Superdrugs Mini Haul

Hiya!

Recently I went to my local Superdrug's to look for the new Kylie Jenner SinfulShine collection and luckily they stocked it!
I wanted to purchase all 8 colours but I couldn't justify buying them all at full price so I thought I'd just wait for a deal to come on before purchasing them but I did manage to get 2 shades and the top coat. 
Kryptonite
When I first saw this on the display I feel instantly in love with it! This gorgeous teal colour made me want this collection and it didn't disappoint! No words can describe how beautiful this shade is and Kylie Jenner did an amazing job of using this shade to promote this collection. 
Kommando
This pretty nude colour is so cute and not as sparkly as I thought it'd be. Its so subtle but the sparkles make it very elegant; its an amazing everyday colour. I found that the formula for this shade was harder to paint on as it was thicker than Kryptonite.

I haven't used the topcoat yet as it seems as if its just a regular topcoat; it didn't say whether it's needed or not. I used the polishes on its own and it still gave an amazing shine after just 2 coats and the colour came out beautifully. I do hate the brush as its so small but that means that its perfect for nail art.
I am definitely going to purchase more of these polishes as I love how beautiful the shades come out.

As I was about to go and pay I spotted that Barry M had made 2 Superdrug exclusive nail paints. I managed to get both shades.
Carnival Couture
This shade reminds me of Tiki Hut from the coconut fusion range. The colour is darker than shown on the bottle but it's such a nice shade of brown.
Festival Fever
I LOVE THIS! It's bright and vibrant. This shade reminds me so much of Superdrug! 

I have always been a Barry M fan as the brushes are thick and makes painting so easy. I love the tops of these polishes as its a shiny silver lid; the lid is textured and gives it more grip. 
I am now on the hunt for the Barry M Boots exclusive polishes although I am disappointed that they didn't pick a blue shade to match the Boots logo. 

What new polishes do you love?

Boxing Day Haul

Hi!

So Christmas has come and gone and what else is left except to hit the sales! I love my bargains!!!
This year I restricted myself to just a few shops and avoided the supermarket.

Boots
Boots this year disappointed me because there wasn't much so I only spent £6.24.
Botanics All Bright Micellar 3-in-1 Cleansing Solution £2.24 || Royal Jelly Hand Cream £2 || Glitter Babes Bath Fizzer Set £2
I bought the hand cream for my mum because she loves her hand creams and my little sister love her bath fizzers so I bought her the set. I've recently found that my face has become more oily and so I thought I'd give the Botanics solution a try.

Mothercare
I was in search for some new long sleeved PJs for Z as its become very cold and his old long sleeved PJs have grown small so I decided to look in Mothercare. I spent about £47 altogether.
PJ Set of 2 £6 || Rocket Pants  £3 || Spiderman Pants £3 || Thomas the Tank Engine Pants £1
I always buy extra pants as Z still have accidents and I was shocked at the price of the Thomas pants because the sticker said £3 but when I paid it said £1! £1 for 5 pairs of pants is such a bargain!
I got a few bits for my friend's babies and I have no prices for individual items as I lost the receipt but the items ranges from £3 to £8.

Superdrug
Every year I look forward to Superdrug's Sale because they have amazing discounts. This year was no difference except that a lot of stock was already gone by the time I got there but I did manage to do a fair bit of shopping and all I spent about £37 on this haul.
I bought a lot of Kinder Surprise gift houses as they were £0.99 each and I had a boxing day party to go to so I thought I'd get some for the kids there. 
Leafy & Lively Bath Fizzer £0.99 || Princess Pink Bath Fizzer £0.99 || Princess Pink Bath Fizzer £0.10
Lately I have been obsessed with bath fizzers (bath bombs). I haven't been using them in the bath but leaving them out in rooms like potpourri. I normally go to Lush but this year I thought I'd stay local.
Studio Brush Set £4.99 ||  EcoTools Brush Set £4.99
I opened the boxes to see how soft the brushes were. The Ecotool set was less softer than the Studio ones but it was still very soft.
Sweet Snuggles Blanket £1.99
I love the colour of blanket but it wasn't as soft as I would like but I needed to get a small blanket to keep in S car for when Z falls asleep during car journeys.
Studio Spotty Glass Nail File Duo £0.99 || Studio Purple Glass Nail File Duo £0.99 || Flutter Nail File Trio £0.49 || Lipsy Trio Nail File £0.49
I just went crazy with nail files. I have to file my nails at least once a fortnight as my nails chip very easily. I ended up giving some to my sisters because they're always stealing mine.
Bubble Bath Pods £0.10 Each
Z loves his baths and I loved the designs on them. I'm not too keen on using the bath bubble because Z has very sensitive skin so we just use them to play games with.
Sleek Silver Giftset £9.99
Out of all of the bargains I love my Sleek Giftset because it was a bargain! I had received the Sleek GOLD giftset for Christmas and they contain different items. Even the staff at Superdrug was shocked at the price!

What bargains did you manage to pick up in the boxing day sales?
