Haul: The Body Shop

Hey Guys! There was a 40% off discount code for The Body Shop so I thought I'd treat myself and grab some bits. I went to the store inside Stratford Mall (not Westfield's) and the store was very disappointing. The staff were crap, the store was dirty and neglected and a lot of the make up products were totally out of stock.  But anyway, here's the stuff I did get:

I got myself 3 lip butters. I've been meaning to try out lip butter for a while but didn't want to part with my £4 when there's so many other lip products on the market that are cheaper and work well. I chose shea butter, mango and the new one, chocomania. I have no idea how these smell, hopefully they are nice! I've used the shea butter for a day and it's ok but I'm happy I didn't pay the full price. Once I use up these 3 tubs I'll stick to blistex or carmex; much more moisturising in my opinion.

This is the tea tree toner and full rrp was £4.50. I've only used this once but I really like it. It was cooling but it didn't make my face feel like it was burning! A perfect toner for the hot weather (even though it has been horrid all bank holiday weekend). If I was going on holiday somewhere hot I'd definitely pack this to take with me.

This is the vanilla body mist and it was £7 full rrp. Erm, I don't know what made me buy this. The idea is great but £7?! And this is a bit of a risk purchase as I can't smell it and everyone else can. I hope it's a sweet vanilla smell but not too overpowering and not too fake vanilla smelling. If you bump into me, please let me know how I'm smelling!!

Like the body mist, this was just another impulse purchase, a crazy 'i need to make the most of my discount' buy. You know what I;m talking about don't you? This is  a hand cream set, 3 30ml hand creams in hemp, wild rose and almond. I've also wanted a body shop hand cream, they are pretty good and this set works out well. One tube of 30ml hand cream is usually £5 so 3 should be £15 right? But this is £12, and then I got my 40% off so it worked out quite well. I really look forward to carrying this round in my handbag :)

Nail Polish: Rant and Rave

I didn't intend it this way but this blog is a rant and rave on some bright arse nail polishes!!! (Beige style and mushroom review to follow in another post).

So the first two pics (below) are just pictures of colours I've reviewd before, namely....erm i can't remember the names!! (Barry M mint patty dupe, sorry! and Collection 2000 BMX Bandit?! Brain has gone blank...too lazy to go and check)


Above we have Barry M's Lemon Ice cream. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!!! I've blogged about what a let down this is a few posts ago so please go and read up. Do not waste your money on this. The colour would be beautiful but in the pic I've got 5 yes FIVE coats on and you can still see my nails!!!!! :(

Above we have Rimmel's Urban Princess. I didn't think it would be that great but actually I love it and this is what I wore on my nails to work today. It's cute, fun, flirty and pretty. This would be a perfect toenail colour. I can't wait to try it!!! I did two coats today which in person is fine; this is one of the colours with the new 'maxi brush' and can i just say, i LOVE the maxi brush!!!!!
This also promises up to 10 days wear....but I don't wear one colour that long anyway, so not bothered about that.
Lastly and randomly I want to rave about my new favourite handcream. Below is the amazingness that is Wilkinson's own brand Skin Therapy Ultra Intensive Hand and Nail Cream. This product is a) under 60p!!!!!! and b) when you use it, even after you wash your hands your hands still feel moisturised!!!! What else is this good and is under 60p!? If you live near a wilkinsons I really recommend you get hold of this. I suffer from contact dermetitis and this is a life saver!
