MY MINIATURE BOOTS PAYDAY HAUL.

Before I get paid each month, I always make a point of writing out a list in the notes section of my phone to remind me of which beauty goodies I need to buy. Usually, this list consists of a few of my favourite skincare lotions and potions, perhaps a new lipstick, and another couple of bits and bobs. But no matter what, there's always something I end up missing off - or spotting, and deciding that I simply have to have!

Beauty is a huge part of my life, and I'm happy to admit that I do spend a large chunk of my time applying these products to ensure that I'm always looking and feeling my best.

To me, in many ways, beauty is very simple - it's definitely the little things that go a long way. The glorious feeling of super-smooth legs, a blemish-free complexion, or a good old healthy glow are just three of my personal favourites when it comes to looking great.

And this pay day, my four *initial* beauty buys (no doubt there'll be many more!) tie in perfectly with the above...

First up, I replaced my almost-empty bottle of St Tropez Original Brozing Mousse...

Secondly, I invested in a new pack of - actually very affordable - Bic Razors, to keep myself fuzz-free and fabulous...

Thirdly, I bought a new bottle of my must-have Rosewater Spritz from Botanics at Boots...

And finally, I treated myself to the gorgeous Garnier Ultimate Blends moisturiser in Delicate Oat.

When it comes to choosing a fake tan, I St Tropez is one of my all-time favourites, and a frequent repeat buy, as I know from experience that it always delivers. In the past, I have used the lotion and spray formulas, too, but I always go back to the mousse. I find that the mousse is the easiest solution to apply, and I think it lasts a little bit longer than the others, too.

Another repeat buy from the above list is my trusty Rosewater face spritz from Botanics at Boots. This glorious bottle of goodness is so affordable that you can spray away throughout the day without feeling an ounce of guilt - and it's absolutely brillian. If, like me, you prefer to use gentle formulas and products without all of those harsh chemicals, this one is a must-have that I honestly can't rave about enough. It's fab!

The next two products on my list aren't so much things I've bought before, as new bits to simply try out.

I have used one of the Garnier Ultimate Blends body lotions before, but not this particular flavour. I think the one I tried previously was honeycomb or something like that? It'll be mentioned on here, somewhere! This time, though, I thought I'd try something a bit different. What attracted me to this flavour in particular was the colour of the packaging - as I literally love white and baby pink together - and the soft, but sweet fragrance. I knew that this light scent would smell gorgeous all over, and wouldn't interfere too much with my perfume.

Finally, let's talk about the Bic razors. Typically speaking, I find that Bic get a pretty bad name when it comes to shaving - an endless fleet of images of men with tissue paper stuck to their chins springs to mind... However, so far, this little four-pack of smooth-shaving razors has proved nothing short of brilliant. I picked these up on offer and thought I would give them a whirl, and I'm actually really impressed! The razors glide over the legs perfectly, leaving neither a cut or a nick in sight - just enviably smooth pins. What's not to love about that?!

So, this was my miniature Boots payday haul. What have you lot been buying since you got paid? Comment below and let me know!

Lots of love,
