Hey guys!

So today mum had a hospital appointment and because we had a few hours to kill, I thought, why not pop into Boots and look at the sale stuff since Boots is only 10 minutes down the road from the hospital. I was already aware there was a 70% sale but I'd already began thinking I'd walk out there empty handed as all of the good stuff would have been gone already, but I was wrong! I got some absolute steals today!

I thought it would have been safer to go into a shop aswell instead of online as everything would have sold out instantly anyways.
Admittedly, the shelves were almost empty except from the 7 different perfume gift sets, couple of make up palettes and some random bits, gutted that there was no Soap & Glory, but oh well!



Lady Gaga Fame 30ml Perfume Gift Set - Was £24.50, reduced to £7.35.
I'd been wanting this perfume set for a super long time, I adore Gaga but just wasn't convinced I liked the scent everytime I sampled it, it takes a while to settle on your skin and after about 5 minutes, the gorgeous scent starts to seep through and for £7.35, you can't go wrong. (For some reason the gift set isn't on the Boots website, how strange.)
Set contains: 30ml Black Fluid Eau De Parfum & 200ml Black Shower Gel.


Salonniere Beauty Body Trio by Jenny Packham - Was £16, reduced to £4.80.
Mum was the one that bought this one, potential birthday/Christmas present for someone in the family.
The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, oh my goodness.
Set contains: 250ml Body Shimmer, 150ml Body Wash and 150ml Body Polish.


Mini Fragrances for Her - Was £15, reduced to £4.50.
Bought this one for my sister, she's not usually one for wearing perfume, but instead of getting her a perfume that she doesn't like, she has the freedom to try out 4 new ones.
Set contains: 5ml Moschino Pink Bouquet, 10ml Ghost Deep Night, 10ml Lipsy London, 5ml Ted Baker Sweet Treat Polly.


Long Personalised Hanging Calendar - Was £10, reduced to £3.
Again, this was bought for my sister as she wanted a Florence & The Machine calendar (which are impossible to find btw), so got her this so she can pick the photos herself and what not.


Personalised Photo 2014 Organizer - Was £10, reduced to £3.
Mum bought this for herself as she needed a diary for 2014 and she's an organized freak, hahaha.


Be Enchanted Starlight Shadows Colour Palette - Was £12, reduced to £3.60.
HOLY CRAP WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT PACKAGING OH MY GOODNESS. One pet peeve, it opens and closes like a book, no magnetic opening, nothing, so I'm going to get a piece of elastic and stick it to the back of the palette so eyeshadow doesn't get everywhere. The colours are very fairytaley.
Palette contains: 9x eyeshadows 9g, 4x lip glosses 2.8g, 3x brush applicators.


Gorjuss Pencil Case - Was £7, reduced to £2.10.
£7 FOR A PENCIL CASE?! HOW RIDICULOUS. But it is cute. Bought this for Hannah as she's been wanting something from Gorjuss for ages and this is the cheapest thing we've found, hahaha.

The total came to £28.85 and the total amount of money I saved was £67.56, yey!

Well that's it for this haul, I hope you enjoyed!
Let me know if you hit up the Boots sale and let me know what products you got!

That's all for now,

Hi guys!
Here's the second installment of my 'guide to christmas' segment of my blog. A lot of these products will be based around gift sets and then any other novelty gifts I've found that I think are cute.


1. Eyeshadow Palette by NYX Cosmetics (here) - £25.
Such a large eyeshadow palette for such a great price! It contains 68 eyeshadows, 4 face colours and 8 sponge applicators. And because it's NYX, you can guarantee it's going to be good quality. Perfect for anybody that's a NYX fan or starting out with make up.

2. Christmas Candy Box Gift Set by Lush (here) - £19.95.
This is the cutest little gift box. It's perfect for any girl that loves Lush products (the majority of all girls, haha!) It contains Snow Fairy Shower Gel, Candy Moutain bubble bar, Rock Star soap and Popcorn lip scrub. Can I just say, this is possible the cutest box I've ever seen okay.

3. Killer Queen by Katy Perry 30ml Gift Set (here) - £22.50.
Killer Queen is Katy Perry's new fragrance, and Katy Perry's perfumes are some of the nicest scents everrrr. It comes cutely packaged in a bright red box and contains the Killer Queen Eau de Parfum 30ml, Body Lotion 75ml and Shower Gel 75ml. It's a mixture of a fruity and floral scent, perfect for any Katycat.

4. Starbucks Christmas Blend and Coffee Press Set (here) - £24.20.
This the perfect pairing for any coffee lover. 8-cup Chambord Coffee Press and Spicy-Sweet Starbucks Christmas blend whole bean coffee. Great value for money.

5. How To Look The Best At Everything Gift Set by Benefit (here) - £22.95.
Great for make up lovers and a useful little kit (I may snap this one up myself actually.)
Contains: The Porefessional, Boi-ing in two shades, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow, Hello Flawless Powder cover-up and power brush in a cute little mirrored book shaped box.

6. The Relaxstation by Soap and Glory (here) - £20.
This is one of the best gift sets in this post if I'm being honest. One, it's so cheap it's unbelievable. Two, absolutely great products. Three, the packaging, holy moley. Contains full size: The Scrub of Your Life and Clean On Me shower gel. Contains mini sizes: Hand Food, Heel Genius and The Righteous Butter. Also comes with a shower-puff and a hair turban.

7. Everyday Class 12 Votive Candle Pack Gift Set by Yankee Candle (here) - £17.99.
Perfect for people that just loooove to burn candles any time of the year. Be warned, these aren't the seasonal ones so if you're after seasonal candles, this isn't the gift set to buy somebody. Whole pack gives 180 hours of fragrance when burning.
Two of each scent: Fresh Cut Roses, Midnight Jasmine, Beach Flowers, Lilac Blossom, French Lavendar and White Gardenia.

8. Netflix 3 month Gift Card (here) - £17.97.
Want to convert your friends into fellow movie obsessed freaks? This is the perfect gift for somebody who isn't quite converted after the free trial.

9. Disney Mugs (here) - £6 each.
If you know somebody who's obsessed with Disney and homeware, well this is the perfect gift. The majority of the mugs from the Disney Store are £6 each (okay quite expensive for a mug but it's Disney, they have an excuse for the expensiveness.)
The 3D ones are great as they're the exact same price as the normal mugs, how strange.

10. Blossom Bath & Body Gift Set by Cath Kidston (here) - £12.
Cutest little gift set for somebody that's already a Cath Kidston fan or somebody that's into nice smelly, pretty looking things. (Let's all admit, Cath Kidston takes 1st prize for best packaging.)
This is only a travel set though so I'm not sure whether any of these products are full size, but nevertheless, great gift set!
Contains: Blossom shower gel, body lotion, bath crystals and soap.

Well I hope you enjoyed this post! I spent the majority of today trawling through the interwebs to find these, haha!
That's all for now,
Rachel. xo

I'm going to apologise for the awful layout now because I'm currently typing this up from my phone as I have no motivation to go downstairs and get my laptop charger, haha!

So basically this post is just going to be a ramble. I've decided I'm going to drop out of college come January, I just can't keep up with the workload and my anxiety is stopping me from leaving the house so it's so hard for me to stay on a bus for an hour and a half to get to college without having a panic attack. Hopefully I can find a job to tide me over until I start college again in September.

I have lots of exciting things arriving in the post today! So you know that tartan dress from Pink Clove that I've been raving about? Well, I may have ordered that on Friday night and it's due to be delivered today (yey!) Along with that I have a black blazer arriving, a new 26 inch television to go in my room as my 15 inch telly just isn't doing the job when it comes to gaming, it's putting strain on my eyes (my eyesight isn't great anyway) so, new telly! In the next couple of weeks I should also have a video game haul post up soon (if you're into that kind of thing) if CEX can get their arses into gear and sort out my £60 voucher which they supposedly emailed me on the 4th of November, um I think not. I'm going to order Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Lego Lord of The Rings and Catz 2. Bioshock and Bioshock 2 are the only Xbox games, all the others are Nintendo DS games. I may have also sneakily put Tangled, Aladdin (Musical Masterpiece Edition) and The Shining dvd's into my basket also, so expect a haul very soon! 

How have you guys been? It'd be lovely to hear from you!

Again, sorry for the awful layout (stupid iPhone app).

That's all for now!
