I just went to the Bullring in Birmingham to go shopping and I spent 300 pound on make up before I even made it out of Debenhams!
On the plus side thanks to the lovely people on the Benefit counter im equipped with grown up make up and the ability to contour!
Anyone else treated themselves recently?  |

"That is a LOT of money on make up  "
Yes is it does seem excessive but I needed pretty much everything! Plus skincare so not so bad really. I won't be needing to splurge that much on it for a while  |

I bought some Sensodyne toothpaste - trying that instead of the Wilko variety. |

"The good old white stuff is the best thing for a ladys face....and i dont mean milk 
Lots of men say that but don't seem keen to use it themselves 
There is only so much to go round - and we prefer to see the benefit on our ladies' faces.."
I see, a selfless act really then |

Good on you for spending your money on something you want!
I'm buying my first home at the moment so haven't really spent much on myself. I did buy myself a louis vuitton handbag before xmas though... I wasn't sure if I'd ever have any money to treat myself so lavishly again! |

I actually bought some new tops and underwear for keeping at ads house today, which for me is a huge thing as for the past 6 months I haven't been able to afford anything, not even hairdye!! So I'm happy!! |

I did the exact same in urban decay after my first grown up pay check! When you get good makeup though it really lasts! |

"That is mad amount, unbelievable, you can get the same result with some tenners "
Yeah I imagine you can but I'm no good with make up at all so was nice to have someone show me and colours I should use etc. It was worth the amount I spent for the info I got and a make over plus I think it should last a while. |

I am cutting down on buying clothes and shoes this year because I really don't need anything and it's just greed.
But I did buy some Hunter wellingtons, in the sale, some Clarks shoes for work, so they don't count as they're not going out shoes and a Manteray skirt but definitely from now on I'm not buying anything |

Oh I did! There was some eye cream I wanted but didn't want to spend anymore so I just got a load of samples that's probably more than a pot full. Lots of other bits too. |

Yeah coz you often get samples of new stuff etc. I love them too. I needed the free stuff to soften the blow of spending a week's wages |

I treated myself to my favourite perfume the other day. Perfume is my 'thing' ya know instead of shoes or bags or whatever..but I can never afford expensive scent being a single working mum. But when I got paid I had more than I expected so I splurged! |

New underwear and shoes.
I agree that good make up is worth the money. Though I'd hate to think how much my make up bag is worth! I'm a big benefit fan 
Enjoy your purchases OP. |
