GIVING CLEANSING BALMS A GO

I’d been wanting to try out one of these cleansing balm thingymabobbies for ages, but as a creature of habit, I hadn’t got round to updating my skincare routine. When I heard about the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm through the Debenhams Beauty Club I was super keen to give it a go – it’s an award winner designed for a deep cleanse, so my baby soft skin expectations were high.

I’ve had a few Elemis bits from Debenhams before, but never tried out any of their cleansers... As a loyal user of hot cloth options, I just hadn’t got round to trying something new. The product is a similar concept – you apply it all-over before wiping it off with the Elemis cloth that comes with the product. Compared with cream products I’ve used, the balm has a real luxurious feel. I love how it melts into the skin, easily removing even the thickest layers of mascara, yet still feeling gentle. I guess it’s the application of this stuff that has really got me hooked – it just feels like I’m giving my skin TLC, leaving my face squeaky clean at the end of it.

Making the most of the Debenhams Beauty Club is definitely worthwhile if you’re looking to update your skincare routine. I head in store to find all my brand favourites, as well as check out any new beauty exclusives that are available. My bank balance ain’t so happy about my never ending beauty wish list, but at least I can stock up on the beauty points while spending! I regularly end up with a bag of samples to get through after a trip to my local, but with blemish prone skin like mine I love being able to try things out first.

Have any of you guys tried this one out?! I’ll be updating my Snapchat (fashioninflux) with some more detail on it, so keep an eye out for that!

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

PERSONAL SHOPPING AT TOPSHOP | PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS

Image
Party season is the moooost wonderful time of the year, so when Topshop invited me in to check out their personal shopping service I was more than excited. As much as I love getting dolled up, I find the whole process of outfit hunting stressful – I’m pretty particular, so it usually takes me forever! Not only that, but I got to try the personal shopper experience in Topshop at Meadowhall… I love anything that’s blogging related and local! It’s nice to know that the rest of the country hasn’t been forgotten about, and we can all have an extra special shopping treat. I’ve been to a couple of personal shopping events before, and the team at Topshop didn’t disappoint! I was greeted with some dream boat outfits that the lovely Kirby, my personal stylist, had picked out for me. She found me so many pieces that were just my sort of thing! That’s all part of the service - you just give them a call, let them know what you’re after, tell them your size and they’ll do all the faffy...

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...
