How beautiful is this personalised cracker from @suitesspa ?
They have asked me to ask my followers and see if I should be naughty or nice this Christmas?
Should I pass on the treats to a loved one or keep them for myself?

Pixi Pretties! I couldn’t think of a more perfect name for this collaboration! So pretty and fun. The Maryam Maquillage lip and eye sets would make the perfect stocking filler. (No, I never said the C word). But it’s soooo close! 🤣🎄
Instagram post 2171359310299119535_417974794 Hiyaaaa! 👋🏻 Jeez it’s went cold hasn’t it?
I had to pull out the one and only @clinique Moisture Surge! 
An all round good egg. Perfect to zap some moisture into the skin.
A little of a morning or a thick layer (think face mask) of a night. 
Leaves the skin sooooo hydrated and soft. An oldie but a goodie! Can’t be without it.

Drink up witches, it’s HALLOWEEN!!

Each time I try a new skincare range from @pixibeautyuk I always think how will it top the last collection?
I can not stress enough how amazing all these products are.
Vitamin- C is a key anti-ageing that helps brighten and smooth skin! I have already purchased the full size Vitamin C Tonic because I absolutely adore it. It’s a game changer!! Helllooo soft, smooth skin. I love using it of a morning in particular, because it helps my base products to look flawless. 🥰

Why use a facial oil?

Do you use a facial oil?

I must admit its pretty newish in my skincare routine. I was scared to try one I always thought an oil on my face would be the ultimate cardinal sin for my skin, resulting in an outbreak of spots and making my skin appear oily.

I couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Why use a facial oil?

(Above are my top facial oil picks, that I have tried and loved)

1) Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil – Dehydrated Skin 30ml on offer for £24.

2) Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil – Oily or Combination Skin 30ml on offer for £24.

3) Balance Me Radiance Facial Oil -Suitable for all Skin Types 30ml Costs £30.

4) Trilogy Rosehip Oil- All Skin Types 20ml Costs £16.50.

Here are some reasons why using an oil is beneficial in your skincare routine.

  • Oils prevents water loss, resulting in plumping your skin that results in less visible wrinkles and an overall more radiant and healthy, glowy appearance.
  • Fight oil with oil. If you are suffering with oily or spotty skin, chances are introducing an oil will drastically help. Sometimes your body creates more oil because you are over drying it. 
  • In the colder months our skin is just screaming out for oil, oil, oil. Central heating, car heaters, office heaters not drinking enough water,  all these factor contribute to the skin becoming dry, dehydrated or both.

First thing is to pick an oil that suits your skin type.

Dry, oily or combination skin?

Don’t know you skin type? Visit a couple of beauty counters, and ask them to advise you.

So when do you use an oil?

I cleanse, tone, serum and then use an oil every other night in rotation with a moisturiser, but if you want to use a moisturiser also, then moisturise first and then use an oil.

A really thin layer is all you need all over the face, pressing it on lightly with your fingers.

The benefits I have seen personally over the past 6 months are: plumper more hydrated skin. My skin is a lot smoother and fine lines have reduced drastically.

Another thing I adore is they last forever you will only have to invest in one, once or twice a year.

I love Christmas, it’s my favourite time of year. But, yeah, erm, I am so sorry for throwing a BUT into the mix. For the majority of us it can be a little overwhelming, it can become a non-stop stress fest. The planning, organising, visiting, shopping, wrapping, cooking, more wrapping, writing cards, the tree. The […]
