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 Product / Skincare Wishlist - Jan 2015

There are so many products out there and there are a few I wish to try and get my hands on this year. This list is some of the items I hope to try out and purchase this year. 

Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm - £22.00 - I love the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm which retails for £36.00 but this year as I am hoping to pass my driving test I am looking for cheaper alternatives for my skincare which are rated just as good. This cleansing balm has had a lot of hype and being £14 cheaper I will be picking this up once my Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm has left my mits.

ZOEVA - Golden Luxury Brush Set - €65 - At the moment I have so many odd brushes and i really need a complete set and a lot of these brushes are just what i need. I will be saving for this set this year, the quality and price is very good in comparison with the sigma brush sets which can set you back a good £100+. Hopefully having this set too will allow me to purchase less odds and end brushes from Eco Tool and the Basic Real Techniques brushes which I seem to ruin in a year or so.

La Roche Posay Serozinc - £8.50 - IT'S FINALLY COMING TO THE UK!!! This will most likely be one of my first purchases of the year and as i adore La Roche Posay as a brand i cannot wait to get my hands on this. I love Toner's and Mists and lately I have started to look at using these more and more so this product will fit right into my collection. 

Naked and the Naked Two Palette's - £37.00 - Yes they break your bank but these Palette's are amazing. I own the third one but I feel a little lost with it. It works a lot on some of my other palettes like my sleek palette and my lose colours but i feel having these two would really allow me to use number three to the max. If i only get one of these this year i would be very happy.

Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask £23.00 - This is an unrealistic dream for a mask this year because of the price, however we can all have wishes right? I adore Charcoal mask's and I would love to give this one a try. I currently use the boots bionics one and i am in love with it, it really clears up my skin and i would like to see what the differences are between that and this Origins one. 

Origins Make a Difference Plus+ moisturiser - £34.50 - I have been looking for a new Moisturiser to try and this one looks like it could be the perfect one for me, the reviews i have read are perfect for my skin type. I feel that my skin would heal quicker with this as compared to my Dr Organic Moisturiser which is good but i feel at times it takes a while to heal my dry skin. Expensive but most good Moisturiser's are. I think more than the mask i will be definitely saving up for this one this year. 

Sleek Blush Palette In Pink Lemonade  £9.99 - I have this set in California and i absolutely love it, however i really would love this set more for the winter months as the California set is more of a summer colour set. The shades in this are perfect and have two shimmer matte shades and the middle is a cream finish. I love Sleek Blushes, in my opinion the best on the market so expanding the small collection i have would be perfect with this set.

L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation £9.99 - I feel like i am still after the path to find the perfect budget liquid foundation and this one for sure is next on my list. I always have issues with finding the perfect shade and something that will last more than a few hours. I have heard this is a great dupe for the Georgio Armani Foundation which is way out of my price range, so I think this one will have to enter into my life to test out my highly critical liquid foundation ways. 

Dove Pure Dry Oil Shampoo - £5.99 - I am still on the quest to find the perfect shampoo and i have heard a lot about this dove range. I have a lot of issues with shampoo and i can never find the right one for me, they either make my hair go brittle or too greasy, i think drying one with an oil formula may fix this issue so i think i'll give this dove one a good try this year. 

And these items are on my wishlist, if i am lucky to get my mit's on these item i am sure i will review these on my blog. I will repost a wishlist throughout the year as I discover new products that strike my attention. In the mean time, What are you're wish list items for this year? Leave me a comment below :)
