A few purchases from superdrug :)

Hi Ladies,

I picked up a couple of things from superdrug I thought I would show you, I went in for a bottle of water but as ever managed to pick up a few ''essentials'' while I was there - doh!

I absolutely love batiste (for the record the blonde and diva versions are my faves!) so I had to try their new XXL volume dry shampoo. I have only used this once so far and I have to say I didn't like it as much as the other versions of batiste I have used, it left my hair feeling quite stiff and heavy. Nevertheless I am not giving up on this just yet, and will let you know how I get on with it :)

If you have been following my blog for a while you will know that I love the sheer blonde gleam creme, I have used this product since I was about 15 and I always have a tube of it in my handbag and another on my dressing table. I distribute a pea sized amount through the ends of my hair if they are feeling dry and a little throughout my hair to tame any flyaway's. This is one of my all time favourite products.

Any finally...very exciting face wipes! The garnier fresh essentials are my favourites, and I love the other products from the fresh range too - especially the moisturiser which is a bargain!

and thats everything, have a great week and speak soon!

Superdrug Essentials :)

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to blog about a couple of extremely affordable products which never leave my beauty collection. They are two items from superdrugs own essential range - the cucumber fragrance face wipes and normal hold styling mousse.



The cucumber fragrance face wipes are lovely and refreshing, although I dont use them on a daily basis I find them really hand for those times when it is a real effort to take your make up off and you just want to get into bed, or when you just want to freshen up! I also sometimes use them to take the bulk of my makeup off before I use my makeup remover and cleanser as it helps to make them last longer! These are such a bargain too at only 99p.

I have spoken before about how I find cheaper hair mousse much more effective on my hair than the more expensive brands when I want to use it to add a little volume at the root or to help scrunch my hair up into beachy waves. The superdrug essentials mousse works really well with my hair texture, it is not heavy or sticky and has just the right amount of hold, I always have this on my beauty shelf!

Have you ever used any of superdrugs essentials range? I am also incredibly exciting for superdrugs new beautycard which launches in less than a week!

Hope you've had a fantastic week,

Because, well - Who doesn't love travel size!

Hi Ladies,

So as you know from my last post, I've just come back from my holiday in New York, and I thought I would share with you the cute little travel size products I took with me! I normally steer clear of travel size products, and in the run up to my holidays will put aside shampoo's and conditioners etc when they get about half empty (I will never understand why travel size products are often twice the price of their full size counterparts?!) But for some reason, when picking up some last minute bits and bobs a few days before my flight, I found myself lured in by the cuteness of these teenie weenie bottles and before I knew it, I was in the queue for the tills with a collection of them in my basket - Oops!


I love soap and glorys clean on me shower gel, its smells amazing, is really creamy, luxurious and suprisingly quite moisturising. I have used this in full size before as its been bought for me a couple of times in christmas/birthday gift sets but I'm reluctant to buy it as my daily shower gel as it costs around £5.00 which for me is a little pricey! I'm definitely going to watching out for any offers on soap and glory in boots though :)

Although I have used some aussie products before I had never tried the miracle moist shampoo and conditioner, so this was the perfect opportunity to give them both a try. The miracle moist range is formulated for dry damaged hair and contains queensland macadamia nut which is supposed to help condition and smooth the hair. Like other aussie products these both smell divine, sometimes I find hair products which focus on adding moisture to your hair can leave it feeling really lank and heavy but with these it was completely the opposite - bouncy, light and fresh!

and finally, that product which I just can't stop talking about - Superdrugs dry shampoo, this time in the scent head in the clouds. Again, I really love the smell of this product and I really like the fact that is sprays completely clear. However I would still reach for my trusty batiste diva when my hair needed a serious refresh as I do not find the superdrug version to be as good at absorbing the oil from my hair (something which I noticed more with this travel size version). I still have some of the full size version of this product left and I think I will definitely repurchase it - it is great for a light refresh, or adding a bit of extra volume but I'll keep a bottle of batiste on standby for those very bad hair days!

I still have quite a bit left in all of these, and I have one more mini holiday left this summer - to the most spectacularly magical place in the whole of Europe - can you guess where!? So they will be jetting off with me one last time. However I'm not sure if I'll be splashing out on travel size products next year - we'll see!

Do you buy travel size products before you go on holiday?

July Favourites :)

Hi Ladies,

So we are a little way into August now - but better late than never here are my July Favourites! :-)

1. Superdrug tea tree and peppermint shampoo and conditioner - I use these once or twice a week inbetween using my normal shampoo and conditioner (currently tigi catwalk fashionista!). They are formulated for normal hair, and leave my hair feeling deep cleaned and refreshed - lovely! :)

2. Collection 2000 hot looks in BMX bandit and Models Own in feeling blue - I have really enjoyed wearing both of these colours on my toes, and they look fab with flip flops! BMX bandit is a darker more purply blue, and feeling blue is a lighter more vibrant blue. I was lucky enough to win feeling blue in a giveaway held by the super lovely Paula :)

3.Superdrug dry shampoo in away with the fairys - I know, I know! I've already raved about this (see my last post!) But I have been loving it so much that it had to make its way into my favourites. Smells lovely, not at all chalky and leaves my hair feeling fab.

4. Almay bare it all legs - This is very similar to Sally Hansens airbrush legs, which I have used before but thought I would give this a try as it was a little cheaper (£1.00 in the pound shop to be exact!). Its really easy to use, you just spray it onto your legs evenly, blend in then leave a minute or so to dry. I often use this when I'm in a hurry, or if I want to fake tan but have time - It gives a lovely natural colour and leaves my legs looking flawless :)

5. MAC Stereo Rose MSF - I am so glad I picked this up, I think I have used it pretty much every day since I bought it and am already becoming obsessed about running out! When applied with a light hand, It gives a lovely natural coral glow to the cheeks - so lovely for summer.

6. L'oreal volume million lashes mascara - For me, L'oreal make some of the best mascara's and the volume million lashes is no exception. This has a chunky plastic brush which is easy to use and gives great volumised lashes. I found this mascara a little wet to begin with and it worked much better after a week or so when it had dried out a little. I love the gold packaging too, definitely a new favourite!

7. MAC studio finish concealer - I still find this concealer a little dry, but in the summer heat its staying power is excellent. You only need a tiny amount to give really great coverage. It is also water resistant and contains spf 35 which made it one of my favourite products on my recent summer holiday :)

8. MAC paintpot in Indianwood - I have really been enjoying going for a bronze and gold smokey eye look this summer, especially on evenings and this paintpot provides the perfect base for this. It is a lovely rich bronze and not only keeps my eyeshadow in place all night but also looks fab on its own :)

and thats everything! Have you used any of these before? and let me know any of your favourites from the past month!

Bargain Of The Week - Superdrug Dry Shampoo :)

Hi Ladies,

I was picking up a couple of bits and pieces in superdrug the other day when I spotted superdrugs own brand of dry shampoo down the haircare aisle. I'm not sure if this is new or not, but I had never seen it before, and for £1.50 I thought it was definitely worth a try and popped it in my basket!
There were two different scents available, I went for the one called ''away with the fairys'' (sorry I can't remember the name of the other one!) and the scent is absolutely lovely, it smells much more like a body spray than other dry shampoos - very light, girly and understated which I really like about it, as some dry shampoos I think you can smell a mile off! The other thing I like about it is that it is much less chalky than other dry shampoo's, and doesn't leave my hair feeling powdery at all. Infact on spraying it onto my hair it is barely noticable - excellent!

I am so impressed with this product, and for only £1.50 it is definitely deserving of bargain of the week! I am going to pick up the other scent next time I'm in superdrug so I'll let you know how that one compares!

Have you tried this before?

Superdrug Haul! :-)

Hi girls!

I popped into superdrug today after uni (mainly to get some more dry shampoo and see if the sleek graphite palette was in yet - it was!) and ended up picking up quite a few things so I thought I would share them with you all, expect proper reviews of everything once I've had a chance to try them out! :-D

So, first up I got collection 2000's new mascara - the collagen curl mascara. It has a really big bristly brush which I always love, and its curved (similar to benefits get bent) so first impressions look really promising and can't wait to try this out! (I also love the cute purple and yellow packaging!)

Next up.....*drum roll please!* The sleek graphite palette! I am so excited about trying this out, the colours are fabulous for smokey eyes!

Then (whilst looking for my dry shampoo - which I forgot to buy!) I spotted Nova hair styling mousse, I brand I've never seen/heard of before. I've mentioned before how I like to use hair mousse to add extra volume to my hair once I've straighted it so for 97p I decided to give this one a try!

And finally I picked up this cute little makeup bag! It had £1.00 off so it was a bargain at only £1.49! I tend to just throw makeup into my bag before uni on a morning then scramble around in it for things during the day and wonder why I can't find things! So this is perfect for keeping my makeup all neat, tidy and together!

and that all for now! Hope you're all having a great week!

Product Rave : Superdrug eye make-up remover, camomile

Hi girlies! Earlier this week I was queueing up in superdrug (buying my 3rd collection 2000 hot looks nail varnish - I love them!) when I noticed a massive display of new products at the side of the tills. They were superdrugs own brand of cleanser, toner and eye makeup remover all for only £1.00! I decided to get the eye make-up remover, as I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing over getting the much raved about botanics eye make-up remover for while. Here is it pictured below:

As it only cost a quid, I wasn't really expecting much from this product - However it has completely surpasses my expectations! It contains camomile, which I already love (camomile tea anyone?) Is gentle on my eyes, refreshing and is really effective at removing almost all of the lashings of mascara I pile on every day. I am super super impressed!

Has anyone else seen these new products at their local superdrug?
