Christmas Presents I'm loving

Hi Guys!

It's been a while since I last Blogged but I've been SO busy

over the X-mas period especially with the little one and what not.

I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and enjoyed whatever it

was that you participated in :)

So on we go...

I thought I'd share some of the presents I am loving 
that I was given for Christmas. 

(My intention of this is not to "rub it in" or "boast" about these things I just 

purely would like to share them so that you may try them out yourself or

let me know what you think of them if you already have them)

So I thought I'd start with my eyeshadow palette by 'Sleek'.

They do all different kinds of colours & sets but I needed a simple,

natural earthy kind of palette and this one is perfect!

This is the packaging which I think looks quite smart and...well

sleek haha

This is the name of the palette; 'Au Naturel 601'.

And this of course is the palette,which is gorgeous! 

Here's a closer look.

I love 'Sleek' products they always are nicely presented, good quality products,

nice ranges and most importantly, they are affordable! 

Here is their website which I recommend you check out if you haven't already.

Next is a 'Soap&Glory' set.

Ohhh do I love Soap&Glory. I'm very obsessed with smelly things 

and bathe things,so this is a little slice of heaven for me.

This is called 'Butter yourself' and it is a moisturiser which smells sooo

yummy I always want to lick it...but then remember that's

probably not a good idea...

Anyway, it has notes of frozen yuzu, orange oil, green fig and 

jungle pomelo essence. So you can get an idea of how this would smell!

(For best results use this after using a scrub and when your skin 

is still a bit damp)

This is called 'Foam Call' and this is a dual shower & bath

body wash with peppermint essential oils, grapeseed EFAs, 

fruitilquid fig and orange waterjuice. 

Again this smells delish and is very handy that you can use

it in the bath or shower.

And my favourite of the 3 is 'Flake away' which is a

fruity exfoliator to use all over your body.

(I apologise for the massive finger dips but I just grab hand fulls

of it when using it)

This is a very grainy exfoliator which sounds obvious but some

exfoliators just aren't very grainy and don't remove all the dead skin

cells as it's quite soft so this is very good for that. 

It's quite waxy as well so it feels very moisturizing as you're using it.

I especially love using this before I put fake tan on as you don't

want rough patches.

So use the exfoliator first, then the shower/bath wash

and then the moisturizer and your skin will

look and feel amazing!

This is a fake tan mousse by 'Laurens Way' in shade 

'Darker than dark'.

Now in all honesty I wasn't sure whether to ask for this

shade or a lighter one but I'm glad I picked this one

as usually I'll try out a tan and it takes ages to develop and

when it does it isn't as brown as you hoped and it can be quite patchy 

and flake away quite easily.

This i just use the once and it comes out a really nice deep 

brown and it stays brown for quite a while and so far it hasn't 

gone all flaky after a few showers. 

It also glides on really easily and leaves my skin feeling smooth.

However like any fake tan I'd advise you to exfoliate first 

to avoid any patchy bits on your elbows,knees,ankles and hands.

Next is the 'Dior' blush set in number 849.

This colour is so beautiful I recommend it for everyone as

it's such a soft shade and it's warm without being too orange or pink.

I always struggle with blushers as pink undertones do not suit 

me at all but then too peachy doesn't suit me either so this

is perfect for me. No wonder it's their most popular colour!

The packaging is also lovely and compact with a handy little mirror

and a brush that is so good to apply with. 

I would do a swatch to show the colour but it is really delicate

and wouldn't show up brilliantly on camera.

It's one of those less is more products.

And last but not least is a concealer by the 'Fit Me' range

by 'Maybelline'. 

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It helps

cover my dark circles really well and just gives you a nice

fresh skin glow. 

That's it from me folks. Sorry it was a bit long!

I've got lots of things I want to review and show soon that

 hopefully you'll enjoy :)

Bye guys
