Products I love right now

So today is a bit of a lazy day, and so I decided it would be an excellent chance to talk about all the products I have been using and actually loving!

Lush Tea Tree Water
My skin is not my friend, its hormonal, blotchy, spotty, dry and annoying and somehow this product manages to control it. I have a love / hate relationship with Lush, sometimes I find it to be overpriced and questionable but sometimes they release a product which actually is quite amazing. The combination of tea tree, grapefruit and juniper feels really refreshing on the skin and the smell is very medicinal and therefore gives the feeling of the product "working". I use this with whatever moistuiser I have to hand at that moment and my skin has really thanked me for it as my pores are less defined and my skin less tempermental, what is better than that!
                                                     
 St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan for Body - Medium / Dark






For me a good tan is worth any price tag and I've tried them all! In fact I may have to play with them all again and have a very long post about it. I'm naturally pinky-pale and I always look better with a golden glow but I hate the feeling of rich creams on the skin, so I will only put on fake tan at night. Sleepy application = streaks, patches and orange armpits! Recently I started leering more towards brands which are the higher end of my budget but trustworthy and tanning is no different. I always can count on St Tropez to deliver a decent, fool proof tan in a natural-ish shadeThis product smells quite fresh but there is a note of biscuit, it has a lovely gel like consistency which sinks in quickly and when I wake up I'm subtly glowing and just feel that little bit more beautiful, which is defiantly worth £14. Obviously for a good natural tan in one application this isn't going to deliver but  its the best gradual tanner I've tried.

Benefit Smokin' Eyes
I've began getting a bit lazy in the morning when applying my face, and sometimes its a mad rush to the car so I've started picking up a few things to keep in my work handbag that makes my morning easier including batiste dry shampoo (I hate my hair smelling like talcum powder so I have to spray perfume in my hair as well), nail polish remover pads for when the chip in my polish is just too obvious and a couple of other quick fixes. This product I brought for quick touch ups during the day and as a just in case. This product is just so handy! The pigmentation is good, the colours are neutral, boring, perfect and the mini tweezers are just genius! 

Sanctuary Spa Professional Micro-Dermabrasion Body Renewal
I'm sure I dont need to preach to anyone how amazing exfoliants are and how lovely they make your skin but this one is excellent value for money. A pet hate of mine is any salt scrub, exfoliant or micro dermabrasion product which has barely any exfoliating particles in it. The worst offender is defiantly Body Shop. On the other hand this product is packed, it smells beautiful and I spend the rest of the day stroking my super soft skin.
