Two Winter Skin Saviours

Happy Monday my loves! Is anyone else's skin having a post-Christmas breakdown? Mine certainly is, I can't wait for my skin to be back to normal again! My skin is usually normal to oily but in the winter it needs an extra boost of hydration when it can begin to feel tighter.

Recently I've been trying and testing new skincare products, I love using my La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ as my morning moisturiser - it keeps my skin clear and works wonderfully underneath makeup! However, in the evening I need something a little more hydrating.

At work I've been keeping my eye on the Decleor Merry Oils Christmas Set, waiting for it to go down to half price in the sale. In the set there was a full sized micellar oil, full sized Neroli night balm, full sized Neroli oil serum, a small sized soft satin oil and a small sized body exfoliator. The whole set was priced at £89.90 but it was worth around £120 (if I remember rightly, I can't find how much it was worth!) but I purchased it half price in the sale for £45 (House Of Fraser). What a bargain!

I've been trying the products out for just over a week and a half now and I've got two favourites from the set which have really been helping my skin by giving it a boost of hydration.

Decleor Aromessence Neroli Hydrating Oil Serum.

Decleor offer a range of skincare based on different essential oils suitable for each skin type and condition. The Aromessence Oil Serum is one of my favourite products. All you need is a few drops of this and it feels and smells like a spa on your skin. This is the perfect product for applying to your skin at night so the oil can work it's magic whilst you sleep - I've been waking up with glowing skin! You can also mix a few drops of this into your moisturiser for a hydrating mask!

Decleor Aromessence Neroli Hydrating Night Balm.

This is another one of my favourite products from the set. If my skin is feeling super dry and tight this is such a saviour because it's so rich. This is a thick balm which you only need a small amount of. I take a small amount and rub it between my fingers to warm the product and then apply to my skin at night. This also contains the Neroli essential oil. I wouldn't recommend using this with the oil serum though - oil overload.

My First Charlotte Tilbury Haul

It's fair to say that Charlotte Tilbury has whipped up a storm since it launched, beautiful rose gold packaging and beautiful products! I'm not quite sure why it's taken my such a long time to make a purchase! However, when I was in London with my boyfriend a few weeks ago I couldn't resist having a nosy at the counter in Selfridges!

Let me tell you it was beautiful! I knew I wanted the Glastonberry Lipstick, I've seen it everywhere and the shade is perfect for this season! then when I was hit with "Is that everything?" my mind thought HELL NO. So of course I had to enquire about (surprise surprise) a brown nude lipstick. When the lady showed me Hepburn Honey watched on her hand I fell in love, I didn't even need to try it, I knew I wanted it there and then.

That evening I wore Glastonberry out for mexican food and I was so surprised at how comfortable it was for a matte lipstick! It lasted so well and I loved the colour! Then the next day I wore Hepburn Honey and I fell even more in love with these lipsticks! I thought hold the phone I have to go back and get more goodies! So I went back and picked up Iconic Nude Lipliner, Bad Romance Lipliner, Blondie Gloss and the infamous Kim K W Lipstick. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself people!!!

I am absolutely blown away by the quality of these lipsticks they truly are unbelievable. Recently I've been wearing Iconic Nude Lipliner, Hepburn Honey Lipstick and Blondie Gloss this is my current go to! I've also been pairing Kim K W Lipstick with MAC Whirl lipliner which I also love!
