Drugstore Gem Series - L'Oreal PARIS 3-IN-1 Micellar Soloution

Drugstore Gem Series - L'Oreal PARIS 3-IN-1 Micellar Soloution

Hi Lovelies!

I hope you are doing well ? - I have been enjoying a couple of days off, as well as getting used to my new car that I got just under a week ago. Today's post is going to be about the L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-in-1 Micellar Solotuion. Recently, this product has been appearing all over the blogosphere, so I wanted to let you all know what I thought about it as well. I have tried quite a few Micellar Solutions now from Avene, Vichy and Bioderma, but in all honesty this is absolutely my favourite. I'm sure you lovelies all know about Bioderma and its cult following, but for me the Micellar was good! but it didn't leave a lasting effect on me like the L'oreal Skin Perfection did. I have been loving it in the evening as a pre cleanse, and then in the morning for a quick cleanse when I'm in a rush. I hope you enjoy this post lovelies, and as always I'm here to chat too if you need any help or advice.

About

L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water, high performance cleansing for sensitive skin. 

Used by make-up artists, the 'micellar' solution swiftly removes all traces of make-up and acts like a purifying magnet on skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impuritiesSo gentle, skin feels soothed and toned. Hypo-allergenic. No Alcohol. Dermatologically tested.

Review

This is definitely a drugstore gem! It is fantastic at cleansing, toning and soothing the skin.. just like it claims on the bottle. It is one of the only products that I have ever used that has caused no irritation what so ever to the eye area, and in fact I use this to remove my eye-makeup over my actual eye-makeup remover. It removes make-up better than some of my expensive cleansers, and It does leave my skin feeling toned and soothed.

I use this every single day usually as a pre-cleanse at night and then a quick cleanse in the morning and my skin has been left feeling completely soothed and ready to go! I do tend to follow up with my Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner in the morning, as this acts as a second phase cleanser as well as insuring my PH levels are back to normal after cleansing. The packaging is super sleek and I love that its not a typical round bottle, as it just makes it look a little more interesting on my beauty table. I also like the White and Pink combination, as it makes it look nice and pretty :D ( I'm a sucker for cute things)

I will 100% be re-purchasing this product as it has already become a staple and even replaced my Clarins Peach Water Cleanser! the fact that it doesn't have scent is also amazing for girls/guys with sensitive skin, which makes this product even better. I would totally recommend this product in an instant, and I think this will be great to travel with when I go to Florida in two weeks time.

Overall ?

For around £3.33 I think that this is an absolute bargain! especially for a product that works just as well as some high end products. In my opinion its better than the Bioderma Solotuion as it does a really similar job for a fraction of the price. When I was using Bioderma I found my skin didn't feel completely comfortable after use, in comparison to my skin feeling soft and settled after using the L'Oreal soloution. Thumbs up for L'Oreal! - I would love to hear your opinons about this product, as loads of people are talking about it right now :D - Take care dolls!

Belated Birthday Post - 21st

Belated Birthday Post - 21st

Hi Beauties!

I literally forgot that I had even written this post, as I have been super busy with work and uni commitments. However, two weeks ago I was able to finally pick up my very belated birthday present with my dad and boyfriend. I was supposed to get my new car in June, but due to a new model coming out I decided to wait and get it, as it seemed silly not to wait a few months to get the new model. It was such an exciting day and I was greeted with Drinks and Flowers, and I felt like a million dollars. My birthday in May seems like SO long ago now, but I had such a lovely day and had some money, mullberry goodies and a gorgeous cake! - I'm absolutley loving my new car and I'm forever grateful to my amazing parents! - I even managed to take my roof down for a day or two, but with the chilly Autumn weather I can definitley say I think the roof will stay up till next spring now haha.

Overall I have had an amazing birthday and year! and to top it off I'm flying out to Florida next week with my birthday money to do some serious shopping! So hopefully I will come back with loads of little goodies, as well as a cheeky USA themed giveaway!

HAUL POST - ❤Benefit && ORIGINS❤

HAUL POST - ❤Benefit && ORIGINS❤

Hi Lovelies! 

I had such an amazing day last Saturday with my lovely girlie Hannah. Me and Hannah both work at the spa, and have literally become such good friends! We have loads in common. Firstly, we were both very brave and ventured to the cinema to watch the conjuring!! Or should I say we hid under my jumper throughout most of the film, coming out for an occasional nibble on our popcorn and a quick sip of our tango blasts haha. Anyway, we decided on something a little more light hearted this time, so we headed to the city for cocktails and shopping! Totally a sex in the city moment haha. It was literally such a fun day and we enjoyed a couple of cheeky cocktails, a nice lunch and on my behalf some tipsy beauty shopping oops haha. However, at least my cheeky splurge will hopefully be a good read for all my lovely followers’ hehe. My little haul from the other day was definitely cocktail induced, as I can just remember picking up everything on a whim and just handing my card over haha. I then come back to go out for a lovely steak at Miller & Carter followed by the cinema with my boyfriend, so as you can imagine yesterday was quite an expensive one haha. 

First stop... Benefit’s Beauty Counter! 

Prior to checking out the Benefit beauty counter I had actually instructed Hannah not to allow me to buy anything... Hmm that did not work haha. I ended up coming back with a few goodies two of which I have used before.. So I was just stocking up ;) haha 

Benefit Girl Meets Pearl  £24.50

I have used this product once before, as I brought it in Florida a few years ago. It’s definitely a product I regret waiting so long to re-purchase, as I really loved it and literally used every last drop of my first tube. I don’t actually know why I didn’t re purchase it, but I think it was down to me getting more into make-up and blogging, which meant I wanted to experiment and try more than just one product. Since this product I have had other highlighters from Benefit, NARS, Chanel and YSL to name a few, but this is still the highlighter that comes to mind, as being my #1.  

This highlighter does it all for me! It’s like the baby of Moon Beam & High Beam. It has a Pink tint, with Golden shimmer which makes it so versatile for an array of skin tones. It definitely gives the skin a WOW factor, but without being glittery like a disco ball. The shimmer is very finely milled, and a touch of this product can also be added to your daily foundation to give you more of a fresh and radiant complexion. I’m literally so excited to be the owner of Girl Meets Pearl once again! Let me know if you would like a detailed review sweetie’s? 

Benefit They’re Real £19.50

They’re Real has fast become one of the most popular and best selling mascara’s in the world, and rightly so as it really is a fantastic mascara. This is my third tube now, as I tend to dip in and out of Chanel, YSL & Benefit when it comes to mascaras. However, They’re Real is a mascara I always really look forward to using again. It’s genuinely one of the only products that really does what it says on the box. I purchased the two pack, as it was fantastic value! But I gave the little one to my friend Hannah, as she really wanted to try it out. 

Benefit Brow Zing £23.50

OMG! This has been on my wish list for the longest time ever. I actually ordered it on Debenhams a few months ago, but they totally messed up my order and didn’t actually send it. To save hassle I just got a refund, but never actually went back to buy it. However, when I was at the Benefit Counter I decided that I needed to try it out and see if I really wanted it. I also made a lovely new friend at the counter, and I’m super excited as she is showing her manager my blog! – Anyway, I ended up getting Medium as the Dark was just a little too dark and a little fake looking on me. My make-up is always very natural in the day, and it’s on really on special occasions that I will go the extra mile to stand out! – I was so impressed with Browzings, and I loved all the little tools it came with! I can’t wait to try this little beauty out and review it fully. 

Moving onto Origins!  

I’m sure if you have seen my instagram lately you would have seen the amount of skin care I have been investing in, which include – Emma Hardie, Clarins, Elemis and Origins. Anyway! I had a small sample of The Drink up Intensive mask and I loved it so much that I knew I was in need of a full size! + I really fancied trying out the spot treatment! 

Origins Drink Up Intense Overnight Mask £22.00 

I made a cheeky Origins purchase a few weeks ago, which included the famous Clear Improvements Mask, Eye Doctor and a few other little goodies. I was also lucky to get an Origins Drink Up Intense Sample and after three uses I knew that I was sold! And totally in love with this overnight treatment. The scent is to die for, and reminds me of a delicate fruity peach. It also leaves my skin perfectly conditioned, as well as radiant and plump in the morning. 

 

REVEAL - Exclusive Chanel Classic Jumbo Flap GHW

REVEAL - Exclusive Chanel Classic Jumbo Flap GHW

Hi Beauties!

I have literally just come back from Florida and OMG I'm already having withdrawal symptoms. I feel absolutley horrible and quite depressed after leaving gorgeous sunshine, shopping and loads of fun behind. Today's post is going to be one of the most exciting posts I have ever written, and I can definitely say that Disneyland does make dreams come true! I have a feeling this is going to be quite a lengthy post, as I have been itching to write this exciting post for you lovelies, so hopefully you can share my excitement haha. If you don't already know I am a total beauty, lifestyle and handbag addict. Me my mum and two sisters have our own individual collections, which is amazing as we often swap them around. I have also been very lucky to receive some vintage pieces from my mums collection, which I have added to my growing handbag collection. 

Anyway! There has been one bag on my mind for the longest time, and it is a bag that has become so sought after that even celebrities are going on wait lists. The Chanel Classic Jumbo Handbag is probably one of the if not the most classic handbag of all time. The "Flap" bag comes in different variations, but it was the first successful design that Coco Chanel ever released. The original version was constructed of jersey or leather, the outside featuring a hand-stitched quilted design influenced by the jackets worn by jockeys. The chain strap was a nod to her orphanage years, reminiscent to Chanel of the abbey caretakers who wore such waist chains to hold keys. The burgundy red uniform worn by the convent girls was transmuted into the bag's interior lining.

I first started properly pursuing this handbag in July this year, as my parents wanted to get it for me as a 21st Birthday Present, but it had become so rare that it was impossible to find at the time of my birthday. I decided to get in contact with my Chanel SA Bettina in Florida, who had previously sold me and my mum a few Chanel goodies including my PST. Bettina made me aware of how exclusive these handbags were especially with the Gold Hardware, which is exactly what I wanted. However, I kept in regular contact with Chanel, and Bettina assured me she would do her very best to get me my dream jumbo. Anyway, it came to the time to finally get on the plane to Florida and see if I had been lucky enough to get the handbag. The day before I had been given some not so great news, as it seemed that the bags might have become unavailable for purchase. As you can imagine I was quite upset, but at the same time I was so so grateful to be having such an amazing time in Florida with my family and boyfriend.

The next day I decided to venture into Chanel anyway to see Bettina and also to have a look around the boutique. I can honestly say that when Bettina revealed she did have a Jumbo for me I was actually speechless and I was totally surprised. However! the drama didn't end there as Bettina told me that they had maxed out the amount of Gold Hardware Jumbo's that they could sell, but they still had a Silver Hardware Jumbo available (which was lovely) but I had my heart set on the Gold Hardware as it is truly classic and goes with everything in my wadrobe haha. The next thing I knew another SA come over and said that she hadn't actually received the official paperwork to say that they weren't allowed to sell me the last GHW Jumbo. So as you can imagine we rushed the payment through and moments after the paper work came down to say that they weren't allowed to sell another handbag! OMG talk about having luck on my side :O - I was already feeling totally spoilt at this time, but then my parents also knew how much I wanted some Chanel Ballet Flats and let me choose a pair which I will do a separate post about soon. If that wasn't enough two girls came into the store asking about a Black Caviar Jumbo with GHW and I had just brought it.. so I felt totally blessed to actually own such an exclusive handbag. 

As you can imagine I am extremely grateful to receive such beautiful gifts from my parents, and I can't wait to do some Autumn/Winter inspired fashion posts for you. I know this has been one hell of a lengthy post, but I'm sure you understand how excited I am haha! literally like a big kid right now and I still can't believe that I own such an amazing handbag. I just realised that the bag was actually more expensive in Florida due to tax, which made it the same price as the Maxi which is a size above, but the  jumbo is my perfect size :D  It still feels unreal to actually have been lucky enough to get this bag when there are celebrities waiting for them - Being a true handbag addict I do have some other purchases in mind so keep your eyes out for them in the future. I am going to stop with my rambling now and get into a picture post :D

Initial Thoughts - YSL Youth Liberator Foundation B30

Initial Thoughts - YSL Youth Liberator Foundation B30

Hi Lovelies!

Finally.. a nice couple of hours for me to get some blogging done! The other day I received a package from the postman and guess what it was the brand new YSL Youth Liberator Foundation!! Woohoo :D - I find buying new foundations fun, but quite scary at the same time as there is always that element of will it suit me, or will it break me out. However, I'm sure we all know how well known YSL are for their fabulous make-up line, and their amazing foundations and lipsticks. Last year we celebrated the launch of the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation and it quickly became a favourite of mine, it's literally like a light bulb in a bottle, as it makes you look so awake and perfected with quite a light coverage. However, the recent foundation release by YSL brings us a more skin care based foundation, with higher coverage than the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation. I hope you enjoy this initial thoughts post, which is just going to be me explaining a bit more about the foundation, and how I have found my first couple of uses. As always beauties, make sure you leave your questions, links and comments in the section below. I love hearing from all my fantastic followers, and don't forget I'm only a tweet away if you need me for any advice.

 

YSL Youth Liberator Foundation - About

(YSL) The first serum-foundation by Yves Saint Laurent to use the unique Glycanactif complex. This foundation revives skins youthful brightness and creates a more uniform complexion. Skin looks firmer and wrinkles appear clearly diminished, while the creamy coverage makes your complexion look beautifully even and rejuvenated. The Foundation is based on the fantastic YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum, which has won numerous awards for its amazing complex

 

• About the Youth Liberator Serum
• 100 YEARS OF RESEARCH – 7 NOBEL PRIZES – 1 DISCOVERY : GLYCANS, YOUTH KEYSFOREVER YOUTH LIBERATOR is the first anti-ageing skincare by Yves Saint Laurent containing the Glycanactif™ complex, a combination of 3 glycans, to help stimulate skin's youthful capacities at the 3 levels of the skin.This elixir has the highest concentration of Glycanactif™ in the range to stimulate¹ regeneration deep within the skin and boost youth- promoting functions.
• 2 out 3 women chose to give up their usual serum³.

• The Shade B30
• I actually chose the shade B30 in the Touche Eclat Foundation, and found it worked really well for my skin tone last winter, so that is why chose to stick with the same shade in this foundation. The Shade B30 leans quite Yellow, but that is the main reason why I like the shade so much. Foundations that are yellow toned always create a much fresher and healthy looking appearance in comparison to Pink toned foundations that actually oxidise a lot more than Yellow toned foundations, which means you are more likely to get make-up lines and a more orangey tone with Pink based foundations. Bobbi Brown also says that Yellow toned foundations are better, as believe it or not even if you are very pale or very dark, we all have Yellow tones to our skin. B30 would be a great shade for anyone with light to medium tones who range between B20-B30 (Chanel, YSL Shades) - You can always use the website Findation for more advice about foundation shades

❤ORIGINS❤ Clear Improvements & Drink Up Intensive Mini Reviews

❤ORIGINS❤ Clear Improvements & Drink Up Intensive Mini Reviews

Hi Beauties!

Tonight's post is going to be a complete rave about two amazing face masks... yep you guessed it ;) Origins Clear Improvements & Drink Up Intensive! Both masks have certainly got themselves a fantastic name throughout the beauty industry and blogosphere. Origins are well know for their amazing skincare, but even more so for their super duper amazing face masks. I wanted to feature these products together with mini reviews first of all, as I have been using them for a few weeks now. However, I will also be doing more in-depth single reviews in a few months time, so make sure you keep and eye out for them lovelies. Firstly, I purchased the Clear Improvements mask purely on blogger's recommendations, and then I purchased Drink Up Intensive, as I totally fell in love with a sample I got with my Origins order. I have been using my Clear Improvements mask on a Sunday night to completely clear out my skin from the previous week, and then I have been using my Drink Up Intensive to give me that much needed mid-week boost. Since using these masks in conjunction I have honestly noticed such a big big difference in my skin, and I'm just annoyed with myself that I didn't get around to trying them both sooner. However, I will quit with my rambling! because I'm sure you would much rather me get into the review haha! Hope you enjoy lovelies, and I would love for you to leave your comments/links in the comments section below. 

Origins Clear Improvements Mask £22.00

The Origins Clear Improvements Mask is designed to completely clean up the skin. The active Charcoal within this Mask acts as a dirt magnet to completely de-clog your pores, which leaves your skin totally clear. The White China Clay also helps to absorb pollutants, and lecithin dissolves impurities. If you are looking to clarify your skin, then this mask is an absolutely the right one to go with. I have been loving using this mask on a Sunday night to completely cleanse my skin from the previous week, and to make sure that any build up has been completely removed for the week ahead.

The mask has a thick consistency and is very Dark in colour (Might be something to do with the Charcoal haha) - Once applied it does set quite hard on the skin, but I quite like this as it feels like it really is pulling the dirt right out of your pores. Despite it being quite a heavy mask I find that it washes off quite easily, and its best to open the pores with a warm flannel..then close the pores with a cold splash after applying the mask. Overall, this mask is absolutely amazing and does exactly what it says on the tube! 

Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask £22.00

After using up a free sample of this mask I can definitely see why it is one of Origins all time best sellers. I was instantly sold on the gorgeous peachy scent, but after a few uses I realised it had much more to offer than just a pleasant smell. Japanese Seaweed helps to repair the skins barriers to help prevent dehydration, as well as creating a moisture reservoir for the next day.

I tend to use this maximum of twice a week to really give my skin a much needed mid-week boost, so this is usually my Wednesday mask haha! I use a thin layer just before bed, and its creamy formula makes it a luxurious bed time treat. Even though this mask is quite thick and creamy it does sink in to the skin really nicely, without leaving any residue at all. I wake up the next morning with plump, radiant and beautifully moisturised skin. I would recommend this mask for all skin types as even oily skin needs to be kept moisturised. I think that together these masks are (expensive) but an amazing way to give your skin exactly what it needs... a good clear out, but also a good treat.

Overall ?

Without a doubt two of the best face masks I have ever used! they are expensive at £22.00 but I would say 100% worth it. They both have something to offer, but more importantly they deliver exactly what they say they do. Origins now do smaller sizes of these masks, so you can get 50ml for £11.00 plus some free samples on the website. If you are more oily then I would definitely go for the Clear Improvements, and I would honestly recommend the Drink Up Intensive for all skin types. If you are combination like me, then you will definitely appreciate both masks. I honestly couldn't pick a favourite, as they are both so amazing! - My skincare routine has never been better thanks to these beauties.

NARS - Adult Content Limited Edition Palette & Turkish Delight -

NARS - Adult Content Limited Edition Palette & Turkish Delight -

Hi Lovelies! 

The other day I went on a bit of a pre holiday shopping spree! I ask myself why I spend so much money before holiday? And why don’t I just save up my money haha. Anyway, I actually made it my mission to make sure I popped into see my lovely friend Megan, who works at the NARS counter. I had spoken to Megan and she told me about a new palette they had in, which sounded right up my street! – It was super lovely to see Megan again, as we previously made friends when I visited NARS and found out we were both bloggers *yay* so it would be great if you could check out her blog link Phazestyle. Anyway, Megan was right the palette was beautiful and just what I needed to take on holiday with me! I also picked up a cheeky lipgloss, which I have been dying to get my hands on for ages. The gloss I picked up is actually Kim K’s favourite (love her or hate her) but her make-up is always flawless, and her lips are always a beautiful milky pink shade. Today’s post is going to be a bit of a show and tell, as I have not tried either of the products yet, but don’t worry! I will be back with a full review of both products after my trip to Florida. As always my lovelies, feel free to comment below and also to leave your blog links for me to have a look at! 

Adult Content Palette!  £30.00

WOW! This palette is total NARS overload and may I add a great way to try out some fabulous NARS blush/bronze/highlight shades if you haven’t tried anything from NARS before. Also a quick mention to the rather naughty name of this palette! But I’m sure we are all used to NARS and their cheeky product names by now haha. The palette consists of my FAVOURITE NARS blush “Deep Throat” so that was an instant bonus for me, as its such a versatile blush shade. I was also really impressed by the three other shades, which create the perfect palette for doing everything you need! Blush, Bronzing and Highlighting! 

ZEN – NARS ZEN is a natural Beige Blush, which can definitely be used as a bronzer, and I can imagine it will make a fantastic contour shade. 

MISS LIBERTY – is a stunning shimmering Peach, which can be used to highlight the face 

DEEP THROAT – An all round perfect blush shade with a perfect balance of shimmery Pink and Peach 

DESIRE – A perfect pop of Cotton Candy Pink, which would be fantastic for creating a bolder look 

I have used quite a few NARS products now and I’m in love with the quality of all of their products, especially the textures of their blushes. I can’t wait to use this palette and let you all know what I think, this palette is actually limited edition, so if you are interested I would totally recommend you visiting your local NARS counter, or ordering it online.  

NARS Turkish Delight Lipgloss  £17.00

This is a product that has been raved about for so long now, but as I have a large lip-gloss collection I never really felt like I needed to purchase it. However, now the autumn/winter is coming upon us (a little too quickly) I decided to treat myself to this lovely and highly rated lip-gloss from NARS. Turkish Delight is a beautiful Milky Baby Pink, which is a firm favourite of Kim Kardashian. It has slightly cool undertones, which means that it will suit quite a lot of skin tones. I go crazy for this kind of colour during the winter, as I think with flawless make-up it looks absolutely amazing in the cold crisp weather.  

Hope you have enjoyed this show and tell post lovelies! I would love to know what you think about these products ? and is there any NARS products you would like to try ? or perhaps any you could recommend me! Don’t forget to leave your comments, links and questions below :) as I love hearing from all my loyal and supportive followers. 

The Battle Of The Herbal Teas!

The Battle Of The Herbal Teas!

Hi Lovelies!

I'm finally home for a few days now after being at work over the weekend and early part of the week. I have SO many beauty products I want to write about, but after sitting down at my laptop and drinking my Twinings Purify, I decided that is what I wanted to blog about today. I do so much beauty and skincare, and occasionally I like to talk about other stuff I like to keep it nice and interesting for you beauties. I must admit working at a spa has totally turned me into a herbal tea junkie.. and they actually don't taste half as bad as you might think. However, they can take some getting use to if your a traditional tea kinda gal! and Pure Green Tea is quite hard to get used to, but at the same time herbal tea's are so good for your insides. There is so much choice of teas these days, which makes it a little easier to find one to your taste! - I hope you enjoy this slightly different review, I will be talking about my three favourite teas out of all the ones I have tried! - let me know if you have ever tried any herbal teas lovelies, as it would be great to hear your thoughts! also don't forget to leave your links in the comments section below :)

Twinings - Purify 1st Place

Purify is a great place to start as this blend is so light and airy and really enjoyable to drink. The main ingredients are Aloe, Nettle and Cucumber which makes it fantastic for clearing out your system, as Nettle is one of the best ingredients for herbal tea as it contains so many vital vitamins/minerals, as well as rejuvenating your system. It's also great for problem skin, as nettle detoxifies your kidneys.. which then means that your skin appears clearer. Cucumber and Aloe also both have fantastic properties, but I find they help to make this herbal tea so nice to drink. It somehow makes you feel relaxed, but rejuvenated at the same time!

Pukka Night Time - 2nd Place
Pukka is another really lovely herbal tea brand and offers loads of variety, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to give Pukka a try. Pukka Night Time features Oat Flower, Lavender and Lime Flower. Oat Flower and Lavender is known for being calming and nourishing, and Lime Flower helps to settle the mind. I have been loving this tea before bed and I would defiantly say  that this helps to relax me just before bed. I also like that its not just the traditional Lavender and Chamomile, as it makes this tea different from all the other ones that you can buy.

Pukka Mint Green Tea 3rd Place
I'm sure most of you have heard the endless benefits of Green Tea, but its also in my opinion one of the less nicer tasting ones. Green Tea is fantastic for weight loss, improving you immune system and much more. I find that the infusion of mint from the Pukka Mint Green Tea really helps to make this easier to drink, but at the same time you are getting Green Tea Benefits and an uplift from the mint. If you are a bit scared of Green Tea or just don't like the taste, then the Pukka Mint Green Tea would be a great option.

Overall

Herbal Teas are a much better option than normal tea! as they have so many benefit and also perfect to combine with your fitness routine. However, they aren't to everybody's taste haha! but I would definitely recommend just stopping by when your at the supermarket, and seeing if any take your fancy. Twinings and Pukka tend to range anywhere from the £2-£3 mark, but there are occasionally offers at the supermarket.
