Small Haul: Jo Malone, Rimmel & L'Oréal

Today I went shopping with some family for my mum's birthday; I thought I would share what I bought...

Firstly I popped in to Jo Malone because I wanted to test the colognes that have recently been released but instead I purchased Wild Bluebell.

My next stop was Superdrug where I picked up some eyeliners from Rimmel and L'Oréal. I don't normally wear eyeliner at all unless its white and on my water line, but someone suggested I try brown so its not so harsh looking and speaking of harsh, I also bought a nude eyeliner as I've heard that it is supposed to look more natural than white. Also recently I have been wearing liquid liner winged out on my top lash line but the one I have been using is almost dried up because I haven't touched it since I bought it... last year! I thought I would give L'Oréal Super Liner Perfect Slim a try.

Skincare Picks: Cleansers

In my 'foundations I regret buying' post I mentioned a really bad breakout that I experienced at the start of this year that only got worse after switching up my skincare and using Clinique anti-blemish solutions (please note that I am not saying that the Clinique products are terrible products, they simply didn't work for me, I know people that it worked wonders for). My skin is very oily on my t-zone especially on my nose but I have dry cheeks and the area around my lips, it is very sensitive and gets irritated very easily and I still suffer from mild breakouts. The breakouts I suffered from got so bad that my full face was in pain so I was prescribed medication to help clear my skin and I have since found products that work for me and don't cause further breakouts or irritation. I use the following products on rotation: Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish I use this most days morning & night because it is quick and easy to use; you apply this to a dry face and rub ...

Summer Glow: NARS Copacabana Illuminator

You may have noticed from yesterdays post that I love glowing makeup especially in the summer as it just looks stunning when the sun is shining. Luckily mother nature is on my side having blessed me with oily skin and its really not that bad if you work with it (have a read at this post from Into the Gloss) but I just can't stop myself layering on some extra glow from a tube! There is so many ways to apply this; you can apply it before you apply your base or you can mix it with your foundation and you can apply it after your makeup to your cheekbones etc. I have tried all the methods and I love them all but I have been using this on my colar bones and the tops of my shoulders and it leaves a beautiful sunkissed sheen. Copacabana is a pale, pinked toned illuminator but they do have other shades available that may suit your skintone better. Nars Cosmetics can be purchaced from narscosmetics.co.uk or via spacenk.com
