Happy New Year! Lush and Boots sales buys

I hope you all had a lovely New Year's Eve! Mine was spent sorting the guest list for my sister's party and being the designated driver whilst my family and boyfriend downed £1700 worth of free drinks (my sister won a competition for a free party with a huge bar tab!). Not all of my friends could make it to the party so I will be making up for it with them on my birthday night out on the 14th!

A few things I ordered in the online sales arrived last week. I didn't buy too much since I'm pretty skint at the moment but here's what I bought:

All of the Christmas range from Lush was half price. It took me about 12 hours on and off to actually place an order since the site couldn't cope with the traffic, but I really didn't fancy going shopping on Boxing Day!

I got lots of Snow Fairy! I just love the glitter and pink-ness of it! I haven't ever paid full price for this. Three 500ml bottles should last me a good few months.

I also got a 500ml bottle of Glogg shower gel - it's supposed to smell like mulled wine but I'm not really sure I like the scent of it so far! It seems more of a manly scent but I will give it another go before giving my boyfriend the go-ahead haha!

The 100ml bottles of It's Raining Men and Flying Fox weren't in the sale but I've wanted to try It's Raining Men for ages as it's supposed to be the shower gel version of Honey I Washed The Kids soap (which is gorgeous), and Flying Fox is absolutely amazing for 'that time of the month'!

I am more of a shower person than a bath person, but I do like a bath every so often when I'm feeling a little self indulgent! I got these Bubble Bars:

Three Gold Rings - supposed to smell like vanilla and orange but I gave it a sniff and it smells disgusting - hopefully it will smell nice when it's actually in a bath

Candy Mountain - vanilla and candy floss scented - yum!

Gingerbread House - spicy ginger scent, so sad my cinnamon stick was snapped boo!

I ordered this Crafty Nana Custard Cream keyring kit from Boots for £5 (reduced from £10). I am really getting into crafty things and this is an easy way for me to try oven-bake clay! The little case it comes in is so cute and will make a nice storage space after I've used the kit! The kits are currently sold out on Boots.com but are still available from Fred Aldous for £14.99 plus £2.80 P&P if you really wanted to get hold of it!

Lastly, I ordered this Sanctuary Spa Perfect Essentials set for £5 (reduced from £10) as I've never tried the range before and thought the miniatures would be a nice way to test it out! Included is a body scrub, body wash, foaming bath soak, body lotion and luxury bath float. I will review the products after using them as they're all still available to buy individually from Boots.

How did you spend New Year's Eve? Did you buy much in the sales? Let me know in the comments!
