Palmer's Bust Cream Review

Boobs! There we go... I got your attention!

Yes today we are talking boobies... I'd say 98% of you readers are of the female persuasion so this hopefully won't make you feel uneasy at all!

This was a bit of a random, spontaneous purchase for me. After stumbling across this product from Palmers online and seeing some glowing reviews I thought why not give it a go! So I used my Boots points and ordered it into store. (Made me feel like I got it for free so it wasn't so bad!) 

This cream is to help firm and tone the bust area aswell as reducing the apperance of stretch marks. 
After gaining and then loosing a fair bit of weight (to lol at a fatter me click here.) my boobs have had a rough ride! At one point they were hitting nearly a G size - ridiculous huh? But now I'm back to my normal size 10/12 self they aren't as great as they used to be. (Is this too much info for a blog post..... well if so, sorry - but I've started so I'll finish!) Palmers has made this cream especially for these sorts of problems - pregnancy and extreme wight gain/loss being the main two.

This cream comes out a white colour but rubs in like a soft serum type gel! Rubbed in in circular motions this cocoa butter smells amazing and leaves the skin feeling really soft.
I've been using this for the past few weeks, although I haven't been using it as much as recommended. 
This cream is meant to be applied at least twice a day but I am majorly slack and have been using it once a day... if that! I'm just forgetful/lazy okay and when I'm sleepy at night I just can't be bothered!
Saying this even though I've only used it at half the rate recommended I have still noticed that the few stretch marks I have have slightly faded.
I really believe that with more dedication in using this that it really could cause a dramatic change, each time I've used it the bust area has felt alot firmer and with more application I'm sure it would last.

For £6.95 this is just a fraction of the price of other high end products which promise the same thing! I'll definitely be re-purchasing once I've got through this tube!

March Favourites

Favourites, favourites, favourites - it's another one of those posts! My favourites things I have been LOVING this month - aka March!

Now I know this is mainly a beauty blog but as always they'll be a few extra's thrown in there - like to keep you on your toes don't I!

First up Simple's Shower Gel! I have been having trouble with dry and irritated skin lately and I thought maybe the highly perfumed shower products (aka soap and glory) I had been using may have had something to do with it so I may the choice to try out a more 'simple' shower gel!

This has made a great difference, my skin seems to feel alot better and I'm going to keep on using this for now - especially as it is discounted in Boots at the moment to about £1.30 - time to stock up!

I did a whole post on this perfume nearly 2 months ago now - and I am still LOVING it! It is Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice! This is my go-to perfume every morning at the moment, it is such a great everyday scent! (My full review is here.)

Now who isn't obsessed with Cocoa Butter?! Palmers is a brand I have used and I recently picked up their snazzy lip balm! This stuff has been a total lifesaver the last few weeks for me - with the drastic changes in weather and works air-con/heating my lips have been getting so sore and chapped and this has been seeing my through and helping me avoid that horrific "trip-lip" (as I like to call it)!

Not only does it keep my lips hydrated and smooth whilst prevented chappedness but it also smells yummy and keeps my lip a gorgeous shine! I've already bought another one for when this runs out!

Next up is my Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream. I bought this back at Christmas in the half price sale and up until the beginning of March it had kind of been sitting in the corner! 

But I have told myself I need to moisturise this face alot more - especially at night so this has been my go-to product before I hit the hay at night! It smells lovely and fresh, isn't greasy and keep my skin feeling hydrated and plump - this stuff is yet again another barry bargain!

Ru Paul's Drag Race. 
Holy moly I have been addicted to this show! This past month or so I have watched ALL 5 seasons on Netflix.... yes I wasn't kidding when I said I was addicted! (I need to watch Season 6 asap!) This is like my dream show, like America's Next Top Model but for drag queens - ahhhh my god it's SO good! These guys are hotter girls than I'll ever be - and they are hilarious! 
Fav seasons have to be 4 and 5! I LOVE Sharon Needles, Wilam, Alaska, Detox, Jinyx Monsoon!

The Pretty Reckless - Going To Hell. I have been waiting for this album for MONTHS! You all know that TPR are my fav band so of course I have't been dissapointed! Amazing band, amazing album - I HAVE to go and see them at the IOW Festival!!

So there's another month's favourites for you guys - I feel like it's a bit thin on the ground this month so I apologise for that - being on a spending ban means alot less buying and trying new things (sad face).

Boots Half Price Sale Haul Part 1

Hello again you lovely lot! 
So it has been nearly a WEEK since I last posted and it actually has felt like a lifetime. But in my defence it has been the week of festiveness (aka Christmas) so I have been super busy with family, friends and work (booo hiss booo) !
Now we all know what comes after Christmas (well ... all us beauty addicts know...) - the Boots half price sale! All those gifts, perfume sets and goodies with massive savings which you literally cannot say no too!

Obviously I got a little over excited and bought...LOADS - but this was totes acceptable as I bought alot of it with my advantage card points that I had been saving up! 
Because I have bought alot I thought I would spilt it into 3 different hauls... so here is Numero Uno! (these things were bought both online and in store!)

Taylor By Taylor Swift 30ml Gift Set

WAS £23 NOW £11.50

This was a no-brainer for me! Everyone knows that I love Taylor Swift! She is a total babe and I love her music. Obviously I already own this and it was actually in one of my monthly favourites posts back in the summer but I am just about to run out so this was perfect timing! As well as a bath gel and a body lotion you get the 30ml perfume - a bargain if ever I did see one! (and this may not be the only perfume set I bought.......)

Soap & Glory - Powder Trip 

WAS £20 NOW £10

Now this was something that I had eyed up before the sale but couldn't part we £20 before Christmas and the fact that the powder aren't in separate compacts did put me off a bit! But as it was half price I thought I'd give it a go as they are all products I have looked at individually! This set contains GLOW ALL OUT a Luminizing Face Powder, LOVE AT FIRST BLUSH a shimmer blushing powder and SOLAR POWDER a multi-shade bronzer. I've heard and read such great things about all 3 of these products so can't wait to try them out!

Baylis & Harding beauticology Mini Trio 

WAS £4 NOW £2

I bought this for both my Blogger Secret Santa's this year and was so jealous when I was wrapping them up! This is something I knew I was going to try and get when it went into the sale and I am so glad I managed to grab one online! Such yummy smells - I'm a sucker for yummy smells!

Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Collection

WAS £10 NOW £5

Another bargain that I just couldn't say no too! The body butter alone is around £7 out on the shelves so why would I not want all 3 for just £5? I love cocoa butter - always have done, can't wait to use this trio!

Fearne Kiss & Tell Lip Set

WAS £10 NOW £5

Every year I seem to get some Fearne goodies from Boots. I don't have any lip crayons (shame on me I know) so I'm really looking forward to trying out these! 

Such a great range of shades and a sharpener included! Which is great as I always worry I'm going to ruin things like this with some of the sharpeners I own! For £1 per item... how could I not!

So there we have it - Haul #1 done! Keep your eyes peeled for numbers 2 and 3 which are coming up very soon! I bought such a wide range of different products which I am so happy with - I'm a total bargain hunter and love haring them with you all - have you guys bought anything in the Boots sale?!

(I am really sorry about the quality of my photos aswell at the moment, really struggling with good lightening where I work full-time, hopefully they will improve soon!)

Also a HUGE thank you to all you beautiful people as today I hit 800 followers on Bloglovin! Something I have wanted for so long and I'm nearly at 100,000 blog views aswell, I am so so chuffed and grateful to all of you - you make all this hard work even funner for me!
