I have been a bit absent of late (literally and absent minded!!) but my mind has been else where. I gave birth to my first baby at the end of August. Little Freya has rocketed into the world and turned our lives upside down in an amazing way!!
Anyway since being on maternity leave I have turned into a blog whore and am checking my favourites several times a day and finding new ones too. Also internet shopping has become my downfall and Boots has become my best friend (or worst enemy depending on what way you look at it, i think my husband may ban me from going in there!).
This is a haul that I would like to say has been since August but unfortunately its been in the last week or 2. I have broke it down as there is a few hair care bits, some make up bits and some skin care bits.
The first purchase is a 100ml bottle of Moroccanoil, which I purchased off Amazon for like £29. Now I have put off buying this for so long as I really wanted to try it first and wanted to know if it honestly worked. I went to the hairdressers and she used it and my hair felt AMAZING! It was so soft and shiney for like a week and I think the ends of my hair feel alot healthier. I have used it since and the results continue. Very impressed so far.
The next is of a similar nature, the Carino Miracle oil is £3.99 from Aldi. I have been waiting for this to come back in stock for months. It looks very similar to Moroccanoil in regards to packaging. I am unsure yet as I haven't tried both enough where the differences lie but this little bottle came in really handy when I had to travel away for a weekend, so a good purchase none the less (I actually brought 2!)
The Dove hair mask is something I picked up on a whim, needed a hair mask and didn't want to get an expensive one from the hairdressers so will have go with this one and see how it goes!
Skin care wise I haven't tried any of these yet (unless you count standing in boots for over and hour playing with testers like a crazy person) but I have heard good things about Soap and Glory, so maybe when I have tried them out I can review further.
The No7 moisturiser was a recommendation from a friends as was the Loreal youth code moisturiser. I need to have a good stock in the winter as the season hates my skin and I sometimes find myself needing to put moisturiser on up to 3 times a day. Plus I need a replacement for my beloved Origins moisturiser as it is discontinued!
Body wise the Clinique deep comfort body moisturiser is actually a repurchase, kind of. I had a sample tube in a gift set I got and loved it and when I was in a designer outlet recently this was on offer in their cosmetic shop so I snatched it up as the sample tube has run out!
The L'occitane hand cream again a repurchase, I have just used up the last of the rose tube which was a gift from work, I loved the cream just not the rose smell so went for a different scent. Just after I had purchased this it was released as a free gift with this months Marie Clare so I grabbed another one!
The Korres lip butter I got in jasmine, haven't used it yet (haven't even got it out the box, oopppss!) but I have a feeling I will love it!
The Rimmel scandal eyes waterproof eyeliners have been hyped up in the blog world lately so naturally I had to try, I normal stick to Urban Decay eyeliners as they have amazing staying power and the formula of these Rimmel liners. I picked up the shades nude and taupe, I think they were £3.99 and were on 3 for 2 at boots (my friend got the black one and says it is the best liner ever!!!)
I would like to say this was the end of the spending..............................................................
sadly not.
