I was a bit depressed today, so I went on a shopping spread during my lunch break:

got the Chanel Rouge Allure Laque from John Lewis with 10% off; it was out of stock when I tried it last week in House Of Fraser, so I'm quite glad I found it cheaper. This is my forth lipstick/lipgloss in a month... I guess I reached my yearly quota for 2009. ;)

I'm sooo glad I popped in Mango today... I had a 25% off voucher, but nothing in mind... well, I found few things... hehe =P

You can't really tell from the picture, but the vest has got sparkling filaments knitted into it... it's a berry purple colour and I like the length: it could nearly be a dress.

I've been looking for a fuschia lipstick for a while... i like the Lancome Color Fever in Rock Icon  Fuschia no. 318 and also MAC Girl About Town... but I ended up buying YSL Lip Twins.

The package's so cool... plus it's like two lipstick in one (a matt fuschia one and a shimmering orange one)... you can mix them together or wear them alone... it also has a lip brush and a mirror incorporated... and finally i got it on offer! ;)

Givenchy galore

Went to collect my Givenchy lipgloss and blusher from Debenhams today:

They are both quite subtle, but leaves a nice iridescent look.

More make-up

Clinique' Bonus Time at John Lewis... so took advantage of it!

I bought the Brush-On Cream Liner and the Turnaround Instant Facial: they are both new to me so looking forward to tried them.

Freebie:

Richard (my boyfriend) and I went for dinner at Corinthian tonight; I had sea bass and he ate steak. Food was quite nice, but portions were tiny and so disappointing that i didn't even dare order a dessert. 

Btw, I bought an handbag hook in the afternoon: i always wanted one, they seem to be useful, practical and safe; when you go to a restaurant, you never know where to put your bag and it ends up on the floor (CRIMINAL!!!)... and so finally found one in a cool design.

Also found in the mail box my new hard drive. Richard's is a WD, so I got one too... in red... so pretty! =P

I, originally, wanted the other model in metallic red but couldn't find it in 320gb, and also got a good price on amazon.

It was Debenhams spectacular sale weekend again and as usual i wait for these events to stock up on 'must-have' make-up goodies, but I was a VERY nice girl today, 'cause I just bought ONE lipstick.

ummm, maybe i'd confess that the other lip gloss, blush, parfume i wanted are currently out of stock =(

Btw I came home with this petit bijou:

The colour is exactly the shade of baby pink i was looking for and the texture is so light, you don't even notice you're wearing it. Plus the packaging is so luxurious and also comes with a useful mirror on the top of the cap.

Today, back in the darkroom... after more than a year... it was great! I, recently, bought a digital camera, but still believe film is better;and I'm not only talking about the quality, but the feeling of the all process you need to go through: developing a film (praying: oh god, please, let's hope something comes out) and printing the photos (which can take hours and hours of tries before getting the perfect balance of b&w).

At the end of the day, you come out of the darkroom, a bit smelling for the chemicals, but utterly satisfied!
