Glossier

Ever since Glossier landed onto the beauty scene I've had a desire to try their products. Before even using anything from the brand the packaging appealed to me. It's simple, pretty and pink which is my favourite colour. My desire to experiment with Glossier had risen once they stared to ship to the UK and beauty Youtube creatures raved about them. I decided to order a few products just before my birthday as I thought they would be really practical to take on holiday. The products came in a beautiful box with the items inside a pink zip up bag. I ended up going for the stage 1 skincare set. This included the Milky Jelly Cleanser, The Balm Dot Com and the Priming Moisturizer.

The cleanser is a clear texture with a gel consistency. It's really soft on the skin when applying and melts away beautifully. It clears your make up really well especially after a long day. It's also really nice as an everyday face wash. The lip balm has a hard texture almost solid like. Once on the lips it blends really lovely. It repairs any dry, cracked areas on the lips and keeps them moisturised throughout the day. You can also chose a scent, I went for the coconut flavour. The last product which is the moisturiser is probably my favourite of the three. It's thick, creamy and has a white consistency. It makes a lovely base before putting on your make up. It melts into the skin really quickly and leaves your face feeling really nice and hydrated.

Overall I'm really impressed with what I've used so far. I defiantly want to try more of their skin care range and even branch into the make up side. I'm quite interested in the serum and the stretch concealer. Please let me know of any recommendations and I'm sure I will be doing another order very soon.

Loreal Elvine Dream Lengths

Whenever I run out of my shampoo and condioner I get a little bit excited. That's because I get to purchase my favourite products. I've finally found a hair range that suits me and the needs of my hair. This range is from Loreal the Elvine Dream Lengths. It's designed to care and maintain hair of a certain length without having to have regular hair cuts. It illuminates dead ends and leaves your hair looking and feeling glossy.

When I was my hair I start off by using the Restoring Shampoo. Like the name suggest it restores your hair back to it's healthy state. I use a large pump in the palm of my hand and massage this into my hair rinse and repeat. I do this stage twice as I have very long, thick hair and find this makes a huge difference. I then move onto the Detangling Condioner using another large pump on my hand. I run this through the mid lengths and ends of my hair. I leave this to soak in for a couple of minutes and rinse out. Leaving this in for a little longer leaves your hair feeling a lot more softer.

Once my hair is washed and lovely and clean I use the No Hair Cut Cream. I use a small amount into my hand and massage into the ends of my hair. This adds a nice finishing touch to my hair before blow drying. Another factor I love about this range is the smell. It smells so sweet and the kind of smell you get from walking into a hair dressers.

A Simple Skincare

There comes a time where you have to throw your skincare products away. This time had arrived for me. You know when something needs to be thrown out. It doesn't feel right on the skin and it starts to to smell a bit funky. This gave me the perfect excuse to purchase some new skincare items. Now I'm not in a position where I can splash out on Clinquic or Estee Launder so I researched inexpensive, good quality products . The most obvious brand for me is Simple.

I decided on four products in total. I chose the vital vitamin day and night cream, the smoothing eye roll and the purifying cleansing lotion. It doesn't seem like a lot but I already have a cleanser to remove my make up at the end of day.

I like that the products smell fresh, clean and feel beautiful to apply. The one thing I would have liked to have is a serum which I don't think Simple do. However it is not the end of the world and I'm sure they will do one in the future.

If your looking for some inexpensive skincare, I would highly recommend Simple. Keep an eye out at Boots and Superdrug as they normally have offers in store and online.

My all time favourite foundation

After being delayed at the airport for a large number of hours, there is only one place that will keep you occupied. That place is somewhere I would say is pretty awesome and a location I could spend hours browsing. This is called Duty Free. For those who don't know, Duty Free is the part of an airport where you can buy many luxurious items, from skin care, make up, bags, clothes, sunglasses and perfumes. In Duty Free the tax is removed from all items making them a little bit cheaper. To be honest the price difference isn't that much difference, but if you are ever in an airport and thinking of making a purchase I would defiantly buy it there.

I purchased the YSL All In One Glow foundation. I had seen many of views on this on Youtube and on peoples blogs, there I was intrigued to give it a go. I have tried many different types of foundations since wearing make up and have never really found the perfect product for me. That was in till I bought this and have not stopped wearing in since. Like the name suggest it gives you an almighty glow whilst giving your skin enough coverage. It feels so lightweight on the skin and blends in beautifully. I like the way it feels on the skin and love the finish it gives at the end. The time frame for this foundation will properly only last with in till my shift an work but by the time I get home I do feel like it has melted off my face.

All in all I feel like this is a really lovely foundation. It has loads of different shades to suit everyone. In terms of price point I paid just under £30, which for a high end foundation is not too bad. Out of all the foundations I have tried, this one is by far my favourite. I will certainly be purchasing this again when it runs out but I have a feeling this is going to last me a long time.

Trendy Trousers

During the week at work I try my hardest not to wear jeans. This is because I feel like I wear them all the time. You just grab them out of your wardrobe and put on any top and a jacket if needed. It's the safest option if your not sure what to wear, you've woken up late and you don't have time to plan an outfit. Therefore as an alternative I've opted for trousers. Plain, patterned, tailored you name it I've got the garment hanging in my wardrobe.

If you find yourself in the same situation with your wardrobe here are a few of my favourites and what I wear them with.
