The big countdown!

Hello lovelies

So Friday came and went and I took myself off to Superdrug to visit their MUA counter in search of the beloved purple lipstick I'm after, and boy did I get some good things! Not only did I come across the colour I was after in "Shade 2" but I also picked up their shade 16 in "Nectar", which is a lovely orange shade. I was pleasantly surprised by the lipsticks, I thought for the price of £1 they'd be very dry but they aren't, they seem quite soft, buttery and very pigmented. I picked up their primer, pressed powder in shade 3, blusher in "Marshmallow" and their eye brow pencil in "Brunette" too! I toyed with the idea of their felt eyeliner but turned it down at the last minute. The primer is lovely, others I tried on my hand left my skin quite oily and slippery, whereas this melted into my skin and left it feeling quite smooth - think matte mousse foundation, that sort of consistency. The powder comes in four different shades and to be honest I could have done with shade number 1, but for £1 (yes, really!) I'm not too bothered.

As it's officially the 1st September I am now officially on the countdown to the big C! That's right boys and girls, the shopping days until Christmas have started! While browsing the racks in Primark I spotted a rather festive little red lace number for a bargain - £10! It came with a little black belt which I'll be removing because I'm fussy but I thought it'd be perfect for the run up to the festive season with matching red nails and lipstick! 

Tomorrow marks the start of going back to work, and this morning I had a sudden realisation that I needed to pick up a few tops and things for it, so off I went back into town and again, in Primark, I came across a lovely wallpaper-like floral patterned dress for £13! I thought not only would it be ideal for work, but also for those festive drinks and teas I'll be partaking in with Rachel :-) I'm thinking of wearing it with big black shoe boots, black tights and my black leather jacket. The fabric is very light and soft, I showed Rachel and she couldn't believe it was only from Primark! I then wandered into New Look on the hunt for a peplum top and found a lovely floral number for a mere £9.99! I love peplum tops as I feel they suck you in in all the right places and flatter most shapes, I also picked up a lovely grey dress with beaded detail from their Tokyo Doll collection - £22.99 down to £10! I'm certainly a happy shopper today.

What do you think?
