Procrastination Haul

I often find myself doing absolutely anything to avoid marking my kiddies books. From hoovering, dusting and even arranging things that have no reason to be arranged! But on one particular occasion, I found myself going to town and spending... rather unnecessary!
However, my excuse is (and yes there is one!) I had to return some online purchases to Newlook and I was in need of a mascara, although as you'll see, I didn't just walk away with a mascara!



Most of my goodies were on sale and I managed to grab myself some great bargains.
My first purchase was a bag from River Island, on sale for £20 (although the original price was missing, it was probably £30-£35). It's a great size and can easily fit A4 documents, perfect for College, Uni, or in my case School! It's navy in colour with a light grey strong strap for wearing over the shoulder. 
I've yet to use my second River Island purchase, but it was a small leopard print satchel which I though was too cute to not buy! Reduced from £20 to £10, it was a steal!

I was in need of some black heels and found this pair reduced from £14 to £10 in New Look. They were the right height and perfect to wear for any occasion. 

The second pair, also from New Look set me back £10! (Reduced from £22) and although I admit, very similar to the first pair, these have a double strap and a chunky gold heel and a zip at the back, making it easy to peel off at the end of the day! 
My last 2 items from New Look were these amazing necklaces both reduced to £4. Perfect for adding a bit of bling to a simplistic outfit. 
I purchased this Wild Mega Volume mascara, but it's not the best mascara I've tried. It doesn't seem to have much liquid product inside and therefore doesn't apply much to the lashes.
 I repurchased the MUA Extreme felt liner, at £1, it's a great product and makes creating a cat wing liner easy. 
I had heard lots of Youtubers raving about the Loreal Super Liner and wanted to see what the fuss was about. But actually I was left disappointed. For a product that was about £6, it doesn't seem to coat the tip of the liner with enough product, meaning that you can't apply your eyeliner in one stroke, but instead have to do it in several.  
My final purchase was another repurchase, this time of the Palmers Daily Facial Lotion which I use as a daily moisturiser before applying my makeup. I'm currently using 3 other products of the range for my skin care routine, including the Night Renewal Cream, Eventone Dark Spot Corrector and the Line Smoothing Eye Cream. All of these products have a thick creamy texture which leave your skin feel soft and supple.
