Spring Favourites

                               

Hi Guy's

If you didn't already notice, spring has arrived!

And instead of doing a monthly favourites, I figured I'd do a spring favourites, because why not?

In no particular order, just some  little bit's and bob's that I've been loving of late. 

Firstly, Peach body butter, from the body shop. I don't often purchase thing's for myself from the body shop, don't ask me why, I always go in, & look & smell all the lovely thing's but I don't often end up  taking anything home.  But I couldn't resist this. It is so creamy, & feels so luxurious. But the smell is de-vine. I can only describe the smell, as the smell of fizzy peaches, which are my all time fav sweets by the way.. =]

Second on my list, is the Rimmel London, salon pro nail polis,  in the colour 'cocktail passion' it's a beautiful corral pink, brilliant for this time of year. I love the Rimmel salon pro formula. It reminds me of shellac, it applies really super nicely, I can't recommend these enough. They claim to be chip resistant for 10 days, I will say I feel that they are long lasting, however I wouldn't say 10 whole days. Especially if you have housework to be doing. 

Thirdly onto the lips, and oh my day's, these are just beautiful! I can whole heartedly assure you, that I will be adding to my  minute collection very shortly. But in the meantime, the product I am head over heels about, is the L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Colour Riche, in the shade 201 Rose Symphony. The idea behind these liquid lipsticks are that they colour like a lipstick, with a shine like a lipgloss but leaving you're lips feeling soft like a balm. The colour range, of these liquid lipsticks, range from pinky nudes, to brighter bold reds. & are just brilliantly long lasting, great for any occasions. 

The last beauty product, for my spring favourites. Is the Charles Worthington Volume & bounce texturising spray, from the salon at home range. I cannot give Charles Worthington enough love, I love their hair care range, and it's always on a 3 for 2, at Boot's. Like a dry shampoo, you shake the can well, before use. Spray the texturising spray onto dry roots, ruffle with you're fingers and you're ready to go. It gives you're hair great lift & volume.

 I've been hearing a lot on the grapevine, that the Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce texturising spray, is a great drugstore dupe for the Oribe dry texturing spray. So if you fancy saving some pennies with you're haircare, here's a good place to start. 

Lastly on my Spring favourites, is quickly becoming an addiction. & it's probably caffeine related. It is the Beanies flavoured instant coffee, So far I have made my way through, cinder toffee, Caramel & double chocolate flavours, of these jars of loveliness. They have a really wide verities of flavours, on offer. With no syrup or chemicals. Sugar free and suitable for vegetarians & vegans. Means that most of them are calorie free, but still taste amazing.

That's it for my spring favourites, hope you liked it.   

Budget Winter Body Favourites

                                          

Well it's that time of year again... There's defiantly a nip, in the air.  It's time to layer up, every time you need to venture out, into the wilderness, from underneath the comfy-ness of your duvet.  A lot like our exteriors, needing to be wrapped up under some funky knit wear. I feel pretty much the same, about my hair & skin. As the whether, gets colder I feel they need just a little bit more TLC, than usual.

So I thought I would include my current winter beauty & body favs. Starting with some of my winter body fav's. As it's the run up to xmas, all the products I've included are all just about, under a £10!  No need to Thank me. ;)

 Starting from top to bottom! First on my list, is a new hair care discovery of mine. Curiosity of Lush. It is the American Cream conditioner. Firstly, I love Lush, & many of their wonderfully fun products, but I must confess, I usually visit them most during the gifting period. I herd many good things about the American Cream conditioner, & as I'm a blonde, I usually find my hair ends up feeling a tad rough & dry during this time of year. & this stuff is a god send! It left my hair feeling super duper, soft & smelling great! This might sound a bit OTT, but after the first use, my hair felt like I'd had a trip to the salon. Not bad, for £4.50. As it was a "new" purchase for me I only committed to the small bottle. But I can assure you, when this baby run's out I shall be re-purchasing in the larger size.

The next product, on my list, is pretty much a staple favourite of mine all year round. But especially lovely at this time of year. It is the Soap & Glory Smoothie Star - deepest moisturiser body milk. It smells of oats & honey. It just smells  so comforting & yummy. & leaves your skin silky smooth. It's currently on a 3 for 2 offer at Boots right now. If you love Soap & Glory as much as I do, this is the perfect opportunity to stock up of you're favourites! 

Next, is a winter body wash. From Beauticology called chocolate cupcake. Beauticology is an extension of the Baylis & Harding company. This particular body wash,  actually comes, from a little gift set.  Available in Boots or Tesco. I'm not usually a fan, of chocolate smelling scents, but this one breaks the rule, for me. It smells good, if I was going to liken it to a scent, I'd say an indulgent chocolate truffle, perhaps. I've found a little goes a long way, & it sparkles. What else need I say?

The next product on my list, is a winter essential for me. It's hand cream! Like my hair, my hands tend to get dry during the winter months. This hand cream is from Avon. This particular hand cream, is non scented. For normal / dry skin. It leaves your hands feeling soft, for a fair amount of time. But not slippery. Meaning you that your left unable to use them, until the cream has dried.You don't need to use a ton of it, too feel the benefit & it's good for your nails too! & to top it off it's a bargain.

Last but not least, on my winter body fav's is also a new Lush discovery, for me. It is the catastrophe cosmetic fresh face mask. My god, this is a treat for the face. I mean that in every literal way possible. This is a fresh face mask which means, it needs to be stored in the fridge! As I have sensitive skin, after a lengthy discussion with my local sales assistant, & after some trying, testing & prodding we decided this was the one for me. This face mask, is full of blueberries, chamomile & Irish moss. Whatever that maybe. But it all works. So you don't hear me, complaining. How to use the mask, is pretty self explanatory. You apply the product, generously to you're face, avoiding you're mouth & eyes. You can leave it on for 5 -10 minutes. I tend to leave it on for 10. & rinse off with warm water. You maybe worrying like I did, about the products shelf life, it being fresh & all. But if stored correctly, the product should last over a month.

 Hope you enjoyed this weeks post, I will link all the products below. For you to all browse! xox
