Clinique Loves

Superdefense SPF20 Daily Defense moisturizer




The way to my heart is a good facial moisturiser. I have a phobia of dry skin and moisturising is one of the main activities of my day. I am happy to say that I have found a friend in the Superdefense SPF20 Daily Defense Moisturizer*. 

This product is packed full of helpful antioxidants such as vitamin C and E and provides deep hydration for the skin. It has been designed with a formula that aims to strengthen the moisture barrier and keep it safe from the first signs of ageing. As well as helping to reduce chances of any further damage. UV radiation is responsible for the majority of skin ageing, which is why Clinique has added UVA/UVB protection with an SPF20 to the formula.  

I particularly like the consistency of this moisturiser, as it has a light but fresh texture. It melts into the skin super quick and doesn't leave my skin with that pesky greasy feel. The formula includes ingredients such as caffeine and sea whip extract which keeps skin feeling calm and soft. 


Cheek Pop


I have also been loving the new Cheek Pop blush*. Recently this has been my go-to blush, the luxury formula gives skin a natural cheek colour with no evidence of any powder build up whatsoever. 

This bush comes in 4 vibrant shades, perfect for every kind of skin tone: Plum Pop, Peach Pop, Ginger Pop and Berry Pop. I opted for the subtle pink shade of Peach Pop. 

Simply swirl your blusher brush around the product and sweep onto the apples of your cheek, working the blush upwards towards your temple for a natural spring glow. 

I love how this blush has a strong pigmentation but still looks soft on the skin. The colour pay off is brilliant with no re-application needed. The colour is easily buildable, so it's perfect If you desire more of a punchy blush look. 

I adore the cute clear compact this blush comes in, with a very sweet embossed daisy design. It will definitely put you in the mood for the new spring season.

Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil

The Body Shop's Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil*

This little bottle of serum-oil has become my hero product in my skincare evening regime



If your skin is in need of a serious radiance and moisture boost then this little wonder product is for you. It's a blend of both serum and oil and indulges your skin in moisture whilst leaving your skin feeling replenished, fresh and super soft. 

This leave-in-oil is the newest addition to the famous Vitamin E collection by The Body Shop and has been around since the 1977. The collection is beneficial for all skin types and is one of the most popular. 

It's a common misconception that people with oily skin can't use face oils. This is not true at all, as all skin types need to keep up a healthy moisture balance. 
There is more than way to use this product. My preferred way is to squeeze two drops into the palm of my hand and blend it in with my moisturiser and then I apply the mixture all over my face and neck. For me, this is the quickest and easiest way to apply this product. 
You can also apply this serum-in-oil by warming up two drops in the palm of your hand and apply to your face and neck before your moisturiser. It's  really easy to slip this leave-in-oil into your everyday skincare regime. 

It smells absolutely divine and includes a host of delicious ingredients:
-Marula Oil 
- Soya Oil
- Shea Butter
- Wheatgerm Oil
- Sunflower Oil
- Jojoba Oil 
- Seasme Seed Oil 

This product leaves me with a super velvety texture to my skin and is non-greasy. I have also noticed that my skin has a touch of radiance to it. 
It is a well known fact that your skin does its best work when you are sleeping and after an 8hr beauty sleep my skin appears more even and less blotchy. It doesn't feel too heavy when applied to the skin and is fast absorbing. I honestly get super excited when it comes to applying this product in the evening, I love it that much.

The Body Shop Hair Chalks

The Body Shop have released these gorgeous and playful hair chalks* just in time for spring.  



This is the perfect way to pop some colour back into your life after a super chilly winter. 
Hair chalks have become really popular recently, as it is a super easy way to give your hair temporary colour. The Body Shop have released these chalks in two vivid shades; Falling for Blue and Tickle Me Pink. 

To apply simply place a towel under the section of hair that you want to apply the colour to. Run the chalk over your desired section of hair and then seal with hair spray. Simple.
To remove all you need to do is wash it out. No mess, no fuss. 

The product comes in a packaging similar to an eye shadow and is easy to use.

The colour pay off is pretty good. I thought dark hair would not be suitable for this product. But as it turns out the colour smooths on easily enough and the pigmentation is strong. The blue comes out a pretty teal and the pink comes out with a purple tinge. The two colours look particularly good when streaked together for an almost rainbow look. 

So if you're looking for a fun way to amp up your beauty look for spring - this is most definitely it!
