Any excuse is a good one to go to Boots for a good look around, right? With going away, I wanted to make sure I had all the SPF/ waterproof requirements. Given how pale I am, and how sensitive my skin is, obviously I went for a factor 50 sun cream. Jay has already sworn that he won't be wearing factor 50, but I bet he'll change his mind once he gets burnt (as karma for all the times he made fun of me being so pale, of course). I picked up after sun too just for luck, especially as it's on offer in Boots at the moment!
The other bits I picked up were more essentials or bits I spotted as I was looking around. I've used this Rimmel fix & protect primer for a while now, so I needed a new one, especially as it's SPF 25. I also wanted a lip balm with SPF in it (if you've ever had burnt lips, you know the pain), so I went for this Nivea one which has aloe vera goodness in it. I also picked up a waterproof mascara, because even though I have about 10 at the moment, when I looked through them all not a single one is waterproof! I've used this mascara before, and I remember loving it to bits.
I wanted to try a new eye cream as mine is running low and I can't be without one, and this Yes to Carrots is for normal to dry skin. I haven't tried too much of this range before, but I've heard a lot about it so I'm excited to give it a try! I also spotted that the Tresemme dry shampoo was on offer, and I slightly prefer this one to my normal Bastiste choice because it doesn't leave white marks in my hair as easily. Lastly I picked up some more clear hair bands, because these are perfect to buns and plaits. My hair is quite thin towards the ends, so having a smaller bobble is a life saver.
I hope you enjoyed this post! I'll be away when this goes up, so if you'd like to see my holiday snaps you can follow me on instagram at nikkiyvonne_
Have you bought anything new for the summer yet?
