Florida shopping.


I thought today I would show you some of my latest additions that I picked up while I was in America.
I LOVE America for shopping, and always seem to go a little wild, but I am really pleased with everything that I bought. Pretty much everything I got over there was much less expensive than it would be if I had purchased it all at home (that's my reasoning...). I also find that when I'm there I buy things that I would never buy here but actually really want; ie, my new iPad (+ Marc Jacobs accessories ) and a Michael Kors watch (actually in love).

I also caved in and bought some American Apparel disco pants- and a leotard, yes, a leotard.... I don't even know who I am anymore. The disco pants though are brilliant. They're like Spanx! Definitely going to get my wear out of them.

Mainly thought I stocked up on cosmetics. Before I even got on the plane I was spending! I thought I'd pick up a couple of Duty Free treats and so bought Benefit 'Browzings' in Medium and an YSL lipstick in 'Lingerie Rose'.
In America they have my favourite beauty store Sephora, and so I took full advantage of that. There used to be Sephora stores in the UK years ago, and it was always my favourite shop when I was younger, so when they closed them down I was gutted! I picked up a really cool Sephora exclusive which is by Benefit and has their Porefessional primer, new Oxygen foundation, 2 shades of their Bo-ing concealers and a powder in. I love it, although I am trying not to get too attached as I know I won't be able to replace it.
I also took advantage of the fact that MAC is much cheaper of there and bought 3 lipsticks and a nail polish. I bought lip shades 'MAC red', 'Myth' and 'Nicki '.

That's all from me now, I think I have rambled on enough. If any of you guys have any questions on anything in this post, feel free to comment or Formspring me and I'll get back to you :). XXX

  10. Amazing purchases, always wanted a Kors watch but just can't justify spending that much. Love the MJ phone cover too and of course all the makeup. How much cheaper was the Mac stuff? I used to go over to Canada/US every year and everyone would always say how much cheaper the Mac makeup was but whatevr I'd buy i was always the same price!? :o
