Tesco haul + great deals

♔

٩(^‿^)۶

hello everybody!

Just a small Tesco haul from a few days ago that I'd like to show you guys along with the savings/deals I've come across as well. Calculations of how much I've saved would be at the end of this post~

I love it when magazines are giving away Nails Inc bottles as their freebies. This time Nails Inc has collaborated with Kate Spade, a renown American designer, to release 4 shades for the readers of GLAMOUR. Sadly the Tesco branch I went to only had two shades available [Uptown Glamour (gold) and New York Noir (black)]. So it's worth getting for a full bottle (10ml) free with the magazine.

L-R: Kate Spade New York in New York Noir, Uptown Glamour, Soho Silver and Big Apple Red

Behold the gorgeous Katy Perry!

Here's my nail polish in the packaging
♠

Almost forgot to mention but inside GLAMOUR there is the Joy Card from The Body Shop entitling you to £3, £15 or £100 off your purchases in stores until the 24th December 2013. Last year I ended up with £3 off my purchase for bought myself a Hemp lip balm which was my favourite but used up too soon...my bad. Wonder how much I have off this year (bound to be the lowest) but better than nothing!

Had to check that GLAMOUR magazine wasn't included in this bundle but my other favourite magazines are!

The packaging reminds me so much of a theatrical stage especially with the words around the border "co-starring..." with the retro themed products as well!

towel headband...headband...towel....stretchy headband...someone tell me the actual name for these things (much appreciated). Comfy, big enough for my head, stretchy enough and definitely keeps my hair back

Say You Scrub Me - basically body scrub ;). Haven't tried this out yet as I've recently bought a body scrub not long ago but it smells the same as the face scrub I've reviewed from the beginning of this year Along Came Betty face scrub review

So Much Bubble - bath bubble

It's A Skin Thing - body shimmer.

Crystals Are A Girls Best Friend - bath crystals.

The names they have for these products are so catchy and obvious to certain phrases we've all heard in the past.

Now for the calculations from the Tesco haul:

GLAMOUR - £2 [Nails Inc - free £11] 

3 Great Magazines - £5.99 [ELLE - £4.00
                              COMPANY - £2.50
                                    COSMOPOLITAN - £3.60]
 Along Came Betty Shower Glam Packed Shower Treats - £3.50 [£7]

Sadly this offer from Tesco only lasts until 24th November 2013 saving you £3.50 [LINK]

So to recap in total I've only paid £11.49 for everything 
whereas without the savings I would have paid £30.10 for individual products. 
Saving me £18.61!
I'm glad I decided to check on the Tesco website on that shower treats set.

Phew ~ haul finally typed up before the offer has ended. Worth getting for yourself or a Christmas gift for someone. 

Mucho love,

[Review] Tesco's Along Came Betty face scrub

Recently in Tesco they have revamped their beauty range 'Along Came Betty' which seems to look like Soap and Glory from a distance and all the other retro packaging from different stores. I thought I'd give it a go seeing as it was introductory price at £1.99 and only having one face scrub that is too harsh against my skin -coughs- St Ives Apricot Scrub.

The packaging is very retro-based but that's what attracted me to buying this in the first place (°⌣°)

Don't worry the white consistency spreads very easily on damp face. Smells fruity and feels very soft so it's not grainy like most scrubs I've seen.

After washing off the scrub, pat your face dry then moisterise afterwards (°⌣°)

Personally this is better than St Ives but that's my skin preference. I would repurchase this again in future but it'll be £3 something or more but it works for me. I think this works great for people with acne as the scrubbing isn't so harsh plus it smells really really nice ♥‿♥

October Haul 2012

Seems like my dedication to my blog has quickly dissolved...my bad! 

Been buying so much stuff this month I probably don't have time to edit them one by one so would probably chuck them 4x4. It's my favourite method for my post but with such a horrible timetable I have with uni I spend more time editing images/pages for projects than blogging...tis a shame. o(╥﹏╥)o

I've noticed how Superdrug's MUA range is BOOMING with new products almost every week! I admit I've now tempted myself to buy something from them every week whether it'd be a lipgloss, pencil or blusher. Literally affordable and worth the price for a student like me!

Superdrug's MUA Professional Pro-Brow kit & MUA's Nail Constellation in Leo

Superdrug's 2True Cheek 'n' Lip Tint in Blush Pink, NYC Big Bold Mascara in Extra Black and Mini Boo from Amazon

Free sample with InStyle Nov2012 magazine - Benefit's Cha Cha Tint.

Boots 3 for 2 offer - Boots Essentials moisturising lotion, Boots tea tree & witch hazel Night Treatment Gel and ChapStick lip balm in strawberry

Tesco's Eyelene Lashstudio in Heartbreaker and Eylure Superfix lash glue

TKMaxx - Colour Institute Blush and Shimmer set

TKMaxx - Pat Says Now kitty mouse and Orly in shade Jealous Much?

Literally buying something every week...bad habit hehe. Unfortunately I can't label the price on everything on this post (too much time plus too many receipt to look through etc...or I'm too lazy).






Mucho love,
