My current favourites

Hi everyone, so today I decided I would share some of the things that I am currently loving right now. I have included both beauty and random favorites to add a bit of variety!

1. Revlon Colourstay Foundation

The first product that I have been loving for a while now is the Revlon Colourstay Foundation. I have mine in the oily/combination formula and in the colour 150 buff. What I love about this foundation is the coverage it gives yet it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Revlon have recently put a pump on the packaging of the bottle, which makes it so much easier to use and control how much product you want to use. I like to apply this foundation by dotting it on my face with my fingers and buffing the foundation in with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, which blends the foundation like a dream and leaves you with a flawless finish. I use this foundation on an every day basis and would highly recommend it if you like a medium/full coverage finish to your foundation.

2. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I use this sponge with the foundation I mentioned above. It applys the foundation so easily and leaves your foundation with a flawless finish. I like to put mine under running water to dampen the sponge, and squeeze it out well, removing any excess water with a paper towel. The water makes the sponge double in its size and makes it easier to blend the foundation into the skin. 

3. Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer

I love this concealer for brightening up the under eye area and other areas on my face. I just apply it in an upside down triangle shape under my eye, between my eyebrows, chin and the arch of my brows. This leaves these areas nice and brightened up. I found it very long lasting on the skin. For only 3.99 euros you can't go wrong!

4. Carmex

I have very dry lips and have always used Vaseline. However I would constantly have to reapply Vaseline throughout the day and found it just drying out my lips more. Then I decided I would give Carmex a go after hearing good things about it and now I wouldn't be without it. Its very moisturizing on the lips, and I find I only need to reapply a few times throughout the day. I find myself always picking up Carmex when I am in Penney's so that I won't run out of it. Its a must for my lips!

5. Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion

I unfortunately suffer with psoriasis on my arms and thighs and I have tried many moisturisers but found most of them just worsen the psoriasis. I decided to try out the Aveeno Daily Moisturisng Lotion. While it doesn't cure the psoriasis, I find it really helps to calm down the redness and bumps on my skin and it leaves your skin feeling moisturised for hours after. It does contain naturally active colloidal oatmeal, which may be the reason its helps to calm down the redness and irritation on my skin from the psoriasis. If you suffer with psoriasis or dry skin I would highly recommend you give this moisturiser a go.

6. Twinnings Green Tea

I know the taste might not be for everyone but I don't mind the taste(or maybe I've just gotten used to it!). I like to drink a cup of this in between meals and I find it fills me up and helps me stop craving sweet things. Green tea also has many benefits including speeding up your metabolism and detoxifying the body, to name but a few. Twinnings also do a variety of other flavours including lemon green tea, jasmine green tea and cranberry green tea. I have tried the lemon green tea and its quite nice for a change from just green tea.

7. Nairns dark chocolate oat biscuits

Lately I've been obsessed with these biscuits. They are wheat free, contain 40% less sugar than the average biscuit and have only 45 calories per biscuit! The best bit about them is they taste the exact same as your average chocolate chip biscuit( but are a lot healthier for you). I like to have these in the evenings with a cup of tea to kill the sweet cravings! If you like chocolate chip cookies but want to be a bit healthier try these!

8. Pretty Little Liars

Last but certainly not least is my latest Netflix obsession, Pretty Little Liars. After hearing so much good things about this series I decided to give in to the hype and give it a watch. I'm only half way through season 1 but I was hooked after the first episode!. I love the suspense it it,'whos A' (I'll have to resist looking it up!) and how every episode leaves you wanting to watch more.

So that was my current favourites right now. I hope you all enjoyed and I will see yous in my next post.

Until next time,
