Review; Elemis Fresh Skin Skin Clear Mattifying Moisturiser;

I dont suffer from oily skin, but when it comes to summer time I do tend to get a bit hot and sticky around my t-zone which helps melt my makeup off, boo! I picked this up in a magazine a couple of weeks ago on a whim as like I said I dont tend to suffer from oily skin. Ive started using this underneath my my foundation and primer as my new daytime moisturiser. It has a really weird scent, which to me smells like flowers but thats the only thing I dont like about this product. However on the plus side, this keeps my skin oil free and matte all day. It sinks in quickly and isnt greasy. It is quite a thin consistency and is very lightweight for the day time which I love. It doesnt leave my makeup patchy, it keeps it looking flawless and matte. So a big thumbs up from me!

Screeching babies& bus journeys;

Hello lovelies! How are all you amazing people doing? Im typing this on the bus on the way home from my boyfriends house! He lives roughly an hour away from my house? But i have to pick some clothes up for me and Hayden. As i have been invited to stay over for a couple of days which is nice :) Ive been thinking about doing some more life style posts compared to all reviews, I dont know how well this will be recieved but be sure to let me know what you think!

Im sure this bus driver is hating me and my son right now, especially as Hayden is constantly screeching and screaming, but what else do you expect from a 16month old baby boy eh?! Im thinking as i go past superdrug I might pop in and check out some of the MUA products as I havent bought anything for a while :( Does anyone recommend anything from the MUA collection? 

Ive also decided that next pay day I am going to look around Primark to see what midi-style dresses they have, as a friend of mine has a couple and I really like the length and style of them..I just hope they suit me as I always have problems when buying and skirts as their either too long or too short :( 

    -Hayden having a rare quiet moment on this bus journey haha!-

Much love!

Review; Instyle Nails Inc Polishes;

Last month Instyle Magazine teamed up with Nails Inc, and created 3 new shades, 'Totes Pink' 'You're a Peach' 'Its Red, Babez' For £3.80 (I think) you could get one of the shades which is worth £11.

Totes Pink is a baby pale pink varnish, which to me seems like it has a hint of lilac. I think the colour is a very pretty, girly shade of pink and is one that I dont have in my ever growing nail varnish collection. Your a Peach, is as the name states a peach/coral colour, it once again is sort of pale but still packs a punch, it doesnt really work on my skin tone which Im upset about as it is such a cute colour! Finally, Its Red Babez is a bright post box red which I absolutely adore! I am a huge fan of red nail varnishes but this one is my favourite, its a bit of a darker post box red. 

The application of these nail varnishes is really good, they are fully opaque in two light coats and the pigmentation of the colour is really good!

Ive never tried Nails Inc polishes up until now, have you?

Review; Eau Thermale Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser & Light Hydrating Cream;

I signed up on the Avene Website, entered my details and was sent a couple of sample sized products. I was sent the gentle gel cleanser and light hydrating cream.

You get 5ml of the light hydrating cream and 25ml of the gentle gel cleanser. I honestly thought that this wouldnt be much product, however Im quite happy to say the cleanser has lasted me a while and Ive used it every evening for nearly a month! The cleanser leaves my skin feeling really soft and clean after use and I really do like how it works! The consistency is really thin, and not much like a thick gel but still is quite good. The packaging on this bottle is quite hard to use, especially as the first couple of times I used it I did end up wasting a fair bit of product. However is it easier to use when you know how much you need to apply.

Im quite impressed with the cream aswell. In my opinion its worth the full price of a big tube/bottle. It is a thick white consistency which sinks into skin quickly and doesnt leave me feeling greasy or sticky. I use quite a lot of this as I always like to use alot of moisturiser before bed to make my skin feel really soft. I have nearly used this little tube up, but I am seriously considering purchasing the full size.

After trying these little samples, they have really got me interested in other Avene products, do you use avene? What do you think of the brand?

It's been a while!

I am so sorry I haven't blogged in absolutely ages! I've had so much going on and I've been so stressed recently, I'm writing this post from my ipad so I'm not sure what the quality will be like :( but on the plus side I do have an iPad now :) I have spent today scheduling posts to upload for the next couple of weeks which will bring us into July. I am also going to be uploading a video of my may favourites!
