Squeaky Clean Favourites


I have found myself recently jumping in and out of the shower extreme amounts recently due to the increase in temperature so I have found that my shower creams have become one of my most important beauty tools. I have three favourites I am using in rotation: Radox Shower Smoothies, Imperial Leather Foamburst and the Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Skin Cleanser.
Radox Shower Smoothies
I love the Radox Shower Smoothies so much and this has to be one my favourite scents; it’s called Spirit Booster and it contains yoghurt and pomegranate with elderberries”. It actually sounds so delicious and the smell lives up the description as well it leaving your skin feeling not only clean but also lovely and soft. It isn’t a scrub but something in it leaves your skin just feeling lovely and soft which is always a lovely bonus from a shower gel! You can purchase it at most good supermarkets and drugstores and sell for around the £3.00 mark.

Imperial Leather Foamburst
This has to be the most fun I have ever had with a shower gel right here. I remember first getting it a few years ago when it was first released and being so amazed by how much it foams up and after repurchasing it now I am still just as amazed! You only need the smallest amount on your hand it can be used to clean your entire body; the amount I have on my hand here is actually probably a bit too much. So when not on offer it can seem a little pricey for a drugstore shower gel but just me it goes a long way unless you get as excited as I did and end up using loads. It’s also good for those who don’t enjoy really strong smelling shower gels as this one, Japanese Spa, has a very gentle scent; again can be bought from all good supermarkets and drug stores and prices around the £3.50 mark.

Finally this is my treaty shower gel, I got it as part of a gift set for finishing my exams (love you mummy) and I absolutely love it. I was able to smell the pomegranate range when I was last in America and fell in love with it then so when I saw you can get it in the UK I nearly weed myself with excitement. Next time you are around a Crabtree & Evelyn store or counter give it a smell and trust me you will be in love with it as well. It’s an amazing product and leaves me felling super soft, smelling amazing but the only downer is how small my sample bottle is. I think I will cry when it runs out. I am not sure on the price as I did get it from a gift set but I will link it to the Crabtree & Evelyn site if you want to have a little look see.  

What shower time treats have you been loving recently?

Boots Bargain Treats



Like most people I do enjoy a good bargain especially when its beauty products. When I was in Boots the other day I managed to find these beauties in their clearance section and was absolutely ecstatic. Upon questioning why the products were reduced I was told that it was just stock they did not have room for; get in there!

Dr Nick Lowe Purifying Foaming Cleanser: £4.50

I have used this a few times since buying it and so far I am quite impressed with the results, I will do a full review after a longer trail period. I am not really one to buy cheap skin care as to me it’s really important but as it was reduced I thought I would suck up my pride and give it a go.

L’Oreal Paris Code Lumiere BB cream: £1.99

My steal of the day; it was labelled at £3.00 but when I got to the till it only came to £1.99 saving me an extra £1.01 (doesn’t seem a lot but hey, every little helps!) I have been using this quite a lot at the minute as its too hot to wear foundation and so far so good. Does not have the best coverage but for only £1.99 it’ll do for the rest of the hot weather.

Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose: £0.50

I have heard such good things about these lip butters and when I saw they were only 50p I had to buy one (well 2, I got one for my sister as well) and I am in love with them! It leaves my lips so soft and they smell so good, this flavour reminds me of the Oken raspberry yoghurts which I love so that’s also a massive bonus. I actually think I would pay full price for these as they are so amazing, highly recommend them!

This shop came to the total of only £7.49 and left a very happy Hann with a very happy bank balance! The moral of this story is always take a look at the clearance section whenever you are in a shop, you never what you may find.

What bargains have you found recently?
