Essie polishes - TK Maxx | Nail Lacquer in 'Mount Royal' - American Apparel | Jemma Kidd Makeup Bag - Space NK | Laura Mercier Eyebrow Pencil - Space NK

Recently, i've found myself becoming more and more obsessed with beauty products. I blame part of this on my love for reading beauty blogs and part of it on my slightly more extended budget - now I can afford to splurge £30 on foundation and almost £20 on an eyebrow pencil. I want to share a few of beauty products i've picked up recently; some of them were free but the majority were bought for a fraction of the original price!

My last eyebrow pencil was by Max Factor and I had just finished my second pencil when I decided to pop into Space NK on the Triangle in Bristol. The Laura Mercier eyebrow pencil caught my eye so I decided to get matched and I was matched to the Soft Brunette shade. It's so soft and you barely have to use much to create a nice eyebrow shape. Unfortunately they didn't have the pencil in stock so I was sent a free delivery code instead. With this I decided to pick up a new makeup bag by Jemma Kidd in the sale as my old one was becoming quite tatty!

Nail polish wise, you could say i'm slightly obsessed! However, it helps that I managed to get all of the above for free/very cheap. All 7 Essie polishes came in two £9 sets from TK Maxx (go check out all the sets e.g. OPI, Models Own, Nails Inc) and I picked up the last free American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Mount Royal last week when they sent out the free offer.
