MY TOP FACIAL DUO FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN

 

Ahh, long time no blog!  I've not been in much of a blogging mood since December.  I think I may have burned myself out attempting to post every day during Blogmas.  I've barely blogged, or even read any of my favourite blogs, for months now; obviously I needed a bit of a break!  Now I'm back and the blog has a new look... what do you think?  Anyway, I've really missed talking about beauty products here so lets just move on to today's post already!

The skin on my face has always been on the dry side, well actually just my skin in general, so I'm always on the hunt for products that will give me a big boost of hydration.  A good few years ago a friend of mine recommended the Vitamin E range at The Body Shop so I duly popped down to my local store and picked up a tub of moisturising cream.  It was my first true skincare love.

GLAZED APPLE HAND CREAM

I think we'd all agree that hand cream is a handbag essential, especially at this time of year.  I have quite dry skin on my hands all year round but during the cold winter months it's much worse.

FROSTED CRANBERRY SPARKLER

We're approaching the festive season which means it's time to start planning make up party looks.  In my youth this would have meant bucket loads of glitter but over the last 5 years or so my favour towards sparkly make up has dwindled massively.  I do feel like I'm getting a bit too old to plaster myself with glitter which is so sad as I'm a bit of a magpie and love glittery things.

CHRISTMAS AT THE BODY SHOP

Earlier this week I made my way to The Body Shop at the Trafford Centre for the launch of their Christmas collection.  It's not often I go shopping there, although I do have a few favourites that are regulars in my skincare routine, so it was really nice to explore their regular lines as well as checking out all of the new Christmas goodies.
