Yes To...

Ok, I know face wipes are bad for you blah blah blah, but I hold my hands up, sometimes I'm just plain lazy and after a long night sometimes I just want to take my makeup off fast and get in to bed! You know those times that I'm talking about!

Iv heard people banging on about the Yes To brand for a while and have never gotten around to trying anything from them (mainly because I didn't know how my skin would react to them!).  Whilst browsing the isles of my local Waitrose I decided to pick up a pack of their face wipes to give them a go (they were also on offer which swayed my decision slightly! lol) ... my logic - you can't really go wrong with face wipes! As a sensitive skin gal, I figured I wouldn't actually be putting a product on my face just using a product to take crap off my face! And let me tell ya... I actually really like them!

Escentual Haul!

I know its Christmas and really we're supposed to be buying gifts for friends and family, but i just cant help myself this time of year, especially with all the great offers and discounts out there!

I'm loving the Escentual website at the moment, they have so many great offers and have super quick delivery! I'd highly recommend checking out their site! I'm slightly addicted to Clarins products and Escentual offer my favourite products at such great prices! Iv already got my eye on a few more things from the Escentual website! Also, you need to check out their Christmas gift guides! such great ideas!!! Link here.

01.    Bioderma:  Clearly an "Escentual" (pun intended lol)! I'd run out and Escentual is one of the only websites I've found that stock Bioderma which is AMAZING!! I used to get it from Ebay, but sometimes you never really know what your getting! I trust Escentual. I have a post about the miracle that is Bioderma here.

02.    NUXE Reve de Miel lip balm:  I'm a major lip balm addict! I'd heard ravings about this on countless blogs and have wanted to try it for ages so thought id add it to my basket and see what all the hype is about... I can already tell this will make an appearance in my December favourites!!...This would also make a great stocking filler!

03.    Real Techniques, Sam's Picks:  An instagram friend of mine posted these brushes a while ago, I instantly decided that I needed them! lol After searching online, Escentual sell them for the BEST price!! I've used a few of the brushes already and I'm in love with the multi task brush and the crease brush! Also...these would make a great Christmas gift for someone who is just getting in to makeup! or simply wants to try out the Real Techniques brush line!

October Favourites...

I love looking at everyone top products of the month... I always find like 50 things I need to add to my wish list! Anyways, here are my October favourites...

Make Up:

01.    MUA Undress Me Too eyeshadow palette: I've been getting in to eyeshadow this month and this palette offers up some lovely neutral colours for a newbie to eyeshadow like me!

 

02.    Smashbox Photo Finish Oil-Free Primer: This stuff is amazing! After slapping this on, my makeup lasts pretty much all day! Iv even turned a couple of friends on to this stuff!

 

03.    Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light: My t-zone has been bit of an oily mess lately, so I've been whipping this bad boy out to help, I'm not a fan of the overly matte look, but a light dusting of this sets my makeup and I'm good to go!

 

04.    Baby Lips Lip Balm in Minty Fresh: I'm a fan of lip balm and this is the one iv been reaching for most, mainly because its kept in my bag but I'm loving the minty flavour.

 

05.    The Balm Frat Boy Blush: Iv got a post coming up on this little beauty soon. The perfect peachy pink shade, a little goes a long way with this blush!

 

Skincare:

 

06.    Clarins Daily Energizer Wake up Booster: I use this morning and night. I cant stop using it, a swipe of this over my face leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and just so awake! A permanent fixture in my skincare routine

07.    La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo: Another permanent fixture, this keeps pesky breakouts at bay!

Hair: 

08.    Oribe Maximista Thinkening Spray:  A post coming soon! This does exactly what it says on this tin!...dareI say it... a holy grail hair product!

09.    Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray: Quite possibly the best dry shampoo/texturising spray iv ever used!

Randoms:

10.    Laura Mercier Tarte au Citron Candle:   I bought this in the Space NK sale at the end of last year, it smelt so good that I didn't want to burn it! Needless to say, iv given in to temptation and I'm so glad i did! It has notes of critus and I think vanilla, which I know sounds like an odd pairing but it smells SO good! I dont think you can purchase this anymore, but it is included in their Votive Candle Sampler Collection, available for pre-order on Space NK online here. The Sampler Collection would make a such a lovely Christmas Present!

11.    Charbonnel et Walker, Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles: Little pink dusted chocolate balls of heaven, so good! And oh so pretty!... post here.

12.    The Big Bang Theory... need I say more?
