CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM

Thursday, 30 January 2014



I do love a good cleanser, there is nothing better than taking the grime and dirt of the day off with a nice hot cloth and a creamy cleanser. But I also can be very picky when it comes to them. I have stayed clear of the cleansing balms for a while now mostly down to the fact that a lot of them are heavy scented with perfume to give you that luxurious feel. The trouble is, my skin hates perfume and almost 99%  breaks out when I use something with it in it.

But not so with the Clinique Cleansing Balm. This one is 100% fragrance free and makes cleansing my face super easy and hassle free. I like to use it mostly in the evening to take of all my make up and because its a lightweight oil based balm, it dissolves and breaks down any sort of stubborn mascara or full coverage foundation. I often do a double cleans and use a little water with it, when you add the water it becomes  a silky liquid oil and with a hot cloth cleans deep into the pores so that even when you swipe over your toner there will be no make up left on your cotton pad.

If I wasn't always on the hunt for the next product I can easily say that this would be my staple cleanser of choice. I even have been thinking of repurchasing it again (that's not very much like me), that how much I like it. It might not be the most luxurious cleanser out there but that's why my skin probably loved this so much. It left my skin clean and nourished without drying it out and not breakout in sight. What else can you ask for from a cleanser?

Have you got a cleanser at the moment that you are very impressed by?? Leave me a comment, I would love to know!

YSL POINTED ANKLE BOOT DUPE

Wednesday, 22 January 2014


I can not tell you how long I have been looking for a pointed ankle boot like these baby's. I have been searching high and low and each time I came close, there was just something not quite right. Either they were suede instead of leather (suede in the UK with all the rain is not a good idea) or the heel was not high enough which made my feet look huge (because of the pointed foot) or of course the price was way to steep. I don't know when it comes to shoe shopping I can be ever so indecisive and picky.
For me it has to be the perfect shoe in order to hand over my hard earned cash because if I am not particularly happy with them I most probably will not wear them!
Just ask my hubby he will tell you some stories of sheer frustration, haha.
But anyway, last week I was meeting with my best friend in town for coffee and afterwards for some shopping (as you do). We went into Mango and there they were, on sale and in my size. I took it as a sign and grabbed them.

I am glad I waited and didn't settle for another pair as they look almost exactly like the YSL Ankle Boots that all the celebs are wearing at the moment. And as I told you they were even on sale, so I got them for £45, 50% less then the asking price.
I have never been a great sales girl but I just love when things like this happen!
