New In: Skincare, Makeup & Hair

Whilst out getting some much needed Christmas shopping, I may have stumbled into Boots and The Body Shop and my debit card may have fallen out and into the card machine. I can't seem to buy presents for other people without buying something for myself, but I needed at least half of these things (so that's ok, right?). 

As I write this I'm waiting to head out and get my hair coloured and cut for the first time in forever. I used to get a bright red colour done at the hairdressers every 6-8 weeks, but then I became a student and the funds went a little downhill. Now I'm back in the working world and I want to get a bit more fun with my hair colour. However, with bright colour comes much responsibility, so I picked up one of my favourite hair masks, the Charles Worthington Melting Balm. This stuff is truly amazing and since I haven't had a cut for a while, my hair is in much need of some TLC.

Whilst perusing down the hair isle I picked up a small bottle of the Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray. With my hair being a bit shorter these days, I find that I turn to the messy look a lot in times of need. I've been wanting to try a sea salt spray for a while so thought I'd give Toni & Guy a shot.  

It was 3 for 2 in Boots so I spent an extremely long time having a look for something else to add to my shopping basket. Finally I settled on a Sleek Eau La La Liner in Venom. I seem to be collecting a lot of lip liners recently and I find the Sleek liners really buttery and pigmented, so I can't wait to give this a good test run. 

Finally I picked up the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter after hearing nothing but good reviews about it. I've recently run out of my Neutrogena Grapefruit wash and I had a lovely O2 code for The Body Shop, so I thought I'd finally pick it up. 

I'm now on a bit of a spending ban till payday but with my birthday coming up and half my Christmas presents already bought, I'm hoping to do a bit more 'me' shopping. 

Have you bought anything shiny and new recently? Do you have trouble shopping for other people without spending money on yourself?
