Carboot sale haul

Visiting carboots have been my favourite past-time lately and having been working night-shifts I have been able to go straight to my local on Sunday morning after work meaning I have been there nice and early. Lately I’ve been working day shifts so if I get to go it isn’t until later on. I still managed to pick up some nice items this week though.

Bargain purchases from a car boot sale including books, dvds and cosmetics.


1. This book is by Reader’s Digest and contains 1, 700 tips and uses for everything things. I love books like these, though I usually forget to use the tips!

2. Style me Vintage explains the looks and influences for each decade and how to create the hair and make-up. I picked these two books for £1.80 for both of them.

3. Spider-man 3 DVD – 50p.

4. Models Own nail varnish in Indian Ocean, sealed. This is a blue-pink shimmery varnish and looks lovely on, I was worried it would look a little childish but it doesn’t. 30p.

5. Two bangles, I love opal-type effects and peacock prints so these were a must for me. 10p each.

6. Smashbox shadow converter. The idea is you use this to convert any shadow into an eyeliner. Sure I can use water but I don’t always have it to hand. I have not seen this before but I would presume this is a sample size, looks like it has been used once. 30p.


A few pictures below from the Style me Vintage book. Ignore the ornament, I used it to keep the book open whilst I took the photo. Can you guess which era's they are?

    1. It is, especially if they are films you are only going to watch once. There are a couple of entertainment shop chains that sell second-hand dvds on the high street at the moment that I find pretty good. Thanks for visiting. x
