My All Time Favourite Skincare Products

Hey lovelies,

Today I thought I'd feature my all time favourite skincare products that as of yet I will continually repurchase as I so far find these are the best of the best. Especially, as I beauty blog I do try a wide range of skincare so it does take a lot for a product to stand out to me and get me to repurchase.





  1. Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm (My review | Link) | Link - I've adored this stuff ever since my very first purchase way, way back in 2009 and since then continuously go back to this every single time, no matter what balm I've previously tried this stuff always comes out on top. This is great for all skin types of all ages and I recommend it to anyone that wants clear, healthy skin.
  2. Clarisonic Mia 2 | Link - This isn't photographed above but is a product I've now owned for about 2-3 years and can't really imagine my skin without it. It honestly made such a dramatic difference to my skin and I notice a difference straight away when I stop using it. I have a review upcoming for this in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out, as it will also feature my review on the decongested clarisonic set. 
  3. Origins Drink Up Intensive and Origins Drink Up Face Masks | Link - These two are honestly great and I continuously use these interchangeably. I prefer the intensive more during the winter months and the general Drink Up during the summer when my skin isn't as dehydrated. I also think these are fab to use on long plane flights where your skin always gets a bit dry and yucky. 
  4. Caudalie Beauty Elixr (My review | Link) | Link - This skin beautifying spray is perfect all year round, but especially during the summer when your skin needs a quick refresh. I adore using this in so many different ways from using it as my toner in the morning with my skincare routine, using it as a primer for my foundation, using it to set my makeup and to give it a more natural/glowy look or to even refresh my face throughout the day. Overall, this is just a great product that smells delightful and I get along with perfectly.
  5. Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate | Link - This oil is beautiful and smells absolutely amazing, I've had this for about a year now and I've still got more than 3/4 of the bottle left! Which is amazing to say I use it nearly 3-4 times a week. I've got a post upcoming of a review of this oil that will be going up soon so check that out to find out more and how to use it.
  6. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + | Link - This has been a staple in my skincare for so long I can barely remember what it was like not to use this. The Effaclar Duo is another great product to use in many different ways, from as a light daytime moisturiser, a spot treatment or a primer. This works even for the most sensitive of skin types so if you're more on the dry side, don't hesitate!
  7. Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser | Link - I love this stuff so much!! This is my first ever jar of this coca-cola smelling moisturiser and I can already confidently say that it won't be my last. I use it as a nighttime mosituriser and adore the effect it leaves on my skin for the next day. It's softer, smoother and hydrated. 
  8. Pixi Glow Tonic | Link - This chemical exfoliator is perfect for absolutely any skin type. It's designed to resurface and revitalise the skin whilst also soothing this skin. Therefore, resulting in glowing, luminous, smooth skin. The likes of infamous Caroline Hiron's adores this product, which just shows how much this is a must have for anyones skincare stash.
  9. Bioderma Sensibo H20 | Link - My must have product for taking off any and all eye make up, and the addition of the rest of my make up, It's perfect because it gets everything off without me having to tug my skin nor does it irritate it.

My Top Two Favourite Refreshing Summer Sprays

Hey lovelies,

Today I thought I'd do a quick post featuring my two favourite - ever - face sprays!


I adore face sprays as I find they're quick, easy and super refreshing. I love using them during my skincare routine, morning and/or night, during the day and even over makeup to quickly hydrate my face. I have oily to combination skin and even though primarily these face sprays are for hydration and dry skin, I still find they work amazing with my skin! Especially, as the weather gets warm they're great for cooling the skin down, even more so if you're lucky enough to be going away somewhere hot this summer!


My first favourite is a drugstore offering and is by Lush! 'Eau Roma Water' {£7.95} is affordable and packed full of amazing ingredients, free of chemicals and perfectly suitable for sensitive skins. It mainly contains lavender and rose water which are amazing for calming and soothing the skin. I purchased this a few months ago and ever since I've completely adored it! It's great to use during the day to calm the skin down, but is also perfect morning or night as a toner in your skincare routine. Overall, I've been using it any time I can - especially because it's so affordable I won't mind when it finally runs out because I'll be straight out the door to purchase another one. I recommend this to all skin types as I feel any skin at any age would definitely benefit from this.


Second, is definitely a more higher-end product made by Caudalie. 'Beauty Elixr' {£11.50} is a well known within the blogger community for good reason. This spray is beautiful, smells delightful and the packaging is so gorgeous it would of sold me even if I hadn't known about the product itself. It features beautiful ingredients such as grape, orange blossom, rose, balm mint and rosemary. Another product to calm and soothe the skin. I prefer using this morning or during the day. It's great over or under makeup as it just seems to magically make my makeup sit so much better and removes any cakeyness that was going on. Honestly, if this works for Victoria Beckham then you know it's good!

A quick, extra honourable mention is Kiehl's 'Oil Eliminator' toner which is another great one, that's perfect at refreshing the skin - although doesn't have as many skin benefits as the two mentioned. Click here to view the review.

End Of May Update

Hey lovelies,

I thought I'd start a new post series that will feature at the end of every month. I'm hoping it will include 'random' favourites I have been loving this past month.

TV Shows
The two show's I've been loving this month have been:

1. Ru Paul's Drag Race
I've been loving this show mainly due to the major amounts of sass, glitz and makeup involved in this show. It reminds me of a mix between Project Runway and America's Next Top Model. 







2. Switched At Birth
I discovered this through Sky On Demand, as it features every single season available right now so I've been binge watching it. It basically features two girls who were switched at birth (smart title right?). One of the girls is deaf and it features a lot of sign language and other issues she faces throughout the show. It's super eye opening and interesting, but it still includes the cliche teenager issues as well so it's never too serious. 


Books
I'm a massive bookworm and I'm constantly reading, so I found it super difficult to narrow down two books to feature here. But, if you want to see everything I read and possibly (Please!) recommend me anything you can add me on Goodreads here. 

1. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
I completely adored this book! Honestly, it's not something I would normally gravitate towards but, hell, I'm glad I did! It features a kick-ass female protagonist and is such an exciting read. 
I overall rated it 5 stars. 

Favourite quote : “You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.” 












2. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
This was a cute, quick, light read that is a brilliant contemporary to read any day of the year. It did deal with some serious issues, and actually had quite a twist about halfway through that I wasn't expecting!
I rated it 5 stars. 

Favourite quote: “Um. So ... Are we going to study?"



Jase slides his thumbs behind my ears, rubbing the hollow at their base. He's only inches from my face, still looking into my eyes. "You bet. I'm studying you.” 







Music
I listen to a super wide range of music and it always changes depending on my mood but here is my favourite album and single of this month:

1. Coming Up For Air - Kodaline
This album is so beautiful and I honestly love every single song featured on it. It contains fast paced and slow, sweet songs that means it's perfect for any mood or occasion. 














2. Honey I'm Good - Andy Grammer
I love a bit of country music, especially as the days get sunnier and warmer. This is a perfect mix of pop and country that will have you dancing and banging your head around by the end of the song. 







Movie

Pitch Perfect 2
Honestly, this film shocked me how funny, well written and enjoyable it was. As, I sadly was disappointed by the first one, but this one was hilarious and had me laughing from start to end. Ever since I've seen it I've been recommending it anyone and everyone who will listen!













Thank you for reading lovelies,
I hope you enjoy this feature as it progress through the year!

My Favourite Cleansing Wipes, Ever.





Hey lovelies!
Today I thought I'd do a short and sweet post on a recent finding that has honestly changed my life!
A while back I picked up the Primark 'Skin Therapy Sensitive Skin Fragrance Free Face Wipes' (longest name ever) and honestly I was blown away by them. I usually hate makeup wipes as I feel they tug at the skin, don't effectively remove any of my makeup, aren't wet enough and leave my face red and stinging. But these wipes didn't do any of this!

First of all they were damp enough to effectively remove my makeup without having to tug and pull, especially around my eyes. Although I must mention I do go in and properly cleanse after using these. And, they're fragrance free so they didn't irritate my extremely sensitive skin. I must admit, I mainly use these in times where I'm rushing, on a journey and want to remove my makeup, or i'm slightly, very tipsy from a night out and don't know my left from my right - never mind go into a full 6 step skincare routine. I believe they're around the £1 margin so I honestly recommend picking up a packet when you next see them!
