Beauty Haul

There is nothing better than a splurge on some new beauty products either ones I've never used or just the old favourites. I love trying new things on my skin and can safely say I have too many products to choose from now but I can't help myself.

Ted Baker Pink Body Spray (400ml)

I love Ted Baker bath and body products and have always got a body spray on the go but recently when I went into Boots I noticed that the packaging of the items had changed and I have to say I think they look so much better. I didn't even need to but one but I was sold by the new bottle shape alone. I prefer this one to the green mint one because the fragrance is just so sweet and subtle which is perfect for the summer or a top up throughout the day. They also do a mini spray which I got to put in the handbag. The fragrance is "Sparkling fruity grapefruit, mandarin and mango are teamed with subtle floral notes of neroli and jasmine, while the base of patchouli, sandalwood and musk completes the scent" That's what it says on the boots website. I think it's definitely an all round fragrance, it's not too overpowering, floral or musky. I just perfect :)

£7.00 for a 400ml bottle from Boots.


 Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Night Treatment Gel

When I saw this I wasn't too sure. I normally buy the tea tree products from The Body Shop as I love there face scrub and blemish fade moisturiser. Buy thought I'd try this to see if it would work. I've only used this for 3 nights but can already notice the difference in my skin, it feels smoother and just fresher in general. If I'm having a bad skin day I always use my Tea Tree products just because I know they work and are a good bacteria fighter so I know I can rely on them. So I will be adding this to my Tea Tree regime and will continue to use this to see how it goes.

£2.99 for a 75ml tube from Boots

Garnier Pure Active Face Wipes

I rarely use face wipes instead juts use a cleanser or micellar water. I saw these on offer so yet again thought I'd give them a try. I've use products from the pure active range before so I knew I'd like these. I think the worst thing about face wipes is when they're dry and hardly have any moisture in them, these were just right and were so soft so were perfect on the skin.I think these wipes teamed with the micellar water will be great.

£3.26 for 25 wipes from Boots

Soap and Glory Face Soap and clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash

I'm not going to lie I bought this purely on what it looks like, luckily I know how good the Soap and Glory products are as I'm a big fan of Sugar Crush so knew I was in safe hands. ( which I'd got the spray too, so excited about using that) I just think this looks so nice and appealing and for me the packaging and look of a product is equally as important as the product itself. I used this last night for the first time and I love it. I lathers up so quick and my face felt so smooth, fresh and clean after, I don't think I've ever had that same feeling from any other product before. It has tiny pink beads it which aren't an "exfoliate" like in a scrub but you can definitely feel them working.

£8.00 for 350ml bottle from Boots.

The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Bath Soak and Infuser
I know what you're thinking "Why would you have a bath in green tea" which I totally thought too before I tried it. It comes in the cutest tin and it's in a bag inside of that. The smell is amazing and it really does contain real green tea leaves. I also bought the infuser for it because I knew it would be less messy. All you have to do is add 1-2 tea spoons of the bath soak into the infuser, attach it around your tap with the clip and run your bath. The hot water will run through the infuser and brew the tea into your bath. I instantly felt so relaxed when I got in, my skin felt soft and overall great.

I know this is expensive and I won't be using it every time I have a bath because that's nearly everyday but will be using it every so often just for something different to enjoy.

Bath Tea - £12.00 for 300g
Infuser £5.00

Well that's it, hope you enjoyed reading and hopefully you've seen something you want to try. 

Thank you for reading!
