My current skincare saviours from Kiehl's

Hi Beauties,

My skin had been feeling pretty dry lately, with patches of dry peeling skin, uneven skin tone and generally looking a bit blegghhh!  So I went shopping the other day with the intention to go into Kiehl's to buy some skincare.  I have heard so many fantastic reviews and comments about the Kiehl's range that my mind was made up.....and I can happily say, no regrets.

When I walked in, the lady offered to measure the hydration levels of my skin, with a cool little gadget, as suspected, I was really dehydrated.  The lady in store recommended these two product's, one being the Powerful strength line reducing concentrate, not that I am old and wrinkly just yet, I believe prevention is better than cure, and the other being The hydro plumping re-texturising serum concentrate.

I am so happy to have been recommended these two products my skin is so very grateful for them.

Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate:-
This bottle of goodness, claims to reduce those fine lines, the ones found around the corners of the mouth and the outer corners of the eyes, it improves skin appearance and texture.  I have been using this for 3 weeks and I have already seen an improvement in the condition of my skin.
It has 10.5% of vitamin C which is known to brighten and tighten the skin, also good for those fine lines.  It also has an ingredient called Propylene glycol, which is used as a moisture carrying ingredient and absorbs water from the air.  So far my face feels softer, smoother and whenever I apply this, my skin has a bright glow to it.  It absorbs really quickly into my skin and doesn't leave no sticky residue after.  I am a fan of layering and have been using it underneath The hydro plumping re-texturising serum.  The Powerful Line Reducing Concentrate can be found HERE

The Hydro Plumping Re-texturising serum :-
This product claims to deeply hydrate the deeper layers of skin by using a liquid to serum formula while plumping and smoothing fine lines.  Initially when I felt the texture it actually felt like a primer, the type you use before foundation,  I didn't think it would do much other than sit on the top layer of my skin.  When I then applied it the  serum absorb straight into my skin and didn't leave an oily residue behind making my skin feel really smooth and fresh instantly.

I have been using the two products together since purchasing 3 weeks ago.  I am so impressed in the appearance of my skin at the moment, it feels and looks so much more healthier.  I am the type of girl that wears foundation everyday, not because I necessarily need it, but more for that overall even look and finish.  Since using both of these on my skin I've not had to wear foundation and like how my skin is looking without foundation. The Hydro Plumping Re-texturising serum can be found HERE

Overall I am loving the Kiehl's products so far and can't wait to try more in the range.  Do you use any Kiehl's products? Or are there any skincare products you are loving this time of year?

Blogmas Day 4- beauty advent calendar- spot light lipgloss- The edit

Hi Beauties,

Todays beauty calendar was a lovely surprise as it was a Spot light lipgloss.... I love getting makeup treats.  The shade was a gorgeous Hot pinky red, conveniently called HOT.  I loved how it felt on my lips it glided on like a lip cream but had a high gloss finish.

It had a mirror and an led spot light that you press at the top of the lid.  So so handy when you are out and about for the party season you just need this one lipgloss and don't need to carry a mirror around in your bag or look for lighting on a night out.  Really lovely product.  Quick tip don't do what I did, I nearly blinded myself with led light, warning it's very bright. :)

I think they can be found on amazon? However, I am not entirely sure.  If any one else knows where I can get more from this range I'd love to know where?

**THE EDIT**  I have since found out that Sue Moxley products are available in selected Tesco extra stores nationwide..... makes perfect sense since it is a Tesco beauty advent calendar :)

Blogmas-Day 3- Advent calendar treat.

 

Hi Beauties,

For day 3 of my advent calendar I got the Paul smith Extreme fragrance.
I've not smelt this before but was totally surprised at how nice it actually does smell.
It has a warm powdery floral scent.  It reminds me of christmas and the winter season.

 

Blogmas day 2:- Beauty advent calendar- Tanya Burr Nail Polish

Hi Beauties,

I will  be posting twice today and a third later on today to catch up with my beauty advent calendar as today is day 4!....

I am a huge fan of Tanya burr, she was one of the first beauty vloggers I came across and who inspired me to venture into the world of blogging and vlogging, (still a working progress).

So when I opened the second day of my beauty advent calendar I was so happy to have received a Tanya burr nail product!

This gorgeous colour is perfect for winter and I only needed 2 coats which is pretty good.  It is a dark sparkly purple called Midnight sparkle.  I loved the packaging too and the small attention to detail like the pink heart on top of the lid.

Can't wait to try more from her range this nail polish is for sale for £3.99 in Superdrug! Grab yourself a bargain!

Tesco Beauty Advent Calendar 24 days of Beauty:- Day 1- Eylure lashes and my TIPS

Hi Beauties!

It has been some time since I blogged but I assure you there is a good reason (well I hope you all see it as a good enough reason) keep checking the blog to find out :)

Soooo as you all probably know it's the 1st of DECEMBER! A very festive month for us all, whether you choose to celebrate it or not we all get drawn into the festive offers in store and  all the bright lights around!  It is also the time of year when blogggers do blogmas and vloggers do vlogmas.  It simply means that you blog or vlog everyday of December preferably all christmassy and festive related.

Now I am aware I have been slacking so I don't want to make any promises as yet, but I recently purchased a beauty advent calendar from Tesco!  I thought it would be really exciting to show you everyday what I get in the calendar and if I'm brave enough a few other non related advent calendar posts in between.

I present to you.... the 1st day of December surprise....

I personally couldn't have asked for anything better.  I love eye related products and false lashes are my number one favourite item!

You get the number 116 which is lengthening, perfect for a day look or evening look.
All my friends come to me when they want them stuck on so I seem to be a little bit of a pro at applying them.

Here are my tips at applying a set of lashes.

1) Apply all your makeup first including liquid eyeliner if you are using it.

2) Personally I don't apply mascara to my lashes until AFTER I have stuck lashes on, I find this works better for me as the strip sticks better.

3) Line up the strip and if its too long, trim the outer edge little by little until you are happy with how they sit.

4) Apply the glue to the strip lash line and with a pair of tweezers whoosh them around in the air so it becomes a little bit tacky.

5) Then look down and with your tweezers  place on lash line really really close to the root,  then flip tweezers around using the blunt side and gently press all free edges into place.

6) Slowly look up making sure you haven't accidentally stuck a few from your bottom lashes onto the top, if you have don't panic, using the blunt side of the tweezers look to the side and release them.

7) Once you are finally happy with how they are sitting apply your liquid liner close to the strip lash line to help conceal it more and with a mascara wand press your natural lashes onto your strip, don't  apply up and down like you would normally literally press it into the lashes, for me this acts like an extra safety barrier.

Hopefully with all those steps in place you will have long flirty fluttery lashes all night and they won't lift either!

Let me know how you get on, does any one else have a Beauty advent calendar and will you be sharing your goodies too?
