Bargain of the week - Andrew Barton Heat Protection Spray

Who doesn't love a bargain?

So when I was tottering round asda and found myself down the hair care isle and spotted this Andrew Barton heat protection spray for blonde hair down to 5Op from £3.5O it would have been rude not to buy it.

I don't usually use any kind of heat protection on my hair (I know my poor hair) so I was excited to give it ago, I rarely straighten my hair now days but I do blow dry it.

Now that I have this it's likely I may just start straightening my hair again you know for blog purposes to put this spray to the test! 

 

Bargain of the week

Okay so it wasn't quite this week but was only last week or so, I saw a post on a make-up swap page I'm in on facebook for real technique brush sets scanning through at £5.5O at asda.

I've wanted some real technique brushes for awhile now after seeing them all over the blogging world but could never justify the price tag for myself when I rarely wear make-up BUT at £5 can I really let that offer pass me by?

Of course while on the food shop it goes without saying I went to hunt some of these babies down! Not expecting to find any as the make-up section in my local asda is pretty pants.

To my surprise there was quite a few of both sets there (eye starter set and travel essentials) 

I ran to self scan to check what price they were scanning through at and there it was that gorgeous £5.25! 

I don't wear eyeshadow so I didn't get myself an eye starter set, pretty impressed with myself as the old me would have bought them anyway for the sake of a good bargain. Kind of gutted to as I may one day start wearing eyeshadow and as they say 'nothing haunts us more than the things we didn't buy'

 

I was even more impressed today when I popped into superdrug on the hunt for the real techniques sponge and spotted the brush set I have for £2O.99! 

 

Bargain ebay watches

It really is no secret I LOVE a bargain, recently referred to as an eBay queen *insert monkey hiding eyes smiley* but I wear my crown with pride :)

Now a watch for not even £2?? 

You'd be silly not to buy one, of course for that price you don't/can't expect the quality to be that of what you'd expect from a watch from river island or topshop.

but to be fair for the price the quality really isn't all that bad, As you can tell from the picture (credit to my wonderful other half) None of the watches are set to the correct or same time because I haven't actually worn any of them yet but they are soo pretty and such a bargain does it matter if I never wear them?

They will take pride on my wrist this summer.

God I love poundland

Now we all know I love a good bargain, So it goes without saying that I'm a big fan of poundland and 99p store.

There's so many hidden gems in these places

The girls don't even need shampoo but like hell was I leaving these behind, Who doesn't love disney princesses and frozen?

I'm still undecided if I bought them for me or the girls, I only noticed the frozen stuff as I was quing up so I'm heading back tomorrow to see if there's anything I missed and if they stock the bubble bath and nail polish I was tagged in by a friend on instagram.

(sorry for the picture quality I grabbed the photos from my instagram)

Cheap & Cheerful Statement necklaces

I'm not much of a jewellery wearer but recently I feel a nice statement necklace would finish off my outfit perfectly!

So as I'm new to wearing necklaces I refuse to spend alot on one necklace for it to sit on the side.

Each of these necklaces cost no more than £4 BARGAIN!

I dread they may look cheap and tacky on arrival but at prices like £2.97 or so each it's not to much of a loss or a bank breaker if it goes to the girls for their dressing up box.

Each of these necklaces can be found on eBay searching statement necklace.

Revlon - 220 Juicy Apricot

While in my local poundland I took a little longer to have a look at the make-up they had in

as I've seen their chit chat range pop up on a few blogs, I usually dive straight passed to the cleaning or themed isle they have

as always there was a hidden gem or two among all their chit chat range of lipsticks and lipglosses 

there was some revlon lipsticks many shades of reds but I haven't worn red lisptick in ages so I didn't grab any of the red shades this time but I may go back for some as they are so cheap,

there was also this gorgeous peachy kind of shade, which I loved the minute I had a look!
So it went straight into my basket

The third picture is alot more true to the actual shade (I really must work on my photography)

I've gone crazy for peach,coral, nude and all sorts of lighter shades of lipsticks recently so this one is just perfect, I'm yet to actually wear this lipstick out as I keep forgetting about lipstick all together. I'm wearing it at the moment tho and I love the shade
These lipsticks come with a moisture kind of stick in the centre which smells like mint

I did grab a picture of it on but my skin is just horrific ATM

I also grabbed a sally hanson sugar coat nail varnish

but that ended up all over our tablet, my sofa and floor.

(I really must learn that leaving my girls for even a second is dangerous)

Poundland Treasures

Poundland is my favourite place to stop off at before heading home after the school run.
It's full of so many hidden treasures!!
I buy alot of brand name cleaning products from there but no one want's to see that do they!
So here's a small amount of the treasures I've bought recently.

I have 2 of the tangle attack brushes but as they are they the girls the pink has already gone to the land of no return. I will be doing a closer review of these brushes.
The chuppa chup candles were my fave scents out of the many scents they had in stock, they also had love hearts ones too.
You can never have enough hair donuts either eh?
After a friend made a donut bun using just my hair (no way in hell could I do it myself)
she said the medium size they had for sale would be perfect for my hair length, I'd never have thought my hair was long enough for a donut so big.
The shampoo and detangler smells so nice I just had to grab it, the girls don't even need any of either but for £1 they sure as hell were coming home with me!

BARGAIN of the week

 I quite often get stuck on what I should post on my blog without posts becoming pointless 

and being made just so I've blogged about something that week, So I'm going to start doing a weekly/monthly post on my bargain of the week/month depending when I get myself a good bargain :) 

This weeks bargain has to be my Topshop bag (although I received it last week) 

I did expect it to be double the size it is but I'm totally in love with it :)

even more so that this little beauty only cost me £9.99 + £2.99 delivery 

BRAND NEW just has its label cut to stop any store returns 

You can still get this beauty here and it's now been put down to £8.99!!! 

BARGAIN of the week

One of my bargains of the week has to be this Mamas & Papas urbo dolls pram :) 

I managed to get this for a bargain of £24.99 from £54.99!!! from Argos

I also got a Mamas & Papas luna dolls pram for £20 from £39.99 from ELC

so excited to see the girls faces on Christmas day :)

super bargain buy - o.p.i nail lacquer

Today I popped into the 99p store to get some more Halloween bits for the girls Halloween party, while there in there it started raining really hard so i went round to an isle to look for an umbrella but they only had the kind i'm scared of lol. While down that isle i came across loads of O.P.I shatter nail laquer in numerous colours I don't know if these are fakes or ones that are meant to be thrown, The bar code on the bottom has a pen line through it, I've never purchased O.P.I nail polish before so I wouldn't know if they were fake without researching online for abit but either way for 99p could I really go wrong? either way it's a bonus :)
