January Favourites

When the new year came around I couldn't believe it was 2015 and now it's already the end of January! I have been using a lot of products this month, some old and some new, but I've narrowed it down to a couple of my favourites that I think deserve a mention!

Kiehl's Blue Herbal Moisturiser



I have been using this product for about 3 months now and I honestly don't think I could live without it, well, I could live, but you know what I mean! I have extremely oily skin so I'm prone to breakouts and before I started using this moisturiser I found it really difficult to keep spots away, I wouldn't go a day without at least one of those horrible sore, red, under-the-skin type of spots. It has salicylic acid in which helps to shed the top layer of dead skin cells that can clog your pores and cause breakouts, it also has ginger root extract in which helps to absorb any excess oil. I use a thick amount at night, sleep in it and then wash off in the morning. I have been using it for about 3 months now and my skin is 10x better without a spot in sight! 

YSL Fusion Ink Foundation


Since I started wearing make-up the only foundations I have used are ones from Boots that cost less that £10, I used to think Loreal's True Match foundation was my holy grail until I took the plunge and treated myself to the new YSL Fusion Ink! It's so lightweight which makes it feel like your hardly wearing any make-up, I do need to put concealer on any red patches but it still gives really good coverage and after a 9 hour day in work it still looks pretty good.

Sensationail


Sensationail is a gel nail varnish kit that is very similar to 'Shellac' used in salons but more affordable, really easy to use and you don't have to have any qualifications to use it. In an effort to save money on getting my nails done at a salon i have been using my sensationail kit a lot this month, if it's done right it can last 2 weeks or more without chipping. I really like that it keeps my nails strong underneath and stops them from breaking.

The Body Shop Lip Pencil


If your looking for a "your lips but better" colour or you want to achieve the Kylie Jenner look that's been around lately then this is the perfect lip pencil! the colour last for hours even when your eating and drinking. I have been wearing it all of January and in obsessed! 

Pinterest


Who doesn't love Pinterest? I think I spend a little bit too much time pinning places I want to go and inspirational quotes. It's where I get most of my outfit, hair and make-up ideas from. 

Lauren's Way tan


I have tried so many fake tans in the search for the perfect one that doesn't smell of curry and turn orange. This is the best tan I have used so far... it doesn't smell bad and the colour is perfect. It has a guide colour so you can see where you have applied it and then you have to leave it on overnight for it to develop... It leaves you with the most natural golden brown, just stepped off the plane after a fortnight in the Bahamas, tan.

New year, new blog!

I have steered clear from the cliché "new year, new me" quotes this new year, which, let's face it, no one really sticks to, and instead have decided to put my resolution of creating my own blog in to action. So, here I am! 

I'm completely new to the world of blogging so I'm still getting the hang of things like how to organise the layout, figuring out what font and colour scheme I'm happy with and how to insert pictures, you know, the super important stuff!

I'm going to be writing about a variety of things that I'm interested in such as beauty, fashion and travelling. I will have my first actual post up in the next few days which will be my "January favourites", I hope you enjoy!
