Mini Haul

 

I promised you all a little haul after my shopping trip yesterday so here it is!!

I didn't buy too much, but added a LOT to my wish list!!! Hope you enjoy this post.. I always prefer reading mini regular hauls rather than one massive monthly update.

So... here's what I bought!!

Yankee Candle Sampler - Pink Dragon Fruit
I love a Yankee Candle and at the moment Clinton Cards have 50% off selected scents. I picked up this teeny little sampler as had been wanting to try this one since it launched. As we moved into our new home in January, we found a lot of people bought us Yankee Candles as moving in presents so I'm trying to finish them all off which is why I only bought the sampler. I also noticed that they have started to stock their Christmas candles - so I'm trying to make room for the Christmas Eve large jar! That's my all time favourite Yankee and I'll defiantly be buying that from October onwards!!

The sampler is usually £1.80 but I managed to grab this bargain for 90p!

BlanX White Shock Toothpaste
I have been longer to have my teeth whitened for some time, but whilst I save some cash, I have been using BlaX shock white toothpaste.
Unlike normal whitening toothpastes, this product is super affordable at £6 a tube and I find that it really works. Whilst it doesn't give you really white teeth, it does visibly brighten teeth without providing damage. It's also activated by light - so clean your teeth using this before sunbathing and by the evening your teeth will be noticeably whiter!
I tend to use this the week before any important trips and so as I'm off to Italy this week for a wedding, I thought it would be a great time to start using it again.
I have to admit that I never use more than one tube at a time. Once this runs out I will be going back to Colgate just to make sure I'm protecting my enamel.

 

Lush BB Seaweed Face Mask

If you didn't already know (where have you been!!) I love Lush products. Not only are they 100% natural, you get to try the products in store before purchasing!! Not many shops do that but it just adds that little something extra to your shopping experience - the staff are also really helpful.
I have been suffering from a cold this week and because of this, have really dry skin on my nose. I asked in store if they could recommend a product which would start to bring some much needed moisture back into my skin. They suggested the BB Seaweed Face Mask- a mineral rich mask to cleanse, soften and beautify. All things which my face is crying out for this week!
I was sceptical about using this as sometimes you see horror stories of face masks bringing you out in massive spots! Luckily this didn't happen! The product has to be kept in the fridge which means when you apply it, it instantly cools your skin. This mask actually has  bits of seaweed in it - which is not only pretty cool, but it also cleanses your skin as you apply it. Its recommended that you leave this on for 10 minutes before washing off with warm water.
My skin felt refreshed, smooth and glowy directly after removing. I woke up this morning expecting to find a couple of pimples - but nothing!! It's actually calmed a spot I already had down - bonus!!!

Hope you enjoyed this post - I'd love to know what you've been buying recently so please comment below or send me your links

Lush Tea Tree Range

A few weeks back I reviewed the Lush teat tree toner tab. If you missed it, click here for the full review.

I absolutely love this product as it helped me out massively when suffering from a breakout of spots. I usually don't suffer from spots but I think a combination of this lovely British weather plus the mix of sun creams has caused a slight irritation to my skin.

As we've been lucky enough to have a warm Summer in Norwich, I needed to invest it some products which would prevent another breakout. I know tea tree isn't for everyone but it's always worked wonders for my skin.

I repurchased the tea tree toner tab as it's such a good product to keep in your beauty stash ready for any unexpected breakouts. I also love to build up a stock of little beauty treats for a weekly pamper night.. my bathroom cabinet is just full of beauty products to try from Boots and Lush!!

I also purchased the Tea Tree Toner Water. Tea Tree acts as an antibacterial so it's great for keeping away the grime and bacteria which causes spots - ewwww gross!!
It also contains grapefruit water which is really refreshing on the skin. There is nothing better than taking your make up off with a cleanser and then spraying this water on your face! Especially in this hot weather! If spraying directly onto your face isn't for you then you can also apply a couple of squirts onto a cotton pad. I tend to do this is my skin is already feel really hydrated. If it's particularly dry then I apply directly onto the face to ensure maximum coverage.

I would highly recommend these products to anyone who suffers from sudden breakouts. AS always with Lush, they're super affordable, made from all natural ingredients and to be honest I just love the shopping experience they create in the store in general!!

Happy Lush Shopping!!
