Superdrug Bargains!


Hey guys! I popped into Superdrug earlier on today and picked up a few bits and pieces so I thought I would show you what I bought!
  The first thing I picked up was this Batiste Dry Shampoo for Dark & Deep Brown Hair, I actually have an original can of Batiste Dry Shampoo that is almost full sitting in my cupboard but this one was only sale for £1.95 so I thought it was a good idea to stock up whilst I could! I bought the dark and deep brown one as I do sometimes find it a pain to get rid of all the white that the original dry shampoo leaves in my hair.
  I also bought Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Lip Balm, I needed a new lip balm and this one had been recommended to me a while ago so I thought I would try it out and see how I got on with it.
  I have never bought any MUA products before, but I picked up three lipstick's today seeing as they are only £1! I got Shade 13, Shade 11 and Shade 15 Juicy. I have heard positive things about these lipsticks considering the price so I will be sure to let you now how I got on with them!
  Finally I picked up a packet of Mr Sneeze Tissues For Little Sniffles just because I thought they looked cute and when I was younger I used to adore Mr. Men!

How I deal with my stretch marks!


Hey guys! I often get asked 'how come you have stretch marks? You're not tall or overweight at all' well, when I was about 13 I had my growth spurt and haven't seemed to do much in the way of growing since then! I suddenly grew really fast, and was therefore left with stretch marks. These are something I have been self-concious of ever since - to the point where I don't even like to put on a bikini in front of my friends in the summer! I thought I would share this post with you in case anyone reading suffers from the same problem and would be interested in what I do to help improve the appearance of my stretch marks.
  I exfoliate my affected areas every other day using either an exfoliating glove or Soap and Glory Pulp-Friction Body Scrub. Then when I get out of the bath or shower and my skin is still slightly damp I apply Palmer's Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. In the evening before applying the Palmer's Lotion I rub a thin layer of Bio Oil into my stretch marks, and then put the Palmer's Lotion over the top.
  Results aren't instant, improvement takes a couple of months - and patience! And I personally don't think that doing this will clear stretch marks completely, just improve the appearance somewhat - which is better than nothing, right? I know there are other methods to clear stretch marks, such as laser removal, and considering how self-concious I feel about my stretch marks, it isn't an option I have completely dismissed, but first I'll definitely just see how I get on with the products I am using at the moment!
