Car boot sale finds

Now it is a pain having to get up early on a Sunday morning to go to a car boot sale, when all you want to do is have that long lie in, but it is worth it when you find some great bargains. I must admit it was a bit of a shock to the system this Sunday so I didn't get there as early as I would have liked. And you know what they say the early bird catches the worm!! But I did still find a few real treasures.

I am always on the hunt for some makeup bargains but this time was a bit of a disappointment but that's what you get with a car boot. However, there were some amazing old cameras that I just couldn't leave. I absolutely love old fashioned cameras, I've got a growing collection of about 10. I know I'm a bit obsessed haha!! The first camera i picked up for only £4 was a Zenit EM olympic edition camera, isn't it beautiful? It works with a 35mm film and has a Pentacon 1.8/50 lens, not that I know what that means though haha!!



The next camera I got is a Brownie box camera this just makes me think I'm in the 1800s or something. This was £2.50 which I think is an ok price. It doesn't have a lens and I am pretty sure they don't make film for this anymore and that if there is any still around it will be pretty expensive. But it is absolutely beautiful and it will look very pretty and vintage on display somewhere. It actually still has film in the camera which is used and I am tempted to try and find a place that will develop the film so I can have a look at the pictures. The film is probably out of date now but wouldn't it be great it they could be developed.





The final thing I got was an absolute bargain it was only 20p for this Clinique eyeshadow quad. The colours are really pretty I especially love the shades gold rush and daybreak because I think they will really complement my blue eyes and make them stand out. The only disappointing shade is strawberry because it doesn't have much pigmentation but I rarely wear pink on my eyes anyway and for 20p you really can't go wrong. They have a lovely sheen to them which I think will look beautiful on the eyes and making your brush wet and then applying them will make them look really nice and metallic.







I am soo glad car boot season is back because I can't wait to pick up some more amazing bargains. I hope you liked having a look at the treasures I picked up last Sunday and I would love it if you would tell me the best thing you've ever picked up at a car boot sale.
