I received this face wash in the large S&G Christmas box as a pressie so It's been in rotation since the year began, and wow it is definitely good stuff.
Happy Bank Holiday guys, hope you're having a good one, just sharing my face of the day, this look is minimal effort for a super-polished look and I absolutely love it!
My mom has high cheekbones which I always wish I had inherited, fortunately I have learned that you can dramatically alter the appearance of your face shape with a few clever tricks. I am by no means a expert but just thought I would share a quick tip.
It's an oldie but it's a goodie! Beauty Flash Balm has been around for 33 years and has a well deserved cult following, this has been part of my routine on and off for about 10 years, what I love about this product is it can be used in multiple ways. It is a light feeling gel-cream, which is peach coloured and it has a lovely natural smell that all Clarins skincare products have in common, it contains witch hazel which has clarifying properties.
I love this toner, it is a gentle version of the likes of Alpha H Liquid Gold, which I would be a little nervous to try as I have sensitive skin. I use this every evening before my LRP Serozinc, it is a fresh, fluid exfoliating lotion that brightens, smooths and softens the skin. It contains Tamarind fruit acids to eliminate impurities and dead skin cells, and boost cellular renewal and White Nettle extract to tighten pores.
This is a basic product, which I really love, I am a bit lip balm obsessive and always have several in rotation, But my current favourite's are the Nivea Lip Butter's which I have in three delicious flavours.
Being Greek Cypriot descent, our folklore teaches us that saying something out loud may tempt fate, This is our particular brand of superstition, I know we shouldn't perpetuate stereotypes, however this one is accurate. So I will refrain from calling my post.
I have been curious about using face balm for a while now, but was a little reluctant to try them because I have combination skin. However thought I would give it a go as I have heard alot of positive things.
Check out another gem from Balance me, Radiance face oil, it is a 100% natural and contains powerful active ingredients, which include Amazonian buriti nut oil, Roman chamomile, yarrow and benzoin, I purchased the 10ml glass tube with rollerball, which is handy and convenient to apply, it can be used on clean skin before your usual face cream as a extra moisturising treat. It also works to clear toxins, enhance circulation and boost cell renewal.
Recent samples from Origins that I have been using for a couple of weeks now, and thought I would tell you about.
Origins is a fantastic brand that uses all natural ingredients, what I love about this brand is that all the products smell gorgeous and they really really do work.
For a classic neutral eye with a twist and hot coral lip, look no further than the Clarins Splendours collection, this was the summer offering however I picked up both items half off and with my boots card, as the counters are making room for the fall collection.
How fabulous is the Unii Palette (pronounced unique) It truly is the best way to reduce clutter and store your eyeshadows/blushers in one travel safe compact. It comes in 6 colours, I chose the Honeysuckle which is a gorgeous pink with sparkles.
The case is sturdy and closes with a clasp, so cannot fall open in your bag. The base inside is magnetic so your pans sit securely. It includes a thumb tab to grib the palette whilst in use, and a strip of metal which you can glue to any pans you may have which are not metal. The box contains tips on several methods of depotting eyeshadows.
The palette cost's £15, I had a cheeky voucher for £5 off so I snapped it up! They also decrease in price, i.e 2 palettes for £14, 3 pallets for £13, 4+ pallets for £12, which is handy for a MUA who may need multiple palette.
I only have two eyeshadows in there at moment which are Mac Expensive Pink and Mac Woodwinked, As I am taking my time to create my perfect palette.
For reference I think you could fit about 14 MAC pans.
The Unii Palette can be bought from the website link here.
I like the idea of a signature scent and have flirted with many scents over the years. Although I am yet to find the 'one', I can safely say it would definitely be a perfume by Guerlain.
I was really lucky to pick up July's copy of Glamour Magazine with the fabulous balance Me samples.
There was 4 items available but I only found 3, the magazine cost £2 and each sample is worth over £10, So I thought this was an amazing deal, and bought the magazine 3 times :-) I have not tried this brand before and I was really impressed.
Really excited to talk to you about my current method of concealing under eyes. I have tried loads of different concealer products, with various results, and have noticed several issues, for example creasing that seems to exaggerate fine lines NO! Eye area ends up too light, too orange, too yellow, blah blah, you know what I mean girls.
