My Must Have Products

Ok so... first proper blog! Thought I would start by introducing you to my MUST HAVES These little beauties below have become real favourites of mine that I would happily recommended to anyone!

LIZ EARLE CLEANSE & POLISH
Lets start with my cleansing routine which I swear by! It changed my skin for the better! When I stopped using this when I ran out, spots popped up all over so... mad dash to John Lewis!! The idea is that you massage the cleanser all over the face and neck, soak the muslin cloth in luke warm water then start to buff the cleanser off. It cleanses thorough and gives slight exfoliation when using the muslin cloth. I feel soo clean and fresh after using this and satisfied it has removed all makeup! I would describe it like a mousse-cream texture.. smells lovely.. kinda 'spa like'
After removing I use the skin tonic on some cotton wool to refresh and brighten! Its such a bargain price. I believe it retails at around £11.50 for the cleanser and similar for the tonic water. Liz Earle also do a mini starter kit so you can try before investing in the large sizes.

CHANEL VITALUMIERE AQUA
Ok.. I don't know if you're like me but for years I have been on the hunt for that 'perfect foundation' that gives coverage without feeling or looking heavy. I never thought such a thing existed untill I tried Vitalumiere Aqua! Fleurdeforce has done a youtube video review on this and shows it well. This is how Chanel describe it:
Its soft and evanescent ultra-fine fluid texture is a real surprise. Although it is exceptionally delicate and light, an incomparable “second-skin” perfecting result is achieved. The complexion appears amazingly even, fresh and energized. The skin glows with seemingly nude beauty. As if glowing from within. Bathed in light…
It really does give you cover without feeling like you are wearing it. Perfect for all skin types, I am normal/oily and this stays put on me all day! I must add this is no double wear or mac studio fix coverage wise! But you need to try it to see!! RRP £31
I apply it with a MAC 187  but fingertips just do as good a job!
LASH PERFECT LASH EXTENSIONS
Ok.. so these are a luxury but I serioulsy cannot live without them! I first had them for a holiday in September 2010 and now they are a permanent addition to my beauty regime! They make me feel so much better as naturally I am not blessed in the lash department! I visit Capulet Spa in Derby and I cannot recommended them enough.. they always do a fantastic job!!

FAMOUS DAVE TANNING MOUSSE (GOLD EDITION) & FAMOUS DAVE GRADUAL 10
Amaaaazzzinnnng.... I always get asked where I have been after using this combo! After having a mole removed last year I am definitely more aware about looking after my skin. I have tried all the self tans out there... you name it... I have tried it! Someone recommended me Famous Dave and at the time it was only available online (now available in Debenhams and Boots) I thought .. why not.. Ive tried the rest. It is hands down the best I have ever used. Gives me that holiday tan without the streaks, orange tone or smell (you no the biscuity roast chicken smell)that comes with most self tan. The website is brilliant as it guides you to which variety would best suit your skin tone. I opted for the Dark mousse.. hehe... and I love it. I have since bought the gradual 10 which is a buildable moisturiser which builds up to a natural tan. This can also be used every other day to prolong the wear and colour of the self tans. They are slighty pricier than average I would say as the mousse retails at £24.95 and Gradual 10 is £17.99

I hope you have enjoyed reading!
