Clarins Fix' make up refreshing mist


I've been loving using this Clarins mist to set and refresh my make up these last few weeks we've had a bit of sun! It makes everything look finished and fresh all day!
It's a refreshing mist that can set your make-up and prolongs its hold, while providing you with a feeling of instant freshness and well-being. Also provides continuous hydration and comfort. It's main ingredients are - Rose cohobat: helps softens - Grapefruit: helps brightens - Silica Microspheres: helps controls shine.
Best way to apply - Especially recommended for use throughout the day, in the dehydrating atmosphere of air-conditioned offices. In a hot climate, it's perfect to spritz straight from the fridge.
You can pick it up now for £23 for 30ml, you only need a light spritz so the bottle should last a good few months if not longer.
How do you prefer to set your make up?

Real Techniques Collectors Edition Sculpting Set.



Another amazing value set from Real Techniques which includes three brushes - Sculpting Brush, Fan Brush and a Setting Brush - Accentuate your favourite features, create defined contours for added depth, or simply enhance your natural bone structure with RT's Collector’s Edition Sculpting Set. With the use of light and dark makeup shades, this set gives you the flexibility to transform your look.
Each brush is a special design: a sleek, high-shine pink instead of the classic matte.
- sculpting brush: features a wide, angled head specially designed to help create defined contours
- fan brush (exclusive to set): softly sweeps on powders + whisks away any excess makeup for an even finish
- setting brush: the key to completing any look with a controlled dusting of powder or highlighter
They certainly don't disappoint, I love every single one of them.. I've never owned a Fan brush as thought they were rather pointless, but once I'd tried it to apply my highlighter.. I'm a complete convert! It just applies like a dream making my highlighter look so much more natural, as it leaves such a light dusting of the product. The setting brush is also great for contouring the sides of my nose if I choose to do a full on face contour otherwise I just use to set my under eye powder.. The sculpting brush is perfect for contour & 'Sculpting' my cheek bones.. A great set for everyone.
Available in stores now as released March 2015 for £19.99.

Urban Decay - eyeshadow in Dive Bar



Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Dive Bar* is described as a “medium blue with pink-purple shift.” It’s a muted, medium-dark, bright blue with lighter violet shimmer and sheen. It has a semi-opaque colour, it is very buildable and applied well to bare skin. The texture feels almost like a cream product, and it had no fall out or powdery, It goes on well and blends beautifully. It lasted for eight hours on me. I've used it as an eye liner to darken a neutral eye look and I have also worn in my crease to add a little colour to a smokey look.. It's a colour I wouldn't usually go for but am so glad I now have it in my collection to brighten up my looks.
Available from all good beauty outlets for £14.00

Urban Decay - Afterglow 8-hour Blush in Quickie




Urban Decay Afterglow 8hr blush* in Quickie is described as a “bright pink.” It’s a medium, magenta pink with cool, blue undertones and a mostly matte finish, The formula is buildable and wears for eight long hours. It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with two to three applications of product. I only needed the lightest touch for it to show up on my fair skin tone, so medium to deeper complexions should be able to adjust their application to easily use this as they choose! It is such a bright, vibrant shade and scared me at first sight but as with all colours you can make them work for you.. Whether it's mixing with another colour to make a custom shade or to apply with a light hand, it looks gorgeous with a neutral eye and lip to bring your fave alive.
Available from all good beauty outlets for £19.00

The Body Shop - VITAMIN E EYES CUBE LIMITED EDITION


As most of you are probably aware I became a new Mummy again for the second time to another gorgeous Girl six weeks ago today, she likes to wake up several times a night for a little gossip over a bottle of milk!... As I have to get up and be ready to leave the house for 8.25am to take my eldest to school, my poor little eyes look like 'pee holes in the snow'.. So as you can imagine I'm a little tired these days and require a little extra help in the skincare, make up area... I discovered this little beauty and can now not live without it..
It's a little miracle! In just one gentle sweep over each eye, it instantly revives and refreshes them to fight signs of tiredness caused by dryness. Enriched with wheatgerm oil, one of the highest natural sources of vitamin E, the Eyes Cube protects the eye area with moisture.
- Enriched with wheatgerm oil, a source of vitamin E
- Cooling, lightweight application for instantly revived and refreshed eye area
- Super gentle on the eye area, with a non-sticky texture and easy-glide application
- Handbag-friendly format for on-the-go touch-ups
It makes me look and feel wide awake due to the cooling sensation it provides, leaving my eyes looking and feeling moisturised and fresh instead of a zombie! I also love the pink and blue packaging it's so cute :)
It's available now from The Body Shop for £8.00, but at the moment it is limited edition, I really hope it becomes a permant product in the near future!
Do you have any tips to look more refreshed?

bareMinerals BARESKIN Pure Brightening Serum Foundation. This ultra-thin, lightweight, skin-perfecting fluid is a tone-correcting foundation and skincare serum in one. Get a flawless, more youthful-looking appearance with the natural finish and seamless coverage of this innovative foundation from bareMinerals.

Leaving me with a beautiful finish, it looks very natural on the skin which I love but easily hides any flaws - spots/freckles etc.. You can also layer by applying more drops of foundation if you wanted a complete full cover finish.

Sarah Chapman Morning Facial


I have been wanting to try this brand for sometime but as it is quite pricey I'd resisted, but when I was given the chance to try something from the brand I jumped at the chance - Sarah Chapman Skinesis Morning Facial* contains potent actives that deliver protection from environmental aggressors and deal with inflammation. As well as intensely hydrating the skin, it also regulates sebum production with its serum/oil hybrid formula. It boosts collagen to increase firmness and elasticity. If your skin is looking dull or tired, or it just needs a bit of a boost for a special occasion.
How it works..
Brightening – Maracuja oil (passion flower) is rich in vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus. The high content of essential fatty acids can stimulate the production of fibroblasts, cells that make collagen. Timecode inhibits free radicals (MMP’s) & Collagenase preventing the breakdown of the Extracellular Matrix and the synthesis of key genes. It prevents inflammation, which is now considered the main cause of premature skin ageing.
Defence – Vitamin A effectively protects against UV-induced collagen destruction and photo-damage by boosting cell renewal and increasing collagen fibres in the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Kalpariane: An algae that helps protect the skin’s firmness and elasticity while boosting the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It protects the skin efficiently with its anti-oxidant properties, a free radical scavenger, and an anti– collagenase.
Hydrating – Hydrasourcing is a complex of Mexican poppy cell and polysaccharides to correct skin imbalances at their source, repairing the skin’s moisture barrier. Argan Oil and Nyamplung oil contain up to 80% linoleic and oleic fatty acids, tocopherols and phenolic acids which help to repair damaged cells.
Plumping – Juvinity protects cells from oxidative damage, Ultra Filling Spheres: low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and high molecular weight polysachharides are merged to swell and visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles acting like a skin primer.
Wrinkles – Gatuline Intense works on the skin’s natural lifting properties by stimulating the fibroblast biomechanical functions helping to re-organize the dermis structure and visibly smooth the skin surface. Collageneer effectively increases skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating Type 1 Collagen synthesis. It also stimulates fibroblasts where it specifically ensures that a very high quality Collagen is produced.
How I use it..
I squirt a couple of drops into my palm, rubbing my hands together gently to warm it up, I then massage it into clean, dry skin. It has a beautiful jasmine and neroli aroma, which is lovely to wake you in the morning! Make sure you don’t use too much – a little goes a long way – it will sink beautifully into the skin, leaving you looking refreshed, youthful just like you've had a restful nights sleep.
At £45.00 for 15ml, it is a luxury product, but as you only need a couple of drops each time and maybe only need to use as a weekly treat it should last you a good while. I have been using 3 times a week for the past fortnight and my skin does look more refreshed, as I'm currently suffering from pregnancy insominia it stops me looking like a sleep deprived zombie! Woo hoo :)
