Hi there! Some of you may remember that I used to buy toiletries, skin care and make-up in bulk. But I’ve stopped doing that a few months ago. Since then my approach to shopping has been 3 out / 1 in, which is going surprisingly well, so I’m sticking to this approch until (at least) the end of the year. 🙂 OK, I haven’t done much shopping lately, and because of that I’ve built up some “shopping credit”. So I decided to treat myself to a few new products. Now let me show you what I bought!
I found this Baylis & Harding Beauticology Donut Shop gift set at my local Asda store. It was £6 and it contains the following full size products: Blueberry Glaze Donut Shower Crème, Frosted Sprinkles Bath Soak Crystals, Vanilla Sugar Donut Body Butter. Yummy!
I also found lots of cute trainer socks at Primark. I bought a set of 3 pairs of Pokémon socks…
… and a set of 3 pairs of Care Bears socks. No, clothes and accessories have nothing to do with the 3 out / 1 in policy / approach / thing. However, I still wanted to show you that I bought these super cute trainer socks. 🙂 OK, now let’s get back to the toiletries and the beauty products that I picked up from Boots and Superdrug!
I bought 2 Carex shower gels. Carex used to do hand soaps and hand gels only, but they’ve recently launched shower and bath products too. These Carex shower gels were £1 each (special offer, Boots). I also bought 3 Boots Extracts Body Sprays – 2 mango sprays and 1 vanilla spray. These sprays are £3.50 each, but Boots ran a 3 for 2 promo, so I spent £7 in total for these 3 fantastic body sprays.
I found this super cute Caolion O2 Sparkling Purifying Soap by accident. I wasn’t looking for it. I didn’t need it. But it was £4 (Boots) and it looked cute… I wanted it, and I bought it! I also bought 3 more B. Confident Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritzes. They’re normally £7.95 each, but they were on special (half price), so they were £3.95 each. However, Superdrug also ran a 3 for 2 promo on selected skin care products, so I paid £7.90 in total for these 3 body spritzes. Fantastic value!
I bought 3 more items from Boots’ Essentials collection – a Cucumber Facial Scrub, a Cucumber Facial Toner and a Cucumber 3-Minute Clay Mask. I’m really looking forward to testing these products!
I also bought several Carex Bubble Gum hand washes (Superdrug, 89p each) and several Carex Bubble Gum hand gels (£1 each, Boots). But these products are essentials, so I always stock up when they’re on special. 🙂
Any comments on my beauty and cutie haul? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for reading! 🙂
Those socks are so cute 😍 I never seem to see the good socks at Primark when I go. The Boots cucumber range used to be great but I haven’t seen it for a while, I thought they’d discontinued it.

At Primark the cute socks sell out quickly.
I’e never tried anything from Boots’ cucumber range. I actually thought it’s a new collection that is meant to compete with one of Superdrug’s cheap own brands.

Maybe it’s a different range than I used to have before then, I’m sure it used to be one of the ones in the basic looking bottles. I had a moisturiser and a cleanser that was like a makeup remover. It was probably ten years ago now I think about it, I didn’t realise it was so long ago! The one I used could definitely have been discontinued and a new release since then.

I’m sorry for the late reply. The past few days have been mad!
I don’t know if this Boots collection is new or old – I just never saw it before so I thought it might be new. Ah well, who knows…

Great haul. The socks are super cute. The Beauticology set sounds good enough to eat☺ I love Boots cucumber range. My fave is the eye gel they do xx

I was thinking about buying the eye gel, but I have quite a few eye creams and gels, so I didn’t really need another one. But thanks for letting me know the cucumber eye gel is a good product. I will probably pick it up next time. xo

I continue to love the idea of the shopping credit! It must feel like you’ve earned these items from using up so many!
Hmm that donut shop set must smell amazing – the Vanilla Sugar Donut Body Butter is especially appealing to me!
OMG. the Care Bear socks! I’d wear those for bed, personally. Do you wear socks to bed? I do! My feet get so cold – plus I like to put cream on my feet and the socks seals the moisture in.
You scored such great deals at Boots – I’m always envious of the 3 for 2 promos.
You scored a great price on that Caolion O2 Sparkling Purifying Soap – I looked it up (because it looks so cute) and it sells for $16USD regularly.
Hmm I really like cucumber scents especially in the warmer months. The Cucumber 3-Minute Clay Mask looks intriguing – I hope you’ll like the collection.

The Vanilla Sugar Donut Body Butter was the product that made me buy the set! 🙂
Yes, I do wear socks to bed. For the same reasons – I too get cold feet, even on warm summer days. And I too prefer to wear socks after I’ve slathered my feet in body butter. 🙂
I think that Caolion soap wasn’t even on special. I could be wrong though!

Those socks are adorable!
I’ve got the boots cucumber toner – I’ve found it way too strong for me, just the fumes near my face makes my eyes watery and sore. I’ve just given up using it. Be interested to hear how you get on with it!

I’ll be careful with the toner then. At the moment I have other skin care products to finish, but I hope it won’t take too long. 🙂
