Birthday Beauty Wishlist

Hello Beauties..  

Today's post is a birthday wishlist. It is my birthday in 2 weeks time and I hope to treat myself or maybe someone will treat me to a few of these coveted items...

First up
Dior Shimmer Powders
Either pink diamond or amber diamonds both look very pretty.


Essie Fiji
There is so much hype around nail varnish I just have to try it.



Kerastase Cristalliste shampoo and conditioner
I can be quiet a bargain hunter so I don't usually treat myself to expensive hair care products but maybe I will just this once.






Black Flo Atomiser Refillable Fragrance
I tend to buy the larger size of perfumes.I would love this atomiser so I can decant my perfumes and pop them in my handbag.




Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
Now this has been on my wishlist for a long time. My birthday is on the 14th of September so I might just treat myself to the limited edition coming out on the 6th.






Muji storage
Having an obsession with make-up using means you also have an obsession with storing it.I'm always swapping and changing my make-up storage. Something inside me tells this might just solve the problem.

 

There are so many other items I could add to this post, maybe I should do a "wishlist part 2" hehe.

Fingers crossed.

How many cleanser does ones face need?

Here's a post about my current cleansers. Yes its plural. I have 6 different cleansers on the go at the moment.

They all function differently, some are similar consistencies and some are not.

The reason behind having 6 cleansers mainly is because I admit I am obsessed with skincare and

I prefer to use different ones at different times.

As you can see from the picture above I love French skincare. Clarins and Lancome are my favourite skincare brands.

Cleanser #1

No 7 Melting Gel Cleanser

I use when I have extra time to cleanse my face or when I feel my skin is slightly dehydrated.

It is basically a balm cleanser that transforms into a oil as you massage it into dry skin. When you add water to remove it becomes a milky cleanser. A luxurious cleanser perfect for when you want treat your skin.

Cleanser #2

Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser

As I can be prone to dry skin I would never usually use foaming cleansers as they tend to further dry out skin as they are more suitable for oily skin. This cleanser is specifically for dry or sensitive skin. Its super gentle foaming cleaner perfect for removing heavy make-up.

Cleanser #3

Clarins One-step Facial Cleanser

A brilliant water based cleanser. It contains orange extract which immediately wakes up your skin in the morning. Perfect for a quick cleanse in the morning.

Cleanser #4

Lancome Eau Micellaire Douceur

Another water cleanser. This is an amazing water cleanser that can remove face, lips and even eye make-up. I like to use this in the evening to remove most of my make-up before I use a milky cleanser with a muslin cloth.

Cleanser #5

Lancome Galateis Douceur

My 2nd favourite cleanser. I use this nearly every evening and every morning. It is a rich milky cleanser that I use to remove  make-up and dirt. In the evening I cleanse twice, in the morning only once. I like to use a muslin or cotton pads with this cleanser.

Cleanser #6

Lancome Huile Eclat

Last but certainly not least. I love love love this cleanser. Its a deep cleansing oil that smells absolutely amazing. I use this every time I'm in shower. To apply you massage into dry skin and then use warm water to emulsify and remove. This is actually my third purchase of this particular cleanser. My favourite, a real treat if I do say so.

Have you used any of these cleansers?

Are there any cleansers you would recommend?

Shopping Haul

Hello there beauties :-)

Last week I decided I was in need of a little retail therapy. 

No clothing or jewellery purchases just beauty and toiletries.

I visited Boots and Superdrug and along the way I picked up a few items.

Have a look at my purchases :-)

First up a very exciting product ;-) Oral-B 3D White Toothpaste. I am such a sucker for whiting toothpastes I'm always trying something new. On offer in Superdrug for only €2, well worth trying out.

Next up, is the new L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil. I purchased the one for coloured hair as I have Ombre hairstyle at the moment. The tips and ends of my hair are blonder than the roots and top which means of course that they are dryer. I usually use pure Argan Oil but I saw this was on offer in Boots and heard good reviews about it.

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo was on offer in Superdrug for only €1.50. I have used this twice since I bought it and I can safely say its brilliant. I'm actually going to back to purchase the whole range today. The Shampoo left my hair feeling

 light weight and silky. I'm looking forward to trying the conditioner and treatment.

This may sound strange but one of my pet hates in putting on eye cream. Its such a chore having to be extra gentle around the eye area. I like to just slap on my moisturiser and go. This is a perfect product for a lazy girl. Simple revitalising eye roll-on, just roll and go.

I have repurchased my favourite day cream. Nivea Daily Essentials rich day cream. I think this might actually be my 6th repurchase. I just love this day cream its perfect for my sensitive skin and its not too rich. I actually bought two, there's an offer in Boots at the moment 2 for €6.  Bargain!

Lastly, is a product I have been considering purchasing for a long time. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. Since coming across the beauty blogging community I have seen this top coat featured in many reviews, blogpost and tutorials. On offer in Superdrug for only €5, I couldn't say no.

Thats all for now my prettys.

Would you like to see reviews on any of these products?

Or

Have you reviewed any of these products?

Rose Gold Purchase

Ahhhhh. 

I finally done it, I've purchased a Rose Gold watch!

Those of you that follow my blog may know that I love love Rose Gold and I have wanted a Rose Gold Watch for a long time. I have purchased Rose Gold bracelets and earrings in the past few months, blogpost here.

As you can probably tell this beautiful watch is from Next. 

I have been considering purchasing one of the many Rose Gold watches available on the high street. I have actually done a blogpost on the River Island Rose Gold watches have a look here.

After much consideration decided not to purchases any of the watches from River Island and I couldn't decide. Boy was I glad I waited because two days later I bumped into this pretty piece of arm candy. I fell in love straight away and knew this was the Rose Gold watch for me.

ohh Yummy! Do you like it?
