The Help by Kathyrn Stockett 20p

I couldn't believe my luck when the first stall I visited at Battersea car boot sale had a brand new Urban Decay Naked Palette sitting casually on the table. Some very stylish ladies were holding the table too, my sister picked up a Love dress, H&M shorts and a silky shirt from them too. The problem was that I then ran out of money, so cue running to Tesco's to get some more cash to spend :)

Needless to say I'm visiting again next week in hope of some more incredible bargains!

And a little thank you to Sascha at beautygeekuk.com, I won her giveaway for a Garnier Oil Free BB Cream, and she was kind enough to throw in a few extras :) Initially I disliked it, as it was so liquidy, but now I am in LOVE with it, others I've tried pale in comparison (no7, original Garnier, Maybelline, L'oreal). It's my go to skin base at the moment: not orange (for me!), high coverage, SPF, matte like finish. Currently on offer at Boots for £7.49, I might stock up!

I wore it yesterday with some powder and I was even told by a stranger I could be on a HD channel :D

"Seriously good haul this year! Blimey, I think I'll come of age next year too!"

 

AWESOME gifts from my friends & boyfriend. One of the small pleasures of coming of age. 

1: berry shower gel, soap & glory goodies, 

maybelline gel eyeliner, no7 beautiful skin bb cream normal/oily, 

max factor 24hr mascara and smoky eye stick, 

17 berry crush lip tint, spiced instant chai latte 

2: miss selfridge ring

3: lush catastrophe cosmetic face mask & mint julips lip scrub,

 gosh nail polish in purple heart

Also got some misc gifts like silvery goblets, a fancy cake, 'G' letter mug, Chewits, mint liquor. Who doesn't love the random stuff friends comes up with? I've been doing that thing where you collect all your presents together and keep them there, even though this is mildly inconvenient... Makes me smile :) Very grateful to everyone!

Standard ebay shop spam: got a lovely Topshop jumper, a sheer contrast cardigan and a vintage tartan cape thingimajobby which is, in my opinion, pretty awesome.

And yes, I did wear these shoes below before I "hauled" them. Broke an unwritten blogging/youtube law...
