As last friday was good Friday I took advantage of a day off and went for a shopping trip with my mum. I am living on a tight budget at the minute as me and my boyfriend are saving for a mortgage deposit, So gone are the days of having loads of spare cash, and indulging in numerous shopping trips every month and hello to the budget shopping trips where my spending limit is a huge £25.00. Never the less I was determined to find some bargains to blog about and to make me and all the other bargain shoppers out there that little bit happier.
So the first place I visited on my shopping trip was Superdrug. I am loving Superdrug at the minute, I find myself spending so long in there just looking around just because they have so much to offer. There is only a tiny store in the town that I live so I normally wait until I am visiting a bigger town or city till I normally buy things.
So the first two items I got were both from the Vo5 plump it up range, I got the Amplifying blow dry lotion and also the Dry backcomb spray. My hair is not very thick so I am constantly trying new products in the hope of adding some volume to my hair. I have heard through the blogging grapevine that the Vo5 plump it up products are pretty good, and so I have wanted to try them for a while. Now they normally retail about £3.69 each but there is currently an offer on at Superdrug which meant I got both products for £4.99. I am not sure how long the offer is on, but yer that offer is definitely worth a look if you happen to find yourself in a superdrug any time soon.
Whilst in Superdrug I also got these amazingly cute nail art stencils from the finishing touches range. I love trying lots of different nail art so I was so happy to find these in store. You get ten heart stencils in the pack, Iam not sure if they are reusable just by looking at them (I am hoping they are) so ill have to use them and just see, but with them only retailing at £1.99 it wouldn’t be too bad if they were.
I then moved onto Primark where I bought a nail varnish from their angelica range, the one I got is called A3 Brit Pop 92. I really love this nail varnish as its gorgeous and glittery and for £2.50 for a 12ml bottle I think it’s a complete bargain. As you can see from the photo I have already tried this nail varnish and I am pretty pleased with the result. I would say that you probably need a couple of coats of this, as it goes on quite light, and I did put a clear coat over the top as I think it may flake away without it. But along with the top coat, its looking good so far.
I also got this gorgeous dress from Primark which cost £10.00, I got this dress in a size 8 now I am normally a size 6 so it is slighty bigger than I would of liked it but it still looked really nice, and for the price I just couldnt say no.
The final place I visited was Republic, Iam not sure if they are closing down or not but there was a massive sale going on in there, literally apart from the schuh department I think everything was on sale.
So from republic I got this gorgeous necklace from the Miso range. I do have quite a few necklaces of this design but I just really liked the pale pink colour of this one. It should have of been £6.00 but it had 20% off so it worked out at £4.80 which I thought was really good, and ran straight to the till to buy.
So overall I think I had a successful day shopping and I got quite a few bargins, which I was pretty happy about, and the best thing is I managed to stay within my budget as my total spending came to £24.28, just enough left for a cheeky chocolate bar as it is easter J
Thanks for reading…
