Superdrug's limited edition sweet shop range review!


I'm a sucker for anything smelling like old fashioned sweets and when I saw Superdrug had done a range involving sweet smells I grabbed every single item. Everything was 99p and this is why I love Superdrug so much. Everything is cheap, cruelty free and awesome!

First up is the pear drop shampoo and conditioner. This is what first caught my eye as I love the smell of pears. This is a very faint scent when I first opened up but after lathering it on my hair it smelt gorgeous, also I kept catching whifts of it throughout the day which was lovely. I usually only use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners but this one left my hair feeling squeeky clean and in good condition.

The face mask is up next. It's vanilla fudge scented which I found to smell like toffee yogurt so no complaints from me, it smelt good enough to eat! It's a self heating mask so it was lovely and toasty on my face and my skin felt so smooth after. I usually buy the white chocolate mask from Superdrug as their so cheap and don't make my skin break out which is a rarity for me. I feel so pampered using a face mask and this is a lovely treat for the face!
The dry shampoo is the product I've used the least as I prefer to wash my hair. I know I shouldn't wash it so much but it gets greasy so quickly :'( Well I thought there's no harm picking this up and popping it into my bag so whenever I'm late for work or staying at my boyfriends I can just squirt this into my hair. It has a nice, fresh, lemony scent to it.
As you can see the bubblegum shower gel is the product I have used the most. I bloody love bubblegum scented things! This a raspberry bubblegum scented shower gel and the first thing that hits you when you give it a sniff is the raspberry. As I lathered it in the shower the bubblegum came through. Defo worth a purchase if you like sweet, tangy scents. Also a special mention for the packaging of these products. Pastel sweets in the backround, so cute and eye catching!
Another handy one for the handbag this jelly bean body spray is great for a mid day squirt. I couldn't really put an exact scent on jelly beans but it has a lovely sweet scent. All in all Superdrug have really impressed me once again it is easily my favourite drug store on the high street!

Whitby


I have just got back from Whitby and it's just one of my favourite places to be. I went for a couple of days with my boyfriend, we had a fantastic weekend with lots of lovely sun, sea aaaaand chips!

As the photos show the scenery is stunning. There are lots of lovely little quirky, independent shops, I always end up spending a fortune and travelling back to Manchester with about 50 extra bags!









This is us on our most recent trip. We've been 4 times now I think and part of the reason I love it so much is that it's our place. I've only ever been here with Dan and it's now become our place really. Whitby has plenty of shops and a couple of Indian restaurants to keep me happy and more than a few classy boozers to keep us both happy! One of the top pubs is The Little Angel. Such a friendly atmosphere, a lovely beer garden, a great selection of beers and the shots are absolutely lethal.



Whitby is not just a quaint little seaside town. It also has a Gothic side which I adore, it's so awesome with so many people from different walks from life strolling around. The Gothic side comes from Bram Stoker stayed there and got his inspiration for Dracula and it's where Dracula first washes up when he reaches England. There used to be the Dracula shop but sadly closed down but leaves the Dracula experience which is kind of a walk through of the history of Dracula and may have a sneaky vampire pop out at you!





I've always stayed in the same place, the shepherd's purse, as it is so quirky and unique. A walk down a alley way leads into a secret garden. Each room is completely different and a vintage, trinket lovers' dream. I'm not usually into vintagey things but I LOVE this place. The staff are lovely and it's such a treat to just sit in the little chairs in the garden, share a bottle of wine and watch the local people come and go.



I have a Whitby haul to do as I bought some amazing things, it'd be a shame not to share and also a Whitby Superdrug haul as I got a amazing bargain in there! Any seaside towns or gorgeous beaches you would recommend? I love being by the sea, do you?
