When I arrived at MAC, the counter where the lipstick were was crowded by the make up artists that work there, as well as a lot of girls who wanted a lipstick for themselves. I waited until one of the ladies that worked there came over to me and she asked if she could help me with anything. We talked a bit about make up in general and I explained I was looking for an every day nude. We looked at some different colours and I decided between three of them to swatch. After I tested the colours, I made my pick and went for 'Viva Glam II'. I had to use up my gift card because otherwise the money that was left on the card would not be of any value any more. The lady asked if I maybe needed a lip liner with it. So again we searched for a colour that matched the lipstick. I ended up choosing for 'Boldly Bare', again a nude colour. 

As it was my birthday a week or so after this shopping spree, I couldn't resist to pick up some more MAC goodies. I mentioned that I always carry some kind of chapstick with me. The lady recommended the Lip Conditioner Stick which helps to condition and moisturise the lips and it smells like vanilla which only adds to the luxurious feeling. 

Leaving MAC without one of their eyeshadows was not an option. I picked up a single eyeshadow in the colour 'Cranberry'. I normally tend to go for again more neutral colours, but this time I wanted a more bright eyeshadow that can make the colour of my eyes pop. We chose this cranberry colour due to my green eyes. I have yet to try this eyeshadow but I'm sure that this will matched my green eyes perfectly. To go with the eyeshadow, I also bought a purple kind of mascara, just because I never had a coloured mascara and I'm curious on how this will suit me. 

This was my first experience in MAC and I have to say, I am definitely going back for some more make up when I have some money to spare :) 

If you've never been to MAC, just go in there. Only looking at all the make up made me happy and made me wish I had that much. But I'm grateful for what I have and I can't wait to test out these products!

This next and final thing she bought is a knitted sleeveless top. This is more of a long top with a wider neckline but paired with the jeans jacket or even the top on its own is very stylish. Tucked into some skinny jeans looks very classy or if you leave the back from the top out of the jeans you get a more casual look. I hope you enjoyed this little fashion haul!

As we arrived at the thrift shop, we immediately saw these little heart plates or bowls, perfect to hold your tiny earrings or even rings. They went straight into our basket and because of these, I had my eyes peeled for more glassware. The style of the things I picked up is really feminine and elegant which I love.

The vase was the next thing I saw and compliments the heart shaped bowls. The metal plate on the picture I bought as well. It has a few scratches but I don't really mind, it was only 50 cents. Besides the vase and the two glass hearts I also bought a tiny bowl (I think it is actually an ash tray) and a big bowl to store some bits I don't have a place for.

All these glass things somehow look the same. I recently bought a glass table at Ikea and they fit perfectly on there. I could have bought more in the thrift shop because you will always find something that is unique or quite rare. 

I also got my hands on a pair of "mom jeans" for only two euros (there was a discount that I didn't know about until I paid and saw the receipt!) but I don't have a picture of those. An outfit post on how I style these jeans will come your way next week! My sister also bought some clothing from this shop, which will be featured in another blog post coming soon. 

We will definitely go back in a few weeks or months because you never know what you could end up with.
