This is gonna be a long one.. I suggest you get yourself a cuppa!

If you're a student, I'm sure you'll have heard of the Student Sessions or Lock Ins that big cities host. They're an evening of shopping dedicated to students (university or 6th form) and loads of shops get involved to give special offers, discounts and giveaways. Essentially, it's a shopping addicts dream!

My friends and I chose to go to the Bristol night rather than Bath as they have a few shops we don't have here and their shops are also bigger. Everyone loves a little road trip.

The Body Shop

Offer: 10% off, free membership, £10 off £25 spend or free goodie bag with £25 spend, 3 for 2 on skincare

I knew there was a lot of bits I wanted from The Body Shop as I have got really into their tea tree range and find it's really helping my acne.
I picked up the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion, £3, and Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil, £13, which I already use and love. I have the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser but have heard really good reviews of the Tea Tree Cool and Creamy Wash, £5, so picked that up.
As I'm sure many acne sufferers will agree, my back is probably one of my worst acne areas, so I picked up the Tea Tree Body Wash, £6, to try and calm that down.
The final tea tree product was the Tea Tree Night Lotion, £9, which I'm going to apply over my serum  at night to help get rid of my spots.
The All-In-One Instablur, £14, took the beauty world by storm and I decided it's finally time to pick it up and try it out. It's a five action perfecter which is supposed to control shine for 12 hours, reduce appearance of pores, hide blemishes, unify complexion and extend make up. Expect a review on this soon!
Finally, I picked up the Wild Argan Oil Solid Oil Lip Balm, £4, as I have seen Fleur de Force raving about the range.

Everybody loves free things.

As I spent such an extortionate amount of money I got a free goodie bag worth just over £20. This contains the Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask, £13, Eye Definer in black, £8, Big & Curvy Mascara, £10, and Camomile Eye Make Up Remover, £8.
Total saving of £42.63!!!

New Look
Offer: 20% off

I wasn't really fussed about any of the clothes in New Look but I'd seen this oversized scarf in there previously and fallen in love with it. Full price is £14.99 and it's so soft and warm, it's definitely going to be an autumn/winter staple.

H&M
Offer: 20% off

I'm always wearing sweaters so when I saw this pug one I couldn't resist. It's quite thick so will definitely keep me warm, I just hope I don't spill anything down it! Full price £14.99 (not on the website).

Pull&Bear
Offer: 20% off

I've never been in here before but I really like the shop. They've got some great bits in there and it's quite cheap! I picked up this gorgeous sweater which my boyfriend agreed looks like it was made specifically for me as I'm a huge floral fan. It's quite thick so perfect for winter. Full price £19.99.

River Island

Offer: 20% off

My final purchase! I saw this when I was out with my boyfriend a while ago but felt full price was too expensive. When I saw River Island had 20% off I knew I was going to buy it. You can really feel the quality of the top and although it's short sleeved the material is quite thick. Full price £18.00.

I'm now banned from shopping for a long time, however I did save a total of £52.63. You have to spend money to save money.
