Lorna Jane Warehouse Sale Haul


Hi everyone,

I know it has been a verrrrry long time since I last posted on the blog, but I have been sooo incredibly busy with assignments and revision for exams at school. Luckily I only have 3 exams this term! Anyway, last Saturday I went to a Lorna Jane warehouse sale where they sell old stock that didn’t make it to the stores as my cousin works at Lorna Jane with Marketing, so she helped make all the advertising for it. Also, it was a lot cheaper than buying them in store. I bought three items and they totaled $130 (I miscounted the cost as I thought it was worth $90, but it was still quite cheap compared to in-store prices).

The first item I got was the Celeste sports bra. I really like the sort of lacy detailing around the edges (and the fact that the padding makes me look absolutely stacked – did I just say that on the internet?). It is a really pretty sky blue and I am going to use it for dance and running, that I do on Saturday mornings. It is called parkrun and I might tell you more about it soon. The bra cost me $40 and would have ordinarily been $65.99, so that is a saving of $25.99 or about 40%.


The next item I bought were Hidden Tropicana tights. They go all the way to my ankles and on the inside, the top bit is all tropical (hence Hidden Tropicana). Oh, and are they tight!  I could almost not get them off! They are really nice and I will use them for running in the colder months, as it is getting into winter now. They were the killer for my wallet at $60, but would have ordinarily have cost $99.95. That is a saving of $39.95 or about 40%.


The last item I bought was a Sabotage Excel Tank top. It is so nice and breathable. It has a four-way elastic thing on the back which looks cool and stretches at the same time! I love the colour scheme of it and I will probably use this for running in the colder months, as it is nice to feel colder when you are running. I bought these for $30, but they would have normally been $65.99. That is a saving of $35.99 or about 55%.



The cost of the items I bought if they weren't marked down would have been $231.93. Overall I made a saving of $101.93 or about 44%. This makes me really happy and really excited for the nest warehouse sale as they still have way too much stock, apparently. It also makes me feel like applying for a job so that I can keep affording them, even thought they are marked down considerably. I want to be able to just about drown in Lorna Jane stuff, basically. Haha, not really. That would cost a lot.

Anyway, I should get going now, you may see more frequent posts on here as I have so many days off from exams its not funny. I have about 5 days, which is a really good opportunity to get writing for the blog because I feel like I have neglected it a lot, but my main priority is school at the moment.
Bye!

March Favourites



Hi all,

It has been a little while, but I have been busy with study and exams. Sorry about that.

Anyway, it is March favourites time!


First up is the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action face wash. It is a great cleanser and it has little scrubby bits in it to get rid of those pesky spots. I try to remember to follow it up with my Clinique toner and the Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish moisturiser. It works really well and keeps my skin relatively clear. It has been hot and sweaty for the past few months as it has been summer, so I'll see how it goes in the winter months.



Next up is The Sims 4. I know it's not a beauty thing, but I have really been loving it and the new expansion pack came out in Australia on 2 April and I love it. In it you can go to work with your sims (you can be a detective, a doctor and a scientist) or you can start your own business. Also, there are aliens; you can travel to their world and have babies with them Overall, I really love it and I can't wait to see any other expansion packs the Sims team come up with.

That is all I have liked in the month of March as I don't try new things often and if I said the same things every month you would get bored (although me not posting on ages probably made you bored too).

Anyway, I'll talk to you next week (I promise).

Bye!

February Favourites


Hi everyone!

Sorry I've not written in a while, but I've been really busy with school work (and I still am, but I have no homework at the moment, so I'll write this while I still can). This post is going to be a favourites and I think that is all I will do until the holidays because of the school workload. Anyway, on with the favourites!

First up is The Body Shop's Strawberry Hand Cream. This hand cream is so nice. I love the scent and it moisturises my hands really well. The scent stays on my hands for a really long time and it's pink. How can something be bad if it's pink!?


Next up are the Forever New Macaron Lip Balms that I bought on Boxing Day. I have taken them to school in my pocket every day and they moisturise my lips quite nicely and taste really good. I have mainly been using the lemon flavoured one, as that is the one I have been taking to school. Another pink thing; I think that *maybe* I like the colour.


I have also been watching a lot of Sims 4 videos on YouTube recently as I have the game and can't get enough of it. Some of the channels I recommend are FancySimmer, The Sim Supply, Deligracy, SofeeSims and KawaiiSimmerr. I love their videos and plan to do some of the challenges that they are doing.

They are all my favourites for this month, so I guess I'll speak to you next month for another favourites.

Bye!
