My Skincare Essentials

When it comes to skincare, i get bored easily and always like to try new things. But there are a few products which i always stick with...

• Clinique liquid facial soap in Mild. This makes my face feel so fresh and silky soft i love it.


• Witch Stick. The only thing that seems to work when i get spots.


• St Ives Apricot scrub. I use this on my face once a week, it's nice and gentle and definitely keeps my skin a lot clearer.


• Simple cleansing facial wipes. I use these to remove my make up, they are soft and gentle.


• Sudocreme. I love the smell of this! I use this on any skin irritations, and it works a treat.


• The Body Shop Satsuma body polish. Smoothes skin wonderfully, and smells divine.


• E45 Moisturising Lotion. The only body moisturiser i can use that doesn't bring out an allergic reaction. It has no scent or colour, but really does make skin soft.

A very late Birthday haul and other stuff....

Firstly sorry for the lack of posts lately, although i do have good reason for going blog awol for a month. I've been busy moving to a new place, and now i've got my internet sorted and i'm (mostly) unpacked i thought i'd start with a birthday/collective haul type thing.

It was my Birthday on August the 8th, and i turned 25...eek! I got some lovely things, and there may be a long time until the next haul, seeing as im spending all my spare cash on household things lately (I did really need that hot pink bin, and matching washing up bowl!).
So here goes...


First up this really cute Me & Zena necklace

This is the Clinique gift that came with the below face wash and high impact mascara.

A load of Sleek pout paints, i love these and plan to post a review soon.

Some pressed powder from Mac, as well as beauty marked eyeshadow, and a lipgloss.

Some goodies from a trip to Superdrug.

A Tokidoki for Smashbox eyeshadow quad, and Benefit concealer set, and a perfume from M&S called Butterfly that smells of watermelon yum!

Shower gels from The Body Shop- as you can see i can't get enough of these. My favourite is satsuma.

And how could i call this a haul without some Hello Kitty!?

And, finally a Paul's Boutique bag called 'Jackie'. It is absolutely huge, and very lovely.

Thanks for reading (^_^)

Christmas Pressies

Ok, ok i know Christmas is sooo last year and all that... but as i've been enjoying seeing what others have got for Christmas i though i would do a quick post on some of the lovely beauty related presents i got...

A very pretty Paul & Joe set which has a lip conditioner, cleansing milk, toner and cream

A beautiful Body Shop 'Japanese Cherry Blossom' gift set which contained a perfume, body butter, shower gel, and bath scrunchie, in a super cute box which i've already chucked a load of bits and bobs in!

A Beautilicious seven liplocking lovelies lipgloss gift set, and an Anatomicals lips and eyes set, which had an eye cream and lip balm.

I also got some rather lovely heated rollers, which i am obsessed with as they are bloody amazing! And a very very cute Hello Kitty glitter lamp (^_^)
