Seriously how lush is this colour! It is so lovely how it catches the light. It is part of the Models Own Beetle Juice collection and is called Purple Blue. Models own polishes retail from £5 and are avaliable online and in Boots stores.
So as you know I brought some lovely new boots on Saturday when I into town but I also nipped into boots. Their lovely 3 for 2 offer is back and I couldnt resist picking up a few bits that I have had my eye on.
Philips Sonicare Toothbrush - £49.99 (reduced from £121.99)
Rimmel Eye Liner Pencils in Nude, Jungle Green and Purple - £2.99 & £3.99
Models Own Nail Polish in Snowflake (Wonderland Collection), Blizzard (Wonderland Collection) and Purple Blue (Beetle Juice Collection) - £5
My toothbrush has been due an upgrade for a while but I hadn't got round to finding one. I saw one in the Boots Christmas catalog - a Colgate one that I had my eye on and actually wanted when I went into Boots but i changed my mind when I noticed that my local boots store did not stock the heads to it. However I noticed that they had the Philips Sonicare toothbrush on an amazing offer. It was over 50% off and in my view anything which was sold at £121.99 must be pretty darn good, and I have heard fab things about it. I will do a proper review but I am loving it.
I also picked up some Rimmel pencils which were part of the 3 for 2 - I got one of the new shades - the nude one which I have been wearing on my waterline that makes my eyes look brighter, a purple one and a jungle green one. I also picked up 2 of the new wonderland collection from Models Own which are lovely (again it I will do seperate reviews) and a purple blue one from the Beetle Juice collection. Keep you eye out for that in tomorrows NOTD.
Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer back in Boots?
I have been on the search for a new pair of boots which I could wear for everyday for a while now however my chunky legs usually leave me sad and depressed when trying to find any. I popped into New Look on Saturday with my mum and I fell in love with a pair. I wasnt hopeful as I tried them on, especially when I saw they were pull on with no zip. However no only did they go up my leg, they didnt look bad!
I have only worn them a couple of times but I am in love already! I cant wait to wear them with some chunky autumn winter stuff or some thick coloured tights :)
As I said they were from New Look and they were a total bargain at £24.99. They do them in brown too which were really nice but I dont really wear a lot of brown and went with the old cliche that black goes with everything!
So if you are following me on Instagram you may have seen my excitement at the weekend when my mum brought home the Boots Christmas catalogue! I dont know why but I get so excited for the Boots Christmas catalogue... its not that it makes me feel particularly christmassy (it is after all only October) but I love looking through what they are going to have...
Having a look through the catalogue there is some lovely stuff, I dont think this catalogue excites me as much as other years but there is some lovely stuff - In particularly there seem to be a lot of make up brush sets which is typical because my mum had loads of trouble finding an affordable make up brush set last year when I asked Santa for one.
So here are my top things which I am loving at first glance in this years Boots collection.

So here are my top things which I am loving at first glance in this years Boots collection.
1. No 7 The Essential Accessory Case - £35 - I have actually seen this in store and the size is deceptive online. I thought it may be big enough for holding all my makeup but is more of a Brush etc store. Comes with some accessories such as brushes.
2. 17 Lip Crayons - £10 - Set of 4 lip crayons in varying shades of pinks and nautrals
3. Soap and Glory Leap of Face - £20 - Contains Peaches And Clean Deep Cleansing Milk, For Daily Youth 6-In-1
Moisture Lotion, Mighty Mouth Extreme Hydrating and Super Glossy Lip
Balm - plus buffing mitt and headband. I love soap and glory products so this one is definitely on my Santa list.
4. Baylis and Harding Gingerbread Indulgence Box- £8 - Contains a Chocolate Chip Shower Crème, Sweet Gingerbread Body Wash, Vanilla Body Lotion. This caught my eye because of the Gingerbread body wash. They do lots of little sets with this in all under around £12. Some are as little as £4 and would be a lovely little present or stocking filler.
5. Mark Hill Girls night in a bag - £22.00 - I had some Mark Hill a few years ago in one of the smaller sets for Christmas and liked it. This set contains Defrizz-ilicious Slick Chick De-Frizz Shampoo, Defrizz-ilicious Smoothly Does It De-Frizz Conditioner, Colour Hydration Bomb Intensive Treatment and Get Gorgeous No Knots! Detangling Spray as well as a comb and clips.
6. Soap and Glory the best of all - £60 - If you have been following my blog from the start you will know how much I love this box. It contains lots of soap and glory favorites including the Hand Food, Sugar Scrub, Thick and Fast Mascara and the Sexy mother pucker lip gloss. It is usually on the offer of the week the week before christmas and I am always on the boots website at the crack of dawn on the Friday as soon as it is announced putting my order in. In 2010 i think the box was £20 and in 2011 it was £25 (i think) you save massively on the retail price. I have for the last 2 years brought 3 (me and mum got them between us) and stocked up on our favorite products for the year!
7. No 7 Vanity Case - £45 - Lovely case containing some No7 makeup including 6 x Eye Shadows in various shades, Limited Edition Lip Gloss, Bronzing Duo, Mini Black Intense Volume Mascara nand some cosmetics brushes. I am eying this up for storing my make up in but the price is a little off putting (am hoping this will appear on offer of the week too)
So those are my favorites from Boots. Obviously there is lots of break downs, Things for Men etc and between now and Christmas I am going to do a breakdown of my favorite things for different people. Also stay tuned for my favorites from other top stores - including Superdrugs :)
I thought I would share with you the latest addition to my handbag collection. I was getting a bit bored of the bag I was using and it felt a little small (for all the crap I like to carry round in my handbag) so I fancied a change and a new bag. I have had my eyes open for weeks to see if I could get a new bag but hadnt found anything I really liked. I wondered if I was being too fussy. I needed it to fit my Samsung Galaxy Tablet in as I take this to work to read on. I love satchel style bags and like ones that have long straps. Surely this can not be so hard.
And then on a girly trip to town I found itttttttttttt...
Isnt it pretty! This bag is called the Faux Snake Trim Satchel and is available in store and online here at Topshop for £34.
I am so in love with this bag. It fits everything in which I want including my mac which rolls up. I will do another Whats in my bag post at some point because I haven't done one for probably 12 months. So keep your peepers peeled for that!
