Yay my Lush Boxing Day order arrived..

After the craziness of Christmas Day there is no chance on this Earth of me getting up early to go shopping no matter how good the sales are. I prefer to spend my Boxing Day chilling out at home, well as much as I can with my house looking like a toy shop threw up in it.. 

Anyway I curl myself up with a brew on the sofa, a box of Quality Street at my side and browsed the sales online and I'm made up with the few bargains I purchased from Lush were I picked up a few sale goodies as well as some full priced products I've had my eye on for awhile. They arrived earlier this week and I love them, here's what I treated myself to.. 

The Christmas Hedgehog (reduced to £1.35)

How cute is this floral scented little guy? I just love him. He's made from Shea & Cocoa Butters and Lavender, Rose & Ylang Ylang Oil.

I went on a little shopping trip this morning..

Evening lovelies, hope you've all had a fab day, mine started awful as it was pouring down (I got soaked), which is just typical for the first school run of 2015. As the weather was crappy Mr H decided to cheer us both up with breakfast out followed by a nosy round the shops. 

The first place I nipped into was Boots where I picked up a few bargains in the toys section before moving into the baby section where I picked up a half price baby massage gift set for my step-sister who's due to have her first baby soon, I'm super excited to meet the newest baby in our family. I also had a quick nosy round the reduced Christmas section and couldn't resist buying myself a treat. I use to love dying my hair back in collage and for the past year or so I've really fancied shaking up my style a bit but I thought I was a little too old for it to be honest but after chatting to my friend (of the brightly coloured hair, pink being the last shade) she pointed out that 31 wasn't old and that I should just do it at worst I hate it and it washes out. So as soon as I saw this Spin The Bleach Bottle set reduced from £12 to £6 I knew I wanted it, I just need to find the confidence to actually use the stuff now. 

Just a few Sanctuary Spa bargains

Morning my lovelies if your anything like me you'll love a good wander round hunting out some great beauty bargains and today's bargain post is a killer especially if your a Sanctuary Spa Fan or just trying to be super organised present shopping for Christmas. 

I've mentioned before that my local Original Factory Shop just underwent a complete refit and have been expanding their beauty product section ever since and while nosing around I was super excited to find that they now stock the Sanctuary Spa brand. And not just 1 or 2 items but a whole section of shelving, and as they were more than half the RRP price as well.

Resurface & Refine Ultra Polish (RRP £12.00) - I've tried a few sample sizes of this product and loved them, it is great for getting rid of the micro-bumps on the back of my arms, so I didn't even think twice when I grabbed a full-sized tube of this as soon as I saw it and at just £3 it was amazing valve for money.

The 'I Went A Little Crazy Online' Boots Haul

Have you ever had that horrible moment when you've picked up your favourite perfume and found it empty. Well I had that feeling the other week and so I started hunting around online to find another bottle at the cheapest price possible. That hunt led me pretty quickly to Boots were I found it half price and that they had an offer of double advantage card points when you spent over £25 on selected beauty products, I couldn't resist a look and from then on my innocence purchase of a replace bottle turned into a full on beauty haul.

My goodies arrived just over 2 weeks ago and I've spent that time trying out a few of my new goodies, keep an eye out for reviews, but in the meantime here's what I ordered...

Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask 15ml (RRP £3.00) - this charcoal and kaolin clay self-heating mask draws out impurities while essential oil of myrrh helps calm and soothe skin.

Sanctuary Spa Moisture Boosting Mask 15ml (RRP £2.50) - a moisture boosting face mask with shea butter and honey to nourish skin, lavender essential oil to help you relax and organic rose hip seed oil to protect skin against ageing. 

Lancôme Haul from feelunique.com

Morning my lovelies hope your all having a good start to the weekend.

Today I want to share with you one of the prettiest powder bronzers I think I've ever seen. From the second I saw the Lancôme Limited Edition Golden Riviera Star Bronzer I knew I just had to have it eventhough at £35.00 it's not exactly a cheap bronzer to buy. So I spent a few hours searching the internet for the best deal and stumbled onto feelunique.com where they were running an offer of a free Lancôme Renergie Gift Set if you spent over £50 on Lancôme products so needless to say I ended up with receiving bundle of Lancôme goodies. 

But before we get into that let's talk pretty bronzer...

Original Factory Shop Mini-Hauls

My local Original Factory Shop has always been great for finding bargain beauty and home products if not alittle too crammed in but recently it's had a total makeover. So last week when I had an hour to spare waiting for Mr H was finishing up in the gym, I decided to take a nosey round and was pretty impress with how organised the beauty sections were and also how many new, more expensive brands were on the shelves. I literally couldn't decided what to pick but managed to settle on just four little treats

I picked up two Sally Hansen Sugar Coats (£1.50 each), Royal Icing which is a lovely baby blue, and Pink Sprinkle a strong pink. A Ciate Corrupted Neon Set in Club Topicana for £5.00 which is an amazing neon orange polish and glitter set. And a bottle of Touch of Silver Daily Maintenance Shampoo for £2 which I'm hoping works wonders on my blonde ends.

My Easter Weekend Beauty Haul - Superdrug

Over the Easter weekend I had an overpowering urge to treat myself to some new beauty goodies and as the idea of dragging the girls out to the shops left me cold, I decided to check out what boots and superdrug had available online. Sadly nothing from boots caught my eye, superdrug however had plenty. 

Mini Beauty Haul at B&M Bargains

Morning my lovelies hope your all enjoying a nice relaxing weekend, I popped into my mums local B&M yesterday (which is doubly the size of my local one) for a wander round and managed to pick up a few little beauty bargains. 

Beautybay.com Beauty Haul #6

Another one of my distraction orders last weekend arrived this morning, I went on BeautyBay.com with the original idea to purchase a new OPI nail envy in the hopes it'll help my poor nails recover from the damage being ill for the past month or so has caused them but also ended up stocking up on more of my favourite OPI hand cream and a beautiful polish for Spring.  

Superdrug Beauty Haul #5

Trying to distract myself from my essay at the weekend lead me to take a nosy online and as usual I found myself on the superdrug website and within minutes I had a basket full ready to checkout. I got some items I've been wanting for a while and as always I ordered at least one impulse item.

Monday Beauty Haul #4

A massive sigh of relief was all that could be heard through our house this morning when I finally submitted my psychology essay for marking, thank god my tutor is understanding and allowed me a weeks extension or it would never have been finished. 

Now its time for me to change my focus and crack on with my social science essay which is due a week on Monday, wish me luck lovelies. Thankfully it's just a mini essay at just 750 words, my plan is done just need to figure out how to start the thing now. But for what's left of my day I'm going to relax and enjoy the noise of my girls wreaking the house lol, don't you just love half term. 

While proof reading my psych essay at the weekend I got alittle distracted by boots online and ordered a few beauty treats I've been wanting to try out and as it was 3for2 I couldn't think of a better time for it. So when I received my email to say my parcel was ready to collect from my high street Boots, Mr H offered to go and pick it up for me (he'll do anythink to escape the chaos lol).

Mid-week Beauty Haul #3

After spending the last few weeks ill and with an essay due in just over a week I've been feeling alittle down and stressed out so Mr H decided to take me out for breakfast and alittle shopping trip today to cheer me up and calm me down. So after a naughty but very yummy breakfast of pancakes, bacon and maple syrup at Frankie & Bennys off we went to our nearest TK Maxx, one my favourite stores to just wander round and take a good old nosy at all the reduced beauty and household goodies.

Fragrance Direct Beauty Haul #2

Someone on Facebook recommended Fragrance Direct as the go to place for discounted makeup and nail polish so I decided to have a nosy, not really looking for anythink but I'm pretty pleased with the bargains I picked up, even if my bank balance isn't.

I'm a self confessed nail polish addict and a great believer that you can never have enough pretty shades no matter how much my friends tell me you can. So the first things I picked up were some bargain nail polishes I've been considering for a while and I just couldn't say no at the discounted prices.

MeMeMe Shimmer Stack Beauty Haul #1

Its become abit of a tradition over the last few years for me and the ladies (as my husband calls them) to meet up once or twice a week for a good gossip at our local coffee shop followed by a wander round the nearby shops. We tend to head straight for the discount shops to see what bargains we can pick up. 

On one such morning earlier this week I couldn't believe my luck to come across stacks of MeMeMe shimmer stacks in Gold and Pink Zest reduced to £2 each in The Outlet.
