Mid-Week Haul

This is just a few fabulous products I have picked-up recently. I will be doing a Vlog about them all (probably whilst wearing the fluro jumper to be honest...), and i'll review them individually in other posts soon too, so this is just a little snippet into my mad buying ways... 

M.A.C Brush Cleanser

I am just about to use this product, to give my make-up brushes a little Spring clean. I haven't actually tried this product before, but I have seen many positive reviews, so my hopes are sky-high for a fantastic finish on my brushes. It is supposed to care as well as clean, which is essential to maintain the quality and to reduce shedding of your precious tools. I will use, test and review the heck out of this bad boy for you. So if you're tempted, but on the fence... help is at hand.

New Absinthe Range at The Body Shop

The main point of this new collection by The Body Shop, is to purify your hands. When speaking to a lovely lady in the shop, she advised that it's great for wannabe Jamie Oliver's who chop a few cloves of garlic or just want to freshen up their hands a treat. I LOVE this smell, it's fresh and minty, and it just smells gorgeously clean. I have tried the hand cream a couple of times, and its perfect for normal skin (for really dry hands i'd recommend the Hemp collection), leaving them soft and tingly-fresh. The little hand gel, is perfect to pop into your bag, as a way of waterless cleaning on the go. Perfect before eating, or just preening on public transport. 

PitRok Roll-On Deodorant

Yes, this is a deodorant. And yes, I am talking about it on my blog, and I shall tell you why. Lately, I have become a bit concerned with spray deodorants, I just don't like putting all the parabens or alcohol, which can be found in many, on such a delicate part of my body. Even most roll-on deodorant's have some little nasties that I would rather avoid. So avoid them I have. This women's roll-on, by PitRok, contains nothing nasty whatsoever. It is very gently fragranced and is made of Mineral Salts, which 'protect against body odour'. I just always think, if you can help it, the more natural the product, the better.

Superdrug Conditioning Cuticle Oil Pen

I saw on the grapevine that the Vogue Beauty team had raved about this product, claiming it improved nail strength and appearance, so obviously I had to try it for myself! It's a snip at under £4, and I will go into more depth about how and if it works when I review it soon, but I must say, so far so good. Even the fact that the lid has a little cuticle end on, really just ticks boxes for me. It's the little things...

Xen Tan Luminous Gold Tan

I love a tan. No, no let's be honest here, I love Xen-Tan. Whenever they release a new product, it's a simple click, basket, buy situation. It's soon waiting at my door to be invited in, and popped straight on my eagerly awaiting skin. I really love the idea of this tan, its a clear gel containing little gold sparkles, not enough for christmas fairy - more Victoria's Secret angel. It is applied on, with a mild instant colour, (but no way near the same depth as a Dark Lotion or the Moroccan Tan), which then develops over time, to form an envy inducing olive tan. I can't wait to be covered from head to toe in this heady tropical-scented tan. South of france who...?

I hope you liked this haul ladies, let me know what you've been buying lately! I'll pop a Vlog up of this soon too, and reviews of the individual products one i've tried and tested for you guys. If you want to know now, the jumper is from Pull and Bear on Oxford or Bond St, and it really is very bright yellow, but i'll show you properly soon!

Love Lauren xx
