A Shower Gel Good Enough To Eat (With A Good Cause Too!)

I'm sure that I'm not alone when it comes to not wanting to spend a fortune on products like shower gel, soap etc. I personally see it that you're literally washing away money as there is really no difference between a shower gel that cost £1 compared to one that cost £30+ apart from the brand/scent/ingredients but realistically, they all do the same job. With that being said, when I came across the I Love.. Perfectly Peachy Bath & Shower Creme, I had to stock up and buy a few bottles as they've teamed up with CoppaFeel to help promote breast cancer awareness.

The I Love.. Perfectly Peachy Bath & Shower Creme (£2.99) is a paraben-free and PH-balance shower gel that not only smells of heavenly ripe peaches but also gently cleanses and cares for the skin with a non-drying formula boosted with extracts of passion flower and peach. However it's much more than just a showergel, it has a handy #ShowerHijack guide on the back of the bottle which explains how to thoroughly check your breasts for early signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

I Love.. are the first company to include information like this on their packaging and it is such a great way of putting the information out there whilst making it accessible but more importantly, fun! It literally takes just five minutes to check your breasts and whilst you're in the shower/bath, it's literally the most ideal place to do so. I'm sure that once I've used up the ginormous bottle, I'll keep the back part and some how frame it in the bathroom so every time I'm in the bath, I literally CoppaFeel as it were ;)

Products I've Hit Pan On

For those of you who aren't familiar with the terms "hitting pan on", it just basically means that you've used up so much of the product that you can visually see the pan/bottom of the packaging. These are one of my favourite posts to read as you can really tell when somebody loves a particular product and seeing as I do enjoy reading them so much, I thought I better share what products I use a regular basis!

The NARS Laguna Bronzer comes as no surprise as it's the only bronzer that I reach for to contour with. As you can see, I've hit pan quite a fair bit on this which just goes to show how often I reach for it! Seeing as this is one of my all time favourite bronzers, I cannot wait until I've used it all up and move onto my backup of it as there is no better feeling than swirling a brush in a new powder.

The Natural Collection Eyeshadow in Crushed Walnut is a hidden gem in the beauty world as it's the perfect eyebrow powder for those who have fairly dark brows. I use this with the ELF Concealer Brush as it's small enough to mimic hairs whilst covering a large enough sparse area. I've been using this for the best part of three years so a little definitely goes a long way!

I remember when everybody was going on about the NYC Sunny Bronzer and how I jumped on the bandwagon but couldn't understand the hype about it at first but I can see why. It's billed as one of the best bronzers for pale beauties without coming across as being too muddy or orange - so long as you use a very light hand! 

Lastly, I simply couldn't mention MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade as it's one of the best highlighters ever and is one that I'm forever recommending to everyone and their nan! It gives an instant highlight within one brush stroke which intensifies the more you apply.  

Boots Haul 021

I will admit that I much prefer doing my sales shopping online in the comfort of my own home rather than braving the cold and pushy crowds to get only a few things that I had to fight for. This year however, I decided to go to my local Boots for their 70% off sale which I must admit is rather frightening just before the store opens as the amount of people giving you the dagger eye is unreal! With that being said, I did get rather lucky and got quite a lot!

I've been wanting a delicate jewlellery stand for my bedside table for quite a while now and this beautiful ceramic heart shaped, two-tier stand fits the job perfectly! I'll be keeping all my daily rings on top whilst my bracelets and watches will be on the bottom and for only £3.60, you can't go wrong! I'd been eyeing up the Bell Jar for quite a while and when I saw one left, I knew it was meant to be however after getting it home, I'm not entirely sure what to do with it! This was also £3.60 so not bank breaking - any suggestions on what to put in it would be greatly appreciated!

Last year, I bought the horizontal three drawer heart unit which has been storing lip balms ever since and I absolutely love it. So when I saw the vertical version, I knew that I had to get it to complete the set! I don't actually have any use for it yet but for £4.80, you can't really complain. As I'm currently in the buying everything for when I move out phase, I thought it would be rude not to buy the two star candles especially when they were only £1.80 each and they'll make nice tea light holders once I've completely burnt up the candles. I've been debating whether or not to get the Soap & Glory She Bang Set for ages as I bought one as a christmas present for a family member so when I saw that they were only £18 I just had to get one especially as they were going fast!

I couldn't resist in picking up four silver tea light holders for only £1.20 each and if I decide not to have tea lights in them, my cacti fit perfectly in them too! It might seem a bit excessive in buying a trinket tray when I bought the jewellery stand however I think I might use the tray tray for candles as shown above if not, then it wont break the bank as it was only £3! Lastly I bought a cheeky candle which I won't ever burn as the lid is too beautiful for £3 also!

Did you pick up anything in the Boots 70% off sale?

Feel Unique Haul 001

Out of all the online sites for buying makeup, Feel Unique are one of my favourite ones to buy from purely because they're forever having some sort of offer going on. I don't always place an order though as I prefer to window shop rather than buying everything I have my eye on. With that being said, I did place a cheeky order just after boxing day which was sparked by this particular post by A Girl And A Beauty Blog who flagged up one of the products on my wishlist had some money off so naturally, I couldn't resist!

I've been wanting the TheBalm The Manizer Sisters Palette for the longest time ever, probably since it's initial release back in October but I'd just never got round to purchasing it.  It contains three shades - Mary-Lou Manizer which is a beautiful yellow champagne shade that looks stunning on the tops of the cheekbones; Cindy-Lou Manizer that is a pink toned shade that you can use for blush/eyeshadow and contouring and lasting Betty-Lou Manizer that is ideal for bronzing yourself up with. After seeing it at the bargain price of £21.60 which works out to be £7.20 per shade, it's one of the better bargains I've bought so far!

As I'm running low on my Dr Bronner's Magic Soap and won't be popping into a T K Maxx anytime soon, I picked up a new one in the almond scent which is my favourite scent to date. This helps to keep my makeup brushes clean whilst making them smell good too. Lastly, I bought the Redken All Soft Supple Touch which is a softening cream-spray for very dry/brittle to help improve the condition of the hair whilst making it more manageable in the process.
