Haul

Hey Girlies,

So i popped into town yesterday to pick a few wee things that i needed, nothing major just bits and bobs.  So here's a wee swatch at what i got :)



I Always go through so many hankies, specially when i have the cold so i don't bother with buying really expensive ones, so i always just pick up a wee box every time that i am in poundland. So this was the me2u range and you get 60 3 ply tissues for £1 and the box is cute. 


This is something i always need, and i think personally plasters are quite expensive to buy and you only get like 20, so i found this in poundland.  I think this is a much better thing to use as you can cut it to your own and use as much as you need, and i use so many plasters for loads of things so this works for me and lasts me quite a while and for only £1 it's a bargain really.


I needed some new candles for when i'm just chilling or in the bath and these one are easier because they in a little jar and they hold the flame longer and don't blow out as easy.  This one is spring blossom scented and it smells really lovely and summery and it was reduced to 75p, you can pick them up in Primark.


I picked this candle up too while i was there as these were the only two scents available.  This one is Sweet Vanilla and smells just lovely.  Again it was only 75p you can pick them up for Primark.


Nail polish remover is something i always need, so i always keep it stocked up incase i run out of the pads that i usually use.  I have been using this nail polish remover for absolute years and wouldn't go past it, i now usually use the pads version but i like to have a bottle spare incase i run out.  It's only available in Bodycare for 69p. Bargain as it lasts ages!.


This is a leave in conditioner from Boot's own range and is sweet almond and cocount and smells lovely.  I've run out of my Aussie one and this is just an alternative until the Aussie comes on deals again.  It was £1.39 for this one.


These were a total random buy.  As i found them on the clearance rack in Boots, and to be honest i haven't even heard of the range so i was intrigued.  They are rich body lotions and they smell just lovely, so i got them since winter is coming in and i sometimes find my skin dries out easily so these will come in handy for that.  These ones are Cranberry and Avacado scented and they smell lovely there is also a yellow version but i didn't like the smell haha.  These retail at £4.99 a bottle (250ml) but i picked them up for £1.24 Bargain :)






That was my little haul this time, good few wee bargains and i got everything for under £10.

Herbal Essences - Beautiful ends

Hey lovelies!!

Haircare is a world all of its own so i often find myself picking new wee things up every now and again.
this was one of these random such buys, but i always end up just sticking with Aussie because i've used it for so long but its starting to do nothing for me.
as the aussie philosophy goes "there is more to life than hair, but it's a good place to start" indeed it is so here is my latest buy.

So as you know i bought this a while ago now about 3 months or so and have been using it so thought it was time to see how it went.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends which is a split end protective mask

so this is what it looks like -





I can't get hold of it in Boots, but maybe bigger boots stores will sell it, i know bodycare do sell it too.
the tub is a good size and does last ages as well.
it retials at £3.99 but i managed to pick it up for jus £1 on the wilkinsons sale rack haha.

it looks like this inside:


it's a nice pink colour and although it looks really runny it's actually not at all it's really manageable.

I got the red tub which is for dry/damaged hair, i do not have either of these so hence why did i buy it?
well sometimes i feel my hair just tangles as soon as i wash it and ive tried detanglers etc but they don't work, so i put it down to just having long hair.
But at a quid i thought i'll give this a try see if it does anything or even helps with my split ends.  Now split ends are enevitable i mean every girl gets them no matter how good a condition your hair is in, i love my hair but i don't get it cut as regurarly as i probably should because hairdressers are expensive and i don't have a steady income so i try my best to look after my hair in other ways, i only straighten my hair once a week if that sometimes i jusy rock the natural curl / wave and leave it be.

I started using this herbael essences mask about 3 months or so ago and i use it once a week.
to be honest it hasn't done much at all for my split ends but they were never that bad in the first place, but it has made my hair more shiny and definitly helps with the tangle issues!! 
the smell itself is devine, it smells good enough to eat and the facts its pink instead of plain ol white is always nice!

plus it has lasted me for agessssssss!
I'll look into the other tubs for normal hair and see what they offer up if not i'll need to try find another good de-tangler as i've always used Aussie but lately it's doing nothing for me, except the smell is no nice i just keep with it but i am going to need to change it up!

but if yu have split ends maybes give this a try!! :)
