NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

This evening's post is actually a cheeky self promo of my Youtube channel. I decided to film me swatching my collection of the Soft Matte Lip Creams (SMLCs) by NYX Cosmetics. I also added on a few shades of their Lip Lingerie products too. The SMLCs are one of my favourite lip products as they aren't too drying but still pack a punch with the pigment. Check out my opinions and my collection of colours here.

Super Facialist

This week I thought I'd share one of my favourite skincare products. The Superfacialist by Una Brennan range is available in Boots stores and online. The entire brand is mid range for prices on the high street, the most expensive item being £19.99. I particularly like their Vitamin C Skin Renew Cleansing Oil for taking off heavier makeup and anything waterproof.

The Superfacialist range offers up a clay mud mask that's affordable in comparison to the likes of Origins but still packs a punch just as strong as high end brands. Clay is reknowned for it's detoxing and cleansing properties, as a skincare product it draws out any impurities in the skin such as blackheads. This mask also contains salicylic acid which is a fantastic ingredient for acne prone skin as it aids in unblocking congested pores.

I'm usually quite sceptical about products with big claims. This one doesn't boast, but my goodness it ought to! I have never used a face mask that has given me immediate results. After removing this my skin looks as if it is glowing, and returns the youthful qualities of my skin that insomia frequently robs me of. The anti blemish face mask is available for £9.99 linked here.

Sweet Patisserie: Zoella Beauty

 I recently picked up a few products from the third range from Zoella Beauty. Following the original collection and her second tutti fruiti range, this time around is the 'Sweet Inspirations' collection with a macaron fragrance. If you're not familiar with the French fancies, macarons have a sweet vanilla and almond scent. Each range she develops gets better and better. I particularly love the packaging of this range, it's very sophisticated with art nouveau inspired patterns and is remenicsent of all things from the roaring twenties and 2013's film adapation of 'The Great Gatsby'. My favourite product from the range so far is the body mist. I've purchased all three that she has released so far and this is by far my favourite! The fragrance is incredibly sophisticated and yet it retails for only £8.00.

A few of the products have returned again but have been infused with the 'Sweet Inspirations' fragrance. This time around the effervescent bath fizzers are a bit larger but still retail for £5.00 and the formula still packs a punch when you pop them in the bath. The body cream has returned after it's successful debut in the first collection. I didn't manage to try the original formula but I already love the Double Créme body lotion, please don't dollop this on top of your strawberries! It's super moisturising and has a subtle sweet scent which isn't too overpowering and won't conflict with any perfume you spritz on during the day. A brand new product is the Body Fondant (£10.00). It looks like it should be on a classy vanity table with it's luxury powder puff, the packaging looks like it belongs in a French boutique! This is essentially a solid, creamy bronzer. This can be used on the body for a subtle shimmer, particularly good for the upcoming Summer months to give legs a bronzed glow. The packaging is super lightweight which makes it an ideal product to take with you on a Summer getaway!

Zoe's products are available in Superdrug stores, on the Superdrug website and on Feel Unique.
