CHI spree!

I discovered Sally's beauty supplies for the first time last week and now I'm addicted I had to go again yesterday to pick up some more CHI goodies. I mentioned in my previous post that they currently have an amazing half price sale on selected products including the full CHI range.

After trying out the infamous CHI silk infusion which I love and raved about in my first haul post I thought I'd go back and try out the rest of the range. It would be rude not to at these prices.

It just so happens I was nearly out of shampoo and conditioner anyway so there was another excuse to make the trip.

I ended up getting the Ionic colour protection system shampoo and conditioner (blue bottles) which I have used twice since buying and on first impressions am not sure. The shampoo is really difficult to lather no matter how much I use and the conditioner makes my hair feel rough and not silky like most conditioners. But that said it might be doing just what it says on the bottle and protecting my highlighted locks, fingers crossed. Both £3.89 each.

I have never had any curling tongs before, I've been growing my hair for the past three or four years and it's now pretty long so can be curled. Up until now I've just used GHD's to create curls but I wanted bigger, more natural curls and this does just the job. I couldn't wait to test these out so when I got home I whipped them out. They make lovely, natural looking curls for a great everyday look and were easy to use. Cost £25.98 in the sale from £70, not bad hey!

I also purchased the hairspray so I could keep my curls in for longer, yet to try and a heat protector spray. I haven't used these yet but I have tried the volume spray which I also got and to be honest can't really see any difference, prefer Sephora's volume mist or Aveda's hair potion.



I also got this huge bottle of KMS blonde treatment which is meant to stop blonde hair looking brassy and help detangle wet hair. It wasn't from Sally's but from a pound shop across the road so for a pound you can't go wrong. I've tried some KMS before and they're pretty good.

I also picked up a Neutrogena makeup corrector stick which is an oil free, non-greasy pencil which is used to remove eyeliner or mascara mistakes. I've used it and it's really good, usually I use a wet cotton bud but this is so much easier, again bargain at a pound.

Anyone else found any beauty bargains recently?

Just wanted to alert you - I was in Sally's the other day and bought some chi stuff. The sales assistants told me Chi is being discontinued and that is why it is being sold off... Sally's won't be selling this much longer it seems, so you may need to stock up...

Holly said...

@LAALAA, if you google Sally's beauty supplies then do a search with your postcode there should be one near you!x

Holly said...

@Mizzworthy, oh no thanks for the heads up, looks like I'll be going bakc for more, especially silk infusion!!x

I know it's awful. I could see myself paying that much for a flat iron, but not a curling iron! Maybe I need to make a trip to the UK :-)

Holly said...

@Nikkiga, yeh me too flat irons can be used for so much more and you use them every day but curling irons every so often!yeh UK's good at the moment for bargains!
