I've been on a bit of a spending ban this month however that didn't stop me picking up a few things. I have such a huge shopping compulsion recently so I limited myself to only a few things this month, although it's been so hard!
Seeing as it's summer I really need some more weather appropriate shoes, and I've been wanting some converse for over a year now and I thought now was that perfect time to pick some up. Now that I have them I have no idea why it took me so long to get some!
I took a trip into Primark and found this amazing pleated blue midi skirt. I've wanted a similar dress from Amazon that I knew I couldn't afford so this was the next best thing. My style has been inspired a lot by bloggers and I just couldn't help being sucked in to Becca Rose and Arabella's feminine and sophisticated style. I haven't worn it yet but I've planned so many outfits around this and I just can't wait to wear it! Another thing I picked up in Primark was a sports bra, and I bought this to somehow motivate me to exercise. It hasn't worked yet but I hope it will soon!
I also went to Superdrug and picked up the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick, I actually did a review on this so I won't talk about it too much, I would just say I love this and it's on my agenda to get more! Mine's in the shade Nude-ist.
I picked up the MUA concealer palette just because it was cheap and I have to say there's only one concealer in this palette that I like and does anything for me at all, but I do think concealer palettes are a good idea, however I would definitely go for something more high end just because you want a high quality product. I also picked up a MUA nail varnish because they are cheap and I love the formulas with these. I love how they don't chip easily on my nails which is a must for me because nail varnish just disappears off of my nails within a couple of days. I got the shade sweet peach which is like a really pretty coral orange colour which looks great with a tan.
Finally from Superdrug I got the NYC Smooth Skin Bonzing Powder in Sunny, and I had to get this off of their website because I couldn't find this in store. I love this for contouring and even just bronzing up my face because it's very matte and doesn't look orangey - as long as I don't overload it on.
Finally I bought a new iPhone charger - this may seem really boring but I just want to say that I would definitely recommend buying an expensive charger just because they are extremely durable and work so much better. I couldn't afford the original Apple charger so I bought this Syncwire one off of Amazon for £10 and it works just as well. A few weeks before I bought this one I picked up a really cheap one online, and it worked for a day and then fell apart, and when I tried to use it without the protective covering, my phone started smoking! So just a warning and a recommendation, always buy fully reliable chargers, even if they are a little expensive.
Thanks for reading!
