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.

Yours clothing & Ebay purchases

Tuesday, 3 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Ebay is a little treasure trove of goodies, you can buy anything on there from clothing to sprouts. I quite often find myself on there looking for a bargain or if I spot something on an other website that I want I always check on Ebay to see if I can get it cheaper.

This month I've bought a few things on Ebay such as leggings, shoes and  foot care products.

I'll start with the leggings, I bought these off Ebay but they are made by Yours clothing.

Look how thoughtful I am here, I could totally be a plus size model. This is my Oh look there's a squirrel, pose.


They are blue & black abstract print in full length and they cost me £15 on Ebay but they are also the same price on the Yours clothing website or two pairs for £20. http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Black_and_blue_printed_leggings-(17748).aspx

Yours clothing- £15


I'm not usually a fan of patterned trousers, I'm a bit fussy on patterned tops as well. These leggings look really nice on though and they are a decent thickness. I think it's best to wear them with a plain colour top, unless you're doing this pattern and pattern trend that's going on. 

My next purchase from Ebay is a pair of ballerina flat shoes. They're called Dolly Flower canvas bow shoes to be precise, and the cost £8.99 plus P&P £2.99.




Ebay- £8.99  P&P £2.99


These are so comfy, I have to be careful with shoes as my heels are really sensitive with thin skin, so hard back shoes really cut them. These don't do that, they don't rub at all and they are really light on your feet. I got the more blue ones but they do come in more lilac to. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Ladies-Flat-Ballerina-Pumps-Womens-Ballet-Dolly-Flower-Canvas-Bow-Shoes-Size-/261251606629?pt=UK_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item3cd3cf2865

Finally I bought something for my hard skin on my heals (lovely I know). I got the Scholl Professional Express Pedi, I paid £24.75 with free P&P which it at least £5 cheaper than anywhere else.

Ebay- £25.99

This is so much easier than using my own manpower with one of those handheld foot files. I have quite thick skin on my heal but this gets through it quite quick and it's also really gentle on the skin. 

I'd love to know any bargains you have picked up on Ebay. Is there anything you would recommend? Leave a comment and let me know.

Feelunique.com

Tuesday, 27 May 2014

Hey Honeybees!


My hair pretty much drives me nuts all the time, so I decided to have a look for some help on Feelunique.com I'd seen a video on Youtube by Zoella (I love her) https://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390/videos and she had something called a Tangle Teezer which I had never heard of.

Feelunique.com-£10.20


Tangle Teezer original professional de-tangling hairbrush was designed by a hairdresser called Shaun P who decided he was sick of it being hard to brush his clients hair. I have to say this is the best £10.20 I have ever spent. Is it wrong to be in love with a hairbrush? My hair has recently become the knottiest thing in history. This brush which I'm currently kissing, gratefully, is an absolute Godsend. I can't recommend this highly enough, it glides through your hair right from the first stroke. No more screaming because knots hurt, no more time wasting trying to get just one knot out. This is the future, I think it would be great for kids to, no more cries of "Mum you're hurting me!"  OK gushing over. I love you Tangle Teezer!

My hair also has zero volume! I tend to use the sleep in rollers for special occasions but I don't fancy doing that everyday. After a visit to the hairdressers I thought I'd look for a back-combing brush. Sleep In Rollers make one so I bought one for £4.50.

Feelunique.com- £4.50



I think it's going to take me a while to get the hang of back-combing, the hairdresser made it look easy. 

After my trip to the hairdressers I wanted to get something that gave my hair texture and make the layers more obvious.

Feelubique.com- £15.95


I ordered the Pureology serious colour care highlight stylist sea-kissed texturiser (that was a mouthful). I didn't realise it was for highlighted hair when I bought it, I'm not sure if that matters or not. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right (that's what he said) it doesn't appear to look any different when I use it. I'll have to look into it more. On the plus size it smells really nice I just hope I figure out how to use it especially at the price of £15.95.

Free-stuff! That's right people you get some free goodies when you spend over a certain amount and you can choose which ones you want.

Feelunique.com-FREE!


The first product I got free you couldn't choose, it's the Pureology Gold definer. It's not much use to me but I'm sure all you blonde ladies would love it. It's a large free sample at 30ml.
The next freebie I chose was a perfume sample. The BVLGARI OMINIA Indian Garnet 0.005 fl oz. It's not my sort of scent but it is a clean smelling perfume.
The last thing I chose was VICHY IDEALIA Life Serum 3ml. It smells a bit weird to me I Can't put my finger on the scent. It feels nice on the skin and it shimmers which is nice.

So those were my first purchases from Feelunique.com, if you liked this post please follow my Blog. You can follow at the top of the blog in the right column.

Superdrug Haul Pt2

Hey Honeybees!


It's time for part two of my Superdrug hall. This time I'll show you skincare and bathing products.

I wanted to find a moisturiser for my face to go under my make-up on a daily basis. I picked up the Nivea Daily Essentials Tinted moisturising day cream.

Superdrug- £2.39




I bought this in a natural colour, it's £2.39 for 50 ml. It can be used on all skin types and they state it evens skin tone and helps enhance skins natural glow.  It contains vitamins and Hydra IQ with an SPF 8. 




Moving on to face, feet and scrub. We all need to wash unless you like smelling of B.O, so why not wash yourself with something delicious like I Love... Strawberries & Cream.

Superdrug- £2.99


I could smell this product all day long and probably lick myself in a none sexual way to. This 200 ml ex-foliating shower smoothie is a bargain at £2.99.


Superdrug- £2.59


I've never tried a face mask before, yes I know I've lived a sheltered life. The reason being I have sensitive skin and eczema and I didn't fancy my face turning bright red with a rash. I really wanted to try one though so I had a look and spotted this, cucumber peel-off mask. I figure cucumber can't do you any harm. It is for all skin types and is meant to leave you with a refreshed look.  It really does smell like cucumber so your face will smell like a salad!  This cost £2.59 for 75 ml which isn't too bad.

Superdrug- £3.99

Poor old feet don't half get battered everyday and they really should be looked after. I have to confess I'm guilty of neglecting my little trotters. I get a lot of hard skin (yes I know ewe) so  I purchased the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula foot magic. I didn't know when I bought it but this product is peppermint oil and mango butter. I love mango but I'm not a fan of mint, it smells really strongly of mint so if you're a mint fan you'll probably like it. It contains vitamin E and it's £3.99 for 60g. 

 That's it for this haul, if you liked it please follow my blog as well as reading because followers make me happy.  You can follow at the top of the blog in the right column. Also I'd love to read any comments you have and I will reply to them.

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.

Primark Accessories Haul

Tuesday, 13 May 2014

Hey Honeybees


Here it is, the Primark accessories haul I promised you in my last post. Handbags and shoes are most girls best friends so I thought I'd get myself some new friends when I popped in to my local store.

I'll begin with the shoes, I picked up a pair of Plimsolls and some Birkenstock style sandals. 




The Birkenstock copy's were the first thing I spotted. I liked the colour, they're in a nude/tan sort of colour and the buckles are also this colour. I think they would go perfect with any summer outfit as they are so neautral. The price of £6 is amazing, especially if you compare it to the price of Birkenstocks.




I then had a look at the plimsolls section as I had bought a pair in pink and grey leopard print previously and wanted to see if they had any others in a different print. I found some in white, coral and grey with an Aztec print. These were an absolute bargain at just £3 and they are so comfortable to wear.


Primark- £3



I also bought a couple of handbags, one for each shoulder, which is normal right?



The first one is a satchel style bag in pale pink stripes. It has a main pocket with a zip up pocket in the back and a front pocket with a see through part on the front.  I guess you could put a photo in there but i think I'll keep mine empty. I also realised when I got home I already have one except its black and white, I guess I really like this bag. Primark charge £9 for this bag which I think is pretty standard for their bags.

Primark- £9




The other bag is a powder blue shoulder bag. It looks like it has been weaved and has a silver twist-lock. Inside there is one pocket with a zip pocket in the bag. It's quite a flat bag so it isn't meant to be used as a Mary Poppin's style bag. This one is priced at £8 which is good considering the detail. I love it but my Other Half Mr Honeybee says it looks like a Margaret Thatcher bag, men!
Primark-£8

Finally, I got some new Jim-jams, one matching set and two pairs of bottoms. 
The matching pair are unicorn themed Pj's, they are pink, white and turquoise with black and silver ribbon to hold the bottoms up.The top is pale pink with a unicorn and clouds on and the writing says "Be yourself and if you cant be yourself then be a unicorn". The bottoms are turquoise with lots of lovely Unicorns on and at the bottom they are elasticated. The top is £4 and the bottoms are £5.



Primark- £4


Primark- £5


You can't have too many Jim jam bottoms so I got two pairs. The first pair are turquoise with hot air balloons on they are in a legging style and they are elasticated at the bottom. They also have pockets, I don't know what for, tissues maybe. 
Then the other pair are white and peach with boats printed on, some the right way up some upside down, perhaps they're sinking. Again they are leggings with an elasticated bottoms. The balloon ones cost £5 and the boat ones are £6 I think. 




Primark-£5 & £6





I know this has been a long blog so if you got to the end well done.
