Latest Boots Buys!

I went into boots looking for some Conditioner and seen these babies, Aussie Limited Edition Miracle Moist Shampoo & Aussies Lusciously Light Miracle moist Conditioner.

The Conditioner was €4.49 for 250ml. I love Aussies Conditioners and Boots are doing an offer at the moment, two Aussie products for €7.50 so I saved €1.48 when I bought the 300ml Shampoo too. I've been using them for the last three days every morning so lets just get down to business! 

I am disappointed with the Shampoo,  It didn't have that bubbly lather when I applied it, you know what I'm on about...have you seen those adverts where the woman is getting a little bit too excited in the shower over washing her hair haha! And when I rinsed it out it left my hair feeling like straw (which reminded me of when I had my hair bleached blonde a few years ago, it wasn't pretty and took years to brush afterwards!). 

Then the conditioner was equally as disappointing! I much preferred the Aussie 3 minute miracle conditioner! Even though my hair was left feeling soft after I blow dried it I did miss the feeling when you rinse your conditioner out and your hair feels like silk, this left me feeling like i had conditioned my hair with fairy liquid (Yes I admit I did that once, long story...student days!). I had no hair products in my hair before washing it and I got the same results over the last three days So i'm not sure why they had this effect with my hair, I will continue to use them because i paid for them and they clean my hair but I don't think I'll be rushing back to buy them anytime soon, even it the shampoo is limited edition!!! 

The other product I bought from boots which i'm thrilled about is the Vaseline Lip therapy in Cocoa butter, I heard they brought this out ages ago and have been keeping an eye out for it! It cost me €1.89.

I have to admit I'm a bit of a lip balm freak! I tend to wear it most days rather than lippy or gloss unless I'm out out for fancy occasions!! Over the last few months I've been addicted to Lipsmacker in Fanta flavour from Penneys which cost €1.95. Iv'e been trying out the Cocoa Butter for the last three days and its already been bumped onto my "running out the door checklist"

Checklist

money

keys

glasses

Cocoa butter 

First of all the scent is lovely and it instantly makes my lips feel nice and smooth. I have also been using it on my nail cuticles and it works a treat! At the moment i'm doing skills demonstrations as part of my course which means no bling no nail varnish no make-up and no personality! its a pain but i'll be finished next week. Anyway with a clear coat of polish and this cocoa butter Vaseline on my cuticles to moisten them they look nice and healthy! 

€1.89 for 20g

€1.95 for 4g

Have you used any of these products? What did you think of them? 

Lots of love

Hanging Jewellery Organiser

I always spend a few minutes before I dash out of the house searching for that favourite piece of jewellery that I can never find! STRESS! I seen this in Penneys last week. Its a Hanging Jewellery Organiser and it only cost €4.

I searched the house from top to bottom and collected everything together and placed it in this contraption, it is safetly hanging on the back of the door in the spare bedroom – out of sight but easily accessible YAY! When we have visitors then I can place it in the wardrobe. 

What do you think. €4.....not bad!

Stylish Blogger Award

I hope everyone is have a FAB week :D Last week the lovely Rebecca from We own the sky Awarded me the “stylish Blogger Award” and Nancy from sincerely-mimi awarded me the “Blogger award 2011”. Thank you very much ladies, I was so delighted. At the moment I’m not a series blogger and I plan on putting more effort in when I’m finished my course. Anywho By receiving this award I have to name 7 facts about  myself.

1. 1.       I only get my hair professionally cut about once a year, I dye it myself.
2. 2.       I love second hand stores, even if I have no money I like to take a gander and I enjoy markets! Antique kind, not  VCR’s or pirate DVD markets!!  
3. 3.       I asked my friend for help with this, her reply on facts about me – Super tall! I am 5ft 9 so I suppose you could call me tall! I never wear heels during the day unless i’m at an event!
4. 4.       I love anything mint, shampoo, lipgloss, facewash you name it!
5. 5.       I’m also a sucker for anything that smells/taste like apples (I drink bulmers too!) Fell in love with apple flavoured mentos in Paris 2003 wish they sold them here in Ireland!
6. 6.       My favorite colour when it comes to make-up is Purple but when it comes to everyday things my favorite colour is electric blue!
7. 7.       I moved to the UK when I was 19, two weeks after I got my leaving cert results. I  studied, worked and broke hearts there until I moved back to Ireland four years later!
