How I'd Spend £500.00 in Debenhams!

If I had £500.00 to blow in Debenhams here is how I would do it.

I'd start off with Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence. The 100ml eau de parfum is £96.00. I love the original Decadence. I wore it yesterday and could smell it all day!

Next I would pick up Too Faced Candlelight glow powder for £25.00.

I would buy two new MAC make-up brushes; MAC 239 eyeshader brush for £21.00 and MAC 227 large fluff brush £23.50.

I would try Kat Von D's Studded Kiss lipstick for £16.00. I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. It looks rather bulky but look at the cute little Kat Von D logo on the lipstick and how nice is the colour in the picture?

I don't think I've ever bought clothes from Wallis before but they have loads of lovely stuff at the minute. This gorgeous, berry top is £35.00.

MAC's dusky rose eyeshadow palette is just £25.00 which I think is amazing value.

If £500.00 doesn't make itself available for me to blow I will be putting Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator on my Christmas list. It is £34.00 for 50ml. I had a 15ml sample of this a while ago and loved it!

Tom Ford's White Patchouli is £108.00 for 100ml. It is another long lasting scent and it has been on my want list for years.

I would also get myself a Clinique chubby stick intense moisturising lip colour balm for £17.50.

Another purchase I would make would be Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum for £72.00.

I also love this cute Red Herring white pompom hat which is only £8.00.

My final purchase would be this Miss Selfridge gingham pink/cream/camel scarf, which is £16.00 and takes my total spend to £497.00.

I think that would be £497.00 well spent!

My Christmas wish list!

I am trying to cut down on spending at the minute, which makes it difficult to browse the internet without wanting everything I see.

Here are a few things on my wish list at the moment.

1) An emerald ring - I have wanted an emerald ring for years now, but they don't come cheap. The one pictured below is 9 carat gold. It is from Ernest Jones and costs £399.00.

2) Camera print scarf - I saw this on notonthehighstreet.com for £12.95, but it is also on Amazon.co.uk for £4.99. As I have mentioned before I am a bit obsessed with printed fabrics at the minute and this scarf is perfect for me.

3) DKNY Sweet Delicious Key Lime Tart perfume - I tried this in Debenhams when I was on holiday in Devon earlier this year. It isn't available in the Debenhams stores near me, but is available online. I hope to get this before it sells out!

4) Rimmel Scandal Eyes Flex mascara - When I went out with a friend recently I couldn't stop staring at her lashes. I asked if she had dyed them as they looked dark, but natural. There was no clumps or anything and you couldn't tell she was wearing mascara although her lashes looked great.
She told me she was wearing this Rimmel mascara so I am now desperate to try it for myself!

5) Too Faced Pink Leopard Blushing Bronzer - I remember reading a review of this a year or so back and it is just so cute. The packaging is lovely as well. It is round and gold coloured to resemble a coin with a pattern around the outside and 'Too Faced' imprinted in the middle. I'd love to try this out.

6) Tan Contrst Croc Print Metal Plate Bowler Bag - I could do with a new handbag and a while ago when I was in New Look they had some lovely handbags at very reasonable prices and I was impressed.
I like this brown bowler bag that I found on their website. It is only £19.99, which I think is fantastic. It looks really smart.

7) Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir - a fragrance I have wanted since long before it came out and I still have not bought this. I was going to buy it in Boots points event in July, but they only stock the 30ml and 50ml and I want the 100ml bottle so I didn't end up getting it. This is the only Juicy Couture fragrance that I don't own so it will definitely be joining my collection soon.

8) Irregular Choice clutch bag - I love this gorgeous detailed clutch bag. The large side bow looks great. I have had my eye on this for a while.

9) Iron Fist peep toe shoes - These peep toe shoes were in my basket today at www.ironfist.co.uk, where they were in the sale reduced from £74.99 to £18.75, which I think is great value, but I have so many shoes and so much to pay for these next few months that I talked myself out of buying them! They are so cute though. I love Iron Fist shoes. Their designs are so unique.

10) Barry M dazzle dust - You can never have enough Barry M dazzle dust. I only have a few pots. I have a silver and a bronze colour, but I'd love to add a few more bronze and gold shades as to my collection it is excellent quality and although the pots seem quite small they last for ages.
