Payday Treats! Part 1...

It feels like I have been waiting for payday for forever! Today I did a hop, skip and jump into Boots and Superdrug itching to spend some of my hard earned wages (OK, earned. ;))

There's no award winning photography here (is there ever!?). I was dying to blog what I bought and didn't want to wait for daylight. So I am splitting it into two posts. The make up will have to wait for daylight to photograph.

Anyway, enough of the waffle. Here's my haul..

Superdrug Vitamin E Skin Care Range:
Hot Cloth Cleanser
SPF 15 Radiance Moisture Cream
Exfoliating Facial Scrub
Nourishing Night Cream

This little lot cost me £7.98! Reeesult! I've read great things about the Hot Cloth Cleanser, and I've been dying to use it. The cost of just one is £5.99, but you can buy 2 for £3.99. How fabulous is that? I am looking forward to try all of these products and will do a review on each one. I don't want to overload my skin (it will be an oily mess!) so I will do it bit by bit.

Superdrug Chocolate Brownie Dry Shampoo

This was a deal, buy one get TWO free! So I got three for £1.99. I haven't tried this one before, so I am looking forward to. I am a brunette, and the usual dry shampoo makes it grey.

Superdrug Coconut and Sweet Almond Intensive Conditioner


I started swimming again this week, and my hair is so dry after, despite using loads of conditioner. So I thought I'd give this a go, and for £1.49 its no biggy if its rubbish. It smells lush! I am a sucker for coconut, it is one of my favourite scents. Hair products don't usually excite me, I normally buy whatever is on offer at the supermarket. But, I think I will make more of an effort now, purely for research purposes for the blog ;)

Montagne Juenesse Face Masks
Blemish Mud
Passion Peel Off
Green Tea Peel Off
Strawberry Souffle


I've said before, I love face masks, and I'm addicted to using them right now. Peel off face masks are oh so satisfying to use. I can't wait to try them all. These were from Home Bargain 3 for £2. I also bought one from Boots for £1 to get my spend over £5 for another No7 voucher.

I looked at my Superdrug receipt, and I saved a whopping £8.96! Ace!

Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry Face Mask

I love a face mask, I do one at least once a week. It's uaually a Montagne Jeunesse that I pick up from Asda for £1 each. Or I have bought them from Home Bargains (a discount shop) for 3 for £2, although there's not many to choose from.



Sorry it's not the best picture!

Very Berry has a very mild, pleasant scent. Its really thick and creamy, and applies really easily to your face. It's really gentle, unlike ones that can make your face feel like it's on fire! Leave it to get to work for 10 to 15 minutes and wash off.

After I used this, my skin felt plump and moisturised. I used my Simple Night cream after and my skin looks really fresh. Even my mum commented when she popped over earlier on how 'glowy' I looked. This is a compliment and a half considering I have hardly any sleep due to a toddler who has forgotten how to sleep!

On first impressions, I thought I won't buy again. But I think I will. It's a nice, gentle mask that works well and makes my skin feel really fresh.

What are your favourite face masks? I can keep them in mind for future purchases :)
