Supermarket Shopping!
Technically it's still Saturday for me as I haven't gone to sleep. This evening I pursued the beauty aisles of 'Asda', a UK supermarket like I was on some kind of secret mission to find something that I supposedly needed. A great way to spend Saturday night, I know. :)
The first thing I apparently needed was a toffee shimmer oil and chocolate bubble bath, of course.
The scents won me over, both of them are by N-spa which I think is exclusive to Asda. The toffee shimmer body oil has a sheer tint and tiny flecks of shimmer, once applied it gives a 'healthy' finish and smells of caramel and fruits. I have tried N-Spa's shower gels in the past too, and the vanilla one is my favourite.
Here's the lot I came home with.
I needed fake tan specifically for my face, this dry face mist by Ambre Solaire fit the bill. I haven't tried this particular product before, but am in much need. I don't think I have been so pale. *Holiday please!*
Asda also has make up and lots of it. But everything is very cheap and cheerful. I wanted an eyebrow pencil as I have never tried one before and thought a Rimmel one would be a good starting point. And... guess what? It's actually quite nice, I'm wearing it in the photos, but keep in mind I have no other pencil to compare it to, it's a whole new world.
On an extra note, I flat ironed / straightened my hair for the first time since I got it cut. It looks like the layers have done a runner, but I assure you they are there. I am also liking the colour of my hair, it's gone a lot lighter from when I had it dyed.

Will I be orange like the can, or bronze like the wording? Hmmmm...

What are your best supermarket buys?
Also, yesterday I received my 'About Face' book by Scott Barnes, it's just AMAZING, I purchased from the book depositary which has free delivery worldwide. I will do a separate post on it, because it's that great!

My two favourite supermarket buys at the mo are the Tescos Vit E wipes and the ASDA nail polish.
my asda doesnt have much choice in regards to cosmetics, unlike tesco...but has so many hair and body products.
chocolate bubble bath sounds heavenly!
Love,
Ira (yep, I'm new!)
Thanks!
