Loving La Roche-Posay

La Roche-Posay has fast become one of my go-to skincare brands. The range of products is really wonderful and caters for any skin need. Being a girl with skin as dry as the Sahara, I am a huge fan of the HYDRAPHASE line, however, TOLERAINE and HYDREANE are also really lovely. La Roche-Posay is reliable, not too expensive and in my opinion, amazing. 

The first product to bring to your attention in the Hydraphase Intense for eyes. I bought this a year ago in a Parisian pharmacie and since then, I've been obsessed. Its cooling gel formula instantly de-puffs sleepy eyes and injects some much needed moisture. 

To keep imperfections at bay, Serozinc is the pièce de résistance when it comes to toners. Its composition of zinc sulphate solution gently disinfects the skin, making it free from bacteria, pollution etc. Currently not available in the UK but rumour is that it is sailing over the English Channel very soon! 

For a day moisturiser, I was something super light and nourishing. Toleriane Riche is exactly that, its simple formula leaves my skin prepped for makeup and nicely moisturised all day. 

The newest addition to my LRP stash comes in the form of Hydraphase Intense Riche Moisturiser. Currently holding the position as my night moisturiser, it keeps my skin from drying out overnight without feeling heavy. It's lovelllyyy. 

Most available on feelunique or Boots. Or if you happening to be wondering around Paris!

New Video: Lip Product Addict TAG

After filming this video, I have officially come to terms with the fact that I am completely and worryingly so, obsessed with lip products. I have now banned myself from even glancing at the MAC lipstick stand or putting one toe into Boots. Extreme measures must be taken.

A Healthy Breakfast

Being a slight breakfast virgin, fifteen extra minutes in bed was always given more priority, I am genuinely surprised to be writing this post about my new love affair with porridge. Nevertheless, I have been currently tucking into a bowl of porridge every morning, made with almond milk, sliced up banana and a swirl of honey. It is ridiculously easy to make, super healthy and keeps me full until lunchtime. I am a serious porridge convert ... how dull.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush

The excitement surrounding the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders never massively sucked me in, being a huge fun of Chanel Les Beiges, I didn't have a yearning to envelope myself in the Hourglass hype. Yes, they looked beautiful and the packaging was reason in itself to run to Space NK clutching £38 to seal the deal but I resisted. Hourglass then released the Ambient Lighting Blushes and I crumbled. 

The gorgeously individual, almost personalised, marbleised effect on the blush consisting of a beautiful fuchsia pink and champagne highlight had me on the first glance. When brushed onto the cheeks, it appears slightly coral and so, so radiant. No need for extra highlight, this has enough glow to make even Kim K proud. The pigmentation and creamy texture of this blush is incredible and makes application a breeze. Can you tell that I am slightly obsessed? I am so close to running to Space NK clutching £28 to buy another shade!

Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo

An obsession with volume and texture has infected the beauty industry and blogger-sphere in recent months and I have definitely become a victim to big hair. Being a fairly fine-haired girl, I do struggle to get that instant oomph and lift to my hair and I do need a little product help. After just finishing my third can of the Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo, I have concluded that it is my SOS product for flat hair. 

Although it is described as a 'Dry Shampoo', I personally use it as a texturising spray on a daily basis, however, when I am having a greasy/'can't-be-bothered-washing-my-hair' day it is a shower in aerosol form. Another massive gold star to Dove is down to the addition of starch in its ingredients, whilst still absorbing oil, it does not leave any white residue in the hair. This is obviously a Godsend for darker hair and prevents the mortification of revealing the lack of shower that morning.

I find this product amazing for adding serious volume and texture to my hair in seconds and being super affordable at under £5, it's a beaut. 

Available at Boots
