Hello there. I was going to add "update" to the title of this post but it's not really an update, coz I don't post enough for that!
Here are some favourite products that I've been using recently...
Garnier Soothing Gel-Cream for dry/sensitive skin in Peach. I believe this is also available in Grape. I picked this up in Boots in Westfield Stratford while I was in London for a few days a while ago. I love the scent and the texture. As it is a gel it feels cool against the skin and sinks in quickly, leaving the skin nice and soft. I would use this if I had a shower in the morning before I went out, and I don't wait to wait around for my moisturiser to dry before I could get dressed, but still want my skin to be well hydrated.
Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara in black. I am a mascara fiend and usually have a few on the go. I am also a Benefit fiend and owned a full size version of this in black along with the blue version (not even sure if they still do that) but then I fell out of love with Benefit's mascaras and just kept on with their other make up which was still great. As I bet you are aware, Glamour magazine are giving away Benefit products again this month and this is one of them, along with The Porefessional and That Gal. Anyway, back to the point..... I decided to give this another go and I love it again! It makes my lashes big & full & long! :)
I am really lucky with my skin. I hardly eeeeeeeeeever get spots, and it always looks lovely and soft. But! Recently I had been having a few problems with it. The skin on my forehead was getting very dry and even flaky, and I had absolutely no idea what to do because this never happens. I always use moisturiser but my usual stuff just wasn't cutting it. These 2 saved the day! They're both available in Boots. I use the Nivea during the day and Johnson's at night and my skin is back to it's former glory :) it's nice and soft again and these moisturisers are amazing without being heavy at all.
Palmers Cocoa Butter. I know this is a firm favourite with lots of people. I'd rather use this at night before going to bed, rather than in the morning, as it is quite heavy. Lovely smell and very moisturising.
Snow Fairy! Another favourite of a lot of people, I know. Snow Fairy is from Lush but only available from October to January. I bought this in January, and it's still going strong in June! Not too much left though, as you can see. This shower gel has the best smell in the world. And it's lovely and girly and pink and glittery!! :)
My shampoo. It's took me a while to find a good shampoo! My hair is coloured and is currently a dark purple. Before that it was red. Both these colours fade very quickly and even normal shampoo for coloured hair doesn't help. I always thought it wasn't worth buying the expensive shampoo and no matter how hard my hairdresser tried I wouldn't shell out and kept buying Pantene or Herbal Essences that you can get in Boots or Superdrug. I finally caved when I realised my hair wasn't looking as good as it used to and bought Matrix shampoo & conditioner for coloured hair from my hairdresser. BIG MISTAKE! Cost me a fortune and left my hair looking crap. It was lank and greasy looking straight after I washed it and no amount of dry shampoo would help. I binned it after a week and headed to Trade Secret to ask for their advice, and came away with this. This wasn't cheap either, cost me a tenner, but is working amazingly and my hair is looking great after maybe 3 weeks use :)
I'm always painting my nails and I've got far too many bottles of nail polish. I'm loving the fact that everyone is painting their nails all different colours. I do this a lot and just now my favourite thing to do is pastel colours. I love to do a mix of these Barry M colours, as they look great together. Continuing with nails...
Here it is layered over my pastel coloured nails :)
I also picked up another couple of items today to try out soon :)
Palmer's Natural Bronze and Boots 17 Juicy nail polish. Can't wait to give these a go :)
