The Body Shop Haul

The Body Shop

I have a confession to make. I am a massive Body Shop fan! Their products smell delicious and make my skin feel fab - what's not to love? Anyway a couple of days ago I had a little peek in the window and was lured in by the tactfully placed sales signs and this (shown above) is what I came out with!

I initially went in with the intention of spending no more than £15, as I had one of those £10 off when you spend £25 vouchers, however I was led astray by a lovely sales assistant who gave me a skin consultation (I have normal skin - yay!) which resulted in me buying three products from the Vitamin E face range! Also because it was three for two on skin care products AND the moisturiser was half price I got a set with miniature versions of everything which I think I'll use for Christmas presents!

On my way to the till I was seduced by the Blueberry Body Butter which was on sale for just £6.50 and the Vanilla Body Mist which usually retail for £9 but was reduced to £3.50 then I quickly went to pay before I got distracted by anything else.

All in my purchase came to £23.50 which is incredible for the amount of high quality stuff and I am going to smell and feel great for months to come - bargain!

What about you guys? Whats your favourite Body Shop product? And do you have any of these? Let me know!

A World Duty Free Haul

duty free haul

So a couple of weeks ago I flew from Aberdeen to London with my good friend Chelsea for The International London Tattoo Convention and on the way back, of course, we had a delve into the magical kingdom that is duty free shopping.

This is an Aladdin's cave if there ever was one. The duty free shop at Gatwick sells everything from sweeties to high-end designer handbags ALL tax free which means the more expensive the product - the higher the discount.vAs we didn't have much time to spare between our flight we only managed to pick up a few things, but if we'd have stayed for any longer our bank balances would have taken a serious hit!

Chelsea opted for a peach shimmery Chanel blusher which I can't remember the name of, and a MAC lipstick in Rebel. I got the same lipstick as my sister destroyed my first one and I've been in mourning ever since.

I also got a MAC eyebrow pencil in Spiked

and I purchased one of my favourite perfumes - Black XS by Paco Rabanne.

All in I saved about twenty pounds from the normal shop price, bargain right?!

What did you buy in your last duty free haul? Which airport did you buy from? Let me know!
