Shopping & Benefit's They're Real mascara!

So I received a package in the post after work on Friday, I'm expecting a few things so I was wondering whats inside because it was quite a big box.. opened it up to find Benefit's They're Real Mascara!!! Finally, it isn't out in stores in the UK until next Saturday but they started selling it early online so I purchased one with free shipping, woo :) but SERIOUSLY, does the box have to be that big for such a small thing? I wouldn't of minded if it just came in a bubble wrapped envelope to be honest.

Love the brush! love everything except the fact that it does not hold the curl in my lashes. I expected it though because I ALWAYS have to use waterproof formulas when it comes to mascara but somehow I expected this to be different haha. I hope they come out with a waterproof formula!

Went to do a bit of shopping today because I needed to restock on my Amie moisteriser & get some jeggings. I came home with neither of those, instead I got these & a few tops lol.
More rings & earrings, Peach melba nail polish (I gave mine away so had to get a new one), Mac's Studio Sculpt Concealer (My eyebags are so bad I decided to try a full coverage concealer, I chose this over the Studio finish because of the packaging to be honest LOL), Burt's Bees lip balms (never tried it but I've always heard they were good, just never bothered to purchase it, I got the tinted one to; impulse buy) and finally Lancome's Bi-Facil because I'm coming the the end of my 3rd bottle of Bobbi Brown Instant Longwear Makeup Remover & I took a risk at trying out this one just because I heard good things about it. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint me though, I thought my BB one was expensive but this one is even more!

I really wanted to get Garnier's new BB cream too but I resisted temptation because I have too much.. I also wanted Lancome's Hynose Drama mascara. The sales assisstant at Lancome (she was lovely btw & so beautiful!) recommened it to me over the new Doll eyes mascara which I asked about but I just recently got 2 new mascaras so I didn't buy it. Unfortunately.

Then I came home & had this, nomnomnom :)

Enough yabber for now, hope you all have had a lovely weekend.

Shopping!

I woke up this morning at 1:45pm which is so not me! usually I'm up before noon on my days off but since 2011 started its shifted to 12:30pm but for some reason I got up extra late today, I've become so lazy! I didn't sleep til 5:30am last night though so I guess I have an excuse. Anyway I gave in to my urge to shop and because I haven't been to my local shopping centre in ages I thought why not, if I stay at home I'm just gonna nap.
Here are some of the stuff I bought..

1. Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in 005 Natural Beige (£12.99) - I don't actually know why I even bought this, I hardly use foundation nowadays because I love my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisteriser and I still have like 6 bottles of foundation, I guess I just wanted to try it? I don't usually like to buy drugstore foundations because I think when it comes to foundation its worth it to pay a bit extra and get something better and its quite hard to find the right colour because you can't try it all over your face like where theres a counter. Anyway I heard some good things about this so hopefully its not too bad. It has shimmer in it & its got SPF 20 which I don't really prefer but we'll see!
2. Bourjois Clubbing Eye Liner in Ultra Black (£5.99) - I've been cheating on my BB gel liner for the past couple days because I was bored of using the brown and my black one is nearly empty so I've been using liquid liner instead, I've got a felt tip one already so I bought this one because I wanted to have a fine tip one as well, I've bought this before & its alright so yeah.. I'll be back to using my BB gel liner once I've bought a new one though! Oh yeah I HATE it when they stick the super sticky security stickers on the packaging, WHY DO THEY DO THAT?! its like impossible to remove without leaving that sticky stuff and I like my things clean! :@
3. Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel (£2.99) - I needed a temporary eyebrow pencil to replace my fav Lancome one because I found out this morning that its finished so I got this one, not really a fan of Rimmel but this is decent :)
I wanted to get some shoes but every time I picked up a pair that I liked it was at least a size 4, there were no size 3's anywhere!! Then I went into Dorothy Perkins and found these in a Size 3, they're so cute & I love the colour! They were on sale for £12, bargain! I love how buying new shoes just instantly makes me happy :D
I got these two from Dorothy Perkins as well, the necklace was on sale for only £2, its so cute! The ring was £6.50, it looks kinda similar to one I have already but yeah, love it!

I bought a long sleeved top from River Island too because I hardly have any long sleeves and there were a lot of other things I saw online but I couldn't find and a lot of shoes I wanted but they didn't have  my size but there were two items I nearly bought but didn't, I really want them though, maybe next time!
I realised why I haven't been shopping there in ages, there's really not much at all & the whole place has downgraded! They need better shops!
After I finished my shopping my friend came because he needed me to help him buy a diary hahaha! I won't expose him but yeah, still surprising and hilarious!
Anyway sorry for the long post, I think I'll stop my gibberish now! x

Wants!

Boredom strikes again & I have a mad urge to shop right now but I must resist temptation! I haven't actually shopped fora while, I've bought a few dresses online but I haven't actually done any proper shopping. Anyway I thought I'd share a few of the things I've found whilst looking around online that I want, if anyone wants to buy me any then please feel free too! lol :p

There's so much more I want as well & I still need to buy my Longchamp bag. Ahh where does all my money go? :(
