Beauty… 3 items you need in your life…

 

1. Chanel – Les Beiges, All-in-one healthy glow fluid – I had my makeup done at Chanel recently as she used this product on me. I have been in love ever since. I am not a foundation wearer and even struggle to wear tinted moisturiser. This formula is a mix between a tinted moisturiser and a BB cream. It has an SPF in it and it’s is just divine. It’s light coverage that really does smooth and light the skin. You can’t tell I’m wearing anything but I just look better.

2. Essie – Instant Dry Oil – I love having painted nails and with two kids I rarely find the time to paint them and wait for them to dry even with quick dry polish. At night I was always too tired and when they were sleeping I had other things to do and murphy’s law would state as soon as I sat down to do them or I had just finished they would wake. Not to mention that my mani’s never last that long. I wash my hands so often during the day and with the kids I am just really hard on my hands so it just never seemed worth it. Well…. enter Essie’s instant dry oil. It really does dry my nails in an instant so having to wait for your nails to dry is a thing of the past. I LOVE this product and now find myself with my nails polished all the time. YAY!

3. Chanel – Eau Douceur cleansing water – I am really quite lazy with my skincare routine. When this was introduced to me I instantly fell in love. You squirt it on to cotton makeup pads and wipe over your face. It removes all makeup and is gentle and cleansing on your skin. There is no need to additional cleansing. So no running water and a washer. I love it and find my skin has never been better because I am more consistent with my skincare.

So, anyone already use any of these? Any other awesome products I should know about?…

Aesop… it’s a deep love…

I am in love with Aesop products. It is a love bordering on obsession. It started 4 years ago on our Honeymoon. We were lucky enough to spend a few days at Qualia and their in room products are Aesop. I fell in love with the Rind concentrate body balm (5) I have used it ever since. I also used the Geranium Leaf body cleanser (2) when we travelled. I was using it recently when home at Mum and Dad’s and the scent of the Geranium leaf hit me like a brick… It immediately took me back to Qualia and the feelings of Sun, Freedom and relaxation washed over me. I immediately went out to buy the body wash and have been hooked ever since. Every time I use it I am transported back to that moment of relaxation and freedom. I also love how the scent lingers in the bathroom long after you’ve finished your shower and have moisturised. Because the Geranium leaf had such a strong sensory trigger for me I also started to use the body balm (3) and body scrub (1)…

 

I am always on the hunt for a great hand cream as I hate anything too greasy so when I tried the Resurrection aromatique hand balm (9) I was hooked. I use it every night before bed and have noticed the difference and the smell is amazing…

During winter your skin needs an extra moisture boost so I added the Geranium leaf hydrating body treatment (4) to the line up and either use it straight on slightly damp skin or mix it with the geranium body balm for an added hydration boost. It was also really great after a day in the sun when in Fiji recently…

When our ensuite was finally finished I added the Resurrection aromatique hand wash (8) which is one of Aesop’s best sellers. It’s really lovely, smells great and actually makes your hands feel soft…

With two little ones I love having rinse free hand wash on me and the Resurrection rinse free hand wash (6) is terrific for this. It smells great and doesn’t strip your hands of moisture like most others…

and… finally, the Rosehip seed lip cream (7) is great. It is a cream, not a balm so it’s like moisturiser for your lips. I use it every night before bed under paw paw ointment. I struggle with moisture levels on my lips so am always looking for a great lip balm. I love paw paw ointment and the lip cream adds that extra bit of moisture.

As you can see it’s a deep love…

Do you use Aesop? What’s your favourite product?
