Boots Star Gift

I think these posts are fast becoming my favourite, because every Thursday I look forward with anticipation to see what amazing gift set Boots have for us!
This week again they give us another great product for a fantastic prize, this time in the form of skincare.
Enter Champney's Complete Home Spa!

For anyone that's not aware, Champney's is actually a spa in the UK, well its a range of spa's really in different countryside locations across the country. I didn't know until last year that they actually sold there range in Boots, but I guess you learn something new every day!
Anyway, this particular set is made up of 7 spa quality products, so everyday for us can be a spa day, but from the comfort of our own homes.
It contains:

• Distant Shores Body Scrub: (50g)
• Citrus Blush Shower Gel:    (200ml)
• Citrus Blush Body Lotion:   (200ml)
• Skin Comforting Bath Milk: (300ml)
• Distant Shores Body Butter: (50ml)
• Hand And Nail Cream:        (40ml:
• Body Polisher

It comes in a hard case which can be easily wiped clean, good news all round!

The price of course has to be the best part! Down from 64.50 to 30.00! 

For the quality of these products, this is an absolute bargain, and would make an ideal present for a mother, or mother in law, or even just yourself! (I tend to self gift a lot)

So if your after this you better hurry because it's only there for a week, although I think this one may sell out before that!

Boots Star Gift

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll all be aware of the 'Star Gift' concept Boots launched in recent years. If you have been living under a rock and have only just crawled out and are wondering what the hell I'm talking about, in the lead up to Christmas, Boots take a gift set from a well known brand, sometimes perfume, sometimes body care or make up, and they slash the price of it! Its usually at least 50 percent off, sometimes more. They then leave this set on offer for a week, and its changed up every week then in the run up to Christmas. Now as far as I was aware this usually begun the 1st week of December, but this year it seems to have started earlier!
So what's this weeks you may ask? Well here it is!

                                              Its this beauty from Ted Baker!
'The Great & The Gorgeous' is a gorgeous set jam packed with 11 products that beauty junkies are sure to love, and it also contains 4 brushes!
Its made up of:
                      Bronzer,
                      2 Lip Crayons,
                      Eye Liner Pen,
                      2 Eye Creams,
                      Eye Glitter,
                      2 Nail Varnishes,
                      Pink Illuminating Liquid,
                      Gold Illuminating Liquid.


This is a great gift idea for any age, and I know for a fact I would love to open this on Christmas Day! Its a bargainous price this week at 25 euro, down from 52 euro! These offers run from Thursday to Thursday, so if you do see something you like you'll have to be quick to snap them up!

Happy shopping!

My new favourite under eye concealer!

In recent weeks I've noticed my under eye 'bags' have become more prominent, and dark circles seem to be constant. My grandfather passed away a month ago, so a lack of sleep and long days and nights spent in the hospital took its toll. But since then no matter how hard I've tried to get to bed earlier, no matter how thick the concealer I've used, my dark circles seem to remain. My most recent attempt at concealing them was using a Prai under eye corrector, and the Maybelline Fit Me concealer. But not even such an expensive product as the Prai one worked! I was beginning to get paranoid, (even though I wear glasses, so they're probably not even that noticeable to others) until I recently went into the pharmacy near where I work and picked up this little ray of sunshine!

Every beauty blogger and their mother has heard of this concealer, and any of the ones I've seen talking about it has been singing its praises from the rooftops! But I couldn't justify buying more make up, especially when I have two or three other concealers on the go at the moment! Until now that is, and boy am I glad that I did! This is the Eraser Eye concealer, which has instant anti-age properties, and which also contains goji berry, which I assume has some brightening/and or cooling properties also. Now I wouldn't be too concerned with the whole anti-age part, mainly because I'm only 25, but then again, prevention is better than cure and all that jazz! But the product itself is amazing! I don't think I've bought something that I've really loved as soon as I've tried it for the first time. The product is dispensed through a sponge at the top, after you twist the lid to the left before use. Probably not the most hygienic method, but I suppose seen as only myself will be using it it won't be too much of an issue! The product itself is definitely by far the best concealer I've ever used, and you can instantly see a difference in the under eye area. My under eyes were much brighter, and a lot of the puffiness was gone straight away! I picked up the colour light which was the perfect match for me. It is available in Nude also, so I would assume this would be for people with more sallow or darker skin. Its around 11 euro for 6mls of product, which to me isn't the cheapest, but I wouldn't mind paying it again if it continues to do its job!
