Yves Saint Laurent - Teint Touche Eclat Foundation
Shade Beige 30 - fair to light
complexions with creamy tan beige undertones
€31

In short I love this foundation. I had been looking
for a nice foundation that could be worn daily, that was natural looking, long
wearing and skin friendly. So far this foundation has fulfilled these criteria.
I had been wearing a tinted moisturiser as I often found full foundation heavy
and found that it was difficult to achieve the correct look I was hoping for.
This foundation blended really well, could be built upon using powder or
bronzer for a more glam look or just a swipe of blush for a natural glowing day
look. My skin looked flawless and had a reflective sheen. I had been a fan of
the original Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat and this foundation really
did not disappoint. I intend to continue using it, I highly recommend it.

Eye Brow Sculptor by Tom Ford
Shade = Chestnut
€40 approx / £32.00

I had read reviews
of this product and had watched a few beauty tutorials so was very curious as
to how it would work out. This interest combined with the fact that I rate
eyebrow maintenance and appearance as top priority pushed me to treat myself.
Once again I am not disappointed. I had been engaging in the usual routine of
getting my eyebrows tinted once a month and then using MAC eyebrow in Spiked. I
liked this routine as it achieved the look I hoped for, However since using
this Tom Ford product the routine is over. Application does take a little
practice as the applicator is slanted and you need fill in your brows at a
certain angle. You can build upon the colour to achieve a darker shade. It is
long wearing and definitely defines your brows. It also has a brow brush
applicator on the other end which is excellent for fine tuning your desired
look. Admittedly it is one of the more expensive brow products but so far from
my experience it is worth it. Highly recommend.
3. Decleor - Aromessence Neroli Serum - 15ml
€44.99 (sale
price normally €60.00)

I received
this face oil as part of a gift set when I purchased a face moisturiser by
decleor. I had not paid much attention to the face oil until recently when my
skin was suffering from a phase of break outs. Unsure of the cause of the break
outs I decided to cleanse and use this oil as at night. My skin has improved so
much. This face oil claims that the Aromessences
will nourish and prepare your skin with specific plant based moisturisers to
treat, hydrate and protect.
Thanks to its natural affinity with the skin, the
oil aims to
• penetrates skin upon application to soothe and
relax the skin,
• provides immediate comfort and radiance, and
be the quickest and most direct Beauty routine available to leave skin visibly
smoother, softer and glowing with radiance.
Declor tells you that you should use this oil
morning and night. For my skin type which is normal to combination I recommend
to only use once at night as the oil is very rich. You only need a small amount
so even though this oil is rather expensive it will last for a long time. Skin
transformation is just achievable.
4. Kerastase - Elixir Ultime for Colour-Treated Hair
€34

Again I
received this as an added bonus with the karastase Christmas gift set. I love
Kerastase shampoo fro coloured haired hair. I had used well known hair oil before
after shampoo and conditioner and had found it to be good. This product however
is excellent. Like all beauty oils of any nature you only need a very small
amount. I rubbed a small amount of oil between my hands to heat it up and
worked it through my hair form mid length to the ends. I stay away from the
roots as I want to prevent my hair becoming too oily. I found my hair to be
excellent condition, full and very soft. The product claims to promote shine
and I have to admit a few of my friends commented on the shine and condition of
my hair since I have been using it. I have replaced the oil I had previously
used with this product and I like it so much that it is firmly established in
my hair care routine.
5. Molton Brown Rejuvenating
Body Moisturiser in arctic shajio
€20 approx

These winter
days leaves the skin dry and dull and well entitled to a treat now and again. This
body moisturiser fulfils this entitlement. Like all Molton Brown products this
is rich and nurturing on the skin. It smells fabulous without being too strong.
A little goes a long way and has lasting
effects. The one problem I have with this product is that as you use the
product it becomes increasingly difficult to use the pump on the bottle. I am
only half way through my 200ml bottle and on my last use last night I had to
open the screw top and shake out the contents. Overall this body lotion is a luxury
and has left my skin feeling soft, smelling lovely and in better condition.

This month I
stumbled across a fabulous tea perfect for curling up on the sofa after a long
day and watching your favourite telly or getting engrossed in your new book or
mag. This tea is delicious and soothing. I am a fan in general of camomile tea
and this was a lovely variation of taste. I simply <3 this tea.
v T.V programme = Chicago
Fire
What more
could you ask for, cute men in firemen outfits fighting fire and being all hero
like. Also a pretty good story line to follow with likeable characters and
solid plot lines. Not the most serious of T.V shows but worth a look for sure.
