Window Shopping at John Lewis!

I've just found myself on the John Lewis website, window shopping and adding lots of lovely things into my basket that I haven't the hope of being able to afford at the moment (I've got Christmas, House and Wedding things all fighting for my pennies, so I'm desiring the champagne lifestyle but on a Tesco Value lemonade budget haha)... but a girl can dream, eh?! Do any of you lovely people do this kind of torture to yourselves when you're broke?

I'm a sucker for a candle, and just look at all the candles that I am desperate to add to my cart (and into my life) - and this is me being very reserved:

Neom Inspiration Violet, Chamomile & Cedarwood Scented Candle, 3 Wick (£39.50)
Neom Refresh Sicilian Lemon & Fresh Basil Scented Candle, 3 Wick (£39.50)
Diptyque Violette Scented Candle, 190g (£38)
Diptyque White Freesia Scented Candle, 190g (£38)
Jo Malone™ Pomegranate Noir Luxury Candle, 2.5kg (£260, eek... or failing that I'd settle for the £38 200g version)
Jo Malone™ Blackberry & Bay Home Candle, 200g (£38)


They also have some amazing decorations that I am lusting after, and am on the brink of purchasing as some have been reduced, just look at a few of them:

John Lewis Bullion Bauble Pack, Black/Gold, x12 (£8)
John Lewis Heart Glass Decoration Pack, Brown/Gold, x6 (£2.50)

John Lewis Stripe Teardrop Glass Decoration, Copper  (£1.50)
John Lewis Amber Stripe Glass Bauble (£1.75)
John Lewis Theatre Shatterproof Decorations Pack, x20 (£5)
John Lewis Amber Check Glass Bauble  (£1.75)
John Lewis Antique Glass Heart Decoration, Champagne (£3.50)

Aren't they lovely? I can't wait for Christmas now, even though I am not at all ready, or organised for it - haven't even got the tree out of the loft yet. Are you all more organised than I?

Fabulous Buyapowa Beauty Deals!

Buyapowa has took the internet by storm ever since its launch, it consists of people 'group buying' on many popular items (often that have been requested by make-up obsessives, like myself) which means that as more and more people purchase each item, the price gets lower and lower - for ALL buyers.

The site has seen many cult products already, with a steady stream of more coming through almost daily, so whenever I see something that really catches my eye, I will try to let you all know about it as soon as I can - since numbers of these products are usually limited, and the sales of them are for set periods of time.

First up is the GHD Gold Classic Styler for as low as £80, knocking a potential £40 off its usual price. Perect if you've been lusting after one but haven't been able to justify spending £120!

Next is a gorgeous Rose candle from Diptyque, usually costing £38, but available via Buyapowa for a stonking £28 (it looks like it will get to this lowest price too) - perfect for Valentine's day too, a total treat!

Finally there's a chance to get a £50 Escentual.com gift card for £30 - such a brilliant deal, especially as Escentual regularly have already discounted products on there.

I'm actually obsessed with Buyapowa - even when I'm not spending on there, I'm browsing to see what is coming up next... poor bank balance of mine.
