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.   

L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection (Pixel Perfect) Review

                    

   

Hello there lovelies,

 As you may have concluded, this weeks post is a review post. 

It's 2013 and let me tell you, L'Oreal are on fire! With their skin care ranges, Right now. It all started with the 3 in 1 miracle water, which I totally swear by at the mo. If you would like to read more about the 3 in 1 miracle water, you can find it here…. http://oxhannah-g23ox.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/loreal-skin-perfection-3-in-1-miracle.html

So when I stumbled upon the skin perfection, pixel perfect daily moisturiser & the magic touch instant blur. I just couldn't stop myself. I had to give them a try, &  I must admit I haven't been disappointed. 

The Skin Perfection Pixel Perfect Range, has been specially developed, for younger skin. From ages  20-30.

Now the product benefits, on the Day Moisturiser, according to the packaging, claims to: "Help transform the appearance of skin quality. Pores should look virtually undetectable, evens skin tone & texture. Leaving skin feeling silky-soft. Moistures skin for up to 24 hours." 

I have been using this day moisturiser as part of my morning routine, for about a month now. And as soon as I started using it, people started complimenting me, on my complexion almost immediately. Which is just a winner in my book. 

I just wash my face, with my normal face wash, follow that up, with L'Oreal 3 in 1 miracle water, & then apply the moisturiser. I don't use to much, as I always find a little goes a long way. I apply the cream in a circular motion, always working up, as I don't want to pull my face down, as it's heading that way! What drew me, to these products most, was that I suffer from slight redness in the cheeks and some uneven texture. The cream itself, feels thick,  but after applying doesn't make your face feel like its coated with oil. & it has a lovely smell to it. I will defiantly re-buy the product. 

Moving on to the second product, I purchased from this range. The Magic Touch Instant Blur. The product claims to: "Enriched with Optical Blur Polymers the formula optically blurs the appearance of shine, pores and irregularities for a soft-focus finish." They recommend that you apply daily. Alone or after moisturiser. Targets pores, on nose, chin & areas that are prone to shine. It also say's it's an excellent base for make-up. I must confess, I don't use this product on a daily basis. I tend to use it as the latter. It works as a wonderful base coat, for foundation, or even if you just want, to go for a light look. And wanted to, use a little concealer and power. The tube isn't massive, so again, it's a case of less is more. I tend to apply it to cheeks, nose and chin. The texture of the cream is thick, but velvety smooth, once applied. I feel that it softens my skin texture, giving me a smoother finish overall. 

I would defiantly would recommend this Skin range, I know boots often have 3 for 2 on these ranges, and if you're looking for a new moisturiser I would defiantly recommend this one.  Also part of this range is the: Advanced correcting serum- which is next on the shopping list. Awaking eye cream & the 5 in 1 BB Cream.

L'oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Miracle Water

I don't know about you, but I've been hearing quit a lot, about miracle waters lately, Bioderma, in particular. And as it's not readerly available in the UK yet, I have been on the lookout for something, a little more on my doorstep, with an affordable price tag, to boot. 

[In this economic climate & all that jazz. Plus, I alway's feel like I have won, a tiny victory, if I have got a product for half the price! I can buy this blusher and nail varnish too, type dealieo.]

So when I herd, about the new L'oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Miracle Water. I jumped at the chance to give it a go.  

A little bit about the product;

It is a high performance cleanser, for sensitive skin. It removes all traces of make- up, any excess oils and also clears pores.

All I can say is, I have been using it for about a week & a half, and I am in love with this product! All you have to do is apply, some to a cotton pad, morning & evening and wipe over your face. 

I have combination skin, which can flair up, quiet dramatically to certain products. So I am always cautious when trying new unfamiliar products.  

So I tend to stick to creamy / balm type face washes. As these tend to work best for me.

But this my friends, looks, feels & smells exactly like water. It leaves my skin feeling soft, clean, & refreshed after use, & doesn't seem to dry out parts of my skin either!

Now, onto the make-up removal. I must admit, I really hate taking off my make-up. Especially around my eyes/lids area. I hate having to feel like, I am pulling at my eyelashes or having the residue of a product left behind in my eye! Ouch!

But with the 3 in 1 miracle water, there isn't any of that. I just place 2 pads with the water on over my eyes, for all of 10 seconds, and voilà! Traces of mascara & liquid eyeliner completely gone. With no panda eye smudging underneath either, result!

All in all, I would defiantly recommend this product, and with the miracle price tag of £4.99, who can say no to that? Not me, that's for sure!
