Recent Acquisitions Thread

I just got 2 yards of velvet fabric from......Wal-Mart. I am quite surprised Wal-Mart actually had lush velvet. I may wind up going back and get some more.

I went shopping for clothes with my paychecks from both jobs. I seriously needed some clothes.
For the first time in like forever I walked out of the change room with everything fitting.
I bought a coat in a style that I always wanted. It kinda looks like this.
I got 3 pairs of pants, 3 tops, a pair of black platform type shoes. THey come in handy for the rain in stead of wearing my sneakers.
A purple and black scarf, earrings, necklaces and some socks.
So I was pleased with the amount of stuff I bought

I bough some stretchy white and black snake skin print fabric. It has like a thin plastic coating on it. I bought it for something else, but i think I'll make a skirt out of it.

Well done Moon! Sounds like a successful shop.

We went out today and I bought a welcome garden stick with a vampire on it which is sitting in the big pot with my Winter cabbages, also got some plush bat hair slides, two pairs of boots for the girlies, a pumpkin paperchain and some gorgeous pumpkin scented candles

Just waiting for Mr D to be off work the Saturday after next and going to buy the HUGE metal haunted house! I cant wait

I know how good that feels.

I just got this jewelry box. Now to wait for it to come in so I can paint it.

That's a very nice Jewelry box.

I just got this beauty!! Cosmetics by Tarte



The colors are beautiful and the pigments are strong!!! a great buy!!

Chanel just came out with their Noirs Obscurs Collection which is made up of some super dark lipsticks and a fantastic eyeshadow quad. I got the lipsticks in Hysteria and Maniac...I might get the eyeshadow quad tomorrow. Here's a closer look at the collection.

I also went to Sephora and bought some eyelashes and white foundation and powder from Illamasqua. Don't ask me where I'll be wearing white makeup to. LOL

Oh, and I got some black matte lipstick from MAC. It's for the hubby's Halloween costume...I swear!!! I'm a little pissed though, because after I bought it, I crossed the street to Sephora and it turned out Illamasqua had a better black lipstick. Oh well.

^^Those lipsticks look amazing.

Wow those colors are great!

SPF and Diva: Those are *gorgeous* color collections! :-D

I kind of wish the Chanel video ad featured the model giving a sly glance and a mischievious grin. But I guess those are up to the wearer.

Bit of a splurge recently, just spent £95 on makeup (mostly MAC) and bought this -

^^ Ooh, very nice jacket!

I am very satisfied with Tarte cosmetics, but my new obsession is Illamasqua cosmetics.

^^Isn't Illamasqua fabulous?! It's one of my new favorites!!!

oooo I am liking this Illamasqua.

But it says it's for your alter ego.....which is not true! My alter ego probably wears Wet n Wild or Mary Kate and Ashley makeup. And lots of pink.

yes, I love the colors. Some reviews I have read say the eyeshadow is chalky.

Got this fabulous zebra print sequin bag at K-Mart the other day. It's super sparkly!

^^ Ooh, I really like it! Kmart? Not bad -- the bag or the price!

^^^Yeah, I was surprised at all the nice stuff they had at K-Mart the other day. I got some nice tights in plum and magenta in my size. It's hard to find good quality plus size tights in bright colors. Oh, they had nice clothes too. I got a sateen pencil skirt there. And a cashmere beret, and cute leather gloves with ruffles. And the prices were fabulous! I need to go to K-Mart more often. Screw you, Target!

Oh that reminds me! I need tights in multi colors - thanks La Diva!

I got these fabulous over-the-knee boots in black leather today during lunch! I'm sooo happy because I've been looking for an inexpensive pair for a while and given my chubby legs it was hard to find a pair that fit nicely.

They look and feel great and don't hurt my feet!

Ooh, they do look great! Very nice acquisition!

^^Thanks!

I can't wait to wear them. I'd put them on now, but i'm at work and I'm already wearing a mini dress....so...you get the picture. LOL
