Haul- Pamper Time

I popped into Boots yesterday with the intention of getting a hair mask that would sort out the dryness from all the swimming i've been recently doing.....but of course I picked up some extra things. I also got some great recommendations for hair products from my lovely followers, but in the tiny Boots I went into there was limited choice available, heres what I got.......

• Chocolate Masque- £1.01
• John Frieda Miraculous Recovery- £5.89
• Watter bobble- £10.00
• Umberto Giannini enviable body blow dry spray- £5.49
• Umberto Giannini shapely body mousse-  £5.49.....there was a special offer and I got these 2 products for £7.50, I love a bargain!

I'd been looking into getting one of these bottles for a while and just never got round to it. I happened to see them when I was in Boots so thought I would pick it up. Now I know to some of you this may seem silly...but I'm just fussy about my water! Water is all I tend to drink really, people think i'm being cheap or on a health kick, but really I just like it. At home I always drink filtered water so this bottle that filters any kind of water as you drink seemed perfect (apparently it can even make dirty puddle water drinkable, although I'm not sure I want to try that). Also better than reusing lots of plastic bottles so i'm doing my part for the environment ;)

This mask was also something I just picked up on a whim. I'm prone to very dry skin and while my Liz Earle products tend to normally keep it under control I have been a bit lazy with it recently so thought I would use this as a bit of a pick me up before I got back into my routine. Now I used it this morning and while I wouldn't say its the best product in the world its not bad, would probably use it again, and it left my skin feeling nice and smooth. The smell alone was probably worth it, smelt just like chocolate mousse, good enough to eat.....although I just about resisted. 

Insert scary photo now......

Yep and here it is, looking like I rubbed chocolate all over my face, lovely.

 I plan to do a separate review on the Umberto Giannini and John Frieda products as they fit quite well together as a nice little hair care post. I've been wanting to try out Umberto Giannini products for a while, had to stop myself from buying everything in the range as I just couldn't justify buying shampoo, conditioner, hairspray etc when I have ones that do me just fine for now.

Hope you enjoyed,

Haul: bit of Wednesday shopping....

So here are the lovely goodies I picked up that I thought I would share with you :)

• Lasting Perfection ultimate wear concealer ( in 2 Light): £4.19- Heard very good things about this and needed a new concealer so thought I would try it out...so far so good!
• QVS Eyelash curlers: £3.49- never really been a user of eyelash curlers but I do have fairly long lashes and not so much of a fan of false lashes so thought I would give these a go to give them a bit of umph! 

• Maybeline falsies mascara: £6.19- definitely my favourite mascara of the moment...lots of volume with minimal clumpiness

.....and here are the results!

• New Look playsuit: £14.99- I love playsuits for the summer, very easy to throw on when its hot and thats your outfit sorted!

• Barry M Nailpaint in Block orange: £2.99- my own take on the 'orange trend' as im not quite brave enough for the orangey lipstick

• Dove summer glow: £3.00- I like to use this on the odd occasion just to take away the pale edge, even though i'm all for embracing the pale

• Superdrug Beauty Card- While in Superdrug I picked up one of the heavily advertised new Beaty Cards. According to the leaflet you earn 1 point for every £1 you spend...although according to my receipt after spending £19 ish pounds i've earned 119 points? Can anyone else of this? Anyway every 100 points are worth £1...anything free is a bargain to me!

• Elle Magazine- Featuring another one of my obsessions at the moment 'Rosie Huntington- Whiteley....gorgeous!

• New Look hair bow: £4.99- When I get fed up of long hair I pile it all up on top of my head by finishing it off with a nice bow I like to think it makes it look like I made a bit of an effort...maybe?

What have you been buying recently? I'd love to have a look :)

Hope you enjoyed
