Small Haul!
Friday, 22 March 2013
Just a small blog post on my recent beauty related purchases. Enjoy!
-Shu Uemura Eyelash CurlersI've wanted these eyelash curlers for a while now but i always thought; are they that good? and do i really need another pair? Every person and their dog who are into beauty seem to own these and I've seen makeup artists say that these are the best curlers they've used so i finally decided to bite the bullet and buy them!
-Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Mascara
The current mascara I'm using is nearly finished with, and instead of repurchasing the same mascara I've decided I'm going to try out lots of drugstore/ boots/ superdrug mascaras. This one just caught my eye so I'm going to give it a whizz.
-Daniel Sandler Watercolour Creme Bronzer: Riviera
Ive been really into my cream products recently as my skin has been super dry and i love the glow that cream products give. I saw this on my daily stalk of the feel unique website and thought it looked gorgeous and it just had to be mine!
-Advanced Techniques Sectioning clips
This is just a boring basic purchase but i always seem to lose sectioning clips, along with bobbles and grips! As the name suggests i just use these to section off my hair to make it easier when blowdrying/ straightening/ curling.
-Advanced Techniques Heat Proof Mat and Case
This is another boring buy and just an essential to stop hair tools from burning my desk.
Pamper Sesh- Facial!
Saturday, 2 March 2013
About once a week or so, i love to set aside a bit of time to give myself a facial, not only does it help your skin, keeping it super soft and clean but it's also relaxing and a pick me up on a 'bleurghh' day.
1) Start off by washing your face either to remove makeup and any dirt with a cleanser of facial wash. My favourite and a holy grail product of mine is Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish.
2) Next, use a scrub or exfoliater to whisk away dead surface skin cells and clear blocked pores. I'm loving dermalogica daily microfoliant at the minute, which i received in a glossybox a couple of months ago. It's a rise based powder that you mix with water to create a paste, before massaging onto the face.
3) Fill a bowl with a kettleful of freshly boiled water, then lean over the bowl, capturing the steam by placing a towel over your head. Stay there for around 5 minutes to allow the steam to warm and soften your skin although people with sensitive skin should skip this step.
4) Put on a face mask of your choice and leave for the required time before washing off. I've been loving the Avon planet spa face mask gift set which has lots of small packets of face masks suitable for different skin types and needs. The amount given is perfect as i often find that there is too much when using other face masks.

5) Finish off your pamper session by doing the same night time skincare routine as usual.
Voila!
