Hello there! We are well
into April now, and have almost arrived at Easter. I still can’t quite believe the
cold winter months have departed and Spring in all its glory is here.
I have a fresh batch
of new faves to show you, which I was totally loving in March.
First up, we have
this super-duper bath float from The Sanctuary. This large, chic bottle
contains a whopping 500ml of the most sumptuous bath product ever. Enriched with
baobab, Vitamin E and freesia’s, it has a wonderful, fresh yet perfumed scent,
and it produces ridiculously thick bubbles.
I find it really soothing, and it leaves my skin hydrated, as opposed to dry like some bubble baths tend to do. Well wort the slightly pricey £10 price tag.

I’ve been getting my
nails done with the product SNS (Its basically a safe acrylic, rather like the
gel formula) so I don’t really have to worry about my nails looking groomed
anymore. However, I still have a bit of obsession with keeping my cuticles in check,
and Avoplex Cuticle Oil To Go by OPI has been a godsend! It comes in this handy
tube with a brush; simply squeeze and the product appears, and can be applied directly
to the nails with the applicator. It is a gel like substance that sinks in to
the cuticle beds easily, and is enriched with lots of nourishing ingredients.
Plus, it smells of grapes! A great option
for girls like me that are always on the go.
I’m a huge fan of
luxury skincare brand Nuxe, and I have been applying the Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
all month long! This is actually a sample bottle I received at Christmas, but a full-size bottle is around £15. It has many uses; but I mainly apply it to the
ends of my hair to seal the ends, and also directly after a bath to lock the
moisture in. it has a Moorish, sweet scent and is lightweight and absorbs quickly.
Containing plant oils and vitamin E, it is perfect for giving your chosen area
a little TLC. I happen to love the glass packaging too- tres chic!
I use toner so
religiously- twice a day without fail. I don’t think it necessarily matters how
expensive it is; it’s a job that needs to be incorporated into your skincare routine
as a finishing touch. L’Oréal have recently released their ‘Fine Flowers’
range, and I was instantly drawn (as usual, rather vacuously) to the pretty
pink packaging. The toner has fresh, sweet smell that isn’t too overpowering.
It contains Jasmine and Rose- both great for soothing and providing moisture. Its
surprisingly light and disperses well. But the best thing about this product,
is that its super gentle, so even if you have skin that erupts easily, this
will work for you. And, it’s under a fiver! Excellent stuff.
I went back to basics
this month, and have been totally obsessing over good old cherry Carmex. The fruity
tangy cherry scent is so sweet and Moorish, and nothing coats your lips quite
like it! It locks in moisture and is no frills- it just works. I don’t know why
I ever stopped using it- it’s one of those products that you know will always
be respected as the winning formula doesn’t change. Plus, It’s so readily available!
Boots Botanics is a brilliant
range; it’s been around forever and contains plant-based ingredients that are
designed to totally rejuvenate the skin naturally. I’ve used the Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm for years now, on and off, and recently discovered it again. I would say, when
you open the pot, it looks more like a thick wax, but once applied to the skin,
it immediately turns to oil. It contains shea butter and beeswax, which together
are a powerful combination! You apply to a dry face, then, using the cleansing
cloth damp (which comes handily in the box)you wipe off the product. It removes
any make up you have, and leaves your pores refreshed almost instantly. A great drugstore gem, and an even greater bargainous
alternative to the famous Eve Lom Cleanser.
I love a designer lippy,
and this gorgeous shade Tease by Dior is the business! From their new Lacquer
lips range, this product is ingenious. Its half lacquer (obviously) and half
lipstick, so its not as heavy as regular lip products, and still gives an
opaque sheen, so perfect for both the day and evening. It contains enriching
oils so an excellent treatment for your pout too. I LOVE the shade; it’s a warm-toned,
peachy pink and is a fabulous finishing touch to your face of the day!
Expensive, yes, but come on, Dior is worth every penny.
Lastly, admittedly not
the most glamorous of items, but this wide tooth comb from Mark Hill is bloody
brilliant. The design is great because it means I can detangle my hair when
wet- which in short, makes my mane much healthy. Plus, its heaps better than
attacking my wet hair with a brush like I usually do. A handy size for your
handbag too.
