Mini Boots Haul

Time for a little haul ladies! These are a few little bits I've picked up from Boots in the last week or so....
Some of these bits are daily essentials and others are just a little treat that I snapped up because they were on offer!
I'm still on a slight spending ban due to my holiday so I can't quite splash out like I used too on beauty products but still... a girl has to buy some things right?
First up are these bits from the Boots Essentials range. If you've been reading my blog for a while you would have seen a few products from this range mentioned before (3 minute mask & the eye gel). 
Because of the success I had with those when I saw these on offer 3 for £3 I thought I why not pick up some more of these cucumber beauties to try out!
I've gone for the scrub, facial toner (because I've run out of my Liz Earle Skin Tonic) and the face wipes... which actually I just find handy for using when I'm taking blog photos of products, getting lipstick swatches off etc!
Next we have some everyday essentials. The No7 hot cloth cleaser was in my most recent favourites post. I love it so much I had to invest in another bottle and seeing as I have a £5 off No7 voucher it seemed like the perfect time.
I've been loving using sensitive shower gel's recently, they seem to have really helped my skin and dry patches.... and they are alot cheaper than buying Soap & Glory every month! 99p for this Nivea one.... I love love love everything Nivea!
 Lastly the new Aquafresh HD toothpaste - I try out new toothpastes monthly and have been wanting to give this new one a go for a few months now and it was on offer so... hello and welcome to my home toothpaste!
NOT pictured - Fab pink comb.... mine seem to have all gone missing so had to grab a new one - and what better than bright pink! Love using these to backcomb at the roots and give my hair a bit of oomph!
Summer is here and so is the new Barry M collections!
 I had been looking at this Matte shade for days umming and arring whether to buy it and I finally caved in and popped it in my basket! This is Waikiki and it is a Matte lime green, perfect for summer and perfect to wear with a hot tan! Can't wait to try it out!
Lastly it's an aray of Montagne Jeunesse face masks! Over the last couple of months I've been going sachet to sachet of this brand trying out everything I can and when I saw these were just £3 for 4 I had to pick up some newbies!
I went for .... Hot Spring Sauna, Nut Oil Masque, Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque & Hot Chocolate. I'm going to try one of these once a week ..... and I'm sure I'll be letting you all know how I get on!

What have you all picked up in Boots recently?

May Favourites

My monthly favourite's are here again! It's my second May favourites - can you believe it? It feels like yesterday I was writing all about my loves for May 2013 and here we are 1 year later and I'm sat here doing exactly the same thing!
So here they are - those things I've been obsessing over for the past month! (no make-up this month... which feels seriously weird!)
Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Collection
If you have't heard of the new ultimate blends range from Garnier - then you've probably been chilling on the moon or something because I'm sure everyone more or less everyone have been trying them out!
I picked up the shampoo and conditioner for 2 reasons - 1. they were half price and 2. they smell amazing! 
I am all about smells and if I think something smells good - I will buy it. 
These products were working so well on my hair that I picked up the 1 minute treatment aswell! They leave my hair looking smoother and smelling amazing - plus they were a bargain! I've gone through a bottle of each now so it's time to invest in some more - I may try out some of the different collections too!
Monthly Mags - Cosmo, Company, Elle & Glamour
Yes... I may have gone a little overboard with mags this month - 4 is definitely a bit unnecessary .... but there were so many great freebies I couldn't say no! 
I love being able to sit down at home or at work and flick through a good mag and these this month have been amazing!
 Not only did I get some great free gifts including Benefit's porefessional, but there were lots of a great articles, lots of looks I want to steal and lots of clothes I need to buy!

No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser
After running out of my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish (one of my holy grail products) this month and being a bit strapped for cash I decided to give this baby a go.
 I've had this sat around for a while - I bought it with a No7 voucher a couple of months ago because it bought it down to half the usual price (barry bargain) - and thought now was a good a time as ever to give it a whirl!
I wasn't expecting it to be as good as my beloved cleanse and polish but this stuff gave me a pleasant surprise! It took off my make-up just as well as my C&P, felt light and creamy and have a nice smell about it. The only thing that wasn't great was the muslin cloth along side it - it wasn't as soft and gentle as the nice Liz Earle ones but still worked a charm!
I have been using this every night now and still have so much of the 200ml product left - it is definitely going to last a good while!
Nivea Soft 75ml Tube
This product has been a god send to me. I use it daily and have rambled on about it for the past year! I normally buy a big tub of this stuff but that isn't always that handy ..... so hello to this cute little 75ml tube! This is perfect for my handbag and keeping next to my bedside table!
I use this every night before I go to sleep and it works so well for my skin! I've tried so many night creams recently and they all seem to bring me out in spots (which is not like my skin at all) I love the scent and can't imagine anything taking this stuff's place anytime soon! Superdrug have these at half price at the moment too so they are only £1.24!!
Iggy Azalea - The New Classic Album
Jesus, I had been waiting for this album for what seemed like forever!
 About a year ago I first heard Iggy's song 'Work' - and since then I have been praising and bowing down to this woman! This album has been on repeat this whole month and I love love love it! Favourite songs have to be Work, Black Widow, F*** Love & Fancy.
AND obviously I am obsessed with Problem by Ariana Grande & Iggy - two of my favourite artists ever - best song of the year!
