On Wednesday, me and my mother took a little trip to the Westfield Derby shopping centre for a bit of retail therapy. I was very kindly gifted a gift card to spend there as a little thank you from them for this post. We had a really lovely day and I managed to get quite a few things. For me, I'm a beauty addict and whenever I go out to buy clothes, I always end up coming back with beauty products. So this time, I decided to go into Boots last after I'd bought a lot of clothes as they're what I needed the most.

First of all we went to Nando's as by the time we got there, it was midday and we were both extremely hungry. It was my mum's first time in the restaurant and luckily for me, she enjoyed it. After that, we walked around the centre and ended up finding items in Dorothy Perkins, Quiz, H&M and Topshop. Originally, I had planned on spending the majority of my money in New Look as it's my favourite store but on that day, I just didn't have any luck. I paid for the Nando's on my gift card and my mum gave me the money for it back so I could also have a cheeky trip in Primark (which isn't in the centre) - how clever of us! We also ventured into Debenhams so I could have a sniff of the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent. Big mistake. It's beautiful and now, I need it but it's pretty pricey - boohoo.

Of course, I took a trip into Boots after I'd spent the majority of the money on clothing. Seeing as it's 3 for 2 on skin care products, I decided to repurchase the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix pads and the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo as they're two of my favourite skin care items at the moment. I then decided to get the Garnier 5 second Perfect Blur as I'm in need of a new primer and this one promises miracles, so why not? I was also in need of new eyeliners and my favourite Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hr Felt Tip Liner Pens were on offer for 2 for £5 so I decided to get two as I run out of them quite quickly. I then saw the Trevor Sorbie Brilliant Brunette Hair Mask in the clearance section for £2 so I picked one of those up.

I apologise that the pictures aren't the great - I'm really not the best at photographing clothes and they were taken when I was back home so I had to make the most of different rooms and space. I will however, more than likely be featuring most of the clothing in outfit of the days coming very soon so you'll be able to see them a little bit better. I'd just quickly like to say a massive thank you to Westfield for the gift card - it was incredibly kind of them and I had a great day in the wonderful shopping centre. The Westfield gift card is a great idea - you can spend it at most of the stores inside the centre which means you have a lot of variety and choice. Have you ever been to a Westfield centre before?

The gift card was gifted to me free of charge so a lot of the items mentioned were essentially PR samples. However, I wasn't asked to blog about my visit and all items were chosen by me.
