Bobbi Brown foundation stick

Let's just assume every brand i write about is one of my faves :P Anyone who appreciates Bobbi Brown should know that the foundation stick is amazeballs. It's more of a heavy coverage foundation and double's up as a concealer. Mine is in the shade warm ivory and it's just really easy to use and looks fantastic. I prefer to use this as a concealer as it does have a slightly waxy texture and it's a bit oily. When i used it all over my face it looked like i was wearing a mask so be careful of that. I would recommend that you don't use a white powder over it.

Also, if you try this and like it then you will love the creamy concealer. With the foundation stick you get 9grams of product, it's £28 and comes in 20 shades. I find it's best to apply this by warming it up with your finger if you use it as concealer or you can just apply it straight on to your face. If you have oily skin but want to try a Bobbi Brown foundation then go for the long wear even finish foundation, it's oil free!

Argan Oil

Just a quick one. Yeah, another crappy photo....

As we all know hair oil's have become pretty big this past year and i thought it was about time i tried and tested this trend. I have another full size product with oil in which is great but i have been using this one consistently. This is Hask argan oil from Morocco. This is a very small sample of 18ml which i bought for £2.50 from primark. Somehow i thought it would be cheaper to get a small sample of it than pay out loads for a massive thing that might not work. The woman that sold it to me said she used it as a treatment on her daughter who is mixed race and has frizzy hair and apparently it worked really well.

The directions sais it can be used both wet and dry and that you should use a coin sized amount of it. I have been using it on my hair wet along with my kerastase. And i must say i really like it. It's put moisture into my hair which i really lack at the ends. Not bad for £2.50 considering there's still half of it left and i've had it since the beginning of october. :D

Kerastase ciment thermique

Sorry about the picture on this one!

My favorite hair product ever, is this (above).  I've been using it for about a year and the main reason i bought it was because it smelt so good. This is part of the resistance range which is designed to help hair resissssssst things such as heat, chemicals and anything that changes the structure of the hair.

So this particular product is amazing because it re-activates itself. And by that i mean you put it in your hair when wet, dry it (the product protects against the heat), then you can use hair tools e.g. straighteners and it re-activates and protects against the heat again. And i believe it is supposed to repair your hair too. It smells very fruity and sweet. You can buy it from hairdressers, one's like toni and guy or rush. It is pricey for a hair product but you don't need to use much so i reckon a bottle of 125ml lasts me around 4 months and it's the only product i need, minus serum and hairspray.

It's a leave in product and can be used for all types of damaged hair. It's really helped restore my hair to it's former glory, i had a very bad experience when going blonde which has taken me over a year to recover from but that's a whoooole other story. I'd feel guilty if i didn't share this with anyone.

Clinique, all about eyes

All about eyes! As part of my routine, i never neglect my eyes, nor should you. Clinique is another one of my favorite brands and i have been using this eye cream for a few months now and i really recommend it. It's very hydrating and has a gel like texture which i personally prefer to a heavy eye cream. 

Clinique describes it as,

"Lightweight eye cream diminishes the appearance of eye puffs, darkness and fine lines. Non-creep, cream/gel formula actually helps hold eye makeup in place. For use morning and night, both under the eyes and on lids. Orthalmologist Tested."

Allthough i don't have puffy under eyes it does feel very soothing and i have noticed that it keeps make up on quite well. Less touch ups for me when i use this. 15ml of product is £24. I think it's worth it as it lives up to it's claims. Plus i always feel better in myself when i have a day where i've used my more expensive products :)

Soap and Glory Make yourself Youthful rejuvenating face serum

Soap and glory is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands and as i am running low on face serum i thought i would give this one a go. So far everything i have tried from soap and glory i have loved. I think this serum is referred to as 'make yourself youthful'. It's much lighter on my skin in terms of texture compared to other serums i've used. So, it's got anti-wrinkle peptides in it, shea butter, orange peel oil, ginseng, botanical extracts and hydrators (whatever that is). It soaks in really easily and i like that it doesn't leave a greasy or shiny finish. As with all of their products it has a great smell and you can really smell that orange peel! Don't worry, it's not over powering.

I always use a serum under my moisturiser which goes on my face, neck and decollete. As you can see in the image above it is white and when you spread it out it becomes clear and absorbs quickly. I got mine from boots for £16 and it has 50ml of product. Serums always last ages so i think it's a great buy.

L'OCCITANE Eau de Toilette Verveine

Yo dawgs! I wanted to talk about this perfume because it is just so refreshing! I received this as a birthday present in october after dropping many hints ;)

"The verbena eau de toilette draws it's inspiration from provencal markets, where the freshly picked green leaves of verbena fill the air with their refreshing and lemony scent. A delicate and sparkling fragrance that soothes both the body and the spirit."

To me it has more of a lime scent than lemon. When you wear it it smells like you have crushed a lime and smeared it all over yourself, i think that's the description they should have used! I keep wanting to use the word refreshing... as that's what it is! I like wearing it at this time of year (winter) as it is a typically summery smell so i feel lifted :) I imagine this is what the extremely rich might smell like. If you like natural smells than defo try a sample of it in your local L'occitane. I APPROVE.
