Winter is here everyone!
I tend to spend a lot of my time nice and warm mostly indoors and wrapped up nice and cosy and I keep going back to the same main essentials for the colder time.
Kakadu (Water Lily) Candle, Travel Tea flask, Good Afternoon Black Tea When I'm cuddled up at home with a good book or movie and bundled up in a snuggie it's perfect to have a nice cup of tea and the relaxing smell of water lillies wafting the room. Good Afternoon isn't a heavy black tea but a little mild with some floral hints, winter is definitely my black tea time with milk and a hint of honey. The tea travel mug is perfect, with the double wall insulation and the tea net and amazing twist design spout, me and this mug are made to be. Bio Oil, Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Kiehls Eye Alert, Soap and Glory Flake Away Exfoliating Scrub When it comes to my skin maintenance my daily go to items are pretty intense in the colder and less humid days. I've got extremely dry skin and Bio Oil is definitely my every day salvation for them after a good scrub in the shower with Soap and Glory's Flake Away. I haven't tried this exfoliant just as yet so I'm keen to see how my skin looks after a couple of months, I'll keep you updated! I find that in winter as my skin pales out a little more my dark circles are a lot more prevalent and although this is a mens product it seems to do wonders for my insomniac eyes. Midnight recovery is amazing as well, i rub in a couple of drops before bed and wake up feeling well moisturised and my skin looks visibly toned and regained a lot of its elasticity! Mac Rebel, Mac Raizin, Carmex, Maybelline Gel Liner, Bobbi Brown Concealer and Powder, Chanel Rivoli My make up this winter has been very classic to the deep wine and cat eyes this winter. I'm giving this bobbi brown concealer a go as well, it's a nice change from Maybelline's Fit Me but I'm still yet to see what I think about it. Finally hit pan on my all time favorite blush, it's the perfect shade for my skin tone and has that warm color to it that also contours your face. Last but not least even on my non make up days, Carmex is my every day life saver, with the colder and drier days I cannot part with it. Let me know what your winter essentials are and where you spend most of your colder days in the comments below. Hope you enjoyed this post xx.

Michelle Obama, one of the most powerful women at the moment is a someone who is a constant worker, she is represents her country, her husband she is both a public figure and a mother. Okay so not everyone is as busy as the first lady but we're all busy in our own senses and we often neglect our skin. I know that my skin goes through trauma around this time of the year. I have very dry skin and my T zone is a war zone at the moment and to be honest I'm really lazy with moisturising. Throughout the busy weeks where you got exams due and work and weekly exercise and a social life, thats where I drop the skin maintenance, thanks to Nuffnang's Product talks I got a chance to redeem myself Often the shower is the only time I get a moment to myself to completely relax and when I can pick up this little number and get both a mask and a wash out of the one product. Texture The texture of the wash is extremely smooth and a little on the thick side almost like a lotion consistency that comes with the dual use as a wash and a mask. It's creamy and on application feels like an avocado mask. As you use the Clearasil either as a wash or a mask it makes your skin feel like silk on application. Smell The product smells strongly of pomegranate so it has the most gorgeous refreshing smell as your washing. This product is amazing and so smooth and refreshing on the skin, it's not harsh and is works both as a mask and as a wash. Clearasil did a trial showing that over 74% of people said that the Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts products have made their skin looking and feeling healthier. With key ingredients such as avacado extracts and Vitamin E for moisture, glycerin for hydration and pomegranate for its anti - oxident properties this product doesn't shred or dry your skin at all GIVEAWAY So Clearasil is doing an amazing giveaway right now and it's super simples!

UGHHASDHASDKUHAW.. It's finally here! I'm incredibly sorry it took so long, with uni and there's bit a bit of drama on the side making things a bit ruffled but things have started to slow down a bit now so I'll try my absolute hardest to update regularly, but without further ado here's my review. ;) Read more » Labels: adoboyss, body, cosmetics, hair, lush, opinion, personal, review, shopping, skin, store, youtube How the year is flying by. This month i'm going to try and reduce my spending on other things apart from this list, last month I saw my spendages depleting on just trivial things here and there and it just fell through my hands. Hopefully I can reduce this month, although my choices are quite demanding. Let's have a look From the last wishlist I have these: Alien by Thierry Mugler

Labels: 2012, beauty, clothes, cosmetics, haul, mac, make up, march, review, shopping, wish list Looking back on my February wish list, I've noticed that I am an expensive brat. Ugh, I just wish I could have a million dollars and have everything up down and in-between, how incredibly materialistic and conceded I am. I don't mean to but when it comes to wishlists i feel so poor, but I'm so grateful and excited whenever I get anything i've been wanting. God I sound like such a selfish brat. I'm not this shallow seriously! Only when I make a wish list. :) forgive me.
