Lately I've Been Lovin'..

I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of products I've been lovin' lately. It's not a monthly faves post so obviously wont be every month but whenever I have a few products that I'm absolutely in love with then expect to see the Love List.

Quite a lot of these products are from beauty boxes so I know a lot of you will have had the chance to try them out. I'd love to know your thoughts on them.



The Love List:
Nuxe Huile Prodigleuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil: I've been using this dry oil on my hair, backs of hands, elbows and any random dry patches I get. The scent is very similar to Moroccan Oil but better. The bottle is small (10ml) but a little goes a long way so I can see it lasting a long time.

Davines Authentic Moisturising Balm for hair/face/body: Yet another multi-use product. This balm can be used on the face, body and hair but I've only been using it on my hair as conditioner. I dont get why its called a balm, its not at all. Once on the hair it feels so similar to Joico K-Pak but without all the Parabens and silicone. This bad boy doesnt leave the hair looking dull or overloaded with silicone build- up. I've been hairdressing for around 10years and would go as far as saying its one of the best, if not the best conditioner I've ever used and the fact that its not full of crap which actually causes more damage to your hair and health makes it even better.

Figs & Rouge 100% Organic Balm: First of all - this stinks! I'm not a fan of geranium at all but the balm itself is brilliant for lips. Again, this balm can be used almost anywhere, it can even be used as a cleanser but I've only been using it on my lips before bed. I apply quite a lot and by morning it has fully sank in and my lips feel brand new! I love the packaging and the other flavours that are available so I'll definately be picking up some more.



Rimmel - Peppermint: The Rimmel pro brushes are brilliant and make application really easy. I've been wearing peppermint a lot lately, its such a gorgeous shade and lasts really well.

F.A.B Cleanser: The cleanser has a pearlescent look which made me think it would be really foamy and strip the skin but its not at all. It lathers up slightly but without the usual foam, leaves the face feeling squeeky clean but without any tightness. No matter what cleanser I use, I'll often get hives but I havent had any whilst using this. It is free from parabens, harsh chemicals and colourants and safe for sensitive skin. I always use a mit or muslin cloth to rinse it off.



MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle: This has to be the best makeup purchase I've made in a long, long time. I dont know how I ever done my makeup without it, it makes such a big difference and leaves the skin looking really glowy and healthy.

Melvita Rose Extraordinary Water: I cant say I've noticed any big changes from using this but I just love how it makes my face feel so smooth and it seems to help with redness or if I've got any heat coming from parts of my face.

    1. The Melvita Rose Extraordinary Water is really lovely. I'm not a lover of rose scents but I could sniff this all day. If you order it just made sure you dont order the normal rose water by mistake, I almost did.

      I'm sure you will love the Davines Balm, I just aplly it to midlengths and ends.

  4. The only MSF I have from MAC is soft and gentle! It's so beautiful it almost seems a shame to use it because I want to keep it forever (there's no logic in it except that It's pretty and I dont want it to finish! LOL)

  6. I've still to try a Mac MSF (I know I must be the last blogger to the party!). I've recently bought a Davines Shampoo and am really liking it. I haven't heard much about the brand so its useful to hear their other products are just as good.
