My Latest Haul :)

Hello bloggies!! I would first like to say a big thank you to all my lovely readers who have stuck by me despite my distinct lack of pennies lately and therefore my distinct lack of reviews!! Secondly I would like to say that the other day I treated myself to a few bits (yey!) and would like to share my treasures with you all!!
First up is these little beauties, currently on offer at Superdrug, 2 for £4.99. I've been desperate to try this 'instant oomph powder' since i first saw it reviewed on a blog about a month ago. I really wish I could remember who's review it was so I could credit them for introducing me to this beautiful find. My hair is thick but definitely lacks OOMPH, particularly at the top near my roots (and my rather flat side fringe) and this wonderful creation solves that problem in seconds. I shall be sure to add some before and after shots in a separate post to demonstrate the brilliance :)
Next up is a selection of products to pamper my poor neglected feet. The 'Cracked Heel Repair Cream' and the 'Intensive Revitalising Foot Spray' were both on a 2 for £4.99 offer which saved me almost four pounds in total. They both smell fresh and minty, which was a huge hit with my cat who decided to give my toes a good old lick after I'd applied the repair cream!! The foot file was £4.99, it's not brilliant and isn't my first choice of foot file but it'll do the trick until I can splash out on something a little pricier that I've tried, tested and fell in love with (my little secret for now!!) 
Next we have a highly recommended eye primer from everyone's new favourite brand MUA. For some reason I couldn't get this on the website, and my local Superdrug is shit, but I trotted further afield and finally found it! Woohoo! I felt that this little product was a MUST HAVE, for reasons that shall be revealed...
...NOW!! TAA-DAAAA! How beautiful is my new baby? Not only is she full of various shades of pearl/matte eyeshadows just waiting to be played with...she was totally free! Yep, you heard. Currently MUA will send you this Immaculate Collection Eyeshadow Palette (worth £8) if you spend eight pounds on their website. That was one offer I just could not refuse. To make up the eight pounds I got another Heaven and Earth Palette (I love it that much!) and my highly coveted GOING FOR GOLD LIMITED EDITION OLYMPIC INSPIRED PAN OF GLITTERY WINNING GOODNESS.
As you can tell I was just a little bit excited :)
Have you taken advantage of any good offers lately? What were they?

Ps - Did you think I'd sign off without proof of my cat doing his own product review?! ;)

I'm rubbish with titles.

On Monday I picked up these little goodies from Aldi, as I have heard a lot of good things about their Lacura range and at about £1.50 per product they were a steal! Everyone laughed because the cream is 'anti-wrinkle' but surely waiting until I've actually got the wrinkles to use the product would defeat the object?! Anyway I have used it for the past couple of nights and I am pleased so far. It's got a thin texture but isn't oily and greasy, and it kinda smells like old ladies and soap - but not in an entirely unpleasant way haha! The eye cream doesn't seem to have a scent to it, but you only need the smallest amount for each eye and it's dispensed through a tiny nozzle which means I can't get right in and have a sniff unfortunately. Have you ever tried Aldi's Lacura range? What did you think?
The last glossybox of my subscription arrived last week. Again, it was a bit hit and miss, and I've decided not to renew and try a different beauty box instead. I may review a couple of the products in the box as and when I try them, but from what I've read from other blogs my opinions are pretty much widely shared.
It's been so hot the past couple of weeks and I've been totally paranoid that my deodorant won't do it's job properly!! So I picked up this body spray on offer in Asda for £1 and it smells wonderful, although I must admit it was the packaging that made me go for it in the first place!
On a kind of unrelated note, a week or so ago I won a Facebook competition to win a copy of the latest novel by Guillaume Musso...and I won! I don't think I've ever won anything before haha! I'm looking forward to reading it :)
