Skin Nightmare!!

Hi Ladies,

I hope that you're all well.

I don't know what is wrong recently but my skin is an absolute NIGHTMARE!

Spotty with dry patches, looks terrible with AND without make up!

So, yesterday I dashed to Lush and picked up the below products:

Angels On Bare Skin Cleanser:


Taken from the Lush website:

'Angels on Bare Skin evens out skin tone, reduces redness and improves the health and appearance of your skin – giving a natural healthy glow.

The ground almonds in this product release their goodness and turn to an almond milk on your hand when you add water.

Almond milk has been used in many parts of the world for centuries as a toning and brightening ingredient.

We have mixed this with kaolin, to absorb grease and gently cleanse, vegetable glycerine to soften and moisturise the skin and a beautiful blend of essential oils, all chosen for their abilities to balance and tone the skin.

We then sprinkle the mix with lavender flowers as we roll it. Angels on Bare Skin is made from 100 percent natural ingredients – because when nature is this good, you don’t want to mess with her balance!

This is basically a solid that turns to a cleansing milk when you add the water. By taking out the water we have taken away the need to add preservatives – which makes this much kinder on your face and does not upset the skin's own microflora.

It is hard to tell you in words how fantastic this product is. Only by using it will you know its full value.'

Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask:


Taken from the Lush website:

'You know those times when you get one or two spots and it throws you into panic? Well, this mask is here to lend you a bit of perspective, to tell you to calm down, it’s not the end of the world and it’s nothing that can't be sorted. Basically, this is your best mate in a pot.

Irish moss gel will soften the skin, whilst almond oil will moisturise and leave it supple.

Fresh blueberries are full of vitamins and minerals and are anitoxidant. Rose absolute and chamomile essential oil will reduce redness and irritation. Calamine and talc will deep clean and soothe the skin at the same time.

Combined together they provide your skin with a good deep cleanse without causing puffiness – leaving the face cool, clear and calm.

This is a deep cleansing mask that it designed for regular maintenance to keep the skin clean and clear. Regular deep cleaning can avoid spots occurring and keep skin in top condition.'

I've used both products for the last few days so it would be unfair to provide a fair review just yet but used along with Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser and Origins Spot Remover, I have noticed my skin calming a little.

What do you do when your skin goes crazy? Are there any other recommendations for me to try?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you for reading.

Lots of love,
Amy

My Christmas Wish List

Hello Lovelies,

So, I love posts like this so thought that you might like to take a look at My Christmas Wish List. This is completely random but here are the thinks that I currently want to own (and some I'll NEVER own) but here goes....

I may as well give you the breakdown here because for some reason Blogger won't let me write under each item!

• Chanel Bag - No words or explanation needed
• Chanel Rouge Noir - A classic that I will repurchase again and again (brilliant dupe in Barry M though!)
• Fashionology Cross Bracelet - just because it's different
• Origins Ginger Souffle - it reminds me of Christmas and is so moisturising
• Dogeared Guardian Angel Necklace - I love anything wing related and this is so pretty and delicate
• Jemma Kidd Light As Air Foundation - Purely because I am a make up junkie and CANNOT resist rave reviews from other bloggers!
• Jo Malone Candles - Last forever, smell gorgeous and look so pretty
• Dogeared Karma Necklace - I don't even know why, I'm just desperate for it!

Thank you so much for reading.

More posts to follow....

Love, Amy

My Favourite Products For Winter..

Hi Lovelies,

It's the weekend!

I was thinking about the products that I like to use in Winter and I thought that you might like to take a look...

Origins Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream: 

If you have never tried this, you have to at LEAST smell it! It's really moisturising on the skin and the scent makes me think of Christmas immediately.


The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector:

This is the best hand cream that have ever used. I love the fact that you can reapply this to your hands every two minutes (literally) if you wish, and there will never be a greasy/oily residue on your skin. I use this on my feet too and pop on some socks as a treatment.

Bio-Oil:

I mix a little of this with my moisturiser before bed and find that it really evens out my skintone and brightens up my skintone by morning.

Soap And Glory Flake Away Body Exfoliator:

I don't know about you but sometimes I find exfoliating the body a bit of a chore. This little beauty makes it a treat! It smells delicious (the fragrance lingers on the skin too), quickly exfoliates the skin and leaves a light oil residue that makes the skin glow.


Also, I can't live without Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream in the Winter months!

I hope that you enjoyed this post. I tag Tali, Zara, Laura, Dulce and Vivianna!

Thank you for reading.

Love, Amy
