Boots Haul

After payday arrived last week it was finally time for me to pick up a few bits and bobs in the blogger paradise that is Boots. 
I had a few things I needed to get and and others were spur of the moment - although I am being good and I did think through each purchase before heading to the checkout, well done Kirstie!
 Simple are a brand I have used on and off for years and years! They were my go-to brand as a teenager and I know I'm always safe with them! 
Recently my skin has been a bit dry and sensitive - damn air con/heating/cold weather - so having a perfume feel shower gel that made for sensitive skin is a must ..... even though I find £2.10 a bit steep for the size... I'm such a cheap skate sometimes!
After running out of my Liz Earle Skin Tonic and turning into a bit of a penny-pincher I decided to settle for Simple's Facial Toner. I've used this countless times before and know it will keep my skin clean and clear.
February is birthday and valentines season .... so my favourite eyelashes were a definite must! These are the Eylure 101's - I used to wear the 107's all the time but they have changed the design slightly on them which makes them way too big for my little eyes ... which sucks! This is the triple pack.... as you can see I had to already swiped out a pair to rock on Saturday night! At less than £14 these work out better than buying pairs separately!
Elegant Touch Express Nails are something that I've used a few times before and have always been so impressed with! These were down to just £2.20 on clearance, amazing right? So I just had to pick up a pair to have on stand-by!
Now it's time to talk about the make-up!
 I needed a replacement for my everyday foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix in 52 Vanilla as mine was running seriously low. When I picked it up I noticed the deal on Bourjois was "Spend £12 and get a free lip product" - after eyeing up the Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Nude-ist for weeks now and knowing it was worth £9 I knew this was a deal I couldn't miss out on ! So I grabbed the Poudre De Riz De Java powder (which was on the only one there, s it was totes meant to be!) as I have been so intrigued about it for months and have heard great things, chucked it in my basket and got super excited about the great deal I was getting - less than £20 for these 3!

So there we have it - those are the few bits I've picked up this past week!

  1. I've been considering some stick on nails myself recently. I have pretty good nails myself and love a good gel manicure but not the after effects so I'm wondering if some press ons might be good for a night out (not that i have many of them!)

  13. The Nude-Ist Rouge edition lipsticks are fantastic, and I love this colour. I keep looking at the Rice powder from Bourjois but I am really trying to keep my spending down, hopefully might be able to treat myself to this sometime soon.
