The Week of Hauls... #1 Boots.com

Hey lovelies!

Me and my credit card are no longer friends... I may have broken my no buy this week.... epicly. But on the plus side to this it means i have three(ish) hauls to share with you guys. The first that arrived was my Boots.com goodies! I had taken advantage of their 3 for 2 offers and currently if you spend £70 you can use the code MUM2013 to get a further £10 off.... i just couldn’t resist. So i stocked up on some essentials and got a few naughty bits.

    

Dr Jart + - Water Fuse BB - £16
I'd been eyeing this for a while but trying to use up some foundations (i have far, far too many) before i took the plunge. Couldn't refuse with the 3 for 2. Full review coming soon.

Soap and Glory - Sugar Crush Body Buttercream - £10.50
've fallen in love with the scent of the Sugar Crush range, after getting the scrub in the Boots Star Gift at Christmas i new i had to have the entire range. To me, it smells a bit like lime, cola cubes and brown sugar. Not the most refined scent, but i absolutely adore it.

Soap and Glory - Sugar Crush Body Wash - £6.50
Clean On Me is my holy grail shower gel, i won't use anything else... Until i discovered they do it in the Sugar Crush scent. So *fingers crossed* it'll work just the same but just smell more delicious.

Soap and Glory - Make Yourself Youthful Serum - £16
You might be seeing a trend here... I quite like Soap and Glory. This is repurchase, at first i wasn't sure i was going to pick up another one but after not using it for a month or so i really missed it. So i picked up another two to stock up, i haven't done a full review on this so if you'd like to see one, let me know in the comments below.

Collection - Lasting Colour Lipsticks - Vintage Rose & Sweet Tart - £2.99 Each
Honestly, i only picked them up to get my order above the mark to get the £10 discount and as i plus you got a free Extreme Felt Eyeliner. From the swatches, the shades aren't like anything i own (and definitely not like the swatches on the Boots website). But first impressions are good!

Oilatum - Natural Repair Face Cream - £7.65
Holy grail moisturiser. My local Boots has stopped stocking it in store... WHY? OH WHY? So i took the opportunity to grab a few tubes. This moisturiser is hands down better than anything I've tried for dry skin, both "drugstore" and high end. I'd even see it out hydrates Embryolisse by a mile.. If you're skins on the drier side, pick this up, NOW, you won't regret it.
 

So thats it for part 1 of my naughty week of hauls...

What have you been buying lately? Let me know in the comments!

Intro to : BB Cream

I'll start by introducing what BB cream is for those of you that don't know. Bb cream stand for Blemish Balm. Basically BB cream was originally designed as a treatment for an actress who had surgery to cover up and heal her scars or so i've read somewhere. they were first used in dermatology clinics and later was developed as an everyday product and it turned into this amazing miracle(for some people) that is a huge hit in Asia and is now growing into other countries also. It's not a foundation, but some describe it as a tinted moisturizer with healing properties. Most BB creams have spf, whitening, anti aging, moisturizing, water based and oil free. therefore it heals your skin as you wear it(protects it from the sun, evens out skin tone, heals your blemishes and prevents it from getting new ones, won't clog your pores and more!) . i've seen the changes ever since i started wearing it. i rarely get pimples or break out, and it is not harsh on my sensitive skin the product is amazing!!  there are load of different kinds and brands of bb cream. even high end companies like clinique to drugstore brands like Garnier make them(i just found out today and have yet to get a hold of one). I started using it about 4 or 5 years ago. The brand that i first used was the korean brand skin79 and have stuck to it for a while, i still use it, but i have also been using other brands. BB cream is good for people who have sensitive skin or those who like natural looking, light makeup. it gives a really healthy glow. It pretty much is an all in one product, no need for caking on layers and layers of moisturizer, sun block, acne/blemish treatment, primer, and foundation. isn't it amazing. i highly recommend it!! BB creams really vary depending on the brand or the ingridient it has, i suggest you test it out on the back of your hand if you have a chance before purchasing if it really is right for you
