Boots Purchases - Essentials July 28th 2014

So today I popped to boots which, as normal, turned into leaving using one of their biggest bags that they provide!

I seem to have run out of my essentials all in one go this week so I went in to pick up my essentials.

Simple Oil Balancing Face Wipes

I always use the Simple brand. I use it for exfoliatition products and I have used these oil balancing facewipes for as long as I can remember. I did hear that these aren't particularly great for your akin but I am pretty lazy when it comes to skin care so I will be sticking with these! They always remove all my make up and are very gentle on my skin. Currently they have a deal in boots for 3 packs for £5. Obviously I bought 3 packs!

Radox Shower Cream

I'm not too picky on shower gel products. As long as it smells good, I'm sold! I love Radox products and I have been using the chamomile and jojoba oil shower cream for quite some time now. At 99p I really can't complain. The handy hook is always a bonus too.

Dove Deoderant 

My friend introduced me to the boots maximum protection deodorant cream about two years ago and I haven't looked back. It is a little pricey at just over £5.00 but it lasts all day and is so moisturising. Once I have let it dry, I never have a problem with marks. I have tried another fragrance of this product but I wasn't too keen, I will be sticking with 'original clean'. I like my under arms to smell like soap rather than some funky fruit! The box states 48 hour antiperspirant which I do usually find, but currently with these heat we have been having in the UK, I have been applying a miniature spray deodorant I have later in the afternoon, still by dove of course! It does say that it can last even after a shower...I wouldn't be so convinced about that!

St Tropez Gradual Tanner

I have a huge addiction to self tanning. I just cannot resist and can't stand being pale! I used to use the regular st tropez self tanner, but I used to find that it was too harsh on my skin in the sense that it was too obvious. It wasn't blending particularly well so I switched to the gradual tan which is seeming to work a lot better on my skin tone. It builds so much more natural which I love. I apply it nearly every day in the evening and keep well moisturised. I do still struggle...even after all of these years...to get it right around my feet! So if anyone has any tips for tanning around your feet and ankles...please let me know!

Hair Grips and Hair Bands

I am forever purchasing hair grips. I do have a little pot that they live in but they still manage to go missing every day! It's the same with hair bands! These hair bands are great, they never stretch too much and the elastic doesn't come out like some. These are also metal free which is great as I heard metal in hair bands is bad for your hair!

All in all, a great few essentials from boots!
