Tricks and tips
Here are some of my tips and tricks I use:
Ever buy a shampoo and it ends up making your hair greasy or you just dont like it? Use it as bubble bath or use it to handwash your delicates.
What if you have a hair conditoner you dont like?
When Im on holiday in a hot country I smoother my body in conditoner its great for keeping in moisture and retaining a tan. Also use it as a shaving cream youll find the blade will run smoothly along skin with conditioner on.
Use olive oil on dry skin or on hands effected by hot and dry or cold winter conditions.
Waxing: If you buy wax that says it doent need heating its usually impossible to use my tip warm it a sink of warm tap water itll go on easier.
every now and again if you have dry skin on your face smoother it in Sudocrem used on babies bottoms lol. It has a plesant lavender fragrance and leaves your face lovely and smooth.
E45 cream not lotion is the best thing out there as a regular hand cream if like me you suffer with dry hands and its cheap too.
Bottles of cheap witch hazel not the brand as it is dear! Is the best toner you can buy its not harsh like some of the alcohol ones and also can be used on other areas of the body shuch as to heal bruises!
If you found any of these handy let me know!

Sorry Ive been gone for a fews weeks what with moving house, my grandmother dying and going on holiday my blog has been sadly neglected. So I'll catch you up on bargains etc.
Think Ill start with today and work back over.
This hairband from dorothy perkins and at only £1 and 20% off I couldnt say no! I also couldnt say no to a long string of pearls which are still showing up as £7 online, a LOVE brooch and some beautiful white disc ear-rings all 80p each with the 20% discount which sadly finished today :(
I went to collect my boots order in store today just some photo corners nothing special but theyre on BOGOF and my local store is too small to stock them. My store also still have a reduced stand in which i found some garnier deodorant for 70p each brilliant concidering its normally £2.79 got to the counter and the girl tells me its only 35p a can as theres a half price off on it atm so even better! So that was savings of £6.88 in Boots alone! and In dorothy perkins I saved £20.30 so a good day for me all in all.
Ive also had some good charity shop bargains. a lovely Zara summer coat for £3 and another summer coat from New look only £2.25!

I got some lovely new bedding for my new house for £11 at tesco and some lovely pink pillowcases 2 lots only £1.25 a pack. Ive been using the double velvet voucher in the new tesco magazine to get my tissues as theyre only £1 atm and its a 50p off voucher then when you peel back the top of the box you get another voucher so im all ready for winter colds with all our hankies now lol.

Charity Shops
So I love charity shops and here are this weeks finds.
Brand new M&S Bra for £1
Brand new cosmetic sponges 10p a pack
Brand New No7 Make up brushes £1.25 (these are pretty good actually theyve replaced my ELF ones for the moment.)
2true
So my local Superdrug has a reduced stand for damaged and nearly out of date stock and today I found the above. A 2true eyeshadow set with one shade broken so when I opened them both up and found they made a set I was very happy lol. Its shade 13 I love golds, browns, coppers and this kinda hits on all of them so for 40p I got £3.90 worth of products :D Yet another fantastic bargain.
Mua Nail varnish and Eyeliner
So I thought I would try somemore MUA products as my store finally got somemore in stock sadly none of the Shades 7 or 12 eyeshadows though they seem so popular.
I got the black eyeliner shade 5 as I swatched it on my hand a few weeks back and actually again today and it takes about 7 hours and many many handwashes to rub off! I have it on my hand right now and its been on since 2.30pm Ive washed my hands about 12 times (I have to at work) and Ive been in the shower and washed my hair and theres still some on my hand so cant wait to try it on my eyes lol.
I also got a nail varnish in shade 10 which is a nice pearly shell colour think mother of pearl. Now I love the shade but I had read on someones blog or seen on youtube I cant remember which that this nail varnish is hard to use! They werent wrong! If you are like me and like to go over and over your varnish til its smooth, dont try it with MUA is seems to congeal! I have tried it on one nail today and its so lumpy Im sure theres a trick to getting it on in one smooth coat but I cant seem do it! As im typing over put on more coat on and its smooth! Im wondering if the heat were having at the moment has something to do with how it dried before? I have now done every nail and Ive decided it was the heat as it seems smooth now! This heat has placed such a problem with my make up these last few weeks lol.
Batiste V's Superdrug!!!
So Superdrug have realeased they're own line of dry shampoo's (Well theres 2 in in the range lol).The names of the scents are rather odd! I decided to try Away with the Fairies! As it seems quite fitting for me :D I have looked online for the other fragrance's name but it's not online yet. Must be a very new product. I thought I would try one out as Batiste is £2.09 in my Superdrug and theyre own is only £1.49 every penny counts remember! its a 60p saving.
Comaprison time!
The Fragance of Away withe the Fairies is floral its actually nicer than Blush by Batiste it's more like a body spray fragrance. Which I find really pleasant. So Ive used Batiste for awhile so Im used to the fact it comes out of the can dry, which is hanndy for a dry shampoo, oddly the Superdrug on comes out wet? Now for a dry shampoo I find that a little odd. In time the alcohol does however evaporate and the talc (its actually rice starch) is left behind.But I have a problem! I use dry shampoo after ive straightened my hair and I am worried if I use it like that the wetness of the spray will take my straight hair back to its natural wave! I havent had a chance to use it like this yet and I did actually have some Batiste in my hair when I tried it initially for this review so it wasnt the best trial. I will however use it again soon especially on my straight hair and let you know the outcome.
