This week was a momentous moment in any new Boots employee's life… Double Discount Day, the day on which our 11.5% on non-boots brands and 22.5% on boots own ranges discount is doubled, meaning huge savings and a chance to build up those all important Boots points. And what do points make…? Prizes!

I accumulated a huge pile of ‘must haves’ in my basket and I am a little ashamed to say I spent £70 in one go, although to reassure myself, I did buy my sister things and a few uber-early Christmas presents too! The huge basket was originally priced at £99 so there was a huge saving of £29, not so bad when you think of it like that!

I let my self go a little crazy on the makeup front, but hey its only once a year! I picked up a few of the goodies I'd been lusting after for yonks now and after acumalating a few more precious points I treated myself to Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten, which at £13 a pop isn't something I would usually spend my dosh on.

Another favourite buy was the Revlon lipstick in Smoked Peach, a beautiful beautiful dark coral, peach, warm toned colour which so perfect for autumn as darker lips become a must have.

I also picked up the much raved about John Freida Go Blonder Lightening Spray, after much wondering of what colour it will turn my dark blonde/light brown hair and I will possibly be trying out a kind of ombre effect with this if it goes well! Another purchase was the Seche Vite Top Coat, a much needed item in my life!

After all this spending rest assured there will not be any more ‘haul’ type post for a good few months (fingers crossed!) as my mother simply wont allow it!

Have a good week! ♥

  5. That Stila Smudge Pot looks gorgeous. I may have to go and look for one myself. Sounds like working at Boots has some awesome benefits.

  12. Thankyou for posting this! Iv only used it about 5 times and it has definitely made me more blonde, but my hair is a bit dry! A hairdresser i know also said it wasnt the best product for the health of my hair so iv stopped using it, but i do love the effect! xxx

  13. Be careful with the Sheer Blonde Go Blonder, I used it before and it made my hair really dry. When I went to the hair dresser and told them I used it pretty much every time I washed my hair he actually gasped in horror lol :) I didnt even think about it but you're actually putting peroxide in your hair and then leaving it in for 1 or 2 days, no wonder its bad for it :)
