I'm not doing a spending ban or anything but funds have been a bit tight recently due to hubby's birthday, Valentine's and a week off work but on Saturday I just couldn't help myself! I've been lusting over so many things lately and I thought it was about time that I had a few little treats.
We got up early on Saturday and went to my favourite place to go shopping, West Quay in Southampton. There is a large shopping centre and also a high street outside with all my favourite shops on. Here is a piccy of everything I bought.
Debenhams
Debenhams were holding a 10% off event for the weekend so I took advantage of it and picked up the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, then I went past the Benefit counter and thought that I'd just pick up another tube of POREfessional. I ended up chatting to the girl at the counter and also picked up Fine One One and their brow kit after she tried them out on me - oops! Because I'd spent quite a bit in there she also popped in a load of free perfume samples (I'm still after Flowerbomb though which wasn't included)
Boots
Whilst at the Benefit counter in Debenhams the girl also used High Beam on me but I was a bit cheeky as I knew that I had enough Boots points to pick one up there so I headed over the road to Boots. I also picked up some John Freda Hair dye as my grey hairs are starting to appear (the joys of getting old!)
Primark
I wanted to pick up something new to wear to the Bournemouth Bloggers meet up at the weekend but already had an outfit in mind so I chose these black studded pumps and a cute little bracelet to go with it.
John Lewis
I've been wanting to try Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish after reading about it on quite a few blogs so picked up a starter kit which has an 100ml bottle and two muslin cloths.
Lush
I popped into Lush looking for the Cupcake facemask but after giving it a good sniff I didn't think I was going to be able to handle the strong chocolate smell all over my face! So I picked up this lovely smelling bath bomb instead. Apparently you get quite a few uses out of it because you only need a small amount and it foams up really nicely.
Pandora
Finally I picked up the little rat charm which I featured in my February Wishlist which you can read here. I've popped it on my bracelet and it looks so cute!
So mr bank man won't be too happy that I had a little spending spree but I feel happy that I've been able to get a few things I've wanted for ages!

You picked up some great bits Holly :D I've only really bought a couple of the Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo Eyeshadows as there's not much else I need. Don't think I'll be reviewing them though as everyone else has haha.
