Autum and Winter Skin Saviour.

I know it’s only September but I’ve started to get my skin ready for the colder months ahead !

Every winter I feel bad about my skins awful/dry condition. This year I’m doing something about it.

Body Butters are something I swear by. I love Shea or Coca Butter (body Shop) as it is the best for my very dry skin, but as I don’t have any for now I’ve been using Honeymania butter (which was free! ). I didn’t think I’d like this …. but the smell is ok, not powerful and it really does hydrate my skin. It’s ace.

I also have the honeymania lip balm which was also feee. Perfect to fit in handbags. It keeps my lips soft and kissable. Pucker up …! It’s a very sweet smell which isn’t my favourite but I can over look that as it works wonders.

I’ve been loving avon products for my hands and feet. I use their Planet Spa Blissfully Nourishing Hand and Foot Scrub. It’s a creamy scrub with Shea butter in it and works well at getting all the dry, dead skin off hands and feet as well as keeping them smooth and moisturised. I like the smell of this, reminds me of popcorn. I Use it twice a week. At a bargain price if £3.16 (on offer) I’ve stocked up.

To keep feet extra soft after exfoliating I use Avons foot works beautiful overnight cream with moisture socks. This cream is lovely to use and mildly scented. I use this twice a week to keep my feet soft, smooth and hydrated.

For my hands I use Avons Coca Butter hand cream. It smells like chocolate (no suprise there) and is the best hand cream I have used, and I’ve tried a lot ! The scent is fairly strong but doesn’t lingire. I use this with moisture gloves at night twice a week for extra moisture while I sleep… as well as every morning before I leave the house.

Basic Summer/holiday Essentials

July is here! Time for my second holiday ! First being to the stunning Turkey, next week is Cornwall time ! Here is my list of essentials I take (excluding suncream and after sun and makeup etc). :

Lush; Happy Hippy shower gel:

This shower gel has a beautiful citrus scent to it making it perfect for a refreshing shower during those hot months! Also it’s so cheap at £4.50.

The body shop; Vitiman C face spritz:

This facial spray is perfect for holiday. It has a orange scent to it and feels cooling. It hydrates the skin which is super important while making the skin look happy and bright. I use this on my freshly shaved legs too for extra hydration and to make my legs look smooth and bright.

The Body Shop; coconut body butter:

I swear by body shops body butters. The coconut one is brill for those holidays. Keeps skin extra soft while smelling like a tropical dream…. nom !

Avon; balanced & matte spf 15:

As we all know spf is essential. One thing you should never forget to do is apply spf all over. Your face being no exception. If like me, you are forgetful (whoops!) use a facial lotion with spf after washing your face. This one is good for my oily skin. Keeps my skin soft and protected from the sun with out blocking my pores.

Carex; strawberry laces hands, face and body wipes:

I like to take wipes with me on holiday as me and ice cream make a mess, I am one messy eater ! It’s good to have wipes handy to freshen up whenever needed. These ones smell like the name suggests which I think is amazing!

Avon review: mirror shine spray

Hello there!  As I have had a good day and myself esteem is ok for the first time in a long time I thought I’d post another review.

My (step) mother in law is an Avon rep so I have just “got into” their products. The first purchase I got was a styling spray- mirror shine.

First off it smells so nice, like apples! I adore it. I spray it all over my hair before straightening it. It makes my hair feel so soft and healthy. It does do its main purpose – gives my hair a nice shine. This will be my must have hair product for the party season!

I love it so much I have already got another bottle!
