Sunday Haulin'

Sundays are my least favourite day of the weekend. Sunday means it's nearly Monday, signalling the need to get all the work I should have done, done.

However, I managed to power through some of it this morning so feeling proud of myself I went on a little adventure to my local Boots.

I did pretty well with only buying things I need though, so that's a first. Two of my favourite things are the Carex soaps, one in bubblegum and one in strawberry laces. I think this is the best idea for kids because I'm definitely washing my hands more often with soaps that smell this good.
Then there's the ProVoke Touch of Silver shampoo and conditioner; I love this range. Whenever I've washed my hair with this I get asked by the kids at work if I've dyed my hair because it looks so much brighter.
I then picked up two of the famous Collection concealer as it's my fave ever and grabbed the new Maybelline Lash Sensational to try it out. My favourite face wipes (bad blogger habit, hey!) are the Simple exfoliating wipes so another packet of them was needed and finally, the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in 51.

With any luck this will mean I don't have to stock up on necessities for a while...but I'll probably find a way to get back in there anyway!

What are your must have items?

Carex Hand Soaps - Cola Bottles & Strawberry Laces

These soaps aren't quite beauty products but I couldn't resist photographing them for my blog when I bought them a couple of months ago. I'm a sucker for anything that smells like something I can eat, especially when it's sweet.
These hand washes are scented exactly like two old favourites from the pick 'n' mix sections; cola bottles and strawberry laces. When I say exactly, I mean exactly. There isn't even a hint of soapy smell from either, they're almost edible!

Since working in a school I'm even more conscious of picking up germs and bugs from everywhere so although I wash my hands at numerous points in the day I also wash my hands as soon as I get home from work. One pump of soap is enough to create lots of bubbles with warm water and the smell tends to linger for a little while after which I love.

Sadly I've worked my way through the strawberry laces bottle which was my favourite but I love the sweet scent of the cola bottles soap every time I pop to the bathroom!

These soaps are super inexpensive priced from £1-£3 depending on the retailer. They're currently on offer at Boots.com here (click!) for just £1 each.
