Hello my lovelies :-)! Today I bring you my honest opinion on an incredible product: Caudalie's Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum.
I don't know if it is the rubbish English weather, stress, not drinking enough water, or whatever else, but for the past couple months I have had a problem with my skin looking dehydrated. As a baseline standard, I have normal, clear, healthy skin that swings slightly towards the dry side at times. However, due to dehydration, my skin had been producing excess oil to make up for the water loss. This was resulting in a few break-outs and a tight feeling in my skin throughout the day.
My Oilatum moisturiser had been doing a great job, but I just felt I needed something to give me an extra boost. I had heard great things about this serum and had just run out of the Sonoma Naturals Avocado one I had been using, so decided to give the Caudalie SOS a try. I kid you not, within a day I noticed a huge difference! I apply it in the morning before moisturiser and instantly my skin looks plump and dewy and really glows. I have had several compliments lately on how great and healthy my skin looks and I really see the difference.
This product ranges from £26-30 depending on where you shop, but I had a 20% off voucher for HQHair which allowed me to get it for about £23 - bargain! I recommend signing up to this site as they send you 20% off vouchers quite often AND they offer free shipping.
Honestly, amazing stuff. I would recommend to anyone with dehydrated skin.
Review: Weleda Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream
Almost 2 months ago I decided to make the switch to skincare and bodycare products that do not contain parabens. I placed a nice little order with Feel Unique (post here) but vowed not to review anything until giving them a proper testing.
First up is the Weleda Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream. This stuff is literally the best hand cream I have ever used! It is rich and moisturising but absorbs instantly, so as to not leave a greasy film on the skin. For those of you who aren't sure of the scent of sea buckthorn, it is similar to ginger - zesty and warm.
I would absolutely recommend this bad boy to anyone in the market for a hand cream! At £7.95 for 50ml the price is pretty good, for the quality is fantastic.

Shopping The Stash
I moved house a couple days ago and it really put into perspective just how many beauty products and items of clothing I seem to have accumulated. I am now living with the bf, so shared space definitely means upping the organisation, clearing out, and enjoying what I already have rather than pleasing the shopper in me.
At the end of the day, I have just finished University and am saving up to go travelling. This is not the time to be shopping, but rather getting creative and also reassessing what I truly need. That being said, I am a beauty geek at heart and love coming up with new looks and playing around with my plethora of barely-touched shades.
These are 3 products that I thought I would give some lovin'. The Too Faced Amber Asteroid eyeshadow is a gorgeous Mac Club-esque colour that looks great with green or brown eyes. MAC's Stereo Rose MSF is a gorgeous shimmery blush/highlight. Finally Benefit's Hoola is a very subtle bronzer on my skintone (MAC NC30) so just adds a touch of healthy colour.
Go have a play with your stash, you'll probably rediscover some lovely little gems :-)

The Best Bargain Shoes
Whilst undergoing a casual mission to find the perfect coat for a good friend of mine yesterday (yes, in July...this is England -_-) we popped into Primark for some basics. I have been on the hunt for a comfortable, practical pair of black pumps for a while. Oh, and I've put myself on a budget as I am saving this year for an epic travel adventure. Primark had the perfect answer!
I must be a bit behind with the whole Primark thing because I was blown away when I noticed the pricetag - £3.00. Crazy stuff! They have really good, rubberised soles and look like they wont be leaking anytime soon (I cannot deal with pathetic soles and all the walking I do in this English weather!). They also come in turquoise, grey, white, burgundy and camel. TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
