Mini Boots Haul

This is basically the first proper couple of things I've bought for ages from Boots. The foundation is actually my mums but it seems really cool so I thought I would mention it - since I plan on reviewing it soon. 
Champneys Foot Butter. My feet are horrendous, so dry and hard and just genuinely not in great shape. I bought this - amazingly scented butter - in hope that it would soften my feet up a bit. The peppermint smell is lovely and I'm really looking forward to  applying this and seeing if it does a good job. I think this was £8, more than I would usually pay for something like this but it smelt too good to resist. 
If I'm being completely honest I don't know why I bought this - its basically the same price as the Liz Earle one and I've never seen this reviewed before - so y'know I thought I would give it a try. At £10.50 I expect good things.
This looks really cool, I applied a little bit on my mums face and it blended in really well. I'll be interested to see if it looks just as good on my mums darker and more yellow toned skin as it does on my pale pink toned skin. I'll keep you posted, for £15.99 this better be amazing!

Have you tried any of these, let me know what you thought of them if you have.

How Much Is Your Face Worth | TAG

I've seen this TAG floating around for quite awhile, and I love reading a lot of them and found them really interesting as you get to see how much people spend on their make-up and what it is they use on a daily basis. It kind of doubles up as a daily make-up post.

Base

No7 Airbrush Away Primer Full Size £19.50 \\ Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum £10.99 \\ Seventeen Phwoarr Paint £5.49 \\ Soap and Glory One Heck Of A Blot Powder £12

= £47.98

Eyes

Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer Full Size £15 \\ Urban Decay Naked Palette £37 Shades Virgin, Naked and Hustle \\ YSL Babydoll Mascara £21 \\ Lord and Berry Brow Pencil £10 \\ Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl £5

= £88

Cheeks

Illamasqua Blush Lover £18 \\ NARS Laguna Bronzer £27

= £45

Lips

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm £9.50 \\ Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Romantic £7.99

= £17.49

Total = 198.47

Thats a bit crazy... Almost £200 worth of make-up goes on my face every day! All the products I've put down are the ones I've been using basically every single day recently, its a routine that I've been really enjoying and will continue to do.

Theres a couple of girls that I'd love to see do this - Zoe, RenaCharlotte and Ella, if you lovely ladies haven't done this then I've love to see what you write!

No7 Beautiful Skin Cleaning Brush

I've been wanting to get a Clarisonic for awhile, but couldn't justify the £100+ price tag that came with it. Over a hundred pounds to wash my face?! WHAT THE HECK? Not going to lie, if I had the money for it I would go and buy myself one. But alas I don't have that kind of moolah. There is now, however, an alternative to the Clarisonic! 
The lovely people from No7 have brought out their very own version and I am so super duper happy. This cleansing brush is amazing. It gives such a deep clean and after using it I feel that my skin is as soft as a babies bum. And who doesn't want to have a face that feels as soft as a baby? 
 This little battery powered cleaner has two different speed settings, to give an even deeper clean. You can use this with any facial wash. However, some face washes work better with this than others. Washes that foam up more than others I feel are the best ones to use, or at least that is how I feel.
 The brushes are cheap to replace as they only cost £8 for 2 brushes. You are supposed to change the brush every 3-4 months, I've had mine for a little while but I've not used it very often so may not change it as soon as 4 months.
The only downside to this, I would say, is that it isn't waterproof. I have to be really careful with this when I use it since I can't just shove it in the water. This does make cleaning the brush after ward a little tricky.
I wouldn't say that it is a HUGE downfall to the product. And since the price is so good can we really complain? The cleansing brush is £24. 95 to buy from boots, and this is just a fraction of the price of the Clarisonic. If your wanting the Clarisonic, I would suggest you give the No7 one a go first.
