Latest Loves

Hello all :)So here I am again with a little post that I've been prepping for a while. Rather than doing monthly favourites over the last couple of months I decided to save up and talk about some products that I totally love and have been using for a while now. It's a mix of drugstore bits and a couple slightly more high end products so hopefully there's something for everyone and I hope you all enjoy reading my long ramble :)

I'll start off with skincare and I have a couple of products that are getting a special mention here. First up it's the famous Eve Lom Cleanser. Now you may have seen me mention this when I first got it back in November in my very first Look Fantastic beauty box. Understandably I was very excited and couldn't wait to try it and let me tell you I was not disappointed. I can confirm I am now a true Eve Lom convert, I now understand why it has the cult following it does. This was actually the first balm cleanser I had every tried and I was a bit worried at the thought of rubbing a somewhat oily balm all over my face, but I found it very easy to use and actually really good on my combination skin. I use it only for removing make up at the end of the day and it does a super job. There's few things I love more than washing my face at the end of the day(yes I did just say that) and using this my face feels amazingly clean yet my skin still feels soft,not in any way tight and is just perfectly ready for my night time skincare routine. Also a little goes a long way, I have only just finished this 30ml sample size and I've been using it for a good 3 months. This will make me feel better about investing in a full size tub!

Next up we have another cleanser ( I may have a slight obsession!) This one comes from Una Brennan and it's her Vitamin C+ Skin Renew Cleansing Oil. I have a thing for oils these days and this particular one is a brilliant drugstore find. Simply massage onto your skin and remove with a damp facecloth and tah dah your skin is make up free, feels soft, hydrated and there's no oily residue left behind. This lasts a seriously long time too, as you can see from the picture it's nearly gone but I've had it for about 3 months now and I use it almost every day. A great value for money cleansing oil, highly recommended from me!!

Now for my current facemask of choice. I got this Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche de Beaute 24 hour hydrating fresh mask in a Look fantastic beauty box a couple of months back. I put it in my box of samples and minis and kind of forgot about it for a while. Then my skin went through a stage where it was quite dry and just needed a kick of moisture and I decided to give this a go. I generally get on well with Nuxe products and this is no exception. It's a nice light creamy texture, easy to apply and left on for about 10 minutes your skin just drinks it up and is totally re-hydrated. I found it really made a difference to my skin and even the next day my skin felt much smoother and fresher, it did exactly what I needed it to!

The final skincare product that has taken up residence in my bathroom recently comes from the one and only Soap and Glory.

It's their Whipped Clean Luxe Cream Wash Shower Butter (bit of a long name!). Soap and Glory products are so popular but I've only really started getting into them properly recently and this is now one of my favourite shower products. It has the texture of a body butter but then it lathers up into a gorgeous soft shower gel that does actually moisturise the skin. This is probably thanks to the shea butter and different oils that are combined in it. So nice to have a shower gel that doesn't leave the skin feeling dry or flaky and for some people it may even mean you can skip the post shower moisturising if you're having a lazy day!

Onto make up and first up we have lipstick. I feel that a girl can never have too many lipsticks and nothing makes me happier than buying a shiny new one! This particular Yves Saint Laurent one was a treat to myself using my boots advantage card points and I just adore it!! It's one of their Rouge Volupte Shine range in the shade number 5 Fushcia in Excess. It glides on so easily, the colour pay off is amazing, it has a beautiful shine, it lasts for a good 8 hours and it's even moisturising!! Can you tell I like it ha!! The colour comes across better in person but the picture below gives you an idea of the dreamy pink colour. Go use your Boots points wisely people!


Another Soap and Glory product has made it into my latest loves and it's their much loved Solar Powder Bronzer. I had wanted to get my hands on this for ages and it was always out of stock in my local boots but i finally managed to get it a couple of months ago and now I know why it was always sold out. Basically it's your perfect everyday bronzer. No shimmer, just a lovely two tone compact, a lighter peachy shade on one side and a darker bronze shade on the other. Swirled together they give your face the perfect sun kissed touch, adding a gorgeous natural looking glow that's perfect even for paler skins.

Last but not least is possibly the best addition to my beauty routine over the past few months and it's the amazing Wet Brush. This is also thanks to Look fantastic because I got this super cute mini one from their beauty box. I had been meaning to buy one for so long, I have mentioned my ridiculously knotty hair on here before and I really never thought anything could tackle it. But it's true the Wet Brush is life changing-yes I said life changing. Seriously, my knotty haired friends with understand what a chore it is to brush your hair but this makes it so easy! It glides through the hair detangling without snagging or pulling, I can't even describe in words how good it is, just wait until you try it!!
