my autumn skin savers


Autumn's finally here and I wanted to share with you
the products that maintain my skin in great condition.
And these 3 products are my absolute favourite for this time of the year.
Boots has 3 for 2 offer just now so I'm all stocked up :)



That's Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula:
their regular butter, firming butter and body oil.
It says on the package that these products are enriched
with vitamin E which is an advanced moisturiser that
softens, smoothes and relieves dry skin.
It also mentions that it's recommended for stretch marks, during
pregnancy. That's perfect for me lol - during last 6 months
I lost overall 15 kg and these products have helped me
to keep it firm and with no visible stretch marks.
All off them smell amazing (not a typical cocoa scent,
a bit nutty or coconutty, still quite sweet) and
they absorb really quickly considering that these are
body butters, not lotions.
Sometimes I use the body oil after an evening shower,
on damp skin and pad it with a towel.
It's really handy when I'm simply too exhausted
to bother with applying body butters.
I should also mention that I use the firming butter on
my thighs, bottom and belly and the regular one
on legs and arms :)

Hope you find it helpful

stuff that I'm loving at the moment

As I haven't done my monthly faves for ages,
I decided to share my faves at the moment.

COLOURFUL EYELINERS
As summer is finally here (well, Scottish summer lol),
I'm in love with playful makeup.
These are all different brands: MUFE, Primark, The Body Shop, H&M.
They're quick to use and very summery.



CLEARASIL RAPID ACTIVE TREATMENT CREAM
As I've been stressed out recently with college and stuff,
I had some major breakouts but this cream works
really well as the overnight treatment
(I wouldn't say that it works within 4h though).



L'OREAL EYELASH SERUM BOOSTER
I used it regularly for about 3 weeks
and my lashes feel stronger. Love this stuff!



THE BODY SHOP EYESHADOW in SUNDOWN GLOW 02
Whenever I'm going for a neutral shadow, that's the one I'm grabbing.
Plus, it looks really nice in the summer because of
the shimmer. Gives an easy smoke eye effect:)



BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION
Perfect for summer as it feels light but gives medium
coverage. It leaves the skin looking a bit dewy.
Impressive for a drugstore product!



RIVER ISLAND WATCH lol
I've got it for over a year.
It's actually a guys' watch but I never leave
my house without it.



IMPULSE DEODORANT - TEASE
I carry it in my purse cos its only 75 ml.
It smells very feminine and allows me to refresh myself
whenever I need it.



ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIPES
I've been travelling a bit and wipes are the best
way of saving some space in your luggage:-)



HARAJUKU SUNSHINE edition - LOVE
A very sweet, playful scent.
It fits my mood perfectly at the moment.
And the packaging is adorable lol



PALMER'S BUTTER
&
THE BODY SHOP SHIMMER BODY BUTTER
The first one great for the night (just hate the bottle,
it gets really difficult to squeeze it out) but it leaves the
skin so soft and moisturised in the morning.
The second one makes the skin shimmer but without any
heavy glitter. And it's coconutty:D Love it!



SPONGEBOB EARRINGS (from Claire's)
Haha. I know. Pretty childish but oh well lol



BLUEBERRIES
Yummy! My favourite snack at the moment.



Wish you all a great week!
xoxo
