Beauty / Skincare Wish List - May 2015

So another Month Rolls in and It's time to do my monthly skincare and beauty wish list and this month i've ticked a few more of my lists. See My January, February and April lists (Sorry i didn't find much i wanted in March).

Off My Wishlist (Purchased)

OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go - £10.50 - This featured on last months list and I decided to get my hands on this oil. I am currently finishing an old one off to soon replace this and i can't wait to use it. I will keep you updated on this one. 

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream 300ml - £11.25 - Also from last months list, I finally bit the bullet this month and have recently purchased this (Which will feature in my next Haul). My hair really struggles to go a day without washing so i feel it's time to get rid of the build up. Excited to try this out. 

Maybelline Instant Anti Age Rewind Concealer - £7.99 - Featured in February's list, I have also recently purchased this (Which will feature in my next haul) It was on a 3 for 2 offer so i was happy to get this. I really hope it lives up to the hype. I hope this will help me to keep hold of concealer a bit longer and i can use these two together. 

L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation - £9.99 -  And finally one from January. After using powder foundation for some time i decided to go back to liquid for a little as for me in the summer i much prefer it. So far i am loving this foundation in the shade fair and it is really bendable and leaves my skin finish looking natural. I am very glad i decided to pick this up. 

I think this month I got a few things ticked off the want list. Alas there are still items I wish to try. Ever the blogger i am inside:

Wishlist:

MAC Matte Finish Lipstick in the Shade Mehr £15.50 - I saw Lily Pebbles wear this and i just loved the shade. My lips are quite pink so a lot of shades look horrendous on me, however this looks like the perfect shade for me. 

REN Clear Calm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser - £19.00 - Clay based products and I are a match made in heaven and when i saw this little gem it needed to be on this list. Anything with Clay in it, especially masks really made my dull tried skin breathe life once more. I can't wait to try this.

NYX Setting Spray - £10.00  - The urban decay setting spray is a little bit expensive so i wanted to find a cheaper one, however there isn't many on the market. NYX have however brought their own out and i really want to give this a whirl. 

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil - £10.00 - I keep meaning to try this as i really have a great love for cleansing oils. They take off your make up so effortlessly and they make you skin feel nice, unlike micellar waters after use. I think this might be my next oil purchase when i finish my current one. 

Lancome Grandious Mascara - £24.50 - An utter high end splurge product but after a bad mascara experiences i would love to know how good this one really is. I also want to know how easy it is to apply with it's swanned neck. 

St Tropez Gradual in Shower Tan - £14.50 - Yes i am intrigued how this will work because i am one of these lazy tanners and if this makes it easier to do this. I really hate the smell of fake tan and how much of a chore it is even to look less pasty (and believe me i really am the pillsbury dough man). 

And there you have my wishlist, let me know what items from this list you would love to try and what is on your wishlist.

Beauty / Skincare Wishlist - April 2015

Another month passes, another wishlist is upon us. I completely missed last month, as I did take a little shopping haul which cleared a few things i really did want in March. I wasn't too successful in buying much from my last two wish lists from January and February, however i have crossed two items off the list.

Off my Wishlist

Clinique Moisture Surge 50ml - £34.00 - In February i decided i really wanted this moisturiser and after my Dr Organic moisturiser is on it's last few scoops i felt i could finally justify buying the full size of this. I feel in love after using my travel size sample up and i wanted to use this more as my main moisturiser as it seems a lot better than my previous. I really love how this feels on my skin and it really keeps it from being dry. 

La Roche Posay Serozinc- £8.50 - As i am sure you have seen, i did knock this off my January list a while ago now and i am loving it. Whenever i get a break out i spray this and it helps with the aid of getting rid of them. I am thrilled we can get this product here now. It's brilliant.

New Additions to my Wishlist

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - £19.50 - I have heard and seen the hype, but because i've been so busy with work, i completely forgot to pick up the magazine with the sample of this mascara! ARGH! So it looks like i shall have to get my hands on the full size. I have heard this is brilliant at giving full last curls which is something i would love to add to my mascara mix. I have recently been trying the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara and noticed that it seems i am getting way less fall out than the Benefit They're Real Mascara so i am keen to try this and see if it is better than it's top selling rival. 

First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads - £22.00 - Everyone keeps mentioning these and i keep meaning to try these. I think these would make cleaning your face so much easier and i do love first aid beauty because it's great for sensitive skin. 

OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go - £10.50 - With winter on it's way out, i really need to fix my nails and this has come highly recommended so i really need to get hold of this to help sort them out so i can enjoy putting on nail polish more often on my nails. 

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream 300ml - £11.25 - I do notice with having shorter hair that product does tend to build a little in my hair at some point during the week and i do find it hard to get rid of it. I've heard of clarifying shampoo's but there isn't a huge range yet on the market, i am assuming they are a new thing? I have used Redken products before and really liked them so i think this one will be the next on my list to use once a week in between my normal washes. 

All-in-one Body Shop BB Cream - £12.00 - After a failed attempt at finding a good BB which fitted my skin tone, I am still keen to find one. I have heard this body shop is great, and not just that, the shades are really bendable and don't look too dark. I think i will pick these up before i go on holiday this summer. 

Avene Cicalfate Repair Cream 40ml - £7.50 - As you may well know i suffer from Eczema, and the repair stage is one of the hardest, especially the eczema on my hands, which has been the worst i have ever had it. I am trying to use non-steroid methods and this looks like it may help with the repair of my skin. 

And there you have it, my wish list items for this month. What items are you wishing for?

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.

New Discovery - Rituals - Fortune Scrub

For the longest time I have been looking for the perfect body scrub. Normally scrubs are far way harsh for my skin, especially at this time of year when my eczema begins to creep back up on me. 

All i can say is that Ritual's you have literally saved my skin's winter blues life!!! This scrub is absolutely fantastic!! It is incredibly light with perfectly sized small scrubbing beads which clean and make sure my skin is not irritated. 

I have tried several scrubs from Body shop, sanctuary and Soap and Glory and nothing really compares. The issue I have found on the market is that they ignore that some scrubs need to not be sugar based or have really harsh huge scrubbing beads in them. Those products really tore at my skin and even made my eczema bleed, which is not pleasant. I really feel that brands need to look to how facial scrubs are made because for some of us, we cannot cope with a lump of sharp sugar or a really uncomfortable gritty bead dragging across our skin and not just clearing the dead skin cell's but feel as if they are damaging my current growing skin cells. I honestly feel Ritual's have filled a HUGE gap in the market.

My skin feels so much softer and not at bit irritated at all, not just that it does the job hands down and all my dead skin cell's are gone, POOF. I usually use a brush in the shower with this and the two together are a marriage made in heaven. My skin has never felt so clean and clear. 

Not to mention the smell, the Madarin and Yuzu really fill my shower with a wonderful citrus scent which is my favourite scent all year around, and with it being winter, the nice smell of oranges really makes it feel a little like christmas.

You can buy it now for 50% off in the Ritual's sale. Needless to say, I have already gone on bought several off these already...oops...

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 :)

My 2014 Beauty and Skincare Favourites

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!

I hope you are having a good one or have had a fantastic new years eve. To end the year I thought it was time to talk about my 2014 favourites. I apologies for this picture, for some reason, adding lighting makes your bedding look really strange when taking pictures. However let us press on to the favourites.

BEAUTY

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush  - This brush is not the easiest to clean, however for the price it is an excellent Brush for liquid foundation. It blends the foundation perfectly in the skin and doesn't leave streaky marks like some cheaper brushes do. I have tried a number of brushes for foundation and this seems to be the best one out their, the foundation brush in this range should be scrapped over this one as it does nothing for blend ability.

Sleek Make Up Blush in the Shade Coral - I am sorry for how grubby the outer packaging looks on my picture but it is my most loved blush and my favourite of 2014. I feel this blush is a good all rounder for the year and very good value for money. Not just that the sleek blush line is amazing and expansive, If this colour isn't for you, you will find one in their range that hits the mark for you. To me this is a dark Coral tone which gives you enough pigmentation to work with. It easily allows you  brush it on very lightly to give a natural looking flush look in the summer and in the winter you can make it a little darker for that cold winter flush. I have been using this blush all year round and I have loved it. It's really been the perfect shade for me this year.

Benefit Gimmie Brow in Light / Medium - Oh wow, this is one amazing brow product. I was a bit late to this game and after rave reviews I caved and purchased it and by gosh do i not regret it. Whenever my brows are looking really worst for wear, this baby comes out leaps and bounds to sort them out. The little brush allows you to get in between those fine hairs and makes your brows look so natural, filling in those really hard to get to gaps. I use this mostly after my eyebrows have just been done to maintain the shape.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium -  I won't go on too much because ever blogger in the world has commented how good this is, i will say though i have tried a lot of concealers this year from Rimmel, Boujois, Maybelline and Revlon and not one of these has matched up to it. I may have to dip into the make up savings account for the NARS Radiant Creamy concealer at some point to see what the hype is about as that is one that gets raved about more than this one. However this is a cracking buy for concealer.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Champagne Toast - These lip glosses are so far one of the best products from any youtuber this year. This one smells and looks fantastic on the lips, it is a nude shade with sparkle and looks fantastic for any event. The gloss glides on perfectly and is not really sticky like some lip glosses i have had in the past and i rarely get my hair stuck on it. I do love this shade a lot as well as Aurora from this range. I have yet to try any of the new shades but i am sure to get my mit's on some of those.

Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Brownie Points - For a cheaper alternative to the Gimmie Brow, this one really saves the day. I love this because it tints the eyebrow with the pen side and with the waxy side, you can easily shape the brow and fill in any gaps the pen misses. I tend to use this when my eyebrows just need a little touch up.

Benefit They're Real Mascara  - I do love this Mascara as much as last year and i have only found the models co mascara that at all. This mascara makes your lashes look curly and volumised. The mascara is very easy to apply, it does however take a little bit of getting off, however for the curl and volume is gives, totally work that extra work to get it off.

Soap and Glory The Lid Stuff Eyeshadow - I've honestly reached for this little palette more than i have my naked palette this year, which will come as a shock. this little palette is perfect for a quick on the go look. I mainly use this for when i go to work because of how basic it is, i can happily wear this and still feel great with my look because it contains all you need for a professional eyeshadow look. The palette has excellent pigmentation and has a white shade for the base, brow and inner conners, a light peach tone for the lid and two brown shades which you can blend together, one has more of a glitter effect for over the top of the solid brown shade. All you need in four shades.

Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 Foundation - I have become a recent fan of bare minerals and honestly it's become the only thing i like using. The coverage is flawless, the finish is perfect and it looks like you aren't wearing any foundation. I did think a powder foundation would be difficult to apply but i do find it easier to apply than a lot of liquid foundations. I would recommend everyone who is a sceptic to try this and you would be surprised.

SKINCARE 

Botanics Shine Away Clay Mask -  A great affordable mask that i have been loving this year. This mask has really kicked my spots and blemishes to the curb whenever my face starts to break out. The mask is easy to apply and easy to wash off the face. This is a top mask and really good value for money. This one has really been a great staple to my summer mask routine.

Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Self Heating Deep Poor Detox Mask - I love this mask more for the winter months as it really does warm up your face and really keeps deep into the pours and claws the dirt out. I love the self heating beads the most and when you have had a rough day and all you want to do is feel cosy and warm and need to clean your face, this product is perfect.

Dr Organic Rose Otto Night Cream - I love this natural moisturiser and I haven't found anything else that I like, like it. This makes my skin feel positively flourished after use and it helps keep my blemishes at bay as I sleep. The smell of this does smell a little old fashioned, a bit like pot popery.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Jelly - Oh this is marvellous, i alternate this with my moisturiser and my skin feels so hydrated. I suffer from dry skin from time to time and this is the only thing that rectify's it.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisturising Facial Serum  -  It was my favourite last year and has been my favourite this year. In pair with the moisture jelly, this makes my skin so hydrated and soft and gives it new life. I have noticed when i don't use a serum my face does break out for a little while so i will keep using this as well as another serum to alternate out. This is one amazing product, believe the hype.

Balance Me Radiance Face Oil - This is one of the best facial oils around and the handy roller ball which you can buy from the balance me site, makes it easier to apply on the face. I really don't like putting the oil on your hands and the hands getting all sticky and more on your hands than the face. This oil helps to repair my skin and also makes my face glow. Oil's are not to be missed out these are amazing products.

 Caudalie Beauty Elixir - Beauty Elixir is a hyped product and deserves it, this water spray is fantastic at giving your face radiance and life when it is looking a little dried out. This is fantastic over and under make up and will wake your face right up.

Le Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + - Spots be gone! This stuff is the stuff of the gods. Paired with a mask and a moisturiser you will have no problem at all with spots as effaclar targets and kills those red evil pimples. This is something you should always have in your collection.

 Super Facialist Vitamin C + Skins Brighter Cleansing Oil.  - If you want make up of your face and you don't want to pay for bioderma, this stuff is the business and in my opinion a heck of a lot better than these Micelular waters which really are full of so many nasty toxins. This is all natural and the oils blend together with your make up to get it off your face. It doesn't smell too bad either.

HYGEINE / OTHER - 

Japanese Cherry Blossom Eau De Toilette - Not a lot of people talk about body shop for their fragrances but i think they are wrong to think that way. The scents are just at good as anything from any other popular perfume range and better than anything from avon. This scent is such a fresh grown up scent and very floral. I really love wearing this scent and get a lot of compliments.

Sanex Sensitive Roll on Deodorant - I used to be a sure spray girl up until a few years ago, but after noticing this really wasn't doing me any favours, i tried a good few rolls on and this one is honestly the best i have ever tried. I am shocked how an earth such a cheap roll on keeps me fresh all day and beyond but it honestly is the best i have tried yet. I highly recommend this one.

Oral B 3D White Brillance - This is my favourite toothpaste of the moment, it really keeps my teeth pearly and white and protects my teeth. I used to use sensodyne but i was noticing that it was actually making my teeth and gums more sensitive, esentially defeating it's purpose so i decided to change to this one. I have no regrets.

And that is my 2014 favourites...FEW. A lot of products there that have rocked my world. I really hope that you have a great new year and maybe have found some new products to try out.

Beauty Haul - FeelUnique and Selfridges

So as it was Black Friday and Cyber Monday, i decided to have a look for some deals and see what items i could get my hands on.

I first turned to FeelUnique which had a great 15% off all items in the sale and this were the goodies i picked up 

COLAB Dry Shampoo Tokyo 200ml- I have a love hate relationship with dry shampoo and since my favourite Dove Dry Shampoo is really hard to come by, i thought i would pick up this shampoo to try.. I really hope this will be as good as i have heard many great reviews.and i have high expectations for this product, especially as this product claims to have a invisible sheer formula. 

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum 30ml - Vichy have impressed me with their shampoo and now i have ventured to see what their skincare has to hold. I have not ventured too far into serum's but since the only one i have tried has a been a few samples of BioEffect EGF serum which is sadly £125 a go for 15ml! I was on the hunt for something more in my budget.

Caudalie Moisturizing Toner 400ml - I love Caudalie, their body moisturiser and of course the most highly rated product the Beauty Elixar is one of my all time favourite product's i wanted to see what the toner was like. This is one step i usually skip in my routine and i really want to put it in, and this will give me the chance to give this a whirl. 

I also got the Loreal moisturiser sample to try and the Guerlain Perfume, which were two samples i wanted to give a shot as you can never try too many of either and i am always after a better moisturiser and a new perfume scent, so hopefully these will be ones i do like too. 

Bare mineral SPF15 Original Foundation in the shade Light - I could not believe Selfridges deal on bare mineral's this christmas for £12, which gives you a full size pot of mineral foundation (usually retails from like £18-27), I had to take up this offer and stock up as this is my favourite foundation. The offer is still on but sadly the shade changes from time to time. From the look's of offer and from my delivery it appears they are having an overstock clear out on this product, so be prepared for two completely different lids like the ones above. Both are the same product and the same shade, so do not panic when you get these.

Christmas Gift Guide - Skincare and Grooming - Men

Men are changing in the skincare and grooming world, but there are still a few of your out there who are struggling, so let's hope i can give you and your ladies a little help with that special gift for you under the tree.

Ren Grab and Go Kit - I have started with a big bang here. This 

is the Grab and go kit from REN, this pack is jamb packed with everything you need to keep your skin and hair looking prim to perfection. REN is a very popular and raved about brand by the ladies of the blogosphere so this really is fantastic for men. This pack includes a cleanser, shampoo, eye gel, body wash, conditioner, body cream, lip balm and moisturiser. I mean wow! This pack has everything you could possibly need! This kit might not be for someone who wants a simple routine but more for a man who likes to or really wants to up his skin and haircare game. So line up men, your skin and hair will feel dreamy.

Clinique for Men Essentials Kit - Clinique has stepped up to the plate and also brought two fantastic kits with all the basics here to get your skin looking Sharp. The kit includes a face wash, scrub, moisturiser and eye cream. Another fantastic kit for skin care fans or for a gift for someone who wants to take care of their skin better. This kit isn't as overwhelming as the REN and great to get you started if you feel too many products and focuses on the skincare side. I wouldn't be knocking that bauble of the tree to see this kit in a man's hands. 

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Gift Set  - I have heard a lot of men rave about this brand new styler and I can see with good reason why. The set comes with four different blades and a clear gel which makes seeing what you shave easier. This tool allows you to style and to shave your beard completely. A nice new different shaver, more close to the clean razor shave comes this pack. Get grooming.

 Joop! Homme - I know, it's Pink but this affordable priced Cologne is really masculine and fresh. It is a very woody, tree and floral scent but not at all feminine, i really like this scent and i think it is great for the younger man in your life. 

Old Spice Whitewater Gift Sets - For the older man in your life, Old Spice is a classic, but this one is the White Water range which is a little fresher and more youthful smelling than the original. I thinks this is a great upgrade of the old spice lover to give them a twist on their classic favourite. Spice up your life. 

Ralph Lauren - World of Polo - For the more sophisticated gentleman the world of polo set is a fantastic kit to top up or introduce the range of polo fragrances. This set in a lovely presentation box is a perfect gift for christmas and will make your man smell top mark.

John Lewis Grooming Tim - In the theme of Movember, maybe your man is carrying on with Decembeard. This little handy travel kit will allow your man to brush and trim that beard till it is neat and perfectly shaped. It comes with all the basic tools to keep up to the beard and hopefully allow you to avoid the prickles.

And that was my mens skincare and grooming List. Fashion Gift ideas coming soon...

Stuck for idea's to get the women in your life this christmas? Well look no further, this is my beauty and skincare gift guide for the ladies of tomorrow.

La Roche Posay Efflicar 3 Step Anti- Blemish System - I love La Roche-Posay and this three step kit to cleanse, tone and correct. This three step system is great for getting rid of acne and keeping the skin clear using a routine which cleans and tackles the acne. This is a great gift for the loyal band fan or even for someone getting into skincare. Affordable and high quality, skincare that works. I'd be hoping Santa would leave this under my tree.
