Bath & Body Works Revisited

When it comes to my favourite body creams hands down Bath & Body Works wins every time. With a sweet array of fragrances that can take you from sipping cocktails on a beach, to walking through a forest of a fresh flowers or even curled in front of a log fire on a winters evening, they really are the definition of heaven in a bottle. After being introduced to the brand a good few years ago I have always been a loyal customer. The only slight issue is that I live in the UK... and being an American company, Bath & Body Works isn't particularly local. This proves quite a problem when I run out and have to travel 4000+ miles just to repurchase. Lucky for me I tend to go to the states every year so it's always a very good chance to stock up! Last year I wrote a post featuring my favourite Bath & Body Work lotions and this year I have four more that I've tried and tested.

Wishlist | May

Lancome Energie De Vie Liquid Moisturiser | £28

I first heard about the the new Energie De Vie range by Suzanne Jackson at So Sue Me and I've been intrigued ever since. I've begun considering my skincare regime a lot more seriously recently have noticed a huge difference in my skin so I'm desperate to keep it up. This range sounds to be so beautifully fresh, reviving dull skin and ensuring that it's kept hydrated. The perfect base to flawless looking skin!

What I Got For Christmas

The Christmas festivies have sadly all come to an end but I'm so excited to read about all the lovely new gifts that everyone has received, no doubt my wishlist will be extended even more over the next few weeks! I was really lucky and was given so many  lovely items that I couldn't wait to talk about. I'll be doing more of an in-depth review of some of the products  but for now here's a little sneak peak of just a few of my favourites!

Favourite Body Lotion: Bath and Body Works

I always love to use a really nice body lotion after showering to leave my skin feeling soft and smelling extra fresh. My ultimate favourite is Bath and Body Works which, as said in the name, specialises in bath and body products ranging from shower gels and soaps to lotions and perfumes, or even candles and fragrance plugs for the home. They are the most gorgeous fragrances and particularly fitting for the summer.

Base On The Face

Having done a make-up course at university and being a huge beauty fanatic, I've accumulated a lot of make-up. Truthfully some of it has just been pushed to the back of my drawers and been totally forgotten about but generally most of it I do still use in rotation. In terms of what base I use it often depends on the type of coverage that I want whether it be full coverage for an evening out or something light and dewy for a summers day.  Providing my skins cooperating and I haven't had a huge breakout, this little combination has been working really well for me at the moment.

Wish List | November

La Roche-Posay- Pigmentclar Eyes £24.50

I've recently come across this eye serum from La Roche-Posay which is said to rectify dark rings under the eyes; something that I am forever trying to conceal. The skin under our eyes is extremely delicate and needs lots of extra care and attention so I've been on the look out for  a product that really works and will reduce my reliance on concealer, whilst also helping to keep the area hydrated and prevent creases forming. This caffeine combined cream by La Roche-Posay is said to do just that so I'm hoping that this could turn out to be a staple product in my make-up bag.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light

All hail Aqualia Thermal Light! My all time favourite facial moisturiser. I've tried and tested so many different moisturisers over the years but so far Vichy has outdone them all! It leaves my skin feeling so refreshed and hydrated, which I always believe is the perfect base to start with before applying primer and foundation. There have been times when I've attempted to be frugal and gone for a slightly cheaper moisturiser but I always end up returning to my trusty Aqualia Thermal.

Wish List | October

 

Care- Almond Oil £1.59

Almond Oil is a product that I have seen recommended on Pixiwoo . It's considered a natural oil to remove eye make up and keep the skin looking healthy and nourished. As renowned make-up artists and with a wealth of knowledge behind them this is a piece of advice that I'm more than willing to try. I 'm intrigued to see if it really does work wonders to benefit my complexion.
