Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday. How has your week been so far ?? Today I will be sharing my first empties post. These are all products that I've finished in 2018 so far - and I hope to share many more empties posts with you guys this year. I feel empty posts are the best as they give the best review since the product was used completely. My first empty post includes some haircare , body care , candles , make-up and sheet masks and a mask or two from Tara & Jack. Some products I've done a full review on previously - and I'll link reviews were possible. So let's jump into my trash ... errrm empties ... Eau Thermale Avene Thermal Spring Water I mentioned this in numerous monthly favourites and I buy the big bottle for the last two times I have repurchased. This is such a firm favourite in my routine - I use it to set make-up on some days ... to calm down my skin after some of my stronger facial treatments - after some yoga or running  . Name it I use it. Alex love

Hi guys ! Happy Friday . How was your week ? Hopefully not too hectic . Mine has been very busy with juggling parenthood (and a kid with a million and one activities ) with work and blogging. But I survived - so a big yeah for that.  Today I will be sharing my Top 5 Everyday Nude Nail Polishes with you guys. As you know I love a good nude nail polish - and they are usually my go to shade every week ( well at least until my good friend Siobhan convinced me to do the #52weeknailchallenge with her) .  For the last few years I usually just went with nude nails and the occasional pink nails as my go to. I love how classic it looks and that it goes with everything. Most work environments require a more neutral look and nothing too over the top.  Do I think it might be a little boring and predictable ? Sure , perhaps if you like more bolder colours ... But these are my favourites that I recommend to anyone looking for a good nude polish staple in their collection.  Essence el Nail

Hi guys. Happy Wednesday ! How has your week been so far ?  Today I'm sharing some of my favourite sunscreen products with you . I wear sunscreen every day - come rain or shine and I let my son wear sunscreen on a daily basis too - so these are our favourite ones we are currently using. I believe sunscreen is such an important step in your daily routine - not only is sunburned skin super sore - it makes you age faster too . I believe sunscreen not only protects your skin - but is such an important step to keep you looking younger for longer.  Justine Tissue Oil Skin Repair Face Cream SPF 20  (Normal Skin & Oily Skin versions) I actually started using the smaller tube bottle of these on Alex a year or two ago as he was really struggling with dry skin and I wanted to get a good cream to hydrate his face and give sunscreen benefits. Now it's all that he uses This face cream is absorbed into the skin easily and helps moisture soften and protect against sun damage and p

Hi guys . Happy Monday ? How was your weekend ?? Last week REN launched a new Ultimate Skin Perfecting Serum - I was lucky enough to receive this in PR in January - so I could test it out properly before doing a review . REN describes this product the perfect silicone free serum to use after moisturiser. This helps to ensure skin is smoothed, lifted and naturally filled , resulting in a matte finish to create the perfect canvas for make-up.  Perfect Canvas Skin Perfecting Serum is formulated with probiotics extract that positively influences the speed and quality of the epidermal growth, boosting the production of essential proteins and enzymes which improves the barrier function and cell cohesion , promoting overall skin health and structure.  Hyluronans that covert the HA in the skin, increase skin hydration , elasticity and and the reduction of wrinkle depht while Agave tequilana extract provides an instant filling effect and mattifies without the use of silicone. Lastly t

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . And Happy Valentine's day to those celebrating. If you don't - then happy Wednesday.  Today I'm bringing you the last instalment of my 6 Favourite Pink Face products. These are all products I love and reach for on a almost daily basis . So let's jump into the products . Glamore Cosmetics Bevel Make-Up Sponge These  Glamore Cosmetics  Bevel sponges are the best make-up application tool ever. I don't own a Beauty Blender - and after trying these sponges I'm sure I'll never try another one. This is so soft and squishy and blends your foundation like a dream. And it's pretty affordable too !  Hean Face Contour Mix I'm sure it's pretty obvious that the blushes in this palette are loved. I love the rosy golden tone of the top blush ( on which I've clearly hit pan on) and can't recommend it enough . The darker matte pink blush is gorgeous too ( I have some swatches after the next blush ). This blush lasts

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ? I'm finally feeling more human after being super sick last week . How was your weekend ? Today I'm sharing part 2 of my three part mini series on the blog on my favourite pink products. Today's post is all about the pink lippies I reach for the most and all are perfect choices for a pink lip for Valentines day. Now if you are single or not celebrating - these make awesome everyday pink lippies options too.  Avon Mark Liquid Lip Lacquer in Blushing I did a full review  HERE  but this is   one of my favourite ones.  These are like a melted down lipstick - the colour is gorgeous and opaque and the formula is super hydrating and nice and buttery . The formula also has a built- in primer to smooth the lip surface.   The best part yet again - it's super moisturising and the colour looks amazing on everyone .  Revlon Kiss Balm in Fresh Strawberry   This is technically more a lip-balm as a lipstick - but it leaves the

Hi guys. Happy Thursday. Sorry for the silence on the blog - last week was crazy busy with my little guy's 8th birthday and I am off sick this week - but hopefully I'll be feeling better soon and posting more.  Today I will be sharing some o/f my favourite pink nail colours for Valentines day . I love wearing pink nail polishes in general - and especially in the month of L-O-V-E I try and wear as much pinks as possible. Today I will be sharing 6 awesome choices (although one is a glitter with more than just pink glitter in - but it's such an awesome option too )  Next week I will be sharing some of my favourite pink products with you guys too - so keep an eye out for that post on Monday . Avon BB 7-1 Nail Colour in Perfect Pink I already did a full review  HERE  but this is such a perfect soft pink for a date night - it's perfection in my books. This colour covers imperfections and smoothes ridges - and cares for your nails - so it doesn't just look pret
