Sensitive Teeth Rescue With Sensodyne

So it was the end of last month when I ventured to the dentist to have a dreaded filling. It sucked, I hated it, but I couldn't help but laugh when I left the dentist chair and checked my e-mails.

I mean what were the chances of me having an e-mail from a huge dental brand haha, it did make me giggle!
Sensodyne are one of the countries biggest dental brands and I have been a fan for years.
I've suffered with sensitive teeth on and off since I was a child so being offered to try out one of Sensodyne's Sensitivity SOS packages put a huge smile on my face. (Even if it was wonky from the anesthetic!)

Sensodyne NEW Cool Mint Mouthwash*, Sensodyne Repair & Protect Toothpaste*

The mouthwash is the newest product bought out from Sensodyne and I've completely fallen in love with it.

Alot of the time I am put off of mouthwashes due to the strength, I've used so many that just feel like they are burning my mouth and I can't stand using them for more than a few seconds!

Targeted for sensitive teeth this twice a day mouthwash has a lovely refreshing cool mint flavour which helps keep my mouth feeling funky fresh for hours on end and isn't overly strong in anyway so it is actually bearable for the 60 seconds of swishing!

The Repair & Protect toothpaste next and this is a must have if you suffer with sensitivity!

This toothpaste repairs, strengthens and protects your teeth continuously and the minty fresh taste leaves your total mouth feeling fresh and clean.

I've been using this at least twice a day for the last few weeks and have been loving it and I've noticed a slight change in sensitivity aswell which is a brucie bonus!

Payday Boots Haul

Every payday I like to treat myself, now I'm not talking about a chanel handbag or trip to Paris but I like to get myself a few new little things to try or maybe a new pair of shoes or jeans.
Life is not fun when all your hard earned cash goes on bills is it? We've got to feel like we've got something nice out of working all month long!
Of course, once again my money has been spent in the big bad Boots! A few things on offer caught my eye along with a few newbie products too! But of course before I go and try them out like any normal person I must photo them and show them to you lovely people, who may or may not care.......

I love these face mask sachets. I've lost count at the amount of times they have been featured on here! For only £1 each they are the greatest weekly treat for my skin without breaking the bank, so when I saw NEW ones on the Boots website I squealed with excitement and ordered them straight away! (I order in store, free delivery and you can collect the very next day - perfect!) Along with my ultimate favourite the Hot Spring Sauna exfloiating mask I also ordered 3 of the masks from the new 7th heaven collection. Coffee Mocha Mud, Banana & Honey Masque & Argan Oil Mud.

They all sound amazing right?! I've used the Argan Oil Mud one already and had great results... although the smell wasn't fab!

More skincare now in the form of some Nip + Fab goodies. Being half price online at the moment I thought it would be rude not to invest in anything! I had heard alot about this Dragon's Blood range and after previously trying some of Nip + Fab's other skincare and loving it I decided it was a must.
I thought I'd try the Plumping Serum and the Cleansing Pads, they promise alot so I'm hoping for a fabulous skin overhaul sometime soon!

Yes this was definitely a "that is an amazing offer, I should probably buy it" purchase! I've had the Oral B Pro 600 toothbrush for about 18 months now and I was due to buy some new heads for it. BUT seeing this - the Oral B Pro 2000 toothbrush - down to just £27.99 instead of £70 I thought... stuff the heads I'm upgrading to a better toothbrush instead!
SUCH a good decision, I can really feel the difference with this, it is soooo much better than the 600! Bargain of the week!
I also bought some of the Colgate Max White One toothpaste as it was half price, I've used it before and liked it and I hate forking out for toothpaste so for only £1.99 this was perfect!

Last buy not least, some essentials. I talked about the Nivea Creme Sensitive shower gel in my post yesterday - I love this stuff and it was only £1 so I had to pick up another.

The next item was actually something I grabbed to get my total over a certain amount so I could use a points booster with my advantage card.... yes I'm one of those people! The Maxfactor Masterpiece Max is a mascara I have used for years and years and a total favourite of mine. Seeing as my Rollerlash sample is slowly running out and I can't afford a new one this is going to have to do for now - I'm liking the new packaging aswell for it.

And finally... some highly un-exciting vitamins! Now, I am not a fan of tablets or anything similar, so, like a child I love the good old chewy gummy vitamins! These are super yummy.... and they make me feel like I'm kind of doing my body some good?!

What have you treated yourself too this month?

This Week I'm Loving... #11

Katy Perry Prismatic World Tour

YAY! I got to see Katy again this past week. You might remember I went to the tour back in May 2014 and last week I hoped on a plane to Germany to go and see it again! This was the 5th time I've seen Katy and have to say she was better than ever! I had so so much fun and I'm so sad it's over! Thank you KP!

Neal & Wolf Silk* & Elevate 

These products are my total holy grail at the moment. Elevate makes my hair so soft and sooth and Silk (the newest in my hair routine) is a fabulous blow-drying lotion which I feel like I've used so much over the last few weeks! Having long hair makes me more prone to wash, dry and style when going out, so this is a must! .... I'm considering cutting my hair short - thoughts please?

Make-Up Revolution Kohl & Flick*

This is a product that I had sat in a draw for so long and only discovered recently. I think it's a known fact that I am pants at eyeliner. I always used to stay clear as my eyes are so small and I thought it made them even smaller but I want to be able to do fabulous cat eye flicks so I have started practising with this and it is such a brilliant eyeliner. Plus it's super cheap!

Naked Palette

My palette collection seems to have tripled over the last few months so picking one to sit down and do my make-up with each time I want a snazzy smokey eye is becoming a slight challenge. Recently I picked up my ultimate fav... the original Naed palette from Urban Decay and fell back in love. I found a fab tutorial on youtube to use and really loved the outcome. 

Sensodyne True White

New toothpaste alert! I spotted this in my local Boots and had to pick it up.... even those it has a painful price tag of £7.99! I love sensodyne toothpastes, I suffer from sensitive teeth so anything that helps that plus whitens my teeth is a winner for me. So far I've really enjoyed using it.

New Look Mom Jeans

I have finally ventured out of the world of skinny jeans... I know it's a miracle! I'd actually been eyeing these up on New Look's website for a few months so when they went into the sale I nabbed them straight away... for only £10! I wore them to Germany last week and they are so comfortable... although I got a size 12 and they are a little baggy I am so pleased with them and think they are going to get alot of wear during the upcoming Spring months!

Love, Rosie

I watched this on a whim yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised by how much I fell in love with it. Lily Collins is a favourite of mine and her English accent was awesome - so impressed! The story made me laugh out loud and want to sit and cry, such great chemistry with all the cast and a great story... I actually think I'm going to buy it on DVD!

MAC Cinderella Royal Ball Lipstick

Why hello lipstick that I've waiting for for what seems like months on end! The Cinderella collection was finally available online last week and I had all of 60 seconds to grab something as it was at the end of my work break when it went live. It was safe to say that I panic bought and only managed to get a lipstick.... which sucked! (But at last I got something eh!) This is a gorgeous nude and I am obsessed with the packaging - super pretty!

Stay White On The Isle Of Wight

Now I've mentioned festivals a good few times since starting this blog back in May 2013. Where I live they are a big deal and the highlight of most of me and my friends years really! 

When you think of Festival's you may think of stinky loos, lots of mud and unwashed people left, right and centre - but this isn't always the case! In fact I love Festivals as an excuse to glam myself up with lots of hair, make-up and cute outfits - especially Bestival (My favourite.)
 In many articles Bestival has said to be the 'best looking' festival and with it's amazing fancy dress themes each year people are known for putting in weeks and weeks of effort to look amazing all weekend round.
There are so many tips and tricks as to how to survive a festival and how to in insure you look Festival fabulous 24/7 and the genius people at Listerine have come up with their top 5 bits of advice to help you along the way!

Top 5 tips for feeling fabulous at Bestival & Look after your pearly whites!

Keeping It White!

With all those photos being taken, it is time to perfect that smile. Listerine Stay White keeps teeth whiter*. Used twice a day, it is proven to not only kill 97% of germs left behind after brushing (festival food anyone?) but helps keep your breath fresh for meeting all your new festival 'friends'! Listerine Stay White works as hard as you, and provides up to 24 hours of fresh breath protection** - great for those late nights!

 *Reduces tartar to prevent stains **When used twice daily



 Style it up!
 There's nothing worse than lifeless, limp hair and there is only so much a good dry shampoo can fix! Instead, try styling your hair into a fishtail plait, channelling your inner boho. It'll give you a relaxed but tidy look and pulling your hair off your face means you can go all out with the face jewels.
 

 Sparkle the night away...
 When in Rome, do as the Romans do! In this case, grab a few colourful pots of glitter and shower yourself in it. Accessorising with glitter will leave you looking and feeling in the festival spirit. Handy tip? Use a small amount of glitter to cover any little skin breakouts. Genius, right?
 

 Go bold or go home!
 For one weekend, leave behind your day-to-day make-up and embrace bold colours and textures. Make sure to pack a bold lippy in a colour you wouldn't usually dare to wear (I know you've seen the purple lip trend!). And for the eyes? Break out the metallic blues and shimmery silvers. For a real statement, apply one thick colour under the lower lash line and smudge it a little for the ultimate smoky eye.
 

 Mirror, mirror on the wall
 A good mirror is an essential to pop in your bag as you never know the state of the facilities at the festival! Completing your festival-chic hair and beauty regime without a mirror is just not an option so look for a decent sized mirror that includes a little stand so you can prop it up in your tent.

To help me survive this years Bestival Listerine have been nice enough to send me an awesome must-have festival kit.

Full of helpful and handy items plus some snazzy little extras this kit is set to make sure my weekend is top notch and I'm feeling funky fresh from Thursday afternoon to Monday morning!

First up and most importantly Listerine's Stay White mouthwash. I swear by mouthwash at a Festival, there isn't always a clean source of water near you when you need it so mouthwash is the perfect way to freshen up your breathe and keep your mouth clean with needing a toothbrush!

The Stay White mouthwash reduces more plaque than just brushing and helps to keep teeth whiter which is fab if your drinking lots of coloured drinks (aka coke/coffee) over the weekend!

Saying this though of course you'll have time to brush your teeth (just not as often!) so they've also sent me the ultra white reach brush! I always buy a new toothbrush to take with me when camping at a Festival as 9 times out of 10 they don't make it home with me! This is great for a weekend of eating crap foods and drinking a tad more than usual!

A mirror is essential for the weekend - sat in a tent isn't the greatest place to try and get yourself ready for the day/night and if you've decided to go a bit OTT to get in the festival mood you are going to be able to do that in the reflection of your can of cider are you?

I love this Star Gazer nail polish, white nails are bang on trend at the moment and this has a bit glitter which is always a YES at the Festi!

Sensible product now - Compeed blister plasters! Festivals involve alot of walking and Robin Hill where the Bestival is based is full of hills and I mean seriously steep hills so these will definitley come in handy!

Bumbag's again perfect, easy peasy to keep everything handy and in a reachable place (perfect for when you need the loo too!) and sunglasses are a must, even if it's not sunny you may want to hide your face at some points (6am loo run!)

Lastly in my cute little must-have box is a disposable camera! The best way old school to capture memories - I love that the photos are a surprise when you get them developed, I can't wait to take this with me!

So that's me sorted and ready and raring to go! I cannot wait for this weekend, keep your eyes peeled on my twitter and instagram for Bestival updates from 4th-7th Sept!

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?
