SKIN CARE TIPS FOR THE COLD SEASON





           Just because summer is over , that doesn't mean that we should neglect our skin,on the contrary,our skin needs even more care.The cold , windy weather normally brings us chapped lips and dry skin , but I have the perfect products to make it through the season .
Because my skin gets very dry and sometimes flaky, I have to exfoliate it every time I take a shower,so this is my shower and skin care routine:



First thing first: before taking a shower , I apply my Bee Good Facial Exfoliator and I leave it on my skin until I finish my shower,and I remember every couple of minutes to gently massage it onto my face and lips .This is a product that I absolutely adore and I have received it in my Glossybox a while ago , but I use it at least once per week and it's very gentle to the sensitive skin . Also , after I wash it off I immediately use a  face serum and a hydrating cream.

 I bought Ecotools  for its dual cleansing pad,which means that you can use it on both sides ; the front for cleaning and the back pad for exfoliating the skin.I always use it with the Verbena Leaf Soap from L'Occitane, because this soap is also a gentle exfoliator and it smells really nice.I would say it is unisex,so your partner might like it as well.





I really had mixed feelings if I should include in this post my Scrub Love with Charcoal and Avocado because I have a love-hate relationship with it.Why?Well...Whenever I use it , my bathtub becomes a mess,the smell isn't very appealing and my skin gets a bit dark because of the big chunks of charcoal ,but I will continue using this product because it actually works.It's the best exfoliator that I have ever used,but it can be a bit harsh with the skin.After I use it my skin looks a bit redish  but after one minute it just changes to its normal colour and my skin becomes baby soft.This is the perfect moment to use a body cream.

 Malee Conditioning Body Cream quickly became my favourite body cream for the cold season.It smells gorgeous, and it works so good for my dry skin . This is the only body cream which I use that my husband doesn't say ' the smell is too strong!' or 'don't use it before we go to bed! ' .It has a buttery texture , but it gets absorbed easily and it contains vitamins beneficial for your skin.




Do you have any tips ? What is your skin care routine?

Weekend Shopping - MAC , KAT VON D , SLEEK

I really don't know what's happening to me lately , but if it's a sunny weekend then most probably you will find me in Leeds City Center , spending my money like there's no tomorrow on make-up.
On one of my last spending sprees I bought:














MAC BRUSH CLEANSER  13£
KAT VON D EVERLASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK REDEEM  17£
SLEEK HIGHLIGHT PALETTE DISTORTED DREAMS   11£
SLEEK LIP LINER  5£


I really needed a fast clean up method for my brushes when I'm on the go,so MAC Brush Cleanser was the perfect option for me . I've used it a couple of times and not only that it works , but it's my favorite way of cleaning my brushes.I really recommend this product.

Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks are my option whenever I need a lasting color , specially when I go out for a meal because the color just stays there for hours and hours  even if I eat or drink.Also,my husband prefers this kind of lipstick as he hates it when I kiss him and his lips get colored. 

I bought Sleek's Distorted dreams highlighter when Kat von D's Alchemist palette was sold out , and I got to admit it , I have a love-hate relationship with it.The colors are nice but the glitter is sooo chunky...and the cream highlighters are hard to apply nicely.

 Sleek's lip liner is just a normal creamy lip liner. Not very special,but it's doing its job.
