get one half price deal in Boots this weekend, so when I picked up the powder, it was only right to find another product to complete the deal! I also use so much concealer. I don't suffer in major breakouts, but I like to use a good brightening concealer to highlight under my eyes every morning. This one does just that and it was a great price too - £3. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Lancome Flash Bronzer: Debenhams</b> - I am a fake tan addict. I'm not a fan of putting regular self tan on my face as I don't think this is overly good for my skin and also it never seems to work that well. I've heard great things about Flash Bronzer, so when I saw it reduced from £23 to £13 I had to get it! It really does work very well. It is a gel base that can be used as an every day moisturiser due to its vitamin E ingredients. I put it on under my makeup to let it work its magic throughout the day. I really love it and it is longer lasting than other fake tans used on the face.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Vita Liberata Tinted Self Tan: Debenhams</b> - This is the fake tan I always use. I have tried and tested A LOT of fake tans and this is hands down the best one for me. It is made from 100% all natural and organic ingredients so is very moisturising and kind to the skin. The colour is very golden and sun-kissed, streak free and the fade is very even too. I don't experience any scaly or patchy fade marks with this product, unlike every other tan I have previously used. I really recommend this tan to all the fake tanners out there - I promise you wont be disappointed! They have a range of products to suit every kind of person. This was also reduced in Debenhams from £23 to £18!</span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Black Wedges: Primark</b> - Yes Primark! I love these kinds of sandals at the moment as they are so cute from the summer, they are comfy and they give me that little extra boost of height! When I saw these at the price of £10, there was no way I was going to leave without them. I'm super happy with this purchase!</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Thank you for all of your comments - I do take them on board and read every one. Please leave your blogs and I will check them out too!</span></div></center><center></center><center><img alt="post signature" class="left" src="http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r728/04nedwards/blogsignature_zps4c2f45f3.png" /></center>
