Aveeno Bath & Shower Oil

Aveeno Bath & Shower Oil

Hello Ladies,

Hope you're all keeping well, once again sorry for my absence, I've been having a hectic few weeks!

I've been meaning to share this with you all for a while now as I'm totally smitten with it (and on bottle number 3 may I add!!). I first bought it in boots as I'd been looking for a nice bath oil and I'm already quite well acquainted with the Aveeno range and so far I've always been impressed with it. I don't particularly suffer from dry skin but the difference this has made to me is unbelievable! 

The oil contains colloidal oatmeal which is known to moisturise, soften and soothe itchy skin, I've done a bit of research into it and it's meant to be great for sufferers of Eczema and Psoriasis as well as being good for sunburn, chicken pox and other itchy rashes. It's also suitable to use on babies and young children suffering from dry skin.

The oil itself  is amazing as it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy and 'coated'. To use it in the bath you simply add 2 tablespoons to warm running water, the oil appears as a sort of gloopy brown liquid but once it  comes in contact with warm water it turns white and milky, I love that it turns my bath water white, it makes me feel like Cleopatra in her milk baths! Hehe! To use it in the shower you just massage the oil into your skin and rinse it off. The oil itself cleanses so theres no need for harsh shower gels or soaps. The oil smells amazing, I think it smells like babies (minus the poop), and I can smell it on my skin for the rest of the day yet its not over-powering. My skin is left feeling super soft and pampered and without the need to moisturise so its definitely a time saver!

It costs €9.74 (£8.19) for 250ml from boots and I have to say that it's well worth it, I'm definitely going to keep buying this again and again! Have you tried this? If so, what did you think?

Korres Lip Butter - Quince

Hello Ladies,

Hope you're all keeping well! The weather here is awful, it’s just so miserable! So much for spring! Its times like this though that I really appreciate my Korres Lip Butter. The cold and the wind always leaves me with really dry chapped lips but not when I have this little gem at my disposal! I picked it up a couple of months ago and had very high hopes for it because quite frankly I think that €12 is a ridiculous price for a lip butter but I needed a bit of luxury in my life and I'm glad to say that it hasn't let me down!

I chose to get it in Quince and I adore it! It’s a sheer pink shade and it looks really glossy on. It smells and tastes gorgeous too which is definitely an added bonus! Another thing that I love about this product is that it feels really light on and there’s no horrible stickiness when you're wearing it, in this weather the last thing you need is your hair sticking to your lips in the wind!!

The lip butters contain Shea Butter and Rice Wax which nourish and moisturise and form a barrier against the elements to protect your lips. Quince itself is also known to be moisturising and have anti-inflammatory properties and it gets even better, they're suitable for vegans too!! When you consider all the good quality ingredients that go into them little pots and the great job that they do I'd say that they're worth the hefty price tag. I’ll definitely be trying out some of the other shades and flavours!

Have you tried any of the Korres Lip Butters? What did you think? I'm also curious about their other products now, if you've used any other Korres products I’d love to hear about them! 

Urban Decay Naked Flushed

Hello Ladies!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I've discovered so much since my last post that I don't even know where to begin! I've decided to start with the latest addition to my collection.

Urban Decay Naked Flushed

I am head over heels in love with this little beauty! My lovely best friend got it for me as a birthday present and it’s been reached for every day since! It consists of a bronzer, a highlighter and a blusher all presented in a nice sturdy little palette with a good sized mirror. It’s the perfect size for popping into your handbag!

As always with Urban Decay the pigmentation is amazing! You only need the gentlest of touches to get great results and it blends beautifully.  I especially love the highlighter. I’d even go as far as to say that it’s the best powder highlighter I've ever used! It leaves such a gorgeous dewy look to my skin and makes me look really fresh faced. It’s a soft pink shimmery champagne shade but it’s not OTT. The blusher is absolutely fab, its rose coloured with a hint of shimmer and it gives such a natural finish. I would say that its suitable for most skin tones. The bronzer is gorgeous and is great for fair skinned ladies like myself as it’s not too dark but can be built up easily for more colour. It’s a satin finish bronzer and gives a lovely golden sunkissed look.

(bronzer, highlighter, blusher)

I can't recommend this palette enough and at €26 its a great price for 3 really good quality products. All 3 products would be suitable for most skin tones and its such a versatile little palette, its perfect for day to day makeup or can be built up a bit for a stunning evening look. Well done Urban Decay, You've outdone yourselves again! I honestly can't say a bad thing about it!

Have you tried it yet? If so what did you think?

AWOL

Hello Ladies,

This is just a quick post to apologise for my severe lack of posts! Sadly my mum recently passed away so I haven't felt much like doing anything nor have I had the time. I'm hoping to get posting again over the next few days and I have sooo much to share with you! Thanks for hanging in there! :)
