Winter Beauty Basics

                  

Well Hello there, internet individuals.
I hope this week's post finds you warm & cozy from the gail force winds, that happen to be attacking the UK currently. If I were in charge, I guess I'd say, we should all stay inside, & make a fort out of our duvets & consume our weight in hot chocolate & marshmallows. But sadly I'm not in charge. But I'll say it anyway.
This weeks post, is a little follow up from last weeks. It is my winter beauty basics. A few of these are products are new for me, but some are staple everyday favourites. I love them none the less. Like last week, I will link all the products featured in, this weeks blog, below. I've not been sponsored, to review any products. I own these products, & think their worth the monies. Boring bit over, let's begin. . . .
Starting with the base. I recently purchased Rimmel's fix perfect primer. This stuff is a beaut. Leaves my face feeling protected & dear I say, skin feeling hydrated. & leaves my foundation & powder looking pretty flawless, too. I have defiantly noticed a difference by using the prima. And would most definatly say, that by using it, it has increased my foundation's, staying power. This is all good in my books! 

 Item number two, is also a face one. It is the Kelly Brook blusher. In a peach / coral shade. It's looks & applies beautifully. It has little flecks of glitter, in it. Great for all year round use. It has a pretty bow indentation in the powder itself. My picture really doesn't do it justice. & is only £2.99 great for a little extra stocking filler, perhaps? I happened to stumble apron this range, while doing some, christmas shopping. The Kelly Brook range also includes blushes, a bronzer lipsticks, lip glosses, mascara's, brow & I believe 2 eyeshadow pallets. Which from what I've seen, all look really nice quality. From packaging to product. As well as a range of nail polishes. I was rather pleasantly surprised. All affordable, & available in New Look. 

 Now on to the lips, lushes sweet sugar lip scrub to be presis. This was a gift given too me. I have also, tried the popcorn & bubblegum flavours. But they weren't really for me. Like a lot of people my lips get dry during the winter months. But these scrubs are ace all year round. They are 100% organic & are completely edible. So if you ever need a quick sugar fix while shopping, next time, try some sugar scrub. Less calories I guess! This is defiantly, a number 1 in my winter make up bag. 

 Next on my list for my lips, is my Burt's Bees lip balm. My first encounter with Burt's bee's was from a glossy box. & since then, it's been a staple feature in my handbag. I hate having dry lips. & these are defiantly worth the buck. I have the mint & honey versions. They Leave my lips feeling smooth, yet protected from the cold weather. Along with the 2 plain lip balms. Burt's bee's also have a range of tinted lip balms. As well as a whole entirer range of bath & body stuff. When I run out of the two plain one's I currently own, the tinted one's, are on my "to try list."

 And lastly, a little glitter. If you know me, you know that I love a bit of sparkle. Whatever, time of year it is. But glitter is especially expectable during the festive session. This product is Rimmel's space dust, nail polish range. In the shade, Luna Love. I choose  this shade as I felt it was safely festive. However, all the swatches, I've seen of this collection, all look  particularly lovely. I wouldn't mind adding Total Eclipse, & Aurora to my collection too. The lasting power seems pretty good. The only draw back, I've found with this product. Is that polish feels very gritty. Something, I'm not a fan of. If applied, without a top coat. That aside, I love this polish. Perfect for the festive session.

Until next time, my friends. Unless of course I've eaten my weight in the wonderful kallo Choclate rice covered cakes, that is. xoxoxo
