Natural Collection Lipstick in Berry Sorbet and Natural Collection liquid concealer in fair - £2 each. I had a voucher that would give me an extra 150 points when I bought 2 natural collection products. There was also an offer to get a free tinted lip balm when you buy two products but I didn't bother picking one up as I knew I wouldn't use it.

Seventeen Brow pencil in brown - £2.89  This was also part of a points booster voucher. Buy any Seventeen product and get an extra 200 points.

Boots extra firm hold hairspray - 89p  Boots also has an app where you can load other offers onto your advantage card. I needed some more anyway and then saw I got 10% off. not a huge amount off but it ended up being 80p.

Boots extracts Mango body spray - £4.50 When I bought this, it was on offer for £3.50 then I also had a voucher for £1.50 off so this spray was only £2.

I also used my double points voucher which you can use twice, so in total I gained 406 points which converts to £4.06 worth of points, not bad for only spending £9.78!

You get loads of different offer on the app as well, so be sure to download the boots app! If you don't have an advantage card, I would strongly suggest getting one!

What have you bought from boots recently?

Thanking you,

Why, hello there...

So this is the second instalment of my 'Save your pennies' series (check out the last post here), looking at different ways to save/earn some money including online, in-store and money off deals. This post is going to be looking at shops on the high street where you may not have thought of finding great bargains, so lets get started!

1. T.K.maxx. This shop has recently become a beauty blogger favourite. As well as selling clothes, it also sells top brand make up and beauty products for SO much less! I've got presents from here including 3 Deborah Lippmann nail polishes, normally about $18 each, for only £5! It has also been known to sell acrylic storage just like Muji from time to time, but you have to keep looking to see if they have any in stock or are selling them at the moment.

Top brands: Revlon, Nails Inc, OPI, Sally Hansen, Essie, Ciatte, Deborah Lippmann Eco tools.

2. Pound Shops. Definitely my favourite! I always go in to check if they've rotated their make-up section. They always have famous brands and products that are either discontinued or only available in america (including wet 'n' wild!). They also all the normal beauty stuff like shampoos and things, so there is loads to choose from. 

Top Brands: Calvin Klein, Collection, Revlon, Rimmel, Wet 'n' Wild, OPI

4. ASDA. This is a brilliant place to find top branded skin care items for less. I got my L'Oreal micellar water from there for only £2! It also has the famous NSPA range which is very similar to the natural collection at Boots, except it's always on offer so you hardly ever pay full price and it's relatively cheap anyway!

5. Charity Shops. These are great if you're students and can't always afford to go to the top high street clothes shops. They're also great for utensils and any other bits and pieces you need for the kitchen. I have found bits from topshop and primark, so it's good to have a rummage about.

That's all for today, if I've missed something out you feel would fit in with this post, let me know in the comments!

Hope you found this useful!

Thanking you,

Why, hello there...

So this is one of the new posts I've been most excited about to post this new year! This blog is primarily about saving money and finding products for less, and I thought that I should do a couple of posts especially about trying to save a few pennies. Whether you're a blogger or a beauty addict, I hope these tips will come in useful!

This first post is going to be about online savings and also ways to make a few pennies out of online shopping, so lets get started!

1. Quidco. I've done previous posts on quidco before but that was back when I had hardly any followers. Quidco is a great site where you can get cashback for shopping online from hundreds of popular online websites. Everything from ASOS to Netflix to Superdrug and everything in-between is on this site! I use it all the time to get cashback on all my online purchases, which was really helpful over the sales period! 

They have excellent custom care if you have any problems and always explain anything you don't understand. The only problem I have with Quidco is that you have to give your first £5 earning to the site every year to help with the running of the site. But it's not a lot for the savings you can make! I would highly recommend this for bloggers especially if you don't get to the shops very often or can't find something in store! Click on the image above to take you to their website! They also have banner which you can put on your blog to advertise it!

2. Top Cashback. This site is very similar to Quidco. I am a member of the site but only really use Quidco. Although it does seem to have a few better qualities such as you don't need to pay yearly and on the odd occasion on their app, you can get freebies! I believe a most recent one was a free hand cream from the Body Shop? I think I will definitely have to start trying this site out! Click on the image below to take you to the website!

3. UniDAYS. I've just signed up to this website and I'm loving it so far! It's basically like a NUS card, but for free! It gives you loads of discounts on all the high street stores, including Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Benefit and many more! It also has loads of in-store discounts as well, up to 20% off so you can save loads of money, especially if you buy in bulk! I would definitely recommend this site if you're a student on a budget! Click on the image below to go to the website!






4. Newsletters. I receive newsletters from a few companies such as Superdrug, Newlook and The Body Shop. They don't spam me, only about once a week or less I get an email from them letting me know about the latest offers or products that are on sale so you're always up-to-date. They also give special offers for the newsletter readers so occasionally I get special discount codes for a certain percent of my order, half price on selected item or free delivery. I make sure all my newsletter go into one file in my emails so they don't get mixed up with my other emails. I would definitely recommend signing up to some of your favourite brands, you never know what kind of deals you'll receive!


5. Voucher Codes. My parents use this and other variations of this site quite often for meals out or for in-store purchases. You can print off thousands of vouchers for a variety of different outlets and get loads of deals and money off. I would always check this website before going out to a meal to see if they have any offers!



6. Voucher Cloud. This company got in touch with me after this post originally went up and wandered whether they could be featured in this post. I had a look around their site and it definitely worth a mention! Unlike some voucher websites, they have a competitions page and LOADS of exclusive offer for their site only! I love the layout of the site as well - very slick and well laid out. I would definitely recommend giving this site a try! (I wasn't paid to say this, the company simply just asked if they could be included in this post)


That's all for this post! If you have any other tips let me know down below and I'll add them to this post (and let people know you gave me the idea!)

Do you use any of these resources?

Thanking you,

Naomi

Why, Hello there...

Quidco is an AMAZING site if you do a lot of on-line shopping, not just beauty/health/fashion, but even grocery shopping, film sites (Netflix, NOW TV e.c.t) and much more. I've been a member of Quidco for just over a year now, and although I don't do a massive amount of on-line shopping, Quidco has offers where you get cashback for completing free trials, so essentially they're paying you!
