here are some things i've bought over the last two or three weeks. :) i finally caved and thought i would try the real techniques brushes and it's safe to say i am not disappointed! i'll definitely be purchasing a few more when payday comes around. while in boots i also bought myself a new bottle of root boost by umberto giannini, it's amazing! i've never used a root boost spray that really makes a difference but the tiniest amount of this goes a long way. i bought some more sheer glow foundation by nars because it is my one true love and i can't be without it! 

my mum got me this mandarin clove & cinnamon oil from marks & spencer to burn in my bedroom, it's a pretty wintery festive smell and it always reminds me of christmas because my mum used to burn it in pretty much every room of the house when i was younger around december time. i love it. :) i couldn't resist the hmv sale and got this complete gavin and stacey box set for just a tenner, an absolute steal! while in town i also popped in to mac for a new lipstick and went with 'speed dial' i tend to always wear a really nude baby pink lip but this is a slightly darker and brighter colour than i would usually wear on a day to day basis, but it makes a nice change when i want to look a bit more done up if i go out after work or something. :)

finally, a few days ago my mum and i went to ikea and i got this cute little pink heart shaped dish which i've decided to use to keep all my bobby pins in. i have a serious love/hate relationship with bobby pins, i feel like i'm always buying more even though i constantly find them all over my house ! i swear they just vanish when they know you need them and then reappear EVERYWHERE when you don't. as well as the little heart dish i also bought myself some new floral bed covers. ikea does some great bed sets and it took me ages to pick which one i wanted but in the end i went with these white sheets with little pink flowers all over them, cute. :)
