My week, purchases and future posts...

It's been a very busy week for me this week! I ended up going to Wales for a few days with my family which was a nice change of scenery. I've also been ill for weeks on end (immune system is failing me!) and I've had various appointments with my doctors. So, after a gap in posts I'm back. I've accumulated an awful lot of stuff this week, more than I realised actually! I'm a bit unsure of what to post about first because I bought so much stuff, so this post is going to be a general list of what I bought and then over the next few posts I'll talk about the different items in more depth.

The lovely Wendy at painttheukpink.blogspot.co.uk shared a 50% off code at e.l.f. on Twitter last week and I just could not resist! I ended up spending close to £100 (eek!) but after the discount it worked out just under £50. I know this is a huge amount but two of the items which I'm in love with should have cost me £28 alone so I see this as a complete bargain! This is what I ended up buying from their website:

 

I'll review these items in more detail over the coming weeks but my next post will be about the eye set I bought (the white box at the back). Generally I'm really happy with what I bought and the amount I saved and I'll tell you more about these soon!

Another website I ordered off was Fragrance Direct and I spent just over £33 there which I think was a bargain as some of the items I got have quite an expensive RRP. This is what I bought from them:

I bought various items from various brands including Dainty Doll, Toni & Guy, Revlon, Essie, Sally Hansen, Maybelline and many more. I've tried a few of these items and will be posting reviews in the coming weeks.

I went food shopping yesterday and couldn't help but pop in to Superdrug (I have zero will power). Most of what I bought was on offer which somehow justifies my purchases in my mind! I bought some VO5 hair products and some MUA make up:

The VO5 products are Dry Texturising Spray, Tame & Shine Spray, Dry Backcomb Spray and Volumising Spritz. I'm going to try these products out over the next few weeks and let you know what I think about them. The MUA products are the Undress Me Too palette, Shimmer Highlighter, Extreme Contour Liner and the Radiant Under Eye Concealer. As with the VO5 products I'll let you know what I think once I've tried these out.

As you can see I've got a lot of things to get through in the near future as well as all the beauty products lying about my room (I'm clearly an addict). I'll try and get through them as quick as I can! 

I've also got some Real Techniques brushes on their way to me so I can't wait to get my hands on them! 

Have you tried any of these products? If so, how was your experience with them? Have any of these items been on your wish list?
