I hope you're all having a fun bank holiday weekend? unfortunately it is absolutely pouring it down with rain here in Yorkshire, the plus side though is that it means a relaxing day snuggled up with the kids watching films (in between laundry and cleaning duties lol).
Anyway, today I have a fun beauty haul to share with you (yay) I've got to say though that it was soooo hard for me to have to wait to try it all out until after I had taken all the pictures, but now I've tried out most of them so I can give you a rough idea of how I feel about everything.
The Aussie hair care products are by far some of my faves since I've been lightening my hair, as many of you will know, whenever you're going from brunette to blonde hair there is always going to be a certain amount of damage particularly at the ends of your hair. I find that the Aussie Reconstructor conditioner really helps to keep the ends of my hair nice and soft instead of looking frazzled and so when I saw that they were on offer into my basket they went.

2. L'oreal Preference Recital Very Platinum (£5.99 was £7.49)
I've noticed that my hair has started to become slightly brassy again, but rather than just toning my hair as I normally would I decided that since I recently cut around 4 inches of my lovely long hair and lost some of my blonde colour I would re-lighten it so that I can take the colour back up a little higher.

3. Superdrug Performance Natural Light Golden Brown (£3.99 was £4.29)
As I was already going to be colouring my hair I figured why not touch up my roots too, although I have been considering changing my main hair colour for the summer hmmmm decisions decisions.

4. Got2B Oil-Licious Styling Oil (£2.70 was £4.05)
I am a huge fan of hair oils in general and although I've never tried this specific one I do have their dry oil mist and since I love that one I figured I'd give this one a whirl. I'll let you know how it goes.

5. COLAB Dry Shampoo London (£2.32 was £3.49)
I know that at it's normal price this dry shampoo is generally a little more pricey than other brands like Batiste but I've got to say that performance wise this one is definitely my top dry shampoo at the moment. One of the biggest problems I have with dry shampoo is that since I have darker hair (at the top anyway) you can usually see a slightly chalky residue at the roots of my hair and I hate it. With the COLAB dry shampoo I honestly don't get that white powdery feel at all and my hair still looks refreshed and so whenever I see it (there's never any stocked at my local store lol) I pick up a bottle.

6. Superdrug Dry Shampoo Cocoa Brownie (£0.97 was £1.99)
You can never have too much dry shampoo (honest) and at 97p why not?

1. Superdrug Essential Facial Cleansing Wipes (£0.99)
I'm forever needing more makeup wipes, lord knows where they're disappearing to (although I have a feeling that my 10 year old daughter may have an idea lol) and the super drug ones are cheap, they don't break me out and above all they're nice and wet (I hate it when your makeup wipes are really dry as they just never work as well)

2. Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water (£3.32 was £4.99)
Up to now I've kind of been skeptical about the benefits of using micellar water to remove your makeup, after all there are so many other options but at £3.32 I figured why not give it a try? and boy am I converted. It removes my eye makeup without any difficulty at all, theres no scrubbing even when I use my Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner pen which is a massive pain in the bum to take off (it's kind of a dupe for Benefit push up liner) So this micellar water has quickly become a part of my daily routine.

1. BarryM Aquarium Nail Polish shade Mermaid (£3.99)
There was no way that I was leaving the shop without buying this pretty glitter polish, I mean just look how pretty it is with the greens, blues and golds and it must be good as my daughter has already stolen it twice lol

2. BarryM Gelly Nail Paint shade Huckleberry (£3.99)
I am loving pretty pastel nails for the spring (which judging by the weather still hasn't actually arrived) and this pale blue is a perfect colour for me, it's so pale that it's really more of an off white colour but it looks great on and looks even better when you add the Mermaid glitter polish.

3. BarryM Gelly Nail Paint shade Greenberry (£3.99)
Are you sensing a theme lol? I love BarryM Gelly polishes, they're super opaque easy to apply and the colours are always so pretty. The only thing that can be a pain is the drying time but it's definitely worth it as once it's on it stays on well, especially for someone with nails like mine which seem to be completely resistant to nail polish of any kind.

4. Rimmel Sweetie Heart Velvet Matte Pastels shade You're Mine (£3.99)
I love a good matte nail polish when I fancy something a little different and immediately fell in love with this pretty pastel pink, it dries super fast which is great but to be honest up to now I've not been overly impressed with the quality. I had to really build it up before it would stop looking patchy and it chips really really easily and for a busy mum like me it barely lasts an hour. I will of course give it another go (if at first you don't succeed and all that) although it may be better as a way to accent another polish so maybe just on the nail tip.

5. BarryM Nail Art Pen shade Pink (£4.99)
I have to confess I already own two of these in the shades white and black and I love them, they're perfect for adding designs and little touches to your nails. They're easy to use (really similar to using a pen) and dry nice and fast and as long as you seal them in with a top coat they aren't going to budge.

6. MUA Super Strength Base Coat (£2.00)
I picked this up as I had run out of base coats and figured this one was a great price and the fact that it was super strength was a huge plus for me, but to be honest up to now I've been really disappointed. I thought that for sure this polish was going to help to prolong my nail polish but to be honest it came off a lot quicker than when I used the same polish without this base coat. Really not something I'm looking for in a base coat so I think I'll stick to my usual base coat and just use MUA's makeup products as they're always good quality.

Okay folks so thats it for part one of my haul just typing it all out makes it feel like I bought waaaaay more than I actually did but it also makes me want to go back and get some of the products I decided not to buy. I think I might have a problem lol. Thank you for stopping by and as always I will be back soon this time with the makeup part of my huge Superdrug haul.
Alice xoxo
