Debenhams and Boots Sale Haul

As you know I am on a 100 day spending ban and so far so good! One of the things I did before I started the ban was to put the goodies I bought in the Christmas sales to one side so that I could use them during the spending ban.  You can see my Lush sales bargains here.  

These bargains I got from Debenhams and Boots are the last of the items I got in the sales!
Prada Candy Gift Set
Contains 50ml EDP
75ml Body Lotion
I fell in love with this perfume when I got it in my Feel Unique beauty box in 2011 when it was first released!
It was reduced to £35.33 and I had £20 on my Debenhams card so a bargain at £15.33!

Next stop Boots!
Champneys Distant Shores Collection
Indulge yourself with this collection of tropical, uplifting blends of grapefruit, lemon and orange fragranced body care treatments.
Half price bargain at £6.
45ml Shower Mousse
50ml Body Butter
50g Body Scrub
50ml Bubble Heaven
Also contained a body polisher which I missed from the pic!
Champneys Oriental Opulence Collection
Indulge yourself with this collection of sandalwood, ylang ylang and patchouli fragranced body care treatments.
Again a half price bargain at £6.
50ml Opulence Shower Cream
50g Opulence Body Glow
50ml Opulence Body Cream
50ml Opulence Bubble Heaven
Also contained a body polisher which I again missed from the pic!
These mum & me products were also half price:
300ml Shampoo £1.74
300ml Conditioner £1.74
300ml Bath Soak £1.74
Sleep Mist £2.49
300ml Body Lotion £2.74
BARGAIN!

I've started using the perfume this week although my son told me I smell like dry ice which was kind of weird! I've been using the sleep mist too - a little goes a long way but it smells lovely and I do find it quite relaxing.

Are you doing the spending ban?  How are you getting on?

Aprils Empties!

Yay its bank holiday weekend! Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine :)

Used up quite a few items this month, I am putting £1 for every full size item and 50p for every sample size item in my money box.  I started in March and have £9.50 so far.


Full size Rituals foaming shower gel in Zensation - organic rice milk & cherry blossom, I love the Rituals foaming gels and this is my favourite scent.  Will absolutely definitely be repurchasing (once I use up the other three bottles I have!)

Full size Balance Me super moisturising body wash - this left my skin lovely and soft but I really don't like the smell it has patchouli in and the scent is very heavy.  I got this in one of my Carmine boxes, I wouldn't repurchase it in this scent but I have one in Rose Otto and that smells much nicer, like turkish delight! 

Sample size Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily bath and shower gel.  I got this in my Harrods Glossybox and I love it! A little goes a long way and the smell is divine. 

So thats £2.50 into the pot.


Sample size Decleor Phytopeel, natural exfoliating cream.  I received this in my last Feel Unique box, I really like this product.  You spread it over your face wait for it to dry then rub it off! It leaves my skin super soft.  The full size retails at around £25 so its not cheap, but my skin looks much better after using it and I have a few on the shelf that I have received in swaps so don't have to splash the cash just yet!

Two sample size FAB cleansers - my skin loves these cleansers which means I do too! I have a stash of these that I have received in swaps, I am down to my last three tubes now and will be purchasing the full size when I'm down to my last tube.

Full size Soap & Glory scrub your nose in it - I love the smell of this, I leave it on for a few minutes as a face mask and it leaves my skin lovely and soft.

That's another £2.50 in the pot.



Sample size Soap & Glory flake away - this smells good enough to eat! I think this is my favourite body exfoliator.

Sample size Dead Sea Spa Magik silky smooth body lotion - I received this in one of my beauty boxes, I use it on my shins and it doesn't irritate them.

£1 in the pot.


Sample size Lulu Timebomb flashback night cream - I received this in one of my Carmine boxes. Its quite light for a night cream which I quite like, it doesn't irritate or clog my sensitive skin. I was actually quite surprised by how much I like this product!

Sample size Yon-Ka Anti-Pollution Vital Defense cream - I received this in my December Joliebox, its a very small sample which makes it hard to judge whether or not you like a product.

Sample size Sisley Sisleya global anti-age cream - Received this in a Latest in Beauty box, a little goes a long way which is good as the full size product retails at a whopping £260 for 50ml! I liked it but I didn't like it £260 worth!

Thats £1.50 in the pot.


I wouldn't normally include toothpaste in my empties, but I got these in my Carmine box.  I have used this brand before and I wasn't too impressed with the whitening power BUT these toothpastes are brilliant, my teeth were much whiter after using and I'll be buying the full size.

Another £1 in the pot.



Sample size Ginvera green tea BB cream - I got this in a Latest in Beauty Little box. I have tried a few BB creams and not been too impressed with the coverage, but I like this one! The smell is awful but the coverage and colour is really good.  Its probably just a touch too dark for my pale skin but would be fine in summer.

50p in the pot.


Full size Prada Candy - My lovely hubby got me this for Christmas after I loved the sample in my first ever Feel Unique box.

Sample size Thierry Mugler Womanity - love the tester packaging! 

Sample size Yardley Peony - got this in a Carmine box, its actually really nice a lovely spring scent

Sample size CK Euphoria 

Sample size CK Shock

Another £3.00 in the pot.


Thats £12 in the pot for April.  Must moisturise more in May!
