What I bought on Black Friday 2018


Hello, friends! I hope you feel well, I haven't talked to you in such a long period of time, but Black Friday got me so pumped up that I decided to do a post about what I scored this year both in store and online , since I loove to see these kind of blogposts myself. Hope you'll enjoy it to, so have a nice read, let's go!


IN-STORE purchases


1st stop - ALDO



This year ALDO went all out by giving 50% off on almost everything! Well, the first thought that I had in my mind while going to the Shopping Center is to just see what's up and get that Black Friday vibe, but you know how it goes when you see such a big discount and such tempting (and super comfortable!) shoe styles :) I ended up buying two pairs of shoes - strappy sandals and oxfords.


Aaand that's not it for this store, before leaving I saw this gorgeous backpack, which style I wanted for so long, it's kind of Chanel-ish, but doesn't cost you a fortune, so I thought it would be perfect to carry all year long, so I bought it as well, yay!:)



2nd stop - Beauty Department


Looking at the beauty section in my local stores, I saw one brand that I wanted to try for so long, in terms of scincare, that brand is Origins and it has finally arrived to my city!  Okay, so a little bit of history, before mentioning a product itself. Recently, I went to Helsinki and bought there an incredible product by Scandinavian brand Foreo, which is a facial cleansing brush, that is made out of 100% waterproof and completely hygienic silicone. I love it so much, that I use it twice per day and now I've been looking for a good cleanser, which could work with this brush. 
So I bought their bestseller - Frothy Face Wash. I've already used it and I ot to say that it is a bestseller for a reason, it's so smooth and works with my face tool perfectly + it smells incredible: aroma of Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender and I'm in heaven. Plus got it for 30% percent off and recieved a whole batch of their best products in testers to try them out! Should I say that I'm over the top excited? :)




ONLINE purchases


At the end of every year I'm buying a new Moleskine weekly planner for myself, since I enjoy this system and from the previous year I started buying them for Black Friday,when I can grab them for a nice discount, I buy them online, because my local shops never sell them for the original price (always much more expensive) and should I mention that they never do sales :( 


Mango

It's already this festive time of the year, when we all need some pretty and maybe fancy clothing to go out (in my case to go out to theatres:) ) So I bought this beautiful pleated skirt in the color of midnight which has beautiful metallic sparkle all over it, one word - gorgeous! I ordered it for -30%, so it was a very pleasant purchase for my wardrobe!


H&M

H&M this year didn't have a huge sale neither on their website nor in stores, the discount they gave is 20%. So I decided to buy myself classic black velvet pants for winter, since prices in H&M are already affordable, I wanted to buy them anyways, but to recieve even a small discount was a pleasant addition to the purchase.


BeautyBay

And to wrap this shopping session up, I decided that my inner artist deserves a treat as well, so I went on BeautyBay and bought an item out of my wish list, which was 30% off, I believe. It is an eyeshadow pallete by Anastasia Beverly Hills, called Modern Renaissance. I know, I know, that everyone is already over it, but it's only now when I fell in love with its colors and want to use them to make some gorgeous makeup looks for myself, not just a la naturelle makeup look that I'm used to on a daily basis. Can't show you pics of it though, cause it's still delivering, but when it arrives I'll do maybe swatches and a little review on it, whether I'll like it or not (well, I'm pretty sure I will). Plus I got another item from this site, my all time favourite lip pencil - All Natural by Milani.

Okay so that's about it, I'm so happy with all of my purchases this year, and I want to know do you shop on Black Friday? And if you did this year, want to know what dupes did you get? Please share and confess in the comment section!

Looking forward to see your comments and already preparing the next post to keep this blog alive! :)
