WINTER SKINCARE WISHLIST

October 25, 2016 in BEAUTY, Uncategorized

Winter Skincare Edit

I know, I know, I don’t actually need anymore skincare, but I love to keep trying and discovering new things – especially in winter when my skin needs extra pampering. I was telling L’Occitane how much I wanted to try their Shea Ultra Rich Comforting Face Cream and they asked me to share that with you, along with all the other skincare products currently on my wishlist for this winter.

In winter our skin really gets affected by the cold weather outside and the increase in central heating inside, so it requires a lot of extra hydration and soothing. A perfect face cream for this is the L’Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Comforting Face Cream – it has 25% Shea Butter and offers 72 hour moisturisation.

The Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil (£85 from Space NK) has become a bit of a cult product in the beauty vlogging and blogging worlds. It’s blue and it’s a retinol. It’s designed to reduce pore size, reduce lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. You MUST wear an SPF during the day when you are using this at night, as retinols make your skin more sensitive to the sun and UV rays (which are still very much present in winter). I want to try this oil for a few nights per week and then this more hydrating one to use on the rest of the nights – the Emma Hardie Brilliance Facial Oil (£34 from Space NK) – as it also restores elasticity and contains antioxidents as well as comforting and moisturising the skin.

I absolutely love the Burts Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser (£11.49 from Burts Bees), so I really want to try their Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser (also £11.49) too, as i’ve heard it makes your skin so soft. The ingredients are 99% natural and it’s designed or dry skin – ideal for winter use.

I’m not a huge fan or hardening clay masks, but I love the pricey Glam Glow Youth Mud. I’ve heard that The Body Shop’s Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask (£15 from The Body Shop) is an amazing dupe, right down to the bit-y texture. I need to try this as Glam Glow is always sold out. I don’t use deep cleansing masks like these all the time, but when my skin feels clogged up and I get a breakout, these are great.

Finally, I really want to test out the Estée Lauder Stress Relief Eye Masks (£28 for 10 from Feel Unique) as my eyes always look so tired because i’m on the computer all the time. These masks are supposed to be really hydrating and make you look more rested.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Some PR samples — My first post for the #sundays Some PR samples — My first post for the #sundaysix hashtag (# created by @bekah_sun)! This week I’ve got some new beauty & fragrance finds, as well as a TV show and a cosy knit.
💗
I’ve been loving the new @givenchybeauty fragrance Irresistible which came into my life last week. It’s rose-based (of course it is) and is also light and fruity. The perfect spring scent to put a pep in your step.  Last month I discovered a real hair hero (L’Oreal Wonder Water I love ya) & this week I’ve found this new release from @erborian_uk for skin. It’s a miracle worker. I can’t even describe what it does, but you NEED it! It’s a non-tinted, silicone-free bare skin perfector. It’s a thick, lush, silky cream that plumps & hydrates, blurs & illuminates with Korean White Ginseng complex & retexturizing enzymes for a visible "new skin" effect.  It’s heavenly and a Skinfluencer’s dream!  The @sundayrileyeurope ICE Ceramide Cream is every bit as good as I wanted it to be. It’s not nearly as thick as Dr Jart Ceramidin but it feels just as moisturising, strengthening and protective. If you need that deep moisturising power but want a lighter texture, this is for you, for plump and supple skin.  I’ve been loving the new @fentyskin Flash Nap Eye Gel-Cream & cooling tool. It’s light and hydrating, and really wakens up & smoothes my eye area in the morning. It feels so nice to use these both together - a tiny moment of self-care.  Years & years ago I watched the first 2 seasons of How to Get Away With Murder with my Mum, but gave up as I couldn’t fully get into it. I tried again with David and we’re just finishing season 6 (the last) this week. We were hooked from the start and have binged it over a month. It’s a gripping box set if you like US crime thrillers like PLL or Scandal. Available on Netflix!  Lastly, I do love a cream knit but I found this one at @simplybeuk that has a pop of neon yellow on the sleeve. It really brightens my day. It’s the small things at the moment!  #fentyskin #sundayriley #givenchybeauty #givenchyfragrance #erborian #skinfirst #bareskin #glowglowingskincare #healthyglowingskinforlife #skincareaddicts #skincareaddicted #skincarejunkies #skincareobsessed
PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves (# by @the__glo PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves (# by @the__glow__girl) I got a lovely selection of products to try from @glowrecipe recently, so I’ve now got a little Glow Recipe collection!
💗
This week I’ve been LOVING the new Niacinamide Dew Drops - heavenly glow, contains my hero ingredient Niacinamide & lovely hydration. Recommend as last step in skincare, before makeup or instead of makeup. 
🙌🏻
Also been loving the Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. It’s been nice to add a dedicated PM eye product to my evening routine & my under-eye area is smooth & rested when I wake up.

PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is t PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is the brilliant new scalp treatment from @tresemmeuk - you get hair posts 2 days in a row! The Tresemme Purify & Hydrate Exfoliating Pre Shampoo Scrub is currently half price in Superdrug for just £3.02!
💆🏻‍♀️
This scrub is helping my hair to last longer between washes as my problem is that my roots get greasy fairly quickly. It does take a while to rinse out, but it’s worth that extra effort. The exfoliant is coconut shells! It also has menthol in it which is really refreshing & awakening in the morning.
💆🏻‍♀️
Adding this into my routine before a hydrating shampoo really deeply cleans my roots and stops them getting oily so fast, meaning that my roots and ends progress at the same dirtiness pace!

PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this pro PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this product over the last couple of weeks & it’s for good reason. It very much is, indeed, a miracle. In just 8 seconds, as your conditioner, this will give you the smoothest, sleekest, softest hair you’ve ever had. I’ve just ordered 2 more bottles.
🙌🏻
The L’Oreal Dream Lengths 8-Second Wonder Water is £9.99 and you’ll get no more than 10 applications per bottle, but it sure is ‘worth it’. Wonder Water is a breakthrough damaged hair treatment, in a rinse-out liquid conditioner formula that’s powered by Lamellar Water Technology. Moisturising agents and amino acids target dry, damaged areas of hair, forming thin layers called Lamella to smooth hair’s surface instantly transforming lengths for silkier, shinier and healthier-looking hair. 
🙌🏻
I’m honestly not sure I’ll ever use another conditioner again. You need it, go buy it. Now, now, now!

The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too. The Aromatherapy Associates Rose Bath & Shower Oil is a heavenly treat. I apply it around my shoulders and chest, breathing  in the calming aroma, before getting into the shower. Finally, Prismologie’s Rose Quartz & Rose Balm soothes your mind and nourishes the skin on your body. It leaves you with a little bit of lustre too 💫
