It’s that time of month again when everyone says ‘omg
where has the month gone?!’
Well no seriously, where has the month gone? I guess I
just don’t like this time of year because it means it’s the end of my university
semester and means only one thing, coursework and exams :(! This also explains
my lack of posts recently as I have just been buried in all my work, so apologies!
But.. I have managed to peel myself away and have a
little breather and here are the products I have been enjoying this month :)!
Urban Decay Naked Palette
I have mentioned this palette before in my ‘How To: Gold
Smokey Eyes and Plum Lips’ post. This is my go to palette at the moment as it
has all the colours I want to use which is convenient. The colours are super
pigmented and are also really easy to blend which is a must! Love love love
this palette as you can create a lot of different looks with the colours.
MAC Rebel Lipstick
If you have me on Instagram you will know that I am
loving this lipstick! Ever since I bought it last summer I have been wearing it
at least once a week. I feel that it compliments my skin tone well and the
shade of the colour is versatile depending on how many layers you apply and how
heavy. The finish is Satin which is nice to apply to the lips as it is neither
drying nor too creamy.
Effaclar Duo & AI
These two products were mentioned in my ‘February Favourites’
which means they must be doing something good. I have really felt a difference
since using these two La Roche-Posay products; I am not breaking out as much as
I use to and for me the Effaclar A.I is really good for treating spots.
Escentual are still selling La Roche-Posay products at a discounted price so
make sure you check them out before the offer ends.
Embryolisse
I have read about this cream on a few blogs and thought I
would give it a go. My father went on a business trip to France so I asked him
to pick up some Bioderma H20 cleanser and also the Embryolisse 24 Hour MiracleCream as they are cheaper in French Pharmacys compared to the UK. I have been
using this as my morning moisturiser and only using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar
duo at night. This cream is seriously amazing! It’s like a 2-in-1, it’s a
primer as well as a moisturiser. My skin feels amazing after I apply it and
also makes my foundation look flawless over it. I have had a lot of people tell
me my skin has been looking good and for once I can actually say it’s my
moisturiser! I am able to wear less foundation now as it makes my skin look and
feel good! Also I don’t know if it just me but the cream always stays quite
chilled which may be due to the packaging, so when I apply it to my face in the
morning it feels really refreshing!
Blistex Intensive Moisturiser Hydrating Lip Cream
I have started to reuse this product as it was neglected
and lost for a while due to its size. I really enjoy using this as the product
once squeezed out is more like a cream rather than a gel formulation. It glides
on really smoothly and makes your lips tingle, a little bit like Carmex does. A
word of advice, when applying you need to remember that it comes out white until
rubbed in well. I found out the hard way, walking around for 5 minutes with
white lips until I looked in a mirror *doh*! However I do assure you it does
become clear after blending in. The product has a minty fragrance which I was a
bit put off by at first but it does not bother me anymore. This moisturiser
does what it says on the tin (tube) and leaves my lips flake free, smooth and definitely
moisturised. Also a bonus is that it has SPF 10!
The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector
When I first purchased this cream I hated it with a passion as
I couldn’t stand the smell! My hands get ridiculously dry in the cold and trust
me it has been outrageously cold recently so I thought I would have a crack at
it! It comes out as a green thick cream which blends into the hands very easily
and moisturises really well. As I can’t stand the smell but love the product I
lather my hands with it at night, so that I can wake up to lovely soft
moisturised hands. I have seen the rose hand cream online but I just don’t feel
it will live up to the quality of the hemp hand protector.
Sugar Crush Bath and Body Shower Foam & Body Scrub
Sugar Crush Bath and Body Shower Foam & Body Scrub
They smell B E A U T
I F U L! They remind me of the green lime Starburst *mouth waters*. The body wash is just so yummy that I want to eat it all up! It leaves my skin
feeling really soft and the smell also lingers. The body scrub is just as
gorgeous as the body wash and it exfoliates my skin very well and also leaves
my skin feeling even softer. I think my next soap and glory purchase will need
to be the sugar crush body butter cream as I just want to smell like a lime Starburst all the time :p.
