HQHair Sale Haul!

Thursday, June 20, 2013
About a week ago I was browsing Hqhair, love that site, and I came across their 70% off sale so naturally I had to have a look! I found some incredible bargains, I really had to restrain myself - even so I bought six things from Caudalie, Burts Bees, KMS, Loreal, Essie and Anatomicals. The day after I bought these things, they were gone from the site, along with other amazing cheap products unfortunately. 
The first three items I bought were from Anatomicals, Loreal and KMS California. I have heard a lot of good things about the Anatomicals The Holy Grail For The Deathly Pale Self Tan (phew) and as it was only £3.45 - I had to try it. As the weather in the UK is really nice and sunny now, finally, I wanted to try some self tanners and gradual tanners so I will report back when I have tried this. Next I bought the Loreal Nutrigloss Shine Cream Conditioner which was super cheap at only £1.85 for 250ml. I also bought a hair care set from KMS California from the FreeShape range. I have tried the kms freeshape blow dry spray and the freeshape hot flex spray (both of which I love) and I really wanted to try the matching products. This set contains the shampoo, deep conditioner and the hot flex creme. The best thing about it, the price, it was only £5.05 (strange price I know) but it should have been around £15. 
The final three items I bought are from Burts bees, Essie and Caudalie. Firstly, Estee from Essie button (love her) mentioned the Burts Bees honey & shea body scrub in one of her videos and when I saw that it was on sale for £3.85 I thought I would try it as I love most things recommended by Estee. But now that I have it, I am not too keen on the scent - it smells very strange! Next up is a nail polish from Essie called 'love & acceptance' and I freakin' LOVE this shade! It is a gorgeous mix between a dove grey and lilac which I would not have picked up if not for the super cheap price of £2.95 - yes, £2.95 for a full size Essie polish. Finally, a fragrance (50ml) and shower gel set from Caudalie. I have been eyeing up these sets for a while and as this was on sale for only £7.80 and the RRP is around £29 I added it to my basket immediately. The scent is the 'fleur de vigne' scent which is super fresh, light and very refreshing/uplifting and I love it - although it only lasts for about two hours on me. Review coming soon for some of the products in this haul. 

Hope you like this haul, unfortunately these items are not at the sale prices anymore as far as I know but the start of summer sales are beginning now so hopefully there will be some more bargains x

Primark Haul # 3

Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Here is the third and final part of my primark haul - you can see the first part here and the second part here. This post is all about primark accessories and also an Essie nail polish in the shade 'love & acceptance'.
 1. Primark Hen Door Stop (£2, sale): We went to Primark in Manchester last week or so and in the home wear section there were a few sale sections. One of which was a door stop sale stand, there were cupcake, lips, moustache and hen door stops. We bought the hen door stop, it is so cute and it was only £2. Although it is quite heavy so if you are going to get one, I would leave primark to the end of the shopping trip!

2. Primark Accessories Hanger: My mum bought this for me, I have seen a few youtubers etc buying this as well. It can be used to hang jewellery and belts on in your wardrobe/closet. I can't remember how much it was but it was no more than £3.50.

3. Primark Coffee Mug: I have seen a few of these on primark youtube hauls and they look great. Everyone seems to have the moustache one but I really like this one. It was only £2.50 - although you can't travel with it because it doesn't seal but it is nice anyway.

4. Primark Hair Clips (£1.50): Love these hair grips, especially the big ones - I use them to keep my hair off my hair when I am doing my makeup. Although as they are plastic and from Primark, they can break fairly easily but they are only £1.50.

Also I wanted to show my new favourite nail polish, it is Essie's Love & Acceptance. The shade is a gorgeous dove grey with purple undertones. It is opaque with two thick coats and it looks great! I bought this polish from Hqhair - haul coming soon x
