You have £20 to buy one thing... What is it?

It can be a product, make-up, an accessory, clothing item, anything. You have £20 lurking in your purse and it's whispering 'spend me, spend me'. You are allowed to have change left over.

Mine is A England nail varnish, dragon and princess sabra to be precise. - a-england.co.uk/9-the-legend

Oops, I broke my own rule and picked two things. Dragon over princess sabra, methinks.

Rapid lash I reckon - its having a huge effect on my eyelashes/brows - I rally didn't think it would work and I have trich so I should know!
If not that the touche éclat - always worth the money Grin

Books for the kids

Come on TrinityRhino, something frivolous and for yourself. But yes, if I'm being totally honest, I'd probably spend a spare £20 on DS. That's no fun though. If you could spend it on yourself, what would you get?

Sorry, erm kindle books for me Grin

A bottle of wine AND a bottle of Disaronno.

Cheers Wine.

Charliefox · 27/08/2012 09:42

Perfume or foundation.

colditz · 27/08/2012 09:43

A particular revlon red matte lipstick that I lost last year

Pascha · 27/08/2012 09:47

A new bra. Mine are all a little tight now I'm feeling the need for a band size up.

lairymum99 · 27/08/2012 10:55

Oops... I bought these earrings yesterday for no good reason other than that I'm worth it Blush

ScooseLooseAbootThisHoose · 27/08/2012 10:56

Either touché éclat or urban decay eyeshadow primer.

buttercrumble · 30/08/2012 20:58

Good quality red lippie.......

yawnalot · 30/08/2012 22:17

New Shellac polish or a MAC plushglass lippy..

Itsgottabebags · 30/08/2012 22:25

Chanel nail polish

StarlightMcKenzie · 30/08/2012 22:27

A new pair of shoes. My current pair have a whole in the sole which lets the rain in.

daisydoodoo · 30/08/2012 22:41

A manicure. I'd need the time as well as the money though.

ComradeJing · 30/08/2012 22:42

Nail polish for me I think.

Until I went shopping today I would have said the new YSL foundation, Mac Opulash Mascara or Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser.

TellyBug · 30/08/2012 22:49

Chanel nail polish is rubbish! Buy for bottles of Rimmel pro.

I would buy a Lancombe mascara. Can't remember which particular one... Star something or other.

TellyBug · 30/08/2012 22:51

bucketbetty · 30/08/2012 22:51

Definitely concealer, preferably Touche eclat.

NoComet · 30/08/2012 22:55

Guilt free rummage through the sandals sales.

DD2, quite rightly pointed out I have lots already.

I maintain that as she's pinched my gold ones I'm entitled to another pair.

bubalou · 30/08/2012 22:56

crack rapid lash? I have very sparse eyebrows & nothing works? Tell me this does???

I would buy £20 worth of krispy kremes as our local tesco has just had a krispy Kreme cabinet installed. I have resisted so far! Wink

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 30/08/2012 22:57

ooh god, I was so happily going to post a huge box of special chocolates..
