Weekend splurge!

You know how it goes, you nip into the city to pick up 1 thing and come out with multiple items!! Well this seems to be the story of my life at the moment! I went in for conditioner and came out with more than just a bottle of hair product...oopppsss!! To make myself feel less guilty I thought I would share my little purchases with you all (then it has another purpose right?).

As you can see I got a tad over excited at the Benefit counter! I can honestly say its been such a long time since I purchased any Benefit products. I used to be an avid user of The Porefessional   but its £24.50 price tag stopped me repurchasing. However recently I have struggling with visible pores so I decided to treat myself and get a new tube. I also recently used up the last of my Urban Decay eye primer, which lasted me a ridiculous amount of time. I had heard so much about the STAY DONT STRAY £20.50  eye primer that I decided to give this a try and see how it fares in comparison.  I will be sure to do a full review/ comparison when I have had a chance to try it for a while.  My final Benefit purchase was their beautiful Rockateur blush £23.50. I have to say this was most defiantly a purchase on a whim! This blush had never appealed to me, mainly because I thought it would be overally shimmery. I ask the sales assistant to try it on me and instantly fell in love. It is such a beautiful rose gold colour, which makes my skin look (as cheesy as it sounds) 'lit from within'. I cannot wait to try this properly! 
Moving on from Benefit, I next happened to walk past the Estee Lauder counter, when my eyes were drawn to the holy grail that is Bronze Goddess perfume. I have been keeping my eyes peeled for its arrival, as my bottle from last year is only 1/3 full and this is simply my favourite summer scent. As it is limited edition I snapped it up quicker than you can say "beauty addict"! At £47 it was a naughty purchase, but one I had been waiting to make! 
My final stop was Boots, where I picked up a new conditioner and a 17 shimmer brick. I think I must have been on a 'bronze' mission after I smelt the sweet scent of summer so my eyes were instantly drawn to the 17 Shimmer brick £4.99 . I am really looking forward to playing around with this to see what kind of things I can do with it. Im hoping some of the colours will look pretty on the eyes. My final purchase was the conditioner I originally went in for. I decided to try a new one, so opted for the Garnier Ultimate blends, silly smoother. I have heard some people talk about this range and so decided to see what I make of it. I'm not sure how it will fair as I have a really sensitive scalp and so some products give me a really itchy head! We shall see!! This is currently on offer at £1.94 but is usually £3.89. 

So there you go, my random, spontaneous, naughty but very satisfying Saturday splurge! Have you splurged recently? If so what did you buy? Do you tend to splurge on makeup or clothes?! I would love to know. Please don't forget to follow me on bloglovin!
