When payday comes around I really want to treat myself. I always try to save at least twice as much as I spend but I definitely need a little boost and a bit of motivation! Plus I've had some excellent news I will fill you in with in my next catch-up post...
I'm always here for a Body Shop discount code and this one coincided with getting paid! I picked up the Sumptuous Camomile Cleansing Butter (£12) as I love the oil version so much. After hearing great reviews I got the Hemp Hand Protector (£5). I also picked up my first ever Body Shop haircare products: the Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Banana Shampoo and Banana Conditioner (£4.50 each). I'll update you on the lot once I've had a proper go!

My mum bought me a couple of little gifts as well a gorgeous purse and watch, both from River Island. I love the subtle shade of the Rose Gold Tone Bracelet Watch (£28) as I prefer things to be more on the side of gold than too pink. The Cream Quilted Tab Top Purse (£13) is so practical with all of its compartments yet so stylish and chic too.
Of course I'm sure you've noticed I got my hands on the Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Set (£55)! I won't give too much away as my review is coming super-soon but how stunning are they?!
And finally, a closer look at my clothing buys. I've been such a huge fan of Miss Selfridge these past few months and so I picked up these cute casual pieces. I got the Camel Tuck Stitch Jumper (£28) and a pair of checked/tartan leggings I can't find online (I only got them a week or two ago, so keep an eye out in stores if you like the look). I didn't actually realise they were £25 - oops at me! I do think they're really cute though.
From New Look (another current high street favourite of mine) I picked up some pieces that are work or day appropriate. I didn't realise the Cream Quilted Ribbed Sweater (£14.99) came in Tall! It does ride up a bit on me so if I re-purchased in another colour I'll get the Tall. I also picked up the Dark Grey Knitted Belted Pencil Skirt (£17.99), the Light Grey Jacquard Check Jumper (£19.99) and some tile print trousers that I can't find online (I think they were £22). I love the trousers as they're high-waisted and are somehow long enough for me! I gravitate towards black skinny jeans so wanted to find something more wearable but a bit different too; these fit the bill perfectly.
What do you think of my buys? Did you treat yourself to anything nice on payday?
Those brushes are beautiful, as is your watch! Rose gold is such a pretty shade. Can't wait for the review!

I know right - and the fact you get different brushes (not just the same ones in another colour) has put them firmly on the wish list! xx
DeleteGorgeous brushes :) I've been wanting them for ages~
ReplyDeleteI haven't been New Look in a while but it looks like they have some nice stuff now!
