A little Boots haul

Direct clickable links to the items above are the words in pink in case you wanted to check them out for yourself.!

1. Olay day lotion £6.86 - Boots
I really like this lotion on my combination skin. It's oil free, doesn't feel greasy and is nice and light on my skin which is good for my oily t-zone and large pores. It's also fragrance free and has SPF 15. I've been using this for a while and repurchased it the other week as it doesn't cause my sensitive skin to breakout.

2. Good things miracle mattifier moisturiser £7.99 - Boots
I was recommended this product by quite a lot of you on twitter (possibly by @amy antoinette)  when I asked what is a good moisturiser for oily, combination and dehydrated skin. I'm glad I asked.. I use this on my more oily skin days. It smells absolutely delicious and really does a great job of making my oily t-zone and forehead a lot less oily without drying my skin! I feel it leaves my skin feeling really balanced.

3. Peaches and clean  deep cleaning milk by soap & glory £7.00  - Boots
I was a little bit wary of having oily skin and using a creamy cleanser on my skin.. I'm usually one of those people who never gets the hype and I don't usually get the wow factor with a product often. This changed with this cleansing milk wow..after one use my skin looked squeaky clean, fresh, smooth and so soft I couldn't stop looking in the mirror or touching my face. It also smells good enough to eat..

4. Good things bright eyes eye cream £5.99 - Boots
I picked this eye cream up after being impressed with their moisturiser.  For the price I really love this eye cream, I use it day and night. It's really cooling and refreshing on my eyes. I didn't notice a major difference to my dark circles but I usually have to use a shed load (technical term) of concealer most days anyways! It smells lovely, sinks in quickly and is anti wrinkle yes I'm only 22 but I'd rather start early!

5. Rose otto intensive lip salve - Balance me*
Okay so I know this shouldn't be included in a Boots haul but I've been loving it so much I couldn't not share it with you. I have horrendously chapped lips all year round I received this in a lovely gift box that was sent to me. I'm not usually a huge fan of rose scented products but I'm willing to overlook this as this has seriously solved my chapped lip problems (I even reach for this over my Nuxe lip balm) my lips are soft, it isn't a sticky lip balm I like the tube applicator. If you have stubborn dry lips seriously this is so worth it. I'm going to see if they have any other flavours because I will be stocking up on this stuff!

6. Blueberry gelly hi-shine nail paint by Barry M - Boots
I first tried out this range just before christmas when I bought their red gelly polish. I was really impressed with the staying power of this nail polish! As much as I love Essie's shade range I find it chips on my nails after 1-2 days but not this stuff! So I couldn't resist picking up Blueberry. 2 quick and easy coats and my nails look perfect and so, so shiny. I can't stop looking at my nails and I know the next time I'm in Boots I will almost definitely come home with a few more of these.

  7. I've used Good Things products before and liked them but not this one, I might try it when I next need moisturiser. And I currently use the Peaches and Clean cleanser, isn't it amazing? Even on oily skin! Great post :)

  37. I am still yet to try the Barry M gelly nails but they look pretty good. Agree about the lip balm - I got this free with a mag or in a glossy box, or something anyway and its a nifty little balm!
