More Ruby and Millie Treats


I need to stay either out of town or just not go to Boots. I thought those empty shelves would be clear by now but it seems they still do have a few bits and pieces they are still trying to clear. So I splurged again. I do not know where my receipt is but all items were about 75% off in Boots. I have browsed their website and they have some products but many sold out too. It is worth taking a browse in the shop or online just in case. I was only really in Boots to redeem my £5 No7 voucher on some face wipes. Well my summer nail colours are covered for now. Well that was last week Saturday when I bought these items. Yet I confess I just got a delivery of ELF products. I must stay away from those darn beauty blogs. They make everything seem so warm and inviting so useful so justified so fool me. hah. 

This haul includes
Nail Color Lilac 530P
Nail Color Nude 800C
Nail Color Lilac 520P
Lip Gloss Purple 57 (it even has a blue 'new' sticker on it)
Lip Gloss Beige 80
Lip Gloss Pink 41

Ruby and Millie bargains

I am so not a beauty blogger. Just an enthusiast who loves makeup and a good bargain. Today after church I was in town with my sons as they had a date with the Build a Bear store. The oldest had been asking consistently for two weeks for a monkey from there. These bears are not cheap so I am glad I was not the one to buy both bears. 

Anyway I  had been running low on eye makeup remover and headed over to Boots. They have 3 for 2 offer on skincare type products. Had it been a buy 1 get 1 free I would have indulged. 3 for 2 offers cost you more money in the long run especially if your intention like mine was just to buy one product. Thankfully I told myself I have plenty of face washes and just needed the Simple Eye Makeup remover. I do not usually buy the same one as I will buy what is on offer.

So as I am browsing Boots wondering where the heck the Urban Decay stand has vanished too. I am not pleased with this as I have a planned purchase for the UD Roller girl palette with my Boots points. So as I am swirling round the endless makeup shelves with Build a Bear boxes in hand and my mini me's following suit I spot 75% off on the Ruby and Millie stand. Then I remembered the post I read months ago on Lipglossiping which spoke of the brand being discontinued. I always thought of them being too high in price for High street but they were ok. I only ever really used their twisting up lipgloss but a lid broke and it became a love hate relationship

This is what I bought and yet I was only supposed to spend £10 give or take £1 in Boots. 

• Ruby and Millie Eye liner brush 7mm £6 reduced to £1.50
•Ruby and Millie Nail Color in Yellow 200C £10 reduced to £2.50
•Ruby and Millie Nail Color in Orange 300C £10 reduced to £2.50
•Ruby and Millie Nail Color in Blue 610C £10 reduced to £2.50
•Ruby and Millie Nail  Color in Red 410C £10 reduced to £2.50
•Ruby and Millie Eyeshadow Smokey Eyes Purple £12 reduced to £3
•Ruby and Millie Eyeshadow Smokey Eyes Bronze £12 reduced to £3
•Ruby and Millie Brow Color in Black £11 reduced to £2.75

Considering they were practically given away the above products it was only right for me to buy them. Now I just have to use them to justify my purchase even more.
