So, like most sundays, i was up bright & early with my mum & off we went to the bootsale.

It’s quite nice spending some time with my mum, & theres always something stupid to laugh at…like a man that only has 24p in change, wanting to buy a stupid china ornament that the lady wanted 30p for, & throwing the money into her hand saying
“Alls i gots is 24 pence change..lemme have it furr thaa”
haha, who goes to a bootsale, with 24p…only to find their dream china ornament is 30p
Or
A huge golden labrador sitting on the roof of a van..& mum turns to me and says “My gosh..look at the dog sat up there all well behaved”, and me saying “Mum..that’s stuffed”. Her reply is then “No it’s not..it’s moving”, and i then say “No mum..thats just the fur blowing in the wind”.
Yes…people sell stuffed dogs at bootsales…how weird is that?

Anyway…onto what i picked up. Not a massive amount of makeup this time..or a massive amount of anything really but i shall share anyway as i know some of you love my bootsale bargains.

Body Shop Shimmer Cubes
40p
Yay… These were brand new and unopened. In the body shop i think they are £14 something.
I really, really like these.. The colours are gorgeous & alot like the Mac Spiced Choc quad but without any matte colours. So, if you are sad you missed that. I would pick this up as it has some pretty similar colours in it.
Super happy with that bargain!
I will be doing a full review of the shimmer cubes soon. So look out for that!

Lush Bath Ballistics & 1 Bubble Bar
70p & 80p

I do sometimes see Lush stuff at carboots..but i always go straight to the label for the expiry, and most of the time..it will have expired. So i don’t buy it. But Bath Ballistics last for ages. Theres not really a time limit on these babies.
Yes they may become slightly discoloured but wont grow mould and turn your skin manky.
I think some of these are all holiday items.
I don’t know the names but i think 1 is called christmas party… :) & actually i think the bluey one is called Sakura (permanent) but it’s lost alot of it’s colour.
Enlighten me if you know! :D
I did actually use the one out of the bag the other night..& i can’t say i loved it much..well…at all.
It smelt like the dentist & was full of chunky glitter. I can’t ever imagine a scenario where i’d want to bathe in either of those. It wasnt a pleasant experience.
Oh well!

Dead Sea Bath Salts
20p
I have dry skin..and i have never used dead sea products..i’m stupid right? It’s meant to be really good for dead skin cells & completely renewing the skin & relaxing muscles.
Sounds good! I’m going to use these tonight. It looks too cute to open though!

I also bought 3 HUGE bags of mini eggs for 50p each. The lady was selling loads of easter chocolate. I’m guessing she took them from Woolworths before it closed down?…or is a right fatty!
That’s about all for my carbooty booty.
Get to a carboot on sunday ladies!
