What's in my shower?

I thought this would be a nice little post because I don't think I've done one of these, or have and it was so long ago that I've forgotten. 

It isn't the best photo in the world, but it has my most important things in at the moment. 

Mostly soap and glory products as you can see! i love them always have, 2 shower gels, only one is open at the m minute and i'm sure it will last a very long time because it normally does. i'm using the sugar crush one, and have the clean girls one to use next. I also have a body cream as well, witch it the smoothie one. This smells like heaven, its honestly to die for. It makes your skin feel so soft and smooth too. Next up is my tresemme hair mask, i only use this about once a week, or twice if i think my hair needs a little something more. But because i use it so little it has lasted a long time. Its very nice and not to expensive to buy either. I will be repurchasing it when i eventually run out, unless i find another one i want to try. I have started using the body shop cleansing oil, it takes my make up off quickly and makes my skin feel soft after use. You dont need much just literally one or two pumps. It's the first oil i have ever used and i am really enjoying it. 

I have a scrub, its nothing special just a cheap one from tesco but it does what i need it to do so thats all good. My neutrogena wave is my bathroom as well, i use this every now and again. You have to replace the pads ( not expensive ) but i feel like i dont need it every day. 

I keep my sanctuary body oil here as well for when i get out the shower or bath to put straight on. It's a lovely product, and isn't like a oil at all. 

In the background i know you can see my watch, a face mask from superdrug and my baby lips. Just things that are normally knocking around somewhere in my bathroom. 

I d didn't include shampoo and conditioner because this changes on a weekly basis as to what i'm fancying at the time, but it isn't anything special. 

12 days of Christmas

12 days of Christmas contains 12 great products, all different, but all amazing. This can be used as an advent calendar type thing, or even just as a gift. It retails at £50; which seems quite pricy, but I think it's worth it. I haven't actually tried any of the products that are in this gift, but I have used many different lush products in the past. 

     Singular bath bombs are roughly £4 each let alone the 2 soaps and shower gels which the box contains. 

    Dashing Santa, holly Golightly, golden wonder and star light star bright bath melt are all included. 

If you are stuck for ideas, this is a good present, and something quick and easy. I will be doing reviews throughout December on the products involved, so if you are interested in hearing about the products make sure to come back then. 

The packaging is big for what is in inside though i think they have wasted a lot of space to be honest but its really nice. It is presented like a book which i think is a nice idea, its a shame that when you open it all the products are there i think they could have packaged them some how to kind of hide the products because it slightly ruins the element of surprise. I know that on the outside it tells you the contents but i think for some people if they dont want to know, you dont have a choice as soon as you open it. 

Sorry for anyone who didn't want to see the inside but maybe some of you do.. 

As you can see you have 12 sections in the box to keep the products separate, but i didn't really like the fact that the bath bombs haven not been wrapped like they normally would do when you purchase them in singles in the store. 

Here is a photo of the outside packaging, and it is a lot bigger than it actually looks. But i think the packaging is very pretty. 

Recent Empties

I have a couple of empties, not many but i thought i would talk about them, before they go in the bin and i forget. 

Most of the things are shower related. 

I haven't really used up much recently, but i have rotated everything in my bathroom trying to get my fella to help use them up! 

I have some goodies waiting to be used and i hate waiting! 

I have been loving the radox shower gels, The new ones.. well quite new.
I used 2 different ones recently. 

- Berry Burst

- Cherry Blast

I really liked both of these, the creaminess of them and how they lather up. The fragrances are beautiful. I will defiantly repurchase these at some point because i did really enjoy these, ( think the fella did too, they went pretty quick ) Which is a downside, i like things to last, but they weren't very expensive. I think i bought them on offer at £1 each, ( I'm sure if you shop around you can find them at that price all the time ) 

These are the three in the range ( i think they have bought out a few more since )

Hot cloth cleanser

I have finally finished my hot cloth cleanser ( i dont mean that in a bad way ) i thought it was never going to end.. The product is so worth the money, it just kept going and going.
I was so impressed. I love this product and bought a new one quite a few weeks ago before i thought it was running out. Boy was i wrong.. I finally used it up tonight. 
This was the first hot cloth cleanser i've ever used and to be completely honest when i first bought it i didn't even know what it was, until i heard someone else taking about it, and started using it. Ive used it every day every since. 
I want to try a few others but haven't got around to it yet.. But i will. 
Its the Superdrug Hot cloth cleanser with muslin cloth. 
http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-hot-cloth-cleanser-with-muslin-cloth-150ml/invt/516251&bklist=
Full price £5.99, normally it is on offer, because each time I've bought it it has been around £3.00 

Sanctuary shower gel
This was a new try to me, i've never tried the brand before. i bought a gift set just after christmas from boots when it goes half price. It including a few different things, like shower gel body butter etc. I was really excited to try the brand after i heard a lot of things about the range. 
I have to admit i wasn't a huge fan off the shower gel. There was nothing great about it, the smell was overly nice. You didn't get a lot of product i was quite disappointed. I still have some more products to try from the range so i wont give up for the range just yet.  

My Recent Wish List!

I've wanted several products for a while so i thought i would put them in a wish list form, not just to share with you, but so i can remember ; and tick off in my head what I've bought. If that makes any sense, it does in my head but out loud I'm not so sure!!

All of these things are beauty related weather it be skin care, make up and others. 

I'm going to try and do a wish list as often as i can, 

First up is ' Rimmel London apocalypse ' These have been around for a while now and i still haven't tried them! It's unreal that it's taking me this long to try one out. Soon i will!!

The colour i want ( this most boring ) is ' Luna ' it's the nude shade, i like to stick to what I know and play it safe. You can never go wrong with a nude as it suits everyone!! 

I've inserted a picture but I'm sure you know exactly what these look like!

You can buy these from a lot of places, as I'm sure you can abroad .

In the UK you can get these from ' Super drug ' ' Boots ' and I'm sure even some 'Wilkinson's'  and ' Savers' 

In USA they have a whole different name ( the product looks exactly the same ) 

They are called ' Show Off ' 

Obviously I'm not American, but i have been trying to do some research for anyone that hasn't seen these yet! You can purchase these from 'Walgreens' 

First thing i will do when i do eventually buy this perfect colour is share it with you!! 

Next up is a skin care product, It seems silly that i always i want to try out basically the same product but from a different brand, but i guess then i know what one is best. 

This one is the  ' Garnier Micellar water ' Basically at the moment i'm using exactly the same product but from ' Loreal Paris ' 

At Boots both products are the same price, But the Garnier is TWICE the size. It's amazing that for the same thing the difference is price. So not only is it better value for your money, i've heard it to be a ' Bioderma' dupe. Which i do have to say the packaging is very similar! 

I'm Excited to see how this tackles my dark eye make up removal! 

In the UK you can buy this from ' Boots ' and i've also heard that you can buy it from ' Savers ' for £2.99! but you'll have to check that one out!! 

You can also buy this product online at 

www.feelunique.com 

This is just a quick post, let me know if you want me to do these more often?? 

Also let me know if there is any products from the drugstore UK you want me to review and give my thoughts on!! 

Miss decorator :)

A homely post today of my little bathroom. I'm sure it would be a lot better if I did a video, but I just don't have the facilities to show you all :(. So I have a tiny simple bathroom. With a simple bath, a sink and of course a boring toilet ( they are all the same ) so with it being such a bad little room you have to try and deal with it and make it a little better if possible. So I thought instead of Boeing white walls, I would paint it cream/ magnolia to be true. It doesn't make that much difference but freshens things up a little and adds a tiny colour. We live in a rented property so there isn't much we can do. So I thought about adding black, make it look a bit more clean and posh ;) try anyway ( bit impossible haha) so I bought a few things to change the look of it. 

            The best purchase of the day, and the best thing in my bathroom now. 

It's this cute handle holder. How perfect does It look? It was a bargain at £5.99 :O  it was white sadly so I managed to find some black spray paint to make it perfect! :) how beautiful. 

Next up a boring product but I thought if add it to the post. 

Yes it's a toilet seat! How exciting and obviously doesn't look very exciting but it was only £9.99 from Argos and its wooden so is so much better then our tacky white plastic one. The room looks better already! 

Randoms things!

I'm going through my bathroom for this blog. I thought I'd take a few pictures and talk about my most loved things in my bathroom. Obviously there will be some boring things! ( but I don't have an exciting life and these things excite me )  

Toothbrush and toothpaste - I did warn things would be boring. But I love my electric toothbrush, and this toothpaste is just the best thing ever! 

Face washes - I'm constantly trying all sort because my skin is so bad but as of yet I haven't found anything that actually does the trick, I think these are slowly but only time will tell. 

Shower gels! - yes I'm a horder of some things as you will see! 

Whoops way to many body butters! It's official I need to stop buying!
