Visiting carboots have been my favourite past-time lately
and having been working night-shifts I have been able to go straight to my
local on Sunday morning after work meaning I have been there nice and early.
Lately I’ve been working day shifts so if I get to go it isn’t until later on.
I still managed to pick up some nice items this week though.
1. This book is by
Reader’s Digest and contains 1, 700 tips and uses for everything things. I love
books like these, though I usually forget to use the tips!
2. Style me
Vintage explains the looks and influences for each decade and how to create the
hair and make-up. I picked these two books for £1.80 for both of them.
3. Spider-man 3 DVD – 50p.
4. Models Own nail varnish in Indian Ocean, sealed. This is
a blue-pink shimmery varnish and looks lovely on, I was worried it would look a
little childish but it doesn’t. 30p.
5. Two bangles, I love opal-type effects and peacock prints
so these were a must for me. 10p each.
6. Smashbox shadow converter. The idea is you use this to
convert any shadow into an eyeliner. Sure I can use water but I don’t always
have it to hand. I have not seen this before but I would presume this is a
sample size, looks like it has been used once. 30p.
A few pictures below from the Style me Vintage book. Ignore the ornament, I used it to keep the book open whilst I took the photo. Can you guess which era's they are?

It is, especially if they are films you are only going to watch once. There are a couple of entertainment shop chains that sell second-hand dvds on the high street at the moment that I find pretty good. Thanks for visiting. x
