Autumn/Winter 2016 Wishlist: SKIN

Firstly, HI! How are you all? 

It has been well well over a year. I know I am terrible, but life happens... and I forget. No excuse, but I will try to post more now. 

Of course, I am still loving my beauty products, my collection is growing a lot and I can't really seem to get enough. So  nothing has really change there I suppose..? Apart from the fact that I am now a little older and wiser! 

Let me just say this right now, Autumn/Winter is my favourite time of the year. I am not really a Summer person, even though my birthday is in August. I just prefer the Autumn/Winter vibe, I love all the colours and I like the idea of wearing jumpers, having coffee (PSL please!) and the overall feeling of being warm? Its Christmas too, so whats not to love! 


I am gonna start with SKIN. I feel like I am going to have a lot of things on my wishlist. So I will split this into Skin, Make Up, Bath & Body, Hair + Nails & Fragrance. 

SKINCARE WISHLIST: 

1) Sunday Riley : Luna Sleeping Night Oil ( 30ml )£85.00

There is a lot of talk about this product. I have wanted this for a while, I feel like it would be perfect for the colder months ahead. I guess the pricetag puts me off a little. But I really should invest in a good oil. After all my skin is all I have! Have any of you guys tried this yet? 

2) Pixi - Glow Tonic. (250ml) £18. 

This is something that I have wanted to invest in for the longest time. Its always sold out in M&S and the online reviews have been amazing. I use a toner that  bought in France at the moment, but this is high on up my list!  

3) Dr Brandt - MAGNETIGHT Age-Defier™ Mask. 3 oz $75.00 

According to Sephora this "is a powerful age-defying facial mask that dramatically transforms the look of your skin by harnessing the power of attraction. The magnetic properties of the iron based formula and magnet help to reduce signs of aging skin and reduce the appearance of stressed skin. Skin is left looking magnetically youthful and energized." 
I have seen people use this on social media and I am intrigued! A mask that uses a magnet! It got me thinking about the hype, but I still want to try this at some point. If anything, perhaps using the magnet will be satisfying and offer a deep nourishing cleanse. 

4) Charlotte Tilbury - Charlotte's Magic Cream. 50ml £70.00 

You guys, I cannot. I LOVE THIS CREAM SO MUCH. I have been lucky enough to try it a couple of times. And it really is magical. Its one of the things you have to invest in  but its well worth it. My skin felt AMAZING. I cannot wait to purchase the full size. :D 

5) Charlotte Tilbury -  Magic Night Cream. 50ml £100.00 

Ok to this is pretty pricey, but I want to pair it with Charlottes Magic Day Cream. Its such a luxe item but I really do want to try it out and see what it does to my skin. :D 

6) Bobbi Brown - Skin Nourish Mask. 75ml £33.00. 

I have had the pleasure of trying this mask before an event. My skin was so soft and nourished. It felt amazing! Just the kind of pick up my skin really needed. Again this mask isn't exactly the cheapest option but it does wonders for your skin. I cannot wait to purchase the full size :D 

7) KaplanMD - Lip Mask. 30ml £37.00. 

Autumn/Winter is the worst time for lips, mine dry out all the time! I wanna try out this lip mask and see if it lives up to the hype. I can't be wearing liquid lipsticks and have super dry lips! Not a good look lol! 

So that's it, these are the products on my wishlist for the new season. 

Is there anything that you want to try out or have tried out? 

I wish you all a great start to the new season. 

Take care!

My Current Skincare Routine.

Now this is not an exciting post. But I have added a few changes to my skincare routine as of late. Probably because it is winter and rather than faffing around with things to do with my skin I keep it nice and simple. Plus it is a time saver!

So these are the products that I am currently using on a day to day basis. It seems pretty simple but they all work wonders for me!

Firstly I have just discovered The Body Shop Passion Fruit Facial Cleansing Gel. (RRP £4.00) 
This has become my staple for the last few weeks, it is a mild cleansing wash that not only tones, refreshes and soothes my skin but I have noticed a big difference in my complexion. I just feel like my skin is revived, soft and glowing. I love how cheap it is, the size of the bottle, and the smell. I start off the day with this cleanser and it can even help to remove make up. I just love this product and will defnitely be re-purchasing in the future.

I still use The Body Shop Carrot Moisture Cream (RRP £4.00), this is still a staple in my skincare routine. It is so perfect for those horrible winter days and goes so well with the passion fruit cleanser. I have tried quite a few moisturisers and this is still the best at the most amazing price!

I think I have probably mentioned a few times before that I am not an avid foundation user, I haven't really felt the need to use it..even though I am a beauty product lover...although I have tried a few good foundations...I always feel that Tinted Moisturiser is always the way to go. It is so easy and simple to use and it gives me the coverage I need. This Nivea Visage day cream (RRP £3.99)  is one of the best. It is affordable, matches any skintone and gives my skin a healthy complexion as well as coverage.

As for removing make up I find that these Superdrug Baby Wipes (RRP 99p) are amazing. It might sound a bit bizarre to use baby wipes, but when you think about it they are probably the safest thing to use on your skin if they are being formulated for babies. To be honest they do the job well and don't harm my skin. So why not!

So there you have it...this is my skincare routine. I am looking forward to trying new products like the BB creams that have been around as of late and New foundations from Illamasqua, Chanel and MAC. But to be honest, for this moment in time I feel like this routine is the best and works wonders for my skin! :)
Hope that you are having a good Sunday. :)
