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?

This week's purchases...

I had a little mid-week browse and of course, ended up coming back with a handful of things I most certainly do need thank you very much.
Firstly, Real Techniques are giving us ladies an even better way to apply our eyeliner with this silicone nibbled liner brush. Whether you're into your cat eye or your Cleopatra I've got a feeling this is going to be one of the summer's staple products. £5.99 here (click!)
I stocked up on the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and thought I'd also give the Maybelline Baby Skin primer a go. I've given it a quick test on the back of my hand and I'm impressed with how well it blurs any imperfections. (concealer here £3.99 and primer here £7.99)
Lastly, the Bleach London Silver Shampoo. It's absolutely my new favourite shampoo - I've been using it up to 3 times a week since last November and I've only just got to the bottom of my 250ml container. Absolutely loving life with this one, especially since it's only £5 per bottle here (click!).

So, after that little ramble I'm off to relax since my Easter holidays have just begun. 17 days with no children needing my help or rhyming my last name with willy. If that doesn't deserve a pink gin and tonic from M&S then I don't know what does!

Another ELF purchase

After my post the other day I decided to buy even more from ELF. I'm not particularly in dire need of anything but nothing was too expensive so I thought I'd treat myself!

1- Make-Up Cluch Palette £7.50 

2- Nail Polish in Lilac £2.50 

3- Studio Blush in Tickled Pink £3.75 

4 - Studio Translucent Matte Powder £3.75

(all are clickable links)

All are still available on the website and I'll be posting reviews of them once I've had a chance to test them. 

Have you tried any of these? Let me know!

Love,
