Lathering Up In Your Favourite Drink | Superdrug Haul

Hey everyone!

How are you?

Welcome to a brand new post. I got a few bits from Superdrug last week, so I thought that it would be a good idea to tell you what I got.

I needed some new beauty items for when I go back to University soon, therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to go onto Superdrug and order some things. This is definitely not sponsored. I just go onto Superdrug a lot, due to their many offers.

Mix & Fizz Cosmopolitan Bath & Shower Gel 250ml

I mainly got this shower gel as it was 66p, and well, a Cosmopolitan in a Shower Gel? Gimme! I love a good Cosmopolitan Cocktail.

Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser 125ml

I've used this Moisturiser before and it works for my sensitive and dry skin. I try to use it as often. I love Simple as it doesn't affect my skin too much.

Superdrug Calm Skin De-Stress Refreshing Facial Spritz 100ml

This was something that I wanted to try. I've been really into mists lately. I've tried a Pixi Mist, and, The Body Shop's Calming Coco Mist, so I thought I'd try a new one. It's not a completely relaxing scent but it's very clean and definitely refreshes the skin.

Superdrug Black Cherry & Macadamia Nuts Body Butter

I love a good Body Butter for when it slowly gets a bit colder. I normally stick to the ones from The Body Shop, NSpa, or, Lush. I thought that I would try a new one whilst I was on Superdrug's website. I have slowly gotten into slightly Cherry scented things so i thought that I would try this out.

L’Oreal Men Expert Carbon Antiperspirant Deodorant 50ml

I prefer roll on deodorants, and, as this was on offer, i thought that it would be interesting to try it and see how well it performs.

TRESemme Cleanse & renew 2in1 Shampoo plus Conditioner 900ml

Having troublesome hair, it's rare to find certain hair products that work for you. I know that this is a two in one, but I use it as a shampoo and then I normally use a conditioner/a time based leave in conditioner. This product honestly cleanses so well, which works for my dry hair.

Superdrug Mix & Fizz Daiquiri Bath & Shower Cream

Daiquiri, in a shower gel? Sign me up!

Fruity Coconut Shower Gel

So when it gets cold, you sometimes want a hit of the Summer and honestly this works so well. It was also 66p.

B Men Charcoal Face Scrub

I mainly got this product because I use a general Charcoal Cleanser for when I want to ensure that my face is spot free. I know that it works for me. The one that i normally use, wasn't actually in stock therefore, i got the cheapest one. This says that it can be used as a wash, scrub and mask. I'm tempted to try all three and review my opinions on them?

Radox Feel Ready Shower Gel 250m

I use this mainly, as I own a fair few Apple scented products from Lush, therefore I like to pair it with something similar. It was also only £1.

Original Source Lime Shower Gel 250ml

I love Limes. I love Original Source as they're Vegan and Cruelty Free. and well £1.

Original Source Lemon & Tea Tree Shower 250m

This Shower Gel smells like Lemon Curd, and is honestly one of the easiest ways to help me wake up for Uni very easily.

Oh My Aubergine Grape Lip Balm

Okay, I bought this because I needed a Lip Balm and saw that there was an Aubergine on top of it.

B. Men Post Shave Balm

I have sensitive ski, and it always ends up burning after shaving, so I got this to see if it helps my skin at all.

Superdrug Hairspray Extra Firm 75m

I needed some new hairspray, and, as I am travelling to uni and stuff, I didn't want a massive bottle. It also means I can top it up if I need to.

Have you bought any new beauty items lately? What's your go to skin care routine? Let me know down below! 

Thanks for reading this post and I hope that you come back next time! Don't forget to follow me on social media via thejamiesowden.
