Mini Boots Haul - What I Brought from Boots

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo | Boots | £13

Wahoo, after trying the little mini version I was sent through the post, I finally managed to get my hands on this as a clearance item at my local Boots? No idea why it was reduced, but I think it was around £8.50 a tube, so I picked up two.

Umberto Giannini Instant Beauty Leave-in conditioner | Boots | £5.61 (odd price?!)

I'm in need of a replacement for my Ojon Revitalising Mist which is getting way too expensive.

No 7 Beautiful Skin Eye Make Up Remover | Boots | £8.50

Picked up another of these which my £5 off No 7 skincare voucher.

No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Day Hand Cream | Boots | £10.50

My hands are in dire need of some nourishment, so I'm hoping this may help. The winter weather has taken its toll on them.

Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 Itchy Scalp Shampoo | Boots | £4.99

The weather has also taken its toll on my hair and scalp. I have no idea what's happened, but my scalp is flakey, extremely itchy but really oily?! I didn't know where else to turn except Head and Shoulders. I didn't want the 2 in 1, but they didn't have any of the normal shampoo left.

Botanics Facial Oil | Boots | Can't locate it on their website

Smashbox HD Concealer in Fair/Light | Boots | £17

  2. Morning Laura, excellent post and a great haul, you mentioned that the weather as taken it's toll on your hair, hence the head and shoulders product, many problems associated with flakey and itchy scalps are caused by Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulphate (SLS), an ingredient found in most hair products brands, so I thought that I would leave you a link to a site for some products that you may find interesting for a future post, they have an excellent range of products and they don't use the above ingredient.

    1. Thank you, Alan. I will certainly check out the site as my friend has an allergy to SLS. After speaking with my consultant at the hospital today, it looks like it's one of my medicines that it causing the itchy rash on my scalp, so I'm being moved onto something else to see if that helps.

    1. Yes, I have tried it a couple of times now. The consistency is a little thinner than what I would have liked, but the coverage is amazing and a tiny bit goes such a long way. I'll write up a full review soon.
      Thank you for following my blog : )
