THINGS I LIKE

Hi lovelies! So, if you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm absolutely useless when it comes to monthly favourites posts, useless meaning I don't do them, ever. I used to do monthly favourites, as I find them really useful and interesting to read, but when it comes to my own, I just don't switch up my products enough or have a good enough memory to do them every single month. So, for today's post, I figured I'd just show you all a few things I've been using non stop lately and just update you all as when I have new obsessions!

Pink Smile Bag - similarhere
I recently bought this pink bag from ebay and I absolutely love it. I didn't have much luck with the seller I purchased this bag through unfortunately, so I was waiting quite a while for it to arrive, but it dideventuallyand I'm obsessed! It's not the most grown up choice of colour, but I figured as it was pretty cheap and pink's in this season anyway!

Estée Lauder Daywear*
I received this recently in my 'selfie kit' from World Duty Free and I won't lie, I looked at it and thought 'meh', as I've never really liked tinted moisturisers before. Well, I was proved wrong, this is far from a 'meh' product! This has a pretty good coverage for a tinted moisturiser, it leaves my skin smooth, even and healthy looking, while still remaining light on the skin. This has been my savior on early mornings when I just can't be bothered with a full face of makeup.

Marc Jacobs Daisy*
This was a perfume I'd been umming and ahhing about for thelongest时间,似乎每个人都爱this so when I got the opportunity to try it I was super excited. I love this as it's so light and fresh, it's a pretty, classy scent absolutely perfect for everyday. I think this would make a fab Christmas gift for almost any girl or woman as I think it's pretty much suitable for all ages. I've been wearing this perfume non stop and have received so many compliments on it - new obsession for sure!

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and Special Cleansing Gel*
I was recently sent little sample sizes of this cleanser and exfoliator from Dermalogica and I've been absolutely loving them. The cleanser is fab as it foams up when you use it, which always makes me feel like I'm getting my skin extra clean! The exfoliator is a little different than usual, in that it's literally just a dry powder/ sandy consistency, you add a little water to a little sprinkling of this and it creates a really gentle but very effective exfoliator. This is perfect for me as my skin can be a little sensitive in the winter, so having something a little less rough on the skin has been perfect. I just wish the full sizes weren't so expensive!

YSL Touche Éclat*
This is one of those products you hear about over and over again, but as it's so expensive you put off trying it again and again, until one day, it lands in a pile of blogger mail! Or at least that's what happened to me and I am inlove.This is one of those products that just feels luxurious to use, it's so hyped up and I can totally see why. I love using this to make me look a little more awake in the morning. I'd never really used a specific under eye concealer before, but this has completely converted me. It's also amazing to use as a liquid highlight on the cheekbones and on the bridge of your nose. And let's face it, it looks reallyreallynice in your makeup bag.

What have you been loving lately?

THE PERFECT SELFIE WITH WORLD DUTY FREE*





Hi lovelies! Recently, I was contacted by the completely amazing people at World Duty Free, who asked me if I'd like to take part in the World Duty Free 'Selfie Challenge', in which they send the 'Selfie Kit' to help create the perfect selfie. As it was Duty Free, I figured it would be travel size products so you can imagine my surprise when I opened this packages to findninefull sized products inside this cute patterned wash bag! Excited was an understatement.

My Selfie Kit included; Bobbi Brown Brow Kit, YSL Travel Selection Palette, Benefit The POREfessional, Benefit They're Real Mascara, Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick, Estee Lauder Daywear Tinted Moisturiser, YSL Touche Eclat, Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer and Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Balm.

To create my 'perfect selfie' look, I first applied Benefit Porefessional Primer, (which is my absolute favourite primer!) to smooth my skin and prepare for the rest of my makeup. I then applied Estee Lauder Daywear in place of foundation, I wouldn't normally go for a tinted moisturiser as I've never got on with them before but I was seriously impressed with this one - I'll hopefully do a full review very soon! Next, I applied YSL Touche Eclat under my eyes, which is another product I'd never tried before and will hopefully review very soon, followed by concealer on any areas of redness and then a light dusting of powder to mattify my skin. I then used the YSL Palette, using the peachy colour all over my lid, with the brown on the outer corner, then I added winged liner and Benefit They're Real Mascara. I then applied a light dusting of the Guerlain Bronzer to contour with the YSL Palette blush on the apples of my cheeks. I used the Elizabeth Arden lip balm under a nude lipstick for my lips as I was using this to create a daytime look. The Clarins Lipstick and Bobbi Brown Brow Kit were both a little dark for my tastes, but I'm going to try using the lippie as a lip stain and the palette as brown eyeshadows so it's all good! The great thing about the Bobbi Brown palette is it comes with a teeny tiny pair of high quality tweezers, making it amazing for travel.

What do you think of this incredible 'Selfie Kit'? Would you like to see any of these products reviewed in full? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
