I Big Puffy Heart Soap and Glory!



I do love me a bit of Soap and Glory. So when browsing the Boots website a couple of weeks ago I was immediately drawn to this little beauty and decided pretty much straight away that I was going to buy one for my friend for Christmas.



So off I totted the following morning to Boots Blanchardstown to pick it up only to find it's not in the Irish Boots gift guide at all. Just in the UK. Insert sad face here. I've been in a couple of Boots branches in Northern Ireland lately and hadn't seen it in stock there either so I pretty resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to be able to get it and that I'd have to get her something else instead. A few days later though, I read a comment on the Beaut.ie Blather about shopping online from Boots, that you can order online from ROI and have it delivered to a UK branch for collection. Brilliant! By this time, I'd talked myself into *needing* this little case too. Even though I still have TONS of S&G goodies from last Christmas' Deal of the Week offer. So set about ordering them for £35 each. Of course it's included in their annual 3 for 2 offer so I got a little No7 set (worth €47) free. Bonus!


So lets have a look shall we? This is... Not Just A Pretty Case is gorgeous. Containing four of their popular products: Clean on Me Shower Gel, The Righteous Butter Body Lotion, Flake Away Body Polish, Glad Hair Day Shampoo and a small hairbrush. Oh and not forgetting the cute little case.


I'm still working through last year's stash but it still didn't stop me picking up (quite a few) this years goodies to top it off I'll be first in line for this years biggie Big Splendour.

Addicted? Moi?!

Pet Hates!

I'm starting off with a mini rant (sorry!) It always baffles me that no matter how many testers are on a cosmetics stand, SOMEONE will ALWAYS open one of the packages on the shelf.


So you can imagine my annoyance when I got home one day last week with a brand new bottle of foundation only to discover that some fecker had already tried/used it ahead of me. Cue another trip into town to return and exchange said product. Thankfully it wasn't a problem - I did worry that maybe the S.A. might think I was trying to pull a fast one but she was lovely.


Yuck!

(Bad) photos taken (totally last minute) on my phone about 5 minutes before being taken back to the shop.

Hello!

Hello and welcome to my new little blog, my bit on the side as it were!

Inspired by many, many other bloggers (waaaay too many to mention right now but soon...) I'm dipping my toe into the world that is beauty blogging. Mainly as I am the owner of many overflowing cupboards full of bottles, tubes, pots of lotions and potions that I just keep on buying and I'm hoping this will be a record of what works and what doesn't so I don't repeat mistakes. Hmm, we'll see...

Starting this was purely a spur of the moment decision so don't really know what I'm at so er, bear with me!!
