June Empties 2015

June Empties

It's that time for another empties post. Here are all the things that i have used up and i'll give you the low down on what i think about these products. 

Baremineral's Mineral Veil - 9g - £20.00 - I was shocked i even came to the end of this as this finishing powder never seems to end. However i do really love this and it pairs extremely well with the original foundation. My foundation stays on all day and looks flawless. Even though this is a mineral powder, it doesn't look cakey on the skin. I have already repurchased this.

Benefit - They're Real Mascara - £19.50 - I have really fallen out of love with this mascara and i really hope it takes a fall from grace this year as there are so many better mascara's out there. This mascara dries up so quickly, it clumps to hell and is just a horror to get off. 

REDKEN - Smooth Lock Shampoo - £13.80 - I adore this shampoo and i have repurchased this straight away. It makes my hair look and feel amazing. I also love the almond smell of it. I love anything that has heat protectant in it and this is a sure winner. 

Vichy Derco Shampoo for Sensitive Skin - £5.66 - For a good value shampoo, this is really excellent and a great balance for a high quality shampoo. This really cleans your hair and helps get rid of any dandruff that is in the hair. 

Sisley Black Rose Mask  - Sample Size - I can't deny, this mask was amazing, the sample size was such a teaser for the really expensive mask. I can't say it is worth the price but this little sample was a wonderful treat.

Rituals Fortune Scrub - £10.00 - I adore this scrub and finishing another of these was a pleasure. My back has never been cleaner. I already have a back up so and i'm already using it. The scene is so relaxing. 

Caudlie Beauty Elixir - £11.20 - I do love this as a little treat and another bottle has come to an end. I really love the smell and the way this feels on my skin. However i won't be buying a back up anytime soon. I am looking to try other sprays. 

Impulse tease - £1.99 - This is a easy peasy quick pick me up when you don't feel so fresh. Great to keep in your bag to get out when you most need it. I do like the scent but i think i will be moving back to perfumes to keep me smelling great as i don't feel this lasts very long. 

Sanex Pro Hydrate Shower Gel - £3.19 - Cheap, lasts a long time and is great on my dry skin, i really cannot fault this. I love a good shower cream as opposed to Gel and this one sits on top of my list. I cannot deal with all the fragrance'd shower gels so this one really keeps that at bay from irritation. 

Spring /Summer Makeup - 2015

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner and it's that time where we pack away our thick matt make up and change it up for something more light and summery. Here are my summer picks to make you look and feel good without feeling weighed down this summer:

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydration Gel Cream - £26.00 - I believe this is perfect for for summer and being bare mineral's one of my all time favourite brands, they are kicking a punch with this. It has SPF 30 in it which will help protect your skin in the summer. This product is so light so it will not clog your face. Not just that this is more than just a foundation, it has skincare in this brand which is a total win. I wouldn't replace this with your normal skincare but i believe keeping skin hydrated is always amazing because in summer this is something a lot of people forget. It comes in so many shades and i believe with the properties in it i think this is a first for everyone foundation. I am in love with this.

Clinique Blushing Blush powder - In pink Love - £22.00 - I recently got a sample of this in a gift bag i got from Clinique and pink love in particularly is stunning. It gives such a stunning summer flush with a glittery glow. There are so many different shades of this which I believe a lot of these are too perfect for spring and summer. The product is really easy to apply and very bendable so you can put on a little or as much as you want. 

Revlon Colourburst in Mischievous - £7.99  - This orange colour is the perfect shade for summer, it really pops and makes such a beautiful statement as you are lying on the beach or walking around in the sun. These crayons may be matte but they feel very

moisturising on the lips and with the sun beaming on you, you don't want your lip product moving. This one stays on your lips and looks amazing for hours on end.

Borujois Delice de Pourde Gold Bronzing Powder.  - £7.99 - This gold shimmery bronzer is perfect for summer, it makes your skin look summer shiny and not greasy which is perfect if you aren't in the hottest of countries. I really love the way this applies, it is very bendable and lasts for hours. 

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - £7.99  - I've accidentally had this on when i went for a dip in the pool and the sea and this has budged. For £7.99 this waterproof mascara is perfect. I have never had one issue with this, although some people do have an issue with the brush inside. I think it gives amazing volume and last all day.

Kiko Infinity Eyeshadow in Gold - £2.80 This shade is so stunning and is perfect for summer. The shimmery shade goes perfect with the rest of the make up and looks subtle enough to keep your lips popping. I adore kiko's eyeshadows and i believe so far they are so underated.

And that is my Spring Summer Make up item recommendations. What do you love to wear in spring/summer? Leave a comment below.

February Favourites 2015

One month ends and another month starts anew, and now it's time to review the products I have been loving this month. My February Favourites.

Let's start with the larger products. 

Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator 70ml- £15.75 - Everyone raves about the skin and polish, which i do love but people fail to give a lot of other Liz Earle products a try. This exfoliator is one you should try. My skin really hates Exfoliators at the best time and as i have had a bout of Eczema on my face, having something as gentle as this to get the dead skins cells of my face has really helped. I love the smells and how the Jojoba beads gently clean my face. Love it.

Caudalie Moisturising Toner 200ml - £14.25 (Pictured 400ml which seems to be have discontinued) - Not sure why they have gotten rid of the 400ml size but this is the best toner i have used. I used to think toner was a bit of a fad stage because everyone toner i tried seem to be more chemical than anything nice. Caudalie uses grapes, mint and plant extract to make its product so nice. I love this day when my skin needs a natural rescue. 

La Roche-Posay Serozinc - £8.50 - People were not lying when they told me about how amazing the product was. This spray containing Zinc, a natural mineral really has helped to clear up my recent break out of spot. I especially love the little spray pump, it makes it so easy to apply. 

Co Lab Dry Shampoo 200ml - £3.49 - You may look at the price tag and think how can such a cheap product be good. Well you are wrong, this is what we have been waiting for. I Love Batiste but the amount of brushing you have to do to hide the dry shampoo is ridiculous. I love this for it's invisibleness when you really do not have time to wash your hair or are trying to leave your hair. I think i will be definitely trying to the Extra Volume version in this range.

Now onto the smaller items. 

Balance Me Radiance Face Oil 10ml - £15.00 - This handy travel size oil is perfect for Travel and for ease of use, the little roller ball makes it so easy to apply the oil and the results are amazing. My face naturally glows the next morning as the oil has had time to restore my face. I highly recommend this as a night treat. It is a little sticky at first but once it has dried you will barely even tell it was there. 

Bareminerals Original SPF 15 Foundation - £25.00 - I decided to switch to fair this month and i really do not regret it. This is my favourite mineral foundation and it never disappoints me. There are so many shades and it is so easy to apply. The great thing is, you barely used any and the coverage is very high and lasts all day. Very much in love with this foundation.

Clinique Mouisture Surge 10ml (In a gift set) Full Size £34.00 - I wanted to try this before investing in this moisturiser and i have noticed that my skin has looked far less dry and with me having Eczema on my face this month, i have had no irritation on my skin. My skin has felt so much softer and I have noticed this has helped give my face the hydration it has needed from the cracking of my cheeks. Will be buying the full sized pot soon. 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 30ml - £21.50 - I have never tried MAC Prodcuts really before but after picking this up, i was thrilled, the coverage and ease of application was fantastic. My only grip is the pot doesn't come with pump and the smell is a little like paint, however once this is applied, your face is set for the day, it stays on all day and never once budged from my face. Amazing product and i am starting to see why people love MAC so much. 

And that is all my favourites from this month. Tell me what you loved in the comments below. Until next month.

February 2015 - Haul

We all love a good Haul and here are a few of my purchases this month

I decided to get onto Escentual's , a site which i really do love and like Boot's you can collect points on a point system. 

The Seroznic Spray from La Roche-Posay was high on my list as i have been having some trouble with my skin lately. I will be writing a full review on this after i have had a good few weeks of using it, so stay tuned!

I was also low on shampoo and this Vichy's Derco's Anti-Dandruff range is one of my all time favourites, however I had never tried to the Sensitive skin version. My skin isn't in great shape lately and my eczema is sadly in full swing and hopefully this will ensure my hair is not a victim and is kept washed with a great product as well as being protected. 

 My current Bare Mineral's foundation is down to it's last few shakes of the pot. This time i decided to go for the fair shade to see if i prefer it over fairly light. In these winter months i have noticed if i use the shade fairly light if i apply it wrong, especially with my early work mornings, my skin could look patchy in shade. 

I also picked up a Mineral Veil, this is a perfect finishing powder, and not just with bare mineral's product. I highly recommend it. 

This last product was a complete splurge, as a huge fan of cleansing oil, I decided to pick up a Dior instant cleansing oil.  This is a really nice product, but i can't say yet i have noticed much difference in this to the DHC cleansing oil, bar it smells better or the Superfacialist Vitamin C+. I think you might be better to save a good £13 or so and buy one of the more affordable options.

And that was my haul. Feel free to comment with your favourite recent purchase :)

Beauty products Wishlist 2015 - February

I posted a wish list last month about some of the products I was looking to get this year. So far i'm already quite on track and have managed to get my hands on two of the products mentioned in this post.  So i thought i would do a quick recap of the items which are off my wishlist and add some new items that have caught my eye.

Items off my Wishlist

Sleek Blush Palette In Pink Lemonade  £9.99 - I was luckily gifted this as a late Christmas present by my friend. It has also featured as a product of the month and all January and i have been loving this palette a lot so far. 

Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm - £22.00 - I have just recently purchased this and it is on it's way to me as we speak. I am excited to try this and i am sure i will review this shortly with the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm as comparison.

New Additions to My Wishlist

Moroccan oil Treatment 25ml - £13.45 - My hair has been so dry lately and i have been recommended this hair oil. I am interested to see if this works and i am glad they do a small size so that you can see if this is the best thing for your hair before buying a full bottle. They range also does shampoo's, however i really think my hair needs the full treatment first. 

Bourjois Health Balance Compact Power - £8.99 - I am in real need of a new powder to try out and the blogosphere seems to be going a little mad over this one, of course I want to see what all the rave is about and i do love a bit of Bourjois. 

Maybelline Instant Anti Age Rewind Concealer - £7.99- My grey circles seem to be getting a bit larger due to sadly a lot of recent stress, so i think i really need this product in my life to clear them up, i have heard this product is very good at that. It will be something i will be picking up. 

Pixi Glow Tonic - £18.00 - I love toners and i really have wanted to try this one from Pixi, I believe this one will help to remove some of the dead skin cells that keep floating around on my face, especially in winter and get rid of them. 

Charlotte Tibury Bronze and Glow - £49.00 - Oh this is my complete and utter reacher, I would love so much to be able to use this product, but it is so out of my budget. The packaging and the colour pay of is utterly amazing. Something i can look forward to in the future for sure. 

Bareminerals Bisque Concealer - £18.05 - I already use a lot of Bareminerals products in my daily make up routine and it would be great if i could add this as my concealer. This might just finish the whole look off, not that i don't enjoy my current concealer but i would be interested to see how this looks.  

Clinique Moisture Surge 50ml - £34.00 - I've just got my hands on a sample of this and i am literally in love, this for sure will be my next moisturiser purchase once i finish my current moisturiser. It makes my skin feel great and it has made my skin look a little less red. Can't wait to takes this into the long term. 

And this is my new wishlist for February. I hope you have enjoyed and maybe i have spoiled you into buying something new.
