Mini Haul

Hi guys, im back today with a small post showing you the things ive purchased over the last few days.

 
 
Theres not a great deal here and all of it was on offer or cheaper than normal price. Bargain!
 
First up is the jeans, I went to a market on Bank Holiday Monday and one of the clothes stalls had a few pairs of these Next Skinnies. The original price was £24 but I managed to get these for £8. Theyre really really skinny and the front pocket has a zip, as does one of the back pockets. These were a well deserved purchase because the jeans I was wearing on Monday then got a hole in them!
 
 
Up next are these slipper shoes from Dorothy Perkins. Ive wanted to dip my toe (!) into this trend for a while but struggled to find a pair that I really liked, apart from the Topshop Vectras which were out of my budget. I went onto ebay and found these. The lady had bought them recently for £22 in a size 4 but then realised after wearing them that they were half a size too small for her so she put them up for sale. The dent in her bank account was lucky for me because they fit me perfectly and my winning bid was 99p with £2 p and p. I think this is the best bargain ive had all year - can anyone beat me?
 




Finally are these two Barry M polishes. I know my previous nail post was disparaging of my Barry M Peach Melba but I thought id give the brand another go. I picked up the shades Raspberry and Mushroom (which is quite an unusual shade which is hopefully quite nice). At the tills in Superdrug they have special offers on different products and the past few weeks there have been numerous Barry M polishes on 2 for £5. If im not mistaken a polish is £3.99 or £4.99 so youre basically getting a polish for free. I saw the Raspberry shade first which looked more maroony (my favourite colour) and gasped with delight (literally!!) and then decided to buy 2 shades.

So there we have it, my recent purchases. Theres not much but I love them all, and I saved some pennies while doing it which means my bank account loves me!

What have you been spending your pennies on recently?

  1. I have mushroom by Barry M and it is the perfect neutral shade for A/W as it is a darker nude and one of my most worn polishes!

  2. Mushroom is lovely! Looks nice with a matte polish over the top too, and with black or white polka dots :)
    Raspberry is one of my favourites, got it on now :)
    I didn't much like Peach Melba, so I hope you like these two as much as I do! xx

    1. I know, I couldnt believe it :). Ive applied the Raspberry shade and the colour is gorgeous. I didnt have any of the problems that I experienced with peach melba either which is a bonus! xx
