Small Haul - Boots, The Body Shop and Aldi

So I kinda went shopping again...

Mark Hill Get Gorgeous! Turn Up the Heat Extreme Heat Protection Spray - £5.49

Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Rock 'N' Roll Extreme Hairspray - £5.61

Lacura Aqua-Complete Multi Intensive Serum Normal Skin - £3.49 

Carino Miracle Oil with argan oil - £3.99

The Body Shop Heavenly Hands - £12

I unexpectedly ran out of hairspray last week and decided to try something new, I love the Umberto Giannini Glam Hair range because it smells divine (I am so shallow). I also think the products I have already tried have worked so hopefully this wont let me down! it was 3 for 2  on hair care in Boots so I bought some heat spray and my mum bought a new hair brush (exciting!).

I then had an odd experience in Aldi. I have been on the hunt fora serum for a long time now but I find them to be so expensive and as I am still quite young I find it hard to part with my money for an anti ageing product. So when I saw this Lacura serum I snapped it up! I have read good reviews of their products and thought for under £5 if it was rubbish I haven't lost anything, as it happens I love it and I have been back to buy a back up for when this runs out!I also picked up their version of Moroccan Oil, bargain!

Last but not least is a gift set of 3 hand creams from The Body Shop. I had gone into buy just the 30ml Almond had cream but when I saw this set I thought I may as well treat myself! They had a promotion on that students got one of their Love Your Body cards for free and 25% off your first purchase! Even at full price this set is a bargain as each hand cream is £5 on its own ad all these are £12!

I should stop buying for myself and think about getting my Christmas shopping done!

May Empties

I have finished a few products this month But would I buy them again?

Gucci Rush

This has been my favorite perfume since I was 16. This must be my 4th bottle! I am sad that it has finished but I have 3 perfumes waiting to be opened so I don't feel too bad! 

I think Alien is a close second to this.

YSL Baby Doll

I have had this for 2 years now and it has just run out. I used this as an every day perfume. I would wear it again but only if someone else bought it me. I wont be repurchasing again but I would recommend.

Umberto Giannini Morning After Dry Shampoo

I have been trying out a few different dry shampoos lately as I feel Batiste can be a bit heavy for my scalp. I bought a travel size of this and I love it! It smells the best out of all the dry shampoos I have tried and doesn't leave much of a white cast. I will be buying the full size of this and it is cheaper than Batiste.

Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel

I got this as a sample when I bought 2 products from the Elemis counter in Meadowhall at Christmas but have only just got round to trying it this week. I loved it that much I have already bought the full size. If anyone prefers cleansing washes or gels to creams then this is a must!

Ultrasun High 30SPF face

I have mentioned in a few blogs that I wear this every day as my moisturizer and SPF. It is amazing and I cannot rave about it enough. Can't even remember how many bottles of this I have used! They are bringing out a SPF50 of it which I have already ordered from QVC!

Sensodyne Pronamel Daily Toothpaste

Now if you read my blog a few weeks ago you would already know about the trauma I have had with my teeth! This product has really helped though. I used to have really sensitive teeth and have always used a sensitive toothpaste but this is by far the best. I have barely any sensitivity now and I do believe it has helped harden my enamel. They do a whitening version of this which I will be trying.

Any of these you have tried?

My Mini Meadowhall Haul

I met up with my friend in Meadowhall the other day. I haven't been for a good look round for a while and really enjoyed myself. We went to Las Iguanas for a spot of lunch and a cheeky glass of wine before I spent a few pennies on the following!...

Primark Goodies! - Beige ballet pumps £4, Black ballet pumps £4, Cotton rich black tights £2.50, Make up bag £3, Jumper £12, Skirt £1 (BARGAIN!).

Boots 3 for 2 Goodies!

 Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara £7.99, Bourjois Light Illuminating  Eye Shadow 01 £6.99, Bourjois Light Illuminating  Eye Shadow 03 £6.99.

 Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Rock 'N' Roll Extreme Hairspray £1.99, Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Morning After Dry Shampoo £1.99, Umberto Giannini Incredible Body Volume Blow Dry Spray For Big Hair £1.99.

Bourjois Light Eye Shadows Left - 01 Right - 03.

I am excited to try these two shadows, they just caught my eye when walking past the stand! They are very finely milled and are not glittery at all just extremely shimmery. Hopefully they will be perfect for the corner of my eyes to make them look wider and maybe on my brow bone when heading out for the night! Was hard to capture how pretty the colours are as the lighting in my room is crap!

Seen as it was 3 for 2 in Boots it would have been rude not to have picked up something else to try. I am very picky with my mascaras and use an expensive one everyday just so I don't have any flaking! I cannot stand mascaras that flake! 

For a night out however I do like to pile on mascara for a voluminous look and I dont want to waste my expensive stuff! Seen as this has been "tested and loved by clubbers" according to the tube I thought I would give it a whirl! The wand doesn't look too big either, I hate it when they are so big you catch your lid with it.

Overall I am very happy with my bargains! I went into Topshop and saw a few things I liked but when I tried them on they looked awful. That always seems to happen to me in Topshop. I also made myself walk away form Debenhams very quickly! The MAC, Urban Decay and Elemis counters were calling out to me but I was a good girl! I need to remember I am a student and when I get a job I can treat myself. 

Having said that I have just bought some things from a few blog sales! I think I will do a haul of blog sales in the future when I get all my goodies delivered!

Umberto Giannini Overnight Beauty Moisture Review

I got this in a set that I bought from Boots in the sale. I bought the set mainly for the shampoo and conditioner but last night I was bored and though my dry ends could do with some attention.

Firstly I combed through my hair with my Tangle Teezer to get rid of any knots. Then I applied the balm through the mid-lengths and ends of my hair. Then I combed through with a normal comb.

Now I think I put a little too much on because when reading the product description you are meant to be able to get up the next day and not need to wash your hair...well I couldn't have done that seen as I put so much on that I looked very greasy! 

I then tied my hair up and went to sleep!

This is how it looked once I had washed it as normal and blow dried it. I think it does seem a lot softer but the ends are still a little dry. I think to be honest that the ends are beyond repair so next week I will be having a good trim before having another good go at growing my hair!

I would recommend this but I don't think it does anything that an oil wouldn't do but on the other hand it is only £5.61, I don't think you will find an oil for that price!

Oh and just a little tip...If you put lots of the product on like I did, put a towel over your pillow or it will get a bit marked like mine did!
