Designer Outlet: Beauty, fashion and snack haul....

During my busy two weeks i also took a trip to my nearest Designer Outlet, which is Cheshire Oaks.

I went there with Wes, my Boyfriend. The visit was mainly for Wesley to pick up some new jeans...he came home with not much but a full stomach after Fish and Chips and sugared Doughnuts!! I was slightly hung over after my Sister's Hen Party in Manchester, retail therapy is always the best hangover cure!!

I'm quite lucky because My boyfriend, Wes, is the type of guy who doesn't mind shopping and even helps me pick out stuff!! He's a Keeper!! ;)

I have been to Cheshire Oaks loads of times and i always manage to grab a Beauty Bargain there. I was so chuffed when i got there and they had opened a Body Shop!! Yey!! The discounts were great!! The shop Assistant also informed me they were getting a Wagamama's too....can't wait for that!!! I heart Wagamama's!!!

So here's what i purchased.....

First stop was The Body Shop, like i said there was some great reductions on their products. I bought three products which was 30% off (it was a further 10% of if you had a Body Shop card). I bought a new Shea Lip Butter (RRP £4.00) I got mine for £2.80.

I also picked up a Delipscious Tinted Lip Balm it doesn't say the shade on the product but it is a gorgeous pastel pink - perfect for spring!!

I keep trying new lip products in the hope they will help my dry lips, I'm pretty obsessed!! The texture is lovely and it has a lovely shimmery sheen to it. This was (RRP £4.00) but again i got this for £2.80.

Lastly at The Body Shop i picked up a single eye shadow in Golden Paprika Shade 08 (RRP £8.00) this was reduced to £5.60 which is ok but i wouldn't pay the £8.00 for this as it is quite small.

I love this colour, it has a really rich copper tone to it. It is very pigmented so you don't need a lot, Looks gorgeous on!!

Next stop was Claire's Accessories where i purposely went to look for a fascinator, i bought one last time i was there. This was also 30% off High Street Prices. I picked up an Ivory fascinator and a Champagne clutch bag both for £13.00 which i was very happy with! (picture at top of page).

I stopped at the Holland and Barrett Outlet Shop which was buy one get one half price on everything. I'm not sure of the difference in High Street Prices here but i am a regular shopper here anyway. I picked up some tea, my choice was Apple and Cinnamon, i also bought some yogurt covered raisins and Cranberries which i am obsessed with at the moment, i cant get enough of them!! I also picked up some mints (below) which i buy at my local Holland and Barrett's quite often.

My favourite shop in the Outlet is The Cosmetics Company Store, this is a beauty lovers Haven!!! I always manage to pick up a bargain here.

They sell high end cosmetic products such as, MAC, BOBBI BROWN, ESTEE LAUDER and CLINIQUE. I always head straight for MAC, they usually have the Limited Edition products in store such as last time i went they had the Wonder Woman range which was sold out in stores and counters.

I picked up a MAC Big Bounce eyeshadow in 'Up The Anti.'

This is a gorgeous creamy eyeshadow which has a sultry golden shimmer to it. I have used this on a night out and received compliments on the colour. I apply this using my finger as i find it blends easier and looks great with just black eyeliner or complimented with similar tones. I got this for £9.50 RRP (£13.50).

I also bought a MAC Lip Pencil in 'Naked Liner.'

I have been after a nude lip liner for a while, i also love this because it Can double up as a nude eyeliner. Love a multi-use product!! The pigment is lovely, it has a slight pinkness to it, great for the spring/summer with all the pastel colours that are in. I got this for £7.50 RRP (£10.50).

I found a lovely MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in 'Of Royalty'.

Again i have gone for a pastel colour. I am in love with this baby pink colour. I have a few MAC lipsticks and this will go nicely with my growing collection. This is very complimentary and really stands out, it has a slight sheen to it which i love as it glides easily onto the lips. Looks lovely with a nude/clear lipgloss too! I got this for £9.50 RRP (£13.50).

A complete contrast in Lip colours here: i picked up a MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in 'Good To Go'.

I was instantly in love with this tomato coloured lipstick, this is the silkiest and most vibrant orange/red lipstick and it looks amazing - very glamorous! It glides on your lips and feels so light. I cant wait to wear this on a night out. I haven't had one of these before so would like to test the longevity of this. I got this for £11.50 RRP (£16.50).

I also bought one product from BOBBI BROWN. This was the corrector in Light Peach.

I had this on my makeup want list so was so glad they had this in stock!! I have had this before so know this is a fab product!! I am doing my sisters makeup for her wedding so will use this under her eyes to hide any stress/tiredness under her eyes before using a concealer. I got this for £11.00 RRP (£17.00).

Lastly in this store i purchased another Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Pebble.

I usually pick this up here as i always have this foundation to hand. It is my 'failsafe' foundation. This foundation has great coverage and longevity. I have worn this on night out and i swear it is sweat proof!! I love it so try and replace it when i go here. I got this for £18.75 RRP (£26.50).

So i grabbed a few bargains at that store, i always do. The only downside is there isn't much choice of shades especially at MAC. But you can usually pick up a few limited edition or discontinued items there which is a bonus!

Last shop we went in was Next. Wes managed to pick up a few T-Shirts and shorts and i picked up a nude coloured dress (picture at top of page) for £14. It is a really light jersey dress which you can dress up or down. I wore it with black tights and shoe boots. I love the lace detail and pleated girly skirt. I wore this to My Sister in Law' s Baby shower and had a few compliments!

All in all it was a successful shopping trip! Well, for me!!

Where does everyone else shop for their Beauty Bargains?

Looking forward to going again and dining at Wagamama's!!
