Wow i have really been loving these cheeky 40% off body shop has been having lately. I always have mini lists as i love so much of the products that they have. Everything i have tried i have never been left disappointed!! After using and loving the Vitamin E Sink In Moisture Mask (which is on its last legs at the moment) and seeing so much of a difference in my skin i thought i would dabble in more of the Vitamin E range so the facial oil really appealed to me and after ordering i eagerly awaited the arrival.
The Vitamin E range provides a high dose of moisture back into the skin leaving it looking more plumped, soft and hydrated. Being a fan of facial oils and seeing the difference they make to my skin and with the colder months i thought that this would really help keep my skin moisturised. The facial oil is packed with essential oils including rose to help soothe the skin and the senses aswell as this it is also rich in essential
fatty acids that help to restore the skin’s moisture barrier and help to
keep it smooth and supple. The oil has a mild scent of roses so it isnt too overpowering and the feel of the oil is very light in consistency which sinks into the skin quickly.The oil is a lovely pre treatment before moisturiser which will help to boost moisture levels and nourish the skin.
I use approx 2 drops before my moisturiser or sometimes i mix it in and the results in the morning are amazing. My skin is left looking fresh, radiant and plumped up. After using this for a good month i have noticed that whenever i get blemishes they heal alot quicker with a dose of this facial oil every couple of days and any pesky dry patches on my face are cleared in a couple of days. I think that this will last a good while to as i havent used much and still have over 3/4 left. I use this at night as i find it gives my skin a much better dose of moisture and it hasnt broken me out or clogged my pores which is a bonus.
If you are after a light oil through the chill cold months and want to help rid of dry patches or add a dose of extra moisture then this is a lovely product to try.

Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Oil
So as the nights go darker quicker and the weather is getting colder its time to change up the makeup look. As ive said before im a very simple makeup girl and tend to stick to the same things for awhile but as its a new season i slightly change the products ive used. Ive chosen two products for eyes, lips and blusher which are the ones i use on a regular basis.
Eyes - For the autumn months i like to wear a stronger eye look then normal which includes one of my favourite eyeshadows. The shade is called 'Mocha' which is a lovely rich bronzy colour from ELF. Its finely pigmented and creates such a lovely intense look. To pair up with this i use the MUA 'pearl' eyeshadow for a brow highlighter and inner corner. It really helps to open the eyes in a subtle way. I then like to add a thin eyeliner look thats close to the lashes to define them slightly.
Blusher - I am a big blusher lover and i think it really can add warmth to your face which is something that i need more in the colder months as my skin goes very dull. To help perk up them cheeks i have loved using the Maxfactor Miracle Blush in 'soft cardinal' which i have spoke about recently. Its a lovely bright pink colour that is a natural flush colour and perfect for paler skin tones as it really warms the skin up. On other days i have dug out one of my powder Illamasqua blushers 'Allure' which is a pretty muted coral colour with fine bits of sparkle added which adds a subtle glow to the skin. Both of them are my go to for this season.
Lips - I have two colours for autumn which i tend to stick to either a nude or a bold coral colour. For the bold lip look i have been using the NYC lipstick in 'smooch' which is a pretty pinky red colour. It makes my teeth look so white and i love wearing this dabbed on the lips after some balm likewise the ELF lipstick in 'natural nymph' a lovely nude colour that is suited to my skin tone and perks up my everyday look to make me look more natural fresh faced.
What are your autumn beauty picks this year?
I thought i would share with you all my recent purchases from Superdrug and Boots. I didnt seem to find alot of things as i was in a complete rush. Hoping my next trip i can spend a good hour so in there which can easily be done.
First of all in Superdrug i only picked up one item which is a repurchase - the Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser. I have spoke about this before in a post and i absolutely adore it. Sometimes shop own brands can be misleading in my eyes i never think they are going to be great due to the fact they are so cheap to buy but my opinion has quickly changed with this cleanser. Its a rich cleanser but at the same time lightweight so its not something that is like a balm but it still feels like you are getting a high dose of moisture. I think this is a good product to have on rotation so maybe one day your face may be feeling abit dry and pop this on and you are good to go. Its so affordable and the results are noticed after first use.
Next part is Boots - I picked up some more cotton pads which i like to get the baby extra large ones as one cotton pad is all you need to get rid of everything. You also get 75 in the pack which lasts a good couple of months with me. I decided to try a new deodrant as im getting bored with the same one i use. I chose the Mitchum Advanced Control Unscented. This is amazing and i actually like the no fragrance too it as sometimes i find that the scents can be too strong.
The last things i picked up was two things from Dove - the Nutrive Solutions Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo and Intensive Repair Mask. After using the Dove Leave in Conditioner which now is one of my favourite products to use i thought i would dabble more into the brand. Both of these were on offer at the time which i cant resist a bargain. They both offer hydrating to the hair and helping to get it back into good condition. Looking forward to trying both of these out.
