Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
I have recently (within the past two weeks) switched back to Liz Earle cleanse and polish as my makeup remover and cleanser; I had been experimenting with the bareMinerals skincare range but I think my skin was crying out for a natural product. It is just as good as I remember, in just two weeks I think my skin has improved, especially with smoothness. For some reason I find I only realise how good this cleanser is when I switch to something else and my skin doesn't appreciate it.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-in-one BB Cream

I received two of these last Christmas, I used one up and when I was half way through my second my Mum bought me some of the legendary bareMinerals mineral powder so I put this aside. It has only been recently in the colder months that I realised my skin felt like it needed a liquid foundation or something similar, something to give it a dewy, fresh look, so I got this back out and its qualities still impress me. It feels light but blurs imperfections and doesn't cake. It will definitely do until I find a good liquid foundation.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

I just absolutely love this product!! I may have only had it since Christmas Day but it is already a beauty must-have in my books. The cold British winter months play havoc with  our skin making it dry and bleh, and if you're like me and don't wear gloves on daily walks from the car park to university (it's a longer walk than you think), going shopping etc you notice it taking its toll on our poor hands; I noticed my cuticles and nails were so dry. This product is a godsend, when you rub it onto your nails/cuticles it instantly sinks in leaving no greasy residue and it definitely has improved my skin around my nails. Also as it keeps the cuticles moisturised I assume that it promotes healthier nail growth too, which is always a good thing. I carry it around in my bag so I can apply some on the go to, love it!

Tangle Teezer

This has changed my life, well it takes me much less time untangling my wet knotted hair, and for someone who has long, knot-prone hair this has taken me up to 15 minutes before. It glides through so easily and when it does find a knot it deals with it quickly and painlessly haha. Another plus it that I love the colour, it's blue and sparkly, which I hadn't seen before. On a side note am I the only one who has been taught that a knot in your hair can also be called a 'pug'? I said this other day and no-one knew what I was talking about.

Black Studded Suede Boots

I'm a sucker for anything Western influenced and these look good with everything, especially because my main bag is black too. They are super comfy and warm and the heel is easy to walk in. I've literally been wearing them all the time.

That's all for now, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all happiness in the New Year.
