Dorothy Perkins sale

Today I had one of those moments where you think 'oh I'll just have a look in there to kill time' and end up buying something, oops!
Before christmas, I was in Dorothy Perkins and saw a couple of things a really liked and thought about buying, I had already spent a bit too much last month as I started my new job at Next, meaning staff discount, and bought a load of stuff from there, as well as all my christmas shopping, so couldn't really justify spending anymore. Anyway, fortunately for me and unfortunately for my bank account they just so happened to have the two things I had my eye on in their sale. The first one, a black japanese-style kimono type thing with some lovely pink flowers on it, was £24.00, reduced to £5.00! I think my jaw literally dropped when I saw it. I then spotted a purple dress I really like that was £30.00 down to £10.00 and after a very short trip to the changing rooms (didn't need much time to decide) I bought them both! :D So i'm now a very happy bunny and the proud owner of two lovely new items of clothing, here they are...

The Kimono:
Ignore the snake print top!

The dress:

Sorry about the pile of clothes!

Not my mess I promise!


So yeah, you all need to pop down to your nearest dorothy perkins and grab some bargains yourselves!

Day 20 - Favourite mascara...

My go to mascara has for years been the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express. Firstly, the packaging is gorgeous, it's in a bright yellow tube with a purple band around it and I love the shape of the bottle. The brush is wonderful, it's just your simple, typical mascara brush; no fancy shape or plastic bristles, and it applies great. I've tried out a lot of mascaras over the years and this is the only one i've fell in love with and re-purchased. I generally go for the plastic brush lash separator types and then apply this over the top because I hate clumpiness and obviously, no matter what a makeup company say, there's no mascara that can completely avoid some of your eyelashes sticking together or a small clump of mascara coming out, i've fallen for that line too many times! So I tend to use one of those to shape my lashes then use this to coat them and make them look fuller. 






I've recently purchased the L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes and so far so good but I haven't been using it for much over a week so I think i'll do a full review of it when I have more of an opinion rather than include it in this post.
