I have been thinking about getting some nice lipstick for a while. I don't ever wear it so I didn't know what to choose or where to go. I don't really know how to apply it either ( I call myself a girl?). But you know, we can all change and improve..

This week I visited Superdrug: with the intention of finding a nice natural eye shadow. As you do, you always get distracted by all the lovely girly necessities, your brain goes overload in everything you could possibly want. Containing myself I headed over to the Rimmel stand. Rimmel have a lovely 2 for 3 offer on at the moment, so obviously you can't just get one item.. (Go Check it out)
Looking through the lipstick shades I wanted one that was as natural that can be but will still give me a peachy glow for everyday wear. The shade I chose was from Kate and it's number 16 called 'Rossetto / Rouge A Levres'. I guess that I subconsciously chose this colour for valentines day without slapping on the Clique Red Lipstick. It's a really pretty colour, I am happy from the outcome and can see me loving this the more that I wear it. I hope you can see clearly in the photos as it is a more pink rose colour.

Moving on to the Rimmel Eye Shadow that I went in the store for. I love my natural Rimmel palette that I already own but it's wearing thin now - sad times! I love these five shades, they are all a bit shimmery but I like this about it. I was daring on my first go using the middle shade - a bronze/red shade. I do love it, its striking and I think it matches my top nicely. Overall, happy with these colours and I'm excited to try the next one, I'm thinking to be less daring and go for the bottom right shade x

Lastly, I really need some new blusher, my old one from The Body Shop has been used up and I really loved it. I chose to go for pretty much the same pale pink shade but I got this from Collection. I love the pretty pattern on the blush which makes not want to use it, but I have too...
The blusher is perfect, I love the shade and it takes to my skin well.

All in all, my beauty shop went fantastically well! x

Having a good face toner is a really good way to throughly cleanse your face and get rid of excess makeup. I was pretty gutted when I ran out of my Morrisons brand toner and since I have changed super market I decided that I would pop into Asda after work to grab some. I wasn't too bothered on the brand I wanted I was just eager to get the toner and leave, I came across one of the cheapest in store which to my surprise was by Olay. I have never tried Olay but I understood the brand and the popularity of it. Without too much thinking and after reading the ingredients I popped it in my basket. The scent is really calming and it has cucumber which is my favorite beauty ingredient - refreshing and hydrating! Nothing beats a refreshing face in the morning (and a tea of course). 

While browsing the face care isle I realised that I needed a new moisturiser. Next month I am going to be 25 which means one thing - ageing. I always promised myself that as soon as I turn 25 I will look more into anti-ageing products and techniques that help the skin as it starts to change maturely. Although the moisturiser I chose isn't technically an anti ageing product it does state that it improves a youthful look - they had me at that to be honest. This day cream is double action nourishing and protective for normal / dry skin and it is a base for applying makeup - Double points? I love the pale colour of the cream and the packaging is pretty and girly -inspiring my mood on Monday mornings. The cream doesn't smell of anything particular which I actually appreciate. These two products really do make a good team. 

What daily facial products do you all recommend to be the most refreshing and vitalising?
