Supermarket Finds

Monday, 9 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Supermarkets sell everything these days from clothes to make-up and often it's cheaper than drug stores and department stores. I thought I'd show you some of the things I picked up recently. 

In my last blog I told you about the travel set I got from boots, well, the next day I discovered a similar set in Aldi for £6.99.


Aldi - £6.99


It's a bit different to the boots set, with this you get four bags instead of three, these are patterned and the boots ones are just clear. 
So now I have plenty of bags for plenty of make-up, I always spot something cheaper the day after I've bought something. 

I had to buy two new shampoo's, everything runs out at the same time. One shampoo is for my Mum's house and one is for Mr Honeybees house. For my house I got Dove hair therapy. 


Tesco - £2.69


This one is a damage solution intensive repair shampoo and I really like it. It smells bloody gorgeous, It smells like strawberries to me and it lathers your hair really well. I find a lot of shampoos don't lather these days and those ones tend to make my hair greasy. I paid £2.69 at Tesco and I just checked the website and it's BOGOF at the moment.

The second shampoo I got from Tesco is the Garnier Ultimate blends shampoo.


Tesco - £2.79


This is a shine revitaliser in a lemon and green tea fragrance. I haven't tried this yet but it smells really nice, I love anything lemon or citrus smelling. This one cost me £2.79, they do others in this range so there should be one for your hair type.

Last but not least I got a new nail polish from the Maybeline color show range.


Tesco - £2.99


I got the street artist top coat this time for £2.99 it's a lilac and silver sort of glitter. 

They're my recent finds from the supermarket. What have you picked up from a supermarket that perhaps you didn't expect to find? Let me know in the comments.

Boots Pharmacy Buys

Hey Honeybees!


Today's post is a short one I just wanted to show you a couple of things I picked up when I popped into Boots Pharmacy a few weeks ago.

I nipped into boots to try and find a new make-up bag as my old ones zip had broken, probably from the strain on the amount of make-up in it.  I needed to get a large make-up bag and they can be dear so whilst looking I noticed a travel set. 

Boots - £8.99


I picked up this three bag travel set for £8.99, I'm using the largest one for my make-up and the other two for toiletries. I need to store my things like this as I spend some of my time at my Mums house and the rest of the time at Mr Honeybees house.

 




The second and last thing I picked up was Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover for £4.99.




I haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to remove your nail polish in 1 second per nail. It also says it has a Red fruit & Vanilla fragrance, this is not true! I foolishly smelt it (don't try that at home kids) it smells of really strong nail polish remover, I think I lost some brain-cells.

That's all I picked up this visit to Boots, I'd be interested to know if you have picked up anything interesting from Boots or any drug-store recently, let me know in the comments.

Superdrug Haul pt 1

Tuesday, 20 May 2014

Hey Honeybees!


I have to admit that when I go to Superdrug I go slightly mad and go wild in the Aisles. That shop just does something to me (nothing rude, get your minds out of the gutter), all those make-up, skincare, hair and fragrance products. I also get my eyebrows threaded there, if you're interested and they do a great job. 

Let's start with the make-up goodies I bought. After watching some Youtube beauty channels I decided to buy a couple of eye-shadow pallets.

First I bought a pallet by Sleek MakeUP, the i-Divine oh so special Palette. It contains twelve 1.1g mineral based eye shadows. 



Superdrug-£7.99


Prices may very depending where it is sold but I paid £7.99 at Superdrug.
I also picked up a Barry M palette, this one is a shadow and glow palette. It's called the summer love palette and comes with six pastel eye shadows and a dewy highlighter.



Superdrug-£6.49


I got this for £6.49 in Superdrug, but obviously you can pick it up off the Barry M website to.

As you may know Superdrug are celebrating their 50th Birthday this year. To celebrate they have collaborated with some make-up brands to bring us some 50th Birthday special Products.



They firstly have teamed up with Barry M to make a nail paint. It's simply called Birthday Superdrug 408. The colour is bright pink Glitter and it cost £2.99 
Superdrug-£2.99
They also teamed up with Max Factor to make a mascara. It's called clump defy and comes in black. I love the packaging on this again it's bright pink but it has white polka dots to.This is priced at £7.99 which isn't bad at all for a mascara.

Superdrug-£7.99

The last bit of make-up I picked up was two Maybeline Color Show nail polishes (I really want to spell colour the English way, but it says color on the bottle with it being an American company so I had to give in).

Superdrug- £3.99 each




I chose the Street Artist Alley Attitude, which is a black and blue topcoat and light up which is silver and rainbow in colour. They're priced at £3.99 each

That's part one of my Superdrug haul, part two is to follow soon.

Welcome to Honeybee Chatter

Wednesday, 7 May 2014

Hey Honeybees! 


Welcome to my new blog. I thought I'd tell you in this first post what exactly I'm going to be blogging about. That way you can decide whether or not you want to follow my blog. 

 Firstly. I'm a big girl so I'll be talking about any plus size clothing I buy. So I might do some clothing hauls so you can have a nosey and see if there's anything you might wear and like to buy. I may also talk about the best plus size selling shops or issues I have with being plus sized.

 I'll also be talking about make up I buy, what I think of the product and if I'd buy them again. I'll also be doing the same for skincare and bathing products. I'd like to say I'm no expert so this will just be my opinion and not expert advice. 



As well as all those things I'll be talking about accessories, like, Jewellery, shoes and Handbags.

 Then sometimes I'll talk about my life for example if I go on a day out or to a party etc.  Plus I may talk about serious subjects that affect my life like depression, anxiety or other illnesses that affect my family. 

 Sometimes I'll talk about random stuff, actually I'll probably do that a lot as I do tend to go off on a tangent. 

 So there you go that's going to be my blog in a nutshell. What do you think? If it sounds good to you then please follow my blog. Also I'd like to hear any comments you have, do you have any other ideas you think I should blog about. I'd love your feedback.

 Thanks for reading
