Top Winter Skincare Products

Coming into the Winter months can be quite harsh on your skin, and here in Northern Ireland, it is very cold and wet and just horrible at this time of the year - so I need products that can help reduce my dry skin, hydrate my skin and add a bit of radiance - and with these products I achieve that.

No7 Beautiful Skin Radiance Exfoliator 
 I have only been trying this product for maybe 2 weeks now maybe every other day and I really like it. Everytime I use it my skin feels so much softer and looks so much healthier adding a really like natural glow to my skin - it's also quite gentle on my skin so it doesn'y affect my sensitivity and there is little to no fragrance.
Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It
I've been using this product for a good few months now, maybe 2 or 3 just as a more intensive exfoliating treatment as compared to the No7 one - it is quite strong and almost has a tingling sensation to the skin - but I've noticed that when I do leave it on for a few minutes it really helps to clean out my pores, especially around my nose and leaves my skin feeling baby soft and clean. On the downside though, it does leave my skin feeling quite tight but once I moisturise my skin is back to normal.
No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask
I've has this mask for a good few months now and it's still going strong - I really love this product, it's probably the best facial mask I've used. Its quite thick and creamy in texture and it has almost a cooling effect which really helps to tone down on my redness and it leaves my skin feeling and looking so soft, healthy and hydrated - especially coming into these winter months this is exactly what I need, I would highly recommend it!
No7 Beautiful Skin Overnight Radiance Boost
I would use this product only maybe once or twice or week, it really depends on how my skin is looking and feeling, but I would apply this before I go to bed and a few minutes after I have moisturised just to ensure that I don't layer it over and it can't be absorbed properly into my skin. I really love how this product makes my skin look in the morning - its really radiant and fresh and exactly what I need for my skin.

Favourite Winter Lipsticks

Winter is a great time to start experimenting with different lipstick colours and for me, being able to alter the look of your makeup by only changing one small aspect of it is something I really love and enjoy doing - so in this post I'm going to share with your 5 of my favourite lipsticks for Winter.

 These are my top 5 lipsticks for Winter and from left to right they are;
No7 Pillarbox Red
Revlon Va Va Violet
Rimmel Kate Moss 48
Avon Frozen Rose
Maybelline Tantalizing Taupe
These lipticks are perfect for winter as they are all, non drying and very moisturising and creamy on the lips, the pigmentation lasts all day and the wear of each is great in all weather conditions - I've never had any smudge or run in the rain or cold weather which is always good and the colours themselves are perfect for winter season.

Autumn/Winter Fashion - Skirts

So recently, as the weather has gotten more Autumnal I have really been loving the whole skirts and tights trend - which to be honest, I was never really into - but this year I have really gotten a thing for skirts so I thought I would show you some of my favourites so far :)

I purchased all of these skirts form Exhibit and I absoloutely love them! The tartan skirt was my most recent purchase - i picked it because I love the tartan style, you can wear it either dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion, the material is lovely - it's quite stretchy so it's very comfortable even with the zip up back - I also loved the plu leather band across the waist, I thought it made the skirt look quite edgy. 

The embroidered skirt is by far my favourite. I love the colours I think they're beautiful and very wintery - I'll definately be wearing this around Christmas - but in saying that, I don't think this skirt is secluded to just Christmas - I think it can be pulled off any time of the year. The material is quite thick which I like, the shape is also really flattering as it makes you look more curvy and feminine.

The floral skirt was my first purchase and I love it. The colours are gorgeous - I'm not usually a pink person, but with the whites, greens and oranges I think it gives the skirt some added dimension and doesn;t make it look quite so "girly." I love how it has pockets as well and the added detail of the zip, the shape is also really flattering like the one before and it's just really feminine and lovely.

I do intend to purchase more skirts as they are now one of my favourite clothing items so I will be updating yous on those :) 

Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette

 

As it is coming towards the end of summer and entering into Autumn/Winter season, I thought I would just share with you one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes for the Autumn/Winter season, and it is the Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette. 

My mum got me this for Christmas and I love it. It has the perfect berry shades for the season and as all of the shadows are quite frosted/shimmery, it really adds to the effect. The pigmentation is also really good, as you would expect from Coastal Scents, and as I have green eyes, they berry tones really compliment them. I ll definately be using this most throughout the next season :)
