Skincare Routine: Dry/Sensitive

Hello Lovelies,

I have a video for you today on my current skincare routine. I filmed this a while ago but never got around to editing it *oops!*

I have very dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin, yet I have large pores around my t-zone area (graphic but true.) Aside from this, I am very lucky as I rarely get spots, other than the occasional hormonal break out. I have really been focusing a lot more on my skin recently and trying to form more of a regimental routine that I am trying my best to stick to:P. Since filming this video I have added Bioderma Crealine H20 to my skincare, along with a few other things which I will post more on soon. All the information about where to get the products I mentioned is in the info bar on Youtube :)

Hope you enjoy the video.

I would also love it if you went and commented on my videos and subscribed to my channel :)

Much Love

Lou

Fragrance Friday #2

Hello Lovelies :)

Welcome to the second edition of Fragrance Friday. I've had a lovely week, really happy and relaxed. I even got around to starting my youtube channel, finally :)

This week I'm reviewing:

 Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci.

I actually mentioned this in my Fall Loves tag video as one of my favourite autumnal perfumes :) I really do love this one, it was another duty free purchase and its just so pretty!

Review:

Packaging

I think this is one of my favourite perfume bottles. It's a lovely rich pink, the bow is gorgeous and it fits really ergonomically in the hand. It's also very sturdy and well made.

Price

This one is fairly pricey at £39.50. This aside, it is an Eau de Parfum(so it lasts longer on the skin) and it is 50ml. This has lasted me just over a year and I have around 1/5th left.

Scent

The scent is very floral and sweet smelling. It has hints of Bergamot, Sandalwood and Cinnamon. It's a very deep rich scent that almost feels cosy when you spray it. Definitely A/W appropriate.

Final Thoughts

I adore this perfume. The simple fact that I have nearly used it up shows that. I find that it is a fantastic evening scent that makes you feel girly and glamourous for anight out:)

Much Love

Lou

First Youtube Video Ever!

Hello Lovelies,

I was incredibly bored yesterday and for some reason decided to jump on the youtube bandwagon. I did the Fall Loves tag, having seen a few other beauty girls on youtube do their videos.

I actually really enjoyed it! I thought I'd be a nervous wreck (and I did ramble a lot) but It was a lot of fun. If any of you are unsure about starting youtube, just go for it!

Thankyou to slhxbeauty and viviannadoesmakeup for giving me a little nudge towards posting!

Anyway, here it is:

Sorry for the bad lighting towards the end, I didn't realise until it was too late :( . I will film again today so hopefully the lighting will be fixed!

Also, any feedback would be fantastic.

Rate, Comment, Subscribe ;)

Love

June Favourites

Hello Lovelies,

Well its been a while, but I have FINALLY finished my A-levels. *Lets out little scream of happiness*. I cannot even begin to describe how stressy the last 3 months of revision have been. 

Hey Ho!! It's all over now and I am back on the blogging bandwagon :)

So jumping straight into it, these are my June favourites.

I must say, during June the only time I saw daylight was the car journey to my exams. I have been holed up in my house for literally a month. As a consequence of this, very little thought was put into my appearance. Just a warning, very basic beauty products coming up. All you 'Must where make-up everyday' types, look away now...

June Favourites

Now for the list :) :

First and foremost is the fabulous 'wonder product' Germolene. I literally rely on this stuff. It works on chapped lips, spots and rashes. All of which seem to occur when one is under stress :') Now I am one of those lucky people that doesn't break out very often. However, when I do, a dab of this and away it goes. Just a great all round product. (It also numbs painful 'just emerging' spots that can drive you mad when sat still for 10 hours)

The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion Scrub and Face Primer. This range is fantastic, I got them free as part of a deal a while back and I'm glad I did. They are not something I would think to purchase, but they really do the trick. They give a lovely glow to the skin and my foundation has never gone on smoother. Also smell yummy and orangey.

Garnier Eye Roll On. I have this in the lightest shade. In a nutshell it's fantastic. Does everything it says it will and more. I can sometimes skip the foundation.:)

Simple Facial Wipes. For days when I can't skip the foundation. Gentle, Cheap and remove all traces of make-up.

Maybelline One by One Mascara. Lovely and natural with one coat, yet can be built up for a more dramatic effect. This is competing with my Loreal Telescopic. Not quite there yet though :P

Montagne Jeunesse Facemasks. I love these, they're relatively cheap, you get a lot of product and they all smell delicious. I have also never had a reaction to them (even the more abrasive ones) which is rare due to my temperamental skin.

Last but not least,

Magazines. I finished my exams on the 24th of June and literally bought a pile of magazines that evening. I have had to stop myself from buying any extras other than my Glamour subscription as I am very easily distracted. It was lovely to catch up on all the Fashion and Beauty news :D

Phew!! Long Post.

If you have made it this far thank you for sticking it out!!

What have you been loving for the month of June?

Lots of Love

Lou
