Saturday Sale Shopping #1

Sales

I LOVE the sales! In my opinion you can't beat a bargain so here are my top picks from this week's online sales.

1. Miss Selfridge Jacquard Prom Skirt :: WAS £35.00 NOW £7.00
Now I know this skirt isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I love it! I think paired with black tights and black vest top it makes such a cute outfit! I love skirts and think one with detailing like this are lovely. Such a bargain as well!

2. Topshop Swirl Mesh Dress :: WAS £45.00 NOW £15.00
I wish this had been in the sale when I was looking for dresses for Ladies Day last month! It's gorgeous! I find skater dresses to be really flattering for my shape so think I will snap this up!

3. ASOS Oasis London Landmark Shopper :: WAS £12.00 NOW £6.00
I have been feeling very patriotic with the Olympics and Jubilee this year, so love this canvas bag which pays homage to our capital city!

4. Blue Banana Iron Fist Digi Skull Shoes :: WAS £34.99 NOW £20.00
There is a love/hate relationship between me and Iron Fist. I love pretty much ALL of their shoes, yet hate the prices - Y U SO EXPENSIVE IRON FIST?! Considering I wear flat shoes 99% of the time, these are PERFECT for me. To buy or not to buy?

NOTD :: Revlon - Minted

Revlon Revlon Revlon Revlon
Revlon Minted | Poundland - £1

I was LITERALLY on my way to buy the Barry M Mint Green nail varnish when I remembered that A Thrifty Mrs mentioned that Poundland had some bargain brands in stock - glad I did, as I found this little gem!

I do really like the Revlon nail varnishes, I just find them a little pricey so to find this one for a quid pleased me immensely. Sure, the brush is a little long for my liking and its quite watery on application, but it dries to such a lovely colour that I can forgive this little niggles! I'm going to paint this on my toes for Jamaica next week!

Have you had any bargain brand name beauty products from Poundland?

Beauty Review :: Clarins 3 Dot Liner

Clarins Clarins Clarins
Clarins 3 Dot Liner in Black | C/O Clarins | RRP: £20

When the press release for Clarin's Autumn Make-up Collection dropped in my inbox, one product in particular caught my eye and that was this unique Limited Edition 3 Dot Liner. At first it reminded me of those crazy felt tips I used to use when I was little, but as I read on I realised there was a lot more to this eyeliner than childhood nostalgia!

The unique triple point applicator fills the tiny space inbetween each lash, dot by dot which gives you the illusion of a fuller looking lash line. I would say its a more subtle look than normal liquid eyeliner, and it lasts for ages! It's perfect for a daytime look, or, as you can see from the above pictures, you can use it as a conventional 'felt tip' eyeliner. This lasted me all day as well, which is unusual for me as make up seems to disintergrate on my face within hours!

Note: Apologies for the 'bleed' on my hand... that's just my skin unfortunately and nothing to do with the eyeliner - safe to say it doesn't happen on my eyes! Once I've mastered getting flattering close up shots of my face I'll post more reviews with the products actually where they are meant to be!

Have you tried any of the Clarin's Autumn Make-up collection? I have my eye on the Colour Accents Face & Blush Palette!
