REVIEW: Bobbi Brown Bronzer & Blusher Duo

My latest Beauty purchase when I headed to Selfridges on a cheeky shopping trip to Oxford Street was the Bobbi Brown Bronzer & blusher Duo. (£27)

Just what you need if you ever feel a little pasty- this little combo provides you with a blusher and bronzer in one compact so you can always get that soft glow on the go! Absolutely look this product! But remember- this is Limited Edition- so grab yours before its too late!

REVIEW: Nip&Fab Glycolic Fix

I have always been a fan of Nip & Fab and so when I received an email from the brand highlighting its new product- Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Facial Pads- I knew I had to go out and give them a go! (£12.95 for 60pads)

                           
Stated to give us a "brighter, smoother + younger looking skin", these pads are aimed to improve skin tones and its texture by stimulating cell turnover. 

With a hydrating formula, glycolic fix contains;

glycolic acid retextures + resurfaces

hyaluronic acid moisturises + refreshes

blue daisy  soothes + calms

Even after just two uses, I can feel the difference already in my complexion- my skin feels smoother and softer to touch and I've noticed a reduction in my pores! The pads provide a gentle scrub which I am gratful for- many leave my skin irritated, red and sore but not these! Perfect for my sensitive skin. Now my concealer and foundation seems to glide on just that little bit easier and effortlessly. I regret to say that I have been bad at keeping up using these exfoliating pads on a regular basis and have gone back to square one so definitely recommend keeping up with these in your regular skincare routine.

TOP TIPS: Scrub up for Autumn

Summer is officially over- the cold, wet and miserable winter weather is firmly on its way and its time to brush the dust off those coats and boots! Out comes the hosiery, scarves, gloves and hats to cover up and keep warm to protect your skin from the harshness of winter. But how else can we protect our skin? What we require are good cleansers to scrub up the skin and keep it moisturised. 

HOW - TO: Cleanse your face properly

STEP1: Soak a cotton ball with eye makeup remover, close your eyes and gently press onto the eyelids.  Hold for a few seconds and then swipe away.

STEP2: Cleanse your face  by massaging in a cleanser  in circular motions to stimulate  your skin  and bring the oxygen to the surface to give you a healthy glow!

STEP3: The average person generates a new layer of skin every 2-4weeks and so it is essential to exfoliate your skin on a regular basis in order to speed up this process. Exfoliating correctly will leave your skin fresh.

STEP4: Finish off with a face mask to draw out further impurities that lie beneath the top skin layer to help brighten and hydrate your complexion.

TREND ON TRIAL: Super Sleek Locks

I am very much a fan of straight hair, mainly because any waves or curls always fall out in a matter of minutes with my hair! I am a stronger follower of hair straighteners and my GHD's are a valued and worshiped accessory in my grooming routine. I am sure I am not alone in saying this but "What did we women ever do before hair straighteners were invented?"

But straightening you hair continually is not good to maintain healthy looking hair. the better the straighteners, the better condition your hair will remain in! But how else can we ensure our hair looks sleek and healthy?
