AA wish list

Never could i normally ever justify the prices of American Apparel.

however..

my parents are off to New York in April. 

WITHOUT ME!!! *dying inside*

'an adults holiday, with no children' 

Hey! I'm 17! t-e-e-n-a-g-e-r  no child!

Take me!

And I'm going to save some money so they can do a little shop for me whilst they're out there..

When i was looking at the UK compared to the US prices i was shocked at how much us Brits are getting ripped off!

 Now i understand it will be cheaper in the states because it's a US brand.. but still!

Nail varnishs: US £3.48 each | UK £9.00 each!!

Velvet Cropped Tee: US £22 | UK £32!!

Denim Dungarees: US £55 | UK £76!!

ok, so i won't carry on, but you get the jist. AA is so flippin' expensive here and i honestly didn't realise how much of a rip off it is.. 

So I'm going to save up my wages, but what other brands/products are cheaper in the states does anyone know?

I know about makeup, i might ask for some Mac lipsticks and maybe Nars Sheer Glow foundation (once i get matched up)..

but is there anything else anyone could reccommend, please?

Brands/clothing/make-up/anything in general..

Thanks!

to make it worse my some of my friends are in New York at the moment on a Media Trip.

I didn't take Media, stupid fool i am.

I try not to think about the shopping they're probably doing now, 

but it's a sad sad time for me right now, wahh
