Even though I was thoroughly spoilt at Christmas and vowed I didn't need to treat myself to anything come January I found I just couldn't resist a bargain. Which is how all the above happened!
However I'm so pleased with all my sale buys this month that I wanted to share them with you. Hopefully I won't be an enable here and encourage any last minute January spending - if I do, then apologies in advance hehe!
Make Up For Ever Smokey Extravagant Kit
£18.00 - Debenhams here (purchased at £12 in the sale!)
Starting with beauty first I picked up my first ever Make Up For Ever Gift set that was such a bargain at £12. I've dabbled slightly in MUFE before and always been pleased and as I was after a new mascara I decided to go for this set. As you can see it contains the MUFE Smoky Extravagant Mascara, Mini Aqua Eyes Pencil and 25ml Sens' Eyes Cleanser -a great little set to try out a few new products from Make Up For Ever. However so far I can't say I rate the mascara as it neither adds volume or lengthens, which is a bit of a disappointment. But the kohl eyeliner and eye makeup remover are making up for it as they are both amazing. I'm glad I picked up the kit, but at £18 I'm not too sure it's worth it!
Tous H2o 50ml
On sale £5.00 - Boots in-store
For the last few years I've been in love with Tous H2o and thankfully it can be often found in Boots in the clearance section for some amazing prices. In the past I've picked up a 30ml bottle for the amazing price of £2!!! but this time I stocked up with a 50ml bottle for £5.00 which is still pretty amazing! Other than absolutely loving the bottle design, H2o is a wonderful fresh aqua scent that's ideal for the Spring/Summer months. If you ever spot this in Boots and love aqua scents make sure to pick it up!

Roger & Gallet Bois D'Orange Huile Sublime 100ml
£16.00 - John Lewis here
Onto another scent that I picked up at the beginning of Jauary but not in the sale as I had a gift card to spend. This was a fragrance I first tried in M&S and loved but then after some research I realised I could go for the 'gold shimmer' version for £16 instead of £32 for the standard fragrant water. Of course some may not like the added golden shimmer but I personally don't mind it as it's only spritzed on my wrists and clothes so it doesn't really show. As for the scent I'd describe it as a creamy mix of orange and vanilla which is perfect for summer but as I love the aroma so much I'm finding I'm already using it. You can also find the R&G Gingembre Fragrant Water for £16.00 from John Lewis here.

Mantaray Nordic-inspired Snood
Was £18 Now £9 - Debenhams here
Onto non-beauty products now with a few accessories and something ideal for the next few colder months. This is a lovely Nordic style printed snood that is so well made and ultra warming with the inner fleece lining. From the online images I was expecting something quite lightweight so I was thrilled when this thick snood arrived; it's certainly warmer than all my other scarves and snoods and will be brought out when we're having cold snaps.

ASOS Structured Shopper Bag with Removable Clutch
£28.00 - ASOS here
Another non-sale item here but as I was so so pleased with this bag I decided to include it in the haul! This is my first ASOS own brand handbag and though it looked nice online it's even more amazing in person and very Zara-like both in the style and quality of it. Other than the bag being really well made I love the size and size of the bag and the added benefit of having the removable clutch that can free up more space inside the bag and of course be used as a clutch bag on a night-out or in summer. You can also find the bag in nude here... which I'm very tempted to pick up for Spring. Possibly my favourite buy of the month!

Woodland Animal Cloche
Reduced £4.00 - Homesense in-store
Last but not least I of course had a little trip to Homesense this month to snap up some post Christmas bargains. Along with a few seasonal items which I've already stored away for next Christmas I picked up this stunning woodland animal cloche that I was instantly drawn to. I was expecting this to be around £10 even though it was on the clearance aisle so I was amazed when I spotted the £4.00 price tag. I just love everything about this and know it will be something I treasure for many years.
Right, time for no more spending!
Hope you enjoyed the haul.
Fee xo.
