NARS Sheer Glow Foundation | Fiji

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation | Fiji




I repurchased NARS Sheer Glow recently and I'm so glad I did as its definitely one of the best foundations I've ever tried. I won't go into too much detail about this as I've already done a full review here but its a great foundation to go for if you want something that's medium to full coverage whilst still looking natural on the skin. However, if you're after something very 'glowy', don't be fooled by the name as it isn't glowy at all. It does give the skin a healthy radiance but its not as glowy as the likes of Rimmel Wake Me Up, for example.

Gucci Flora Gracious Tuberose*

Gucci Flora Gracious Tuberose*




I love nothing more than receiving new perfumes so when I was recently send this Gucci Flora perfume from Fragrance direct, I couldn't have been more chuffed. I love having perfumes sat out on my dressing table so I'm quite fussy when it comes to packaging and I normally go for elegant looking bottles that are quite simple and chic. Think 'Miss Dior' which is an all time favourite of mine. This one from Gucci has that same chic look to it and it looks absolutely beautiful sat on my dresser. As well as looking pretty, it also smells amazing! Its very girly and while it does have floral tones, it definitely isn't overpowering like some floral scents can be. Its just very sophisticated and feminine and lasts all day long. I put it on at 7am this morning and can still smell it now. That's good going let me tell you as more perfumes don't last on me. If you're after a new perfume for Christmas, I can't recommend this one enough and you can get the gift set from Fragrance Direct here for only £39.95. Bargain!

Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm*

Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm* 






I've mentioned this product in a favourites post before but I just have to mention it again this month as I've been using it more and more now the harsh winter weather has taken its toll on my skin. This balm cleanser is such a luxurious treat and I actually look forward to getting home from work and cleansing my face with this stuff - who'd have thought it? It has a fairly thick consistancy like you would imagine from a balm but when massaged onto the skin it becomes loose and more oil like, gradually removing every scrap of makeup. It also has small oatmeal grains running through it which gently exfoliate the skin while the balm removes grime and thoroughly cleanses. To remove it I splash my face with warm water, massage the product around my face even more and then remove it with a warm face cloth. If you want that salon facial feeling at home - I can't recommend this stuff enough. It leaves my feeling clean, fresh, hydrated and smooth. I love it!

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara




When I first bought this mascara a couple of months ago, I HATED it. It was dry and didn't do anything for my lashes. No colour, not length and no curl. Nothing. However, recently I decided I'd give it another go and it turns out I now love it. I don't know what's happened but between the first time I tried it and now, its like a completely different mascara. It now gives my lashes lots of volume and curl and its no longer dried out. I know, very strange isn't it?

Aromatherapy Associates Morning Revive Bath & Shower Oil*

Aromatherapy Associates Morning Revive 

Bath & Shower Oil* 




If you love a hot relaxing bubble bath in the winter like I do then the Aromatherapy Associates bath and shower oils are a must have. A couple of drops of this added to a bath really tranforms it from a standard bath to a luxurious spa like experience. The scents are really powerful so only one or two drops is needed meaning this little bottle should last me a good few baths. I've used it 3 or 4 times already and as you can see - there's still loads left. I know there's lots of Aromatherapy Acossiates Christmas gifts floating around at the moment so if you or one of your loved ones love to relax in the bath, these oils would be a perfect gift. My favourite set would be have to be this one here. A bath oil Christmas tree - yay!
