The top shelf holds my 'Daily faces' & brushes etc

Boots Mini Make up Haul

Hi guys :)

I popped into town today on a mission to pick up a new foundation, after debating whether to try out a pressed powder (which i have never used) I decided to stick to a liquid foundation as I know where I stand with those. So I popped  into Boots and had a little look and ended up coming out with a couple of bits, here is my little haul ;

 I decided to get a new foundation brush and have heard good things about  the real Techniques I got the base/flawless foundation brush

I picked up the No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in warm beige

 And the No7 Concealer Stick again in warm beige.

And bonus... Boots have a No7 promotion on at the moment, buy 2 No7 items and receive the No7 Perfect Lips Kit free!!

Here is what is in the kit;

No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick - Classic Rose, No7 High shine Lip Gloss - Smile, No7 Lip Brush

I cant wait to try out all my new goodies, and I'll be sure to post a review and pics when i use it all together.

Mid week mini pamper session :)

So tonight felt like the perfect night for a pamper,
we all get tied down and pre-occupied with kids, work, family life etc and as i've said before its very important to take some time out for yourself, even half an hour once a week can make a massive difference.

So tonight I decided to take half an hour for me!! :)

I made myself a cup of tea, ran a lovely hot bubble bath, and while waiting for it to fill I set to with the nightly facial cleanse:
First I massaged in the lovely Loreal '15 second miracle cleansing oil' to remove all my make up (which was minimal anyway),washed off thouroughly with a flannel,

I then massaged in the gorgeous smelling nspa 'melting cleansing gel', and used my No7 'Facial cleansing brush' all over my face and neck, again washed off thouroughy with flannel,

I then applied the SuperFacialist by Una Brennan  'rose hydrate intense moisture mask' smells divine this stuff does (who knew i liked the smell of roses?) 

So far so good, face is cleansed and luxuriating in a new mask, so I hop in the bath and set to for the rest of me, after a quick soak I don my bright pink scrubbing gloves, lather up and manually exfoliate all over, I add a little of Soap & Glory's 'pulp friction body scrub' and go again, once satisfied I rinse off and decide to use the boyf's BullDog 'original shave gel' - well, he hasnt bothered using it and it was just sitting there, now I never normally use a shave gel, but thought i'd try it and see if it makes a difference, it does, it definitely does, this one is packed with essential oils and has a cooling/zingy effect when applied, smells fresh, not bad.

All defuzzed and exfoliated, its time to remove the mask, I soak my flannel and massage it off, it hasnt 'set' like most masks do, but has kept a firm, creamy texture, and removes easily, my skin definitely feels hydrated, after it being a little dry lately this is very welcome, and this mask will make its way into my weekly routine! ( I also use the rose hydrate calming creamy cleanser on rotation, love it!)
I round up by moisturising my body with my amazing tub of 100% pure coconut oil, utterly delicious stuff that works for literally EVERYTHING, apply my Rana Argan Oil to my face, then massage in Ila face oil (which contains only hand blended natural oils) and the smell is to die for i tell you!!! and top it off with LP Skin Therapy overnight replenishing cream, and for the hands L'occitane dry skin hand cream

So i'm now all cosied up in my PJ's and slipper socks, my skin feels amazingly soft and supple, and i feel ready for a lovely sleep!

So goodnight guys, hope you enjoyed this post!

Make time for you, be happy :)

No7 face brush review

I've been using my new Boots No7 face brush on a once daily basis for just under a week now and I have definitely noticed a difference in the look and feel of my skin, I have oily/combination skin and get quite bad dry patches on my cheeks.

How I use it;
I perform my 1st cleanse - L'Oréal 15 second miracle oil cleanser
Wash off with warm water and a flannel,
I then apply my second cleanser - nspa melting gel cleanser onto dry skin and use the face brush (on setting 1) all over my face and neck allowing the gel to work in fully, I then wash off with warm water and a flannel.

My skin has been feeling cleaner, firmer, softer and may I say 'healthier'
I have also been told it looks more radiant and clear and feels soft to touch.

Loving this accessory and will definitely be keeping it in my daily cleansing bag as a go to peice!
Every girl (and guy) should have one of these beauties

Happy cleansing
