November Favourites

Time for November Favourites :) which means we are finally getting into December!! Yay!! I love this time of year :D

Rose Jam shower gel from Lush. This has been an all time favourite this month! It smells just like Turkish delight! When I've been feeling groggy and tired in a morning it's so uplifting to use this it generally puts me in a better mood!! ( I know it's a shower gel haha) but the nice thing about it is when used in the evening it's very calming!!! Great all rounder :) 

Lanolips original lip balm and rose hand cream. These two products have generally been my saviours this month. The original lip balm is fantastic it's so rich and nourishing!! I've been using it morning and evening and noticed such a difference when I've had chapped lips!! The hand cream is for very dry hands, but still sinks in beautifully considering the consistency!! It hasn't left my hand bag! 

Elemis Lavender and Herbal repair face mask. I haven't really tried anything from Elemis before but after using this mask through out the month I may be asking for a few more things from Santa for Christmas! This goes on as a thin clay like consitancy, when left for ten to fifteen minutes it leaves the skin looking smooth, soft and bright! Plus it smells lovely :) 

My make up items of the month are, the massive Collection bronzer! Which I've been applying with the Elizabeth Arden bronzing brush, which goes well as it's so huge haha! I've been using this all over in a three shape to bronze the perrimitters of the face. It's been adding desired warmth to the winter paleness of my skin tone this month. Cheap and cheerful :) 

And the Kate Moss lipstick for Rimmel in 110. This is the most beautiful coral/red colour! It stays on the lips all day as its a matte finish so you only have to reapply after eating and drinking! I've been wearing the colour pretty much all month as it sets off any outfit making it festive :) 

So that's it for my November favourites what have you guys been loving?? Xx

Autumn Nails

Today I thought I would show you what I'm wearing on my nails as I'm absolutely loving it!! 

Sally Hansen complete Salon Manicure - 620 Wine Not. This is the most perfect colour for this time of year an leading up to the festive season! Although it did take about three coats for a complete opaque finish it is beautiful with such full shine! Pairing it with the Dior GelCoat is a match made in heaven! This leaves nails looking as if you've had a gel manicure and keeps polish on much longer! Plus talk about the shine! 

I am officially in love!! :) 

What nail colours have you been sporting this autumn!? xxx

YSL's Youth Liberator Serum Foundation

It's very rare that I use products that blow me away on first try. But when I first used YSL's new Youth Liberator Serum Foundation £37 I was truly impressed!! 

This foundation has started taking the beauty world by storm and I completely understand why! 

The main things I look for in a foundation are radiance and warmth, normally I opt for a lighter coverage but recently I'd decided I wanted something that gave slightly more for the winter but still left me looking natural! 

This truly is beautiful, it gives fuller coverage but it's so glowy and feels so smooth when applied! I went for the colour Beige Rose 50! Which is a pink tone that gives my skin that little bit of warmth!! For £37 it's slightly more pricey than what I'd normally spend on my foundation but I am hooked!!! It is amazing :) 

Have you tried this foundation? If you are looking for a new one I'd highly recommend!! xx

Autumn Skincare Routine

Hello you lovely lot today I thought I would talk to you a little about my skin care routine, as I have updated it slightly now it has got that bit colder. I'll start by saying that I have a sensitive to dry skin type with the occasional tendency to break out normally around my chin area. The main things I struggle with are blemish scarring and open pores. But as soon as It gets colder and the heating goes on my already dry skin needs and adding helping of moisture! 

I have finally tried the holy grail Emma Hardy Moringa Cleansing Balm, as its quite pricey I hadn't ever made the plunge and brought the full size. But whilst in duty free I picked up a travel size to try and I'm so glad that I did. The full size will definitely be added to my Christmas list as I am absolutely obsessed! It takes make up off beautifully and leaves the skin soft, smooth and feeling so luxurious! It definitely lives up to the crazy hype surrounding it! 

I picked up a new toner to try during October Lush's Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water. ' The sea breeze captured in a bottle. A refreshing spray to tide you over.' Ingredients such as Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Rose Absolute, Rosemary Oil and Seaweed Absolute help to rehydrate the skin and remove any excess grime! I really have seen a noticeable difference since adding this into my routine especially with the blemishes on my chin. It contains ingredients that occur naturally in essential oils so its a very pampering product that feels so relaxing to use. 

Origins Eye Doctor Eye Cream I have done a full review of this eye cream previously, and expressed how much I am truly loving using this! It's so hydrating that it sorted any dryness I had around the eye area within just three uses. 

Hydraluron, another hugely hyped product that I just had to try haha. I have been using this serum in conjunction with another to really seal moisture into the skin. 'It increases skin hydration from below the surface with an ultra-high-quality hyaluronic acid that holds up to 1,000 times it's weight in water.' I must admit when originally using this alone as a serum before moisturiser I hadn't seen too much difference, however using it with an oil is incredible! 

I mentioned in my October favourites the NUDE ProGenius treatment oil! I have been using this pretty much all through October and I love it! It contains omega 3, 6, 7 & 9 which naturally help to relieve skin conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis and eczema because of their anti-inflammatory properties. So my dry skin is lapping this stuff up like a dream. I have used it morning and evenings and it applies beautifully under make up giving a radiant finish. 

Lastly in my routine recently I've returned to an old favourite, Benefits Total Moisture Facial Cream. This  moisturiser has a thicker consistency and with their try radiance complex it's captures the skins hydration, maintains it and develops it over time as well. It's fantastic for dryer skin types like my own as its full if mango butter which acts as a natural emollient for the skin! 

So there we have it that's what I've been loving to use on my skin to keep it hydrated now its got cooler! What skin care items have you been loving? Have you tried anything I've tried?

October Favourites

It's October Favourites Time!! :) 

I've really missed doing my favourites posts, the last few months have been so busy!! That this month i wanted to make sure i set aside some time to tell you all what ive been loving. So let's jump right in 😊

Firstly the month itself!! I love how it's getting cooler and all the leaves are changing colour!! It makes everything feel so cosey!! I've purchased my first Autumn candle which is the Yankee Candle in Fireside Treats. It's smells so lovely; sweet marshmallowy goodness!! Om nom :) 

Adding a bit of lustre in to the month I've been truly loving the TOPSHOP highlighter in Crescent Moon! It really is love!! It's a beautiful champagne colour with so much shimmer that gives such a full highlight on the cheek bones!! 

Because its getting colder like clockwork my skin is also getting dry! So this month I've been using the Brazil Nut Body Butter from The Body Shop! It's a very thick butter that takes a few minutes to sink into the skin. However it will literally leave you hydrated for hours and hours!! It's amazing and smells divine!! 

My Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Palette, this product really does get some serious attention from me. I use it pretty much all the time, there are three shades a mix of shimmer toupes and browns! Retailing at £24.50 its so versatile and looks different on everyone :) Eeee it's a product that I don't think I'll ever be without!! 

A skin care item ive been loving for the month is the NUDE ProGenius treatment oil. This size is only 10ml but It's been lasting me absolutely ages and there's still so much left! It leaves my skin feeling so plumped and hydrated!! And my skins been behaving a little more recently and I really think this is part of the reason!! 

Those are a few products that I really have been loving this month!! What have your favourites been? leave me a link xxx

Eye Doctor by Origins

 

Origins Eye Doctor is a beautiful eye cream and something that has become a staple in my skin care routine. Retailing at  £27 it's a little pricey, but it's highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. 

It's light weight in texture but incredibly hydrating, as someone who gets incredibly dry eyes this has been amazing for me! I noticed an impressive improvement within three uses! As all dryness had vanished!! 

I haven't had any problems with sensitivity towards the eyes and I have been using this on the eye lids as well to help battle dryness! 

I'd recommend this for any one who's concerns are dark, dry under eyes as this helps to soothe and rehydrate the skin!! With cooling cucumber, soothing Rosemary and energising Ginseng offer rapid relief to the skins appearance!  Its pure love!!! 

What products have you tried from Origins? I want to try everything!!! Haha xx
