That bag does resemble the Mulberry Alexa in some ways, doesn't it? It is a brand-less bag without designer name or label and is made of leatherette. When I saw it selling on Ebay for about $30, I knew it would be perfect for carrying my books. I did buy it because it reminds me of the Alexa. Shame it is not the real deal, but I wouldn't carry bulky college textbooks and exploding pens in an expensive bag anyway, so this seems to be a good choice.
I also got the Osis+ Dust It Mattifying Powder off of Ebay because they don't sell them here. I'm not sure the Osis+ powder is doing anything for my hair so far. I've rubbed a bit of it onto my roots for more volume, but my hair goes poof for only 10 minutes before going back to normal. I blame the heat, but let's give it another try.
I bought these adorable ZIGIny flats to brighten up my dark dreary outfits from time to time. Plus, they come with the most adorable shoe sleeves and box. I'm a sucker for nice packaging. But aren't we all?
I picked up the softlips lip balm in raspberry because my other lip balms were running out and I always need to have a billion lip products all over the place. And also because I love raspberry and SPF lip balms. I always get a few of the softlips to throw in my bag, pocket, drawer, etc.
And that's it for my little haul. My favorite purchase? Why, the bag, of course. I can never buy too many bags.

is an excellent combination of moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen. It is non-greasy and goes on smoothly without streaking. It did not cause me any breakouts, whiteheads or negative effects like new products tend to. It is a true matte with high SPF coverage. This will surprisingly suit most skin colors well - but with only one shade, it won't do much for really dark or really light skin. The Intellishade technology is supposed to match the color to every skin type, but I think it only works so well because the foundation is sheer.
