Post Christmas Sales Beauty Haul

A shop I always pop into during their sale is Boots. They do a fantastic 3 for 2 offer before Christmas, and then on Boxing day, the gifts become half price, with premium beauty gifts reduced by a third. This is a great deal and you can really pick up some bargains. I used boots.com to place my order, with the online sale starting two days earlier than stores, on December 24th. 

The first gift set I snatched up was Calvin Klein's 'Euphoria.' This is such a sexy, feminine scent and one I haven't worn for a couple of years. I used to wear it religiously and always recieved so many compliments when I did. The gift set contains the 30ml EDP perfume and the matching 100ml body lotion. I managed to pick this up for £23, a steal. 

The next gift set I grabbed was 'Powder Trip' by Soap And Glory. This contains 3 of their powder products to bronze, brighten and luminize, as it contains a blusher, bronzer and a highlighter, as well as a mini brush. I haven't tried to much of the Soap And Glory make up line and I thought this would be a great introduction to their powder products. I'm excited to give these ago, especially with New Years around the corner. The packaging for this set isn't great for travelling, but it does contain a mirror, making it easy to use at home. This set was reduced to £10.

I also treated myself to Lancome's 'Doll Eyes' set. I have only ever tried thier Hypnose mascara, which was great, but the Doll Eyes one is raved about. The set comes with a mini eyeliner (Le Crayon Kohl) in 01 Noir, as well as the 'Bi-Facil' eye make up remover, which I have also never tried. This set was a bargain at just over £14.

I always try and snap up hair care sets, as you can get the products on a better deal in the gift sets, than by buying them individually. This year I picked up James Brown's 'Photo Fabulous Volume Kit.' This set contains a large shampoo, conditioner and intensive treatment. These products retail for around £6.99 each, yet I managed to pick up the set for £7.50, a complete bargain. I am really hoping they can inject some volume into my very flat hair. 

My last sale purchase was at The Body Shop. I actually made this before Christmas as I had voucher for £15 off a £30 spend. I decided to stock up on my favouite product, the Body Butters in Satsuma. This is just divine as the scent is incredible and it just leaves your skin beautifully soft. I decided to grab two whilst I had a code for a discount. The products were £6.50, down from £13 each. 

I now think I have enough new beauty products to last me well into 2014. Did you treat yourself to anything in the sales?
