What I bought 28/12/2011

Topshop Jumper £36, Topshop Bambi Night Top £10 (Sale), Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer £28, Laura Mercier Luster Eye Colour in Dusk £18.50, YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in Rose Boreale £22.50.

I went on a little shopping spree with the boyfriend in one of my local towns and had a little splurge time. I popped into Pearsons (a small department store) and walked away with 1 thing I fully intended to buy and 2 impulse purchases, pretty good for me I think?! I did resist a lot of temptation especially over at Estée Lauder as so many people have recently raved about the "Maximum Cover Foundation", but I really don't need another foundation at the moment and I'm waiting for the new Perfection Lumiere launch.

However I did walk away with the Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer which I cannot wait to slap on! So many people have raved about these primers and I'm a sucker for anything that will keep the slap on my face! The Luster Eye Colour was a bit of a crazy impulse. I have never heard anything about LM eyeshadows but when I swatches it, it looked so pretty I just couldn't resist (well I could have but chose not to)! And sometimes it's nice to try products that aren't so much on the radar. The YSL Lipstick was another mentalist purchase. I have wanted one for ages but find all the colours too gorgeous to possibly choose one! I went for Rose Boreale as its a beautiful warm rosy pink, a real me colour!

I only picked up two clothing bits as sales drive me INSANE! There's never anything I like in my size and when I do find something the que decides to be 2474248 long and I just give up and put it back! I did pick up the long Bambi pj top from the sale but the jumper was full priced. I love the colour of the jumper and I actually fell so in love with it I picked it up 2 sizes too big for me as it was the only one left!

Hope your all well and having a wonderful break!

Love, Caterina

What I Bought This Week.

(Photo 1- All Primark, Photo 2- All Primark, Photo 3- Internationale, Photo 4- Primark, Photo 4- Savers & Superdrug.)

I love these type of posts! It's an opportunity to have a nose at what people spend their extra cash on. I bought the clothes mostly for my new job, I needed a work wardrobe! I love the chiffon scalloped shirt it's officey! The chinos were something I'd ad my eye on for a while and finally took the plunge and at twelve quid, what a bargain! The red top was something I already owned in a brown colour from Topshop, except obviously this Primark one was a zillon times cheaper!

I got a load of basics as they are so easy to chuck on with trousers, skirts or denim shorts! I particularly like the long sleeve ones but it was pretty busy at that bit of Primark so I only grabbed one.

The button up Internationale shirt is on of my fave buys! I can see myself wearing it a hell of a lot. It's such a nice off white colour too which will go with anything. The black tube skirt was a cheapy essential that I needed for work.

I love this studded wrap around bracelet! It really reminds of a belt I saw not so long ago, so pretty. I've heard quite a bit about these "Super Cosy" tights and how opaque they are, so I just had to buy them as I HATE sheer black tights with a passion, and on top of that they're cosy!

Finally I got some St Moriz Dark Mousse from savers and a couple of make up bits. The goldy colour from MUA reminds me of MAC's Amber Lights which I love. Got some coconut oil after hearing the wonders that it does to your hair. Lastly I got this Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in "Funtime Fuchsia" which has become a quick go to favorite this week! I love fuchsia and magenta pinks. I also got some Crest 3D White Strips, False Lashes and Duo Lash Glue but they haven't arrived yet. 

Hope you enjoyed the post!
