I'm probably not alone when I say I love sales, discounts and bargains when shopping. One store I like to go to every now and then is the boots clearance store. As the name says it's basically a big boots store with discounted items. This store can be very hit and miss, sometimes I'll go in and find lots of things I like other times there'll be nothing worth looking at. If I know I need a new item from boots, like soap and glory products, I always try to come here first. A while ago I made a visit here and I managed to get all of this for just £30.
I picked up a few soap and glory products which had great discounts. Slim Wear £1 and Scrub your nose in it £3. I've repurchased Scrub your nose in it in the past after loving the product so I picked up another back up for when I run out. I've never used Slim Wear so hopefully I will love this too!
I then got this body exfoliator Sugar Crush, I've never used this until now and I love the lime smell it's really nice fresh and fruity. I think this is the old packaging too so it might look different in stores now. This was £2.
The other 2 soap and glory products were Mighty Mouth and Return to Slender. I've used Mighty Mouth before and think it's great for putting in your handbag to keep lips hydrated. Return to slender is a new one for me so hoping it's as good as the rest.
The christmas cards were 50p so I picked those up (everything was bought before Christmas) and the 17 eyeshadow and blush were 75p each. Never used this brand before so for this price I thought I'd try it out. I love blue eyeshadow and the blush was a nice neutral shade.
The harajuku perfume was £3 so I picked it up, it's only a 10ml bottle but I really loved the smell. It's the G summer scent so I'll probably be using this in the summer. The small size also means it's great for when I travel.
The Lancome palette was the biggest spend at £15, which was about half price. I think the original price was £30/£35. I'll probably do a separate post on this, but the colours were a matte black and some greys/silvers.
For anyone wondering where the boots store is, it's the one in Beckton so if you're ever in the area or live in London you can take a trip out if interested.
So as the UK release date for the Revlon Lip Butters approaches nearer, I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on them. I managed to pick up a few on my visit to California last year, they were pretty hard to find. We drove around looking in almost every Rite Aid and CVS that we could. Rite Aid from what I saw didn't stock them at all, and the stands at most CVS's were sold out. The three that I bought were the only ones left so I got them all. There were maybe two others that looked like they'd been opened and swatted so I skipped on those. The three colours I managed to get were, 070 Cherry Tart, 055 Cupcake and 090 Sweet Tart.For me I like them a lot, my lips are VERY dry and I need to apply a lip balm quite often or else lipsticks stick to dry areas too much. So to have something that is not only rich in colour but also good for moisturizing my lips is great. They apply easily and you don't need to be too precise as they do sheer out. Cherry Tart and Cupcake both have small glitter pieces in but this isn't very noticeable when applied. They are very long wearing, which is expected from a lip butter.The packaging is one of the things I like about these, the colour on each one matches the colour of the product inside. There is also a clear top so you can see what the actual product looks like which is nice for when you're looking for a certain colour. I've signed up for the release date email as these will likely sell out very quickly. They sell for $7.99/£7.99Have you signed up for the release email? Will you be purchasing any? Do you have a particular colour you want to buy?
