december favourites


Real techniques expert face brush

Id never tried this brand of brushes before but had heard so many good things, I usually use my fingers to apply my foundation but after trying this brush I have been converted.
not only does is it the softest brush I have ever found but gives a flawless even skin and the bristles don't fall out, will be buying more of this range.

Sanctuary hand and nail cream

I'm a big fan of sanctuary the at home spa range its so luxurious but affordable, this hand and nail lotion is nourishing and leaves your hands silky soft and is a great size to keep in your bag.

Vo5 hair mask

I have long hair and the ends tend to get a little dry a specially this time of year with the heating and fire always being on, once a week i put this mask on for 5 minutes (sometimes longer if it needs it) after washing your hair rinse of and it makes it so soft it has 5 different oils in it so your hair is less knotty, easier to manage and looks so much healthier.

Malibu lip balm

I love this product not only is it keeping your lips kissable but its protecting them too with a sf5 30 in the great for all year round

Easiyo

I have been wanting this for so long I am addicted to yogurt and this yogurt maker is amazing, you mix  the sachets with water put it in the container  fill the container with hot water leave for 8-12 hours and leave it to the side (no refrigerator needed) and its done so much healthier than shop bought.

bath and body




The best time of my day is bath time lighting some candles, using a lush bath bomb and relaxing, having some me time.
I have to say sanctuary is my most favourite at home spa range in this gift there is a hand lotion, bath soak, body scrub, oil body mist and body wash.
The scrub and mist are truly amazing exfoliating your dry skin off and leaving fresh soft skin and locking in that moisture with the body oil mist leaves your skin silky soft.


The other products are the boots extracts you get a body wash, scrub and body butter I love these because the mango scent is so intense you almost want to eat It, It smells so good (but don't lol).
The scrub is great when you want more of a deeper exfoliation its amazing for the winter months when the heating etc are drying out your skin and the body butter I'm addicted to it it nourishes your skin and the mango smells so good delicious if you get really dry skin even if you don't a body butter is great to use I use it in the evening it best not to use them in the day as they are more thicker consistency than a normal moisturiser.

real technique

Usually I use my finger tips to apply my foundation as I found it best for me, but after a friend recommend me the real techniques expert face brush I fell in love it is amazing flawless finish and HD ready.
The brush its self is synthetic, but ever so soft and the way it had been designed to have the tight bristles gives you the perfect finish.

tartan

I go through fazes of liking Primark but when I found this dress I loved it and it was only £15 it is a fitted dress great with ankle boots and tights think ill be wearing mine with my biker jacket
My favourite brand of makeup is no'7, so when I received these products for Christmas I was over the moon.
The eye shadow palette is beautiful the colours are really pigmented and so pretty they can be worn day to night and will look beautiful on many kind tones.
The lipstick and gloss are so pretty the lipstick goes on like butter its so smooth and a really feminine warm pink tone the gloss isn't sticky and adds that pop of colour also has an spf 15 great to protect your lips.

The days are getting colder, we are now putting the heating on to keep us warm and toasty, it plays havoc on our hair me personally having quit long hair I find the ends tend to look a mess at this time of year,  but not any more I have food these two amazing products the vo5 hair mask shampoo your hair put this on the mid to ends of your hair leave for 5 min longer if they are really unruly wash and trust me your hair will be silky soft.

I’m in love with the L’Oreal Elvive hair oil you can out it on wet hair before shampooing , dry hair or after styling I have never found a product that gives a wonderful shine to my hair and so silky its unbelievable
I kinda of went crazy in the lush store, this is just a few of what I bought if I could I would buy the whole store saying that my room now smells like the store.
in the summer I love just to have a shower but as soon as autumn/winter comes nothing beats a lovely hot bath, candles and everything lush.

They make your bath experience that little bit more special, they smell so good, come in so many shapes, colours designs I’m a specially loving their Christmas bath bombs so go check them out I’m sure you will become addicted too.

the perfect foundation

I never thought id say this but after years of searching I have found the best foundation EVER.
as a woman with very pale skin I have always found it really hard to find a foundation that gave me coverage but with out looking yellow or pinky based.

After a friend of mine was raving about it I finally gave in and went to my local no7 counter and had my skin tested, they use this tool and skin both sides of your face to see what colour you truly are.
I was so amazed after all these years of searching having to mix many foundations to get a match to my skin tone this is finally the ONE that fits me perfectly and it has a spf 15.

Its so hard to find the right concealer that’s not to dark or light so they have made concealers to match the foundation you are so all the hard work is done for you.

The lovely lady gave me a makeover to finish off the foundations so I bought a few extra treats for my self the products are listed below so go try it  trust me you will be surprise how amazing your search for your perfect foundation is over.
