First REAL post... a haul!

So I will start with... a mini-haul :)

On saturday I went to Leeds with my friends and bought a few things... Leeds is bigger than my current town that means a bigger Boots, a PRIMARK.... heaven :)

(But did you ever try to get a seat in the Prêt-a-manger in Leeds city centre on a saturday?? Just don't. Just... don't) 

Boots there sells brands such as Ted Baker, Burt's Bees... 

I was quite intrigued to go for the Ted Baker Butterly Wings Body Scrub... BUT then something even nicer caught my eye... or rather nose. Okay it is NOT a body scrub... it is the Burt's Bees Banana Hand Cream. It smells GORGEOUS! Of "real" bananas not the artificial stuff you get in most creams... NO this is different! 

I got hooked and bought it for 9,99 GBP... BUT as I am such a caring child (erm...) I sent it to my mum for her birthday next thursday. She does a lot of gardening and needs a good hand cream. 

And what can I say? Today I was clicking my way through Amazon UK and put Burt's Bees in and guess what?! They have the banana hand cream on offer for only 6,90 GBP (Link)!!! So I ordered a backup, for my mum or... meee ;) 

(If you think that price is rather expensive I have to say that for a cream, or else of good quality I am ready to pay a bit more and think in that case you get good value for money. See I don't know if you guys over here think it is too expensive as I am used to German thinking and in Germany people are used to get many things for little money so already complain if they get a good body lotion for 3 €...)

On saturday we carried on strolling through the aisles when I saw the Boots Natural Collection... they stock the fanciest (is that a word?) Body Cream ever! It is a mixture between a gel and a cream and comes in - I think - 5 different scents... the one I went for was Mango & Papaya for 3,50 GBP (see picture). 

It looks like yoghurt mixed with orange jelly... and smells delicious! Of indeed a mixture between Mango and something else, but very very fruity. I like fruity scents, light and not heavy. 

The last thing I got in Boots was 17 Wild Metallics Eyes in Wild Green (3,99 GBP). It is new in their range and even though we have a Boots in my town, they don't stock it. 

The colour is more of a yellow-based green (military green I would say) and very sparkly. You can use it as a base or on its own. As my eyelids can get rather oily I need a good base for my eyeshadow. Unfortunately I am not quite sure if it is right for me, it creased immediately so I don't think I can use it on its own...

But I will give it a good try and see how I can make a good use of it :).

Here they are...

P.S. I am sorry for the rubbish quality of the picture, my camera / my photographer-abilities are not the best...
