Origins Zero Oil Moisturiser

Origins Zero Oil - £24

Blessed with my dad's oily skin, I'm forever on the lookout for products to control the inevitable 12 o'clock shine that arise and so the Origins Zero Oil moisturiser seemed just perfect. I've been using it for a few months now and to be honest, haven't been all that impressed. Read on to find out why!

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Beauty Tools Set

With summer well and truly upon us there's nothing better to kick start your preparations than the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Tools Beauty Set, with none other than the famous Eight Hour Cream in a full size as well as an assortment of generous minis from the rest of the range.

It comes housed in a red case which I can imagine would be great to pack toiletries in for travel, being quite sturdy and roomy, but the pièce(s) de résistance are what's inside. The full size tube of the Eight Hour Cream will be an essential in tending to a multitude of needs in the coming months, such as chapped lips and insanely dry skin (is it just me or does anybody else get really dry elbows in the summer?). There's a bit of a love-hate relationship with the smell and I definitely used to be someone who gagged at the smell of it but I've now grown to like it!

The trial sizes that accompany the Eight Hour Cream are the: Daily Moisturiser for Face SPF 15, Sun Defence Face SPF 50 (I was in need of a new facial SPF so I'm excited to see how this fares!), Intensive Moisturising Body Treatment and Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment (my all-time favourite hand cream, I could not recommend this any more!). 

Overall this set costs £39 which seems quite steep but when you think that the full size of the Eight Hour Cream is £25 and the minis aren't really so mini, it seems a lot more justifiable - that's what I tell myself, anyway! I think it's a really great set, especially if you want to dip your toe in the amazing range that is the Eight Hour range. 

Empties #2

 Due to my hoarding of empty products, there is now an entire drawer in my room full of empty bottles/pots. So without further ado, my empties!

Benefit 'Love me b.right'

 I have loved Benefit's b.right skincare range for a good few months now, and during a dangerous 10% off sale I decided to nab some goodies!

July Favourites

This month has been a scorcher, summer has definitely not disappointed in England!

Clinique 3-Step Skincare

About a year ago I bought the Clinique 3-Step skincare routine, however I hadn't really used it that much. When sorting through my cupboards, I came across it and decided that I should try and use it a lot more.

The Lust List #1

This is a new idea for a set of posts, called 'The Lust List'. It's the list of products that I've been wanting for a while and would really like to purchase soon!

Yes to Cucumbers

A while back, I heard about this apparently amazing brand 'Yes to Carrots' and their particularly amazing 'Yes to Cucumbers' range, so I thought "Hey- why not give this a try?". I went on the hunt only to find that no British high street shops stocked them, only finding them on feelunique.com, where I was delighted to find them on sale!
