Hello again!
No post yesterday as I was very busy enjoying this miraculous English sunshine, but I already had these pictures ready for this post, so here it is!
I've decided to do another series (as wel as 'Vogue Bit') called 'Supermarket Beauty', about things you can pick up at the supermarket that are great beauty buys and at a great price also. There are shedloads of products in supermarkets that you can pick up that are on special offer or cheaper brand options that are just as great as some more expensive brands.
You might have seen this photo I posted on Instagram a few weeks ago...

| " Today's finds! Going to start a series on my blog called 'Supermarket Beauty' :-) #beauty #blog #review #skincare " These are some products I found on a trip to the supermarket! I love the BalanceMe Face Wash and the Happy Hair Days Thickening Heat Protect Spray, but I wasn't too keen on the Bioré as it warms up while you buff it on your skin and I just didn't get on with it. So as well as those two products, there are two items I use from the supermarket that can be found in where the cooking oils are - Almond oil and Olive Oil. I use the Sainsbury's ones purely because they are good quality and cheap.  The first oil is Sainsbury's Extra Virgin Olive Oil With Vitamins A, D and E, my Mum actually picked this up for me when we ran out of olive oil and got this one with added vitamins - even better! I use this to condition my eyebrows and eyelashes as olive oil is a great natural conditioner for the lashes and brows. It helps your lashes to grow thicker and longer and if you've over plucked your brows, it helps them to grow through healthy and thick again. Everyone is different, but for me olive oil really works - don't be put off by the fact it says 'Ideal for Marinades & Salad Dressings'....it's perfectly fine to use on your face! Olive oil is extremely nourishing and I just love using this at night before bed to condition my eyelashesand eyebrows. - This is what I do: 1. I get a cutip (One like in the picture below with one thin end and one wide end, I just prefer them!) and I use the thinner end to dip into the olive oil, making sure the cutip isn't over soaked so I have accuracy with the product and so that it won't go in my eyes. I then run the cutip along the upper lash line being sure to coat all along evenly at the root of the lashes. This will condition the lashes from the root and help them to grow. 2. I then re-dip the cutip in the oil and carefully apply it to my lashes. I do the same with the bottom lashline. Be really careful not to get the oil in your eyes, it doesn't hurt but it cansting slightly or feel a bit uncomfortable. If you are careful it will be fine. 
3. To ensure no product will drip into the eyes, I use the wide end to run along my upper and lower waterline making
sure they are clean and free from oil. If I feel I have over-applied i just blot my lashes with a tissue.
4. I then get some more oil on the wide end of the cutip and run the oil along my brows and in
any places I particularly want them to grow back.
The vitamins in this particular oil will condition and nourish the hairs even more, so I really recommend this one if you
want a bit more oomph!
You can purchase this oil from Sainsbury's and it is currently £1.99 for a massive 500ml bottle!
the shower to condition my skin and make it feel really soft and supple. You can also use olive oil for this, but I think I prefer the almond, it just feels really silky and luxe. I simply get my loofah with my preferred shower gel or cream on, and add a splash of this oil to it, lathering them both together and using all over my body. It really is a gorgeous shower-time treat and so inexpensive - it is a great cheaper option to lotsof the expensive luxury shower oils on the market and I thoroughly enjoy using it! You can purchase this oil from Sainsbury's and and is £1.69 for a 250ml bottle!
I hope you enjoyed this post :-)
The next 'Supermarket Beauty' post will be next week!
