Holiday Haul

I published my 'Capturing the Good Times' post a few days ago in which I uploaded lots of photos from my holiday. This time, I am showing what I bought when I was away. 

Although this may seem like I went shopping a lot, I bought this only over two days. I'll start with the two perfumes: Fleur d'oranger and Armani Si. Fleur d'oranger is from a shop called Fragnord mainly based in Grasse. I went to the factory and took a tour with my friend that I met up with. The tour ended in the shop; I repurchased my favourite perfume. I having been wearing this for years and have probably gone through about four bottles so I knew I would love this! As with the Armani Si, I have been eyeing this up for ages since meeting someone who was wearing it and smelt lovely. I bought this in Sephora because I think it works out cheaper than buying it back home. 

The mason jar is from Maison du Monde - a french store which I like to visit every time I go. I have been wanting a cup like this for ages because it is so cute and it looks nice in a room! Also, I have found that I have been drinking a lot more since buying it, as I am drinking out of a pretty cup - I'm not sure if there is any logic in that, just me being strange! 

I finally got my hands on a Mac lipstick! It was a special treat and I bought it in London St Pancras whilst waiting for the Eurostar. I know that I don't need another lipstick but I have been lusting over one for ages - mine is 'Velvet Teddy'. 

The next purchase is from Monoprix. Although you can buy 'Baby Skin' almost anywhere, I found that it was cheaper to buy it there and I had been wanting to try it anyway. I have never actually tried a primer before so I am looking forward to using it!

I love this next thing! It is a tote bag from a shop called 'Bathroom graffiti' in Cannes. This shop is really cool and I love going in every time I visit Cannes - I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are there. It is a gadget  come accessory shop. I always like to think that the things in there are quite unique. The bag I thought would come in handy a lot so I decided to pick it up; I also think the design is really cool. 

Finally, three home accessories from Maison du Monde: a Candle votive holder, a mint green pot and a pretty dish. If you have been following my blog for a long time, you will know that I uploaded a 'French inspired room decor' post showing parts of my room that I have tried to make French looking - if that makes sense?! So I thought these pieces would help the look I am going for. As you can tell from the photo, I have used the dish to display my earrings. In the mint green pot, I keep a back up candle votive which I keep next to my candle votive holder.
