REN - CLEAN SKIN GIFT SET | MARKS & SPENCERS

Skin care is a quite a mine field wouldn't you say? We all have different skin types and some of us are allergic to certain products and knowing what to try is always hard because ALL products EVER are meant to be incredible.

I was lucky to be blessed with good skin for many years but when I moved back home for a year or so; my skin went nuts and I broke out all the time, I had eczema on my chin and dry patches every where. I also went from having an even skin tone, to having lots of redness or Rosacea if we are being fancy. Whilst at home my friend recommended I switched up my skin care routine and try some REN products. Guys, I have never looked back. A combination of REN and La Roshe Posay have worked wonders on all my skin problems and I now feel more confident than ever strutting around with a bare face.

I use REN's Hot Cloth Cleanser religiously as well as their Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream and I was genuinely excited when my best friend told me M&S were were selling 2X Hot Cloth Cleaners (mini flannels inc), 1X Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream + 1x Flash Rinse all packaged up in a gift set for a mere £20. A cleanser on its own is £16. So something that should normally cost you £51 is in fact only £20! B.A.R.G.A.I.N



Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser promises to 'purifie, decongest, gently exfoliate and remove all make-up' - In my opinion it does what it says on the tin. It has a lovely rich, creamy consistency and a lovely light rose scent. I use this at the end of the day when it's time to take off my make up and I use their lighter 'Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel for Sensitive Skin' in the morning or if I'm having a break from heavy make up.

Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream is light, creamy and it doesn't leave my skin feeling clogged up or greasy. I use this in the morning before I apply my makeup and I use RENs 'Omega 3 Supreme Skin Face Oil' in the evening before going to bed. (The Skin Face Oil isn't included in the box but I have to say, that is probably my all time face skin product EVER and combined with the hot cloth cleanser and steering clear of face wipes; it has transformed my skin!)

Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial - this is a transforming treatment that you can use every now and then and it perks your skin up, rejuvenates it and it feels like you're giving your skin such a treat! After I have used Flash Rinse my skin looks all dewy and glows!


 And Voilà - this is me without a scrap of makeup on, something I would never of shown whilst I was experiencing so many problem areas! Let me know what you think of REN products or if you think you'll give this set a go.

My Top 12 Lipsticks

A bold lip is one of my favourite things and I don't feel ready to face the day without a slick of colour on my lips.

I often get asked what my favourite brands are and seeing as I wear so many different colours, I thought I would put a post together to show you all.

Click on the lipsticks and you'll be directed to the correct website. (The only ones you cannot do this for are the Diego Dalla Palma 194 on row 2, Kiko Taupe on row 3 and Makeup Revolution Depraved on row 4)

One thing is for sure....I bloody love a selfie ;)





What do you think? What's your fave colour on me and have I tempted you to try out a new shade/brand?

REN | Liberate Your Soul Facial | Liberty

I never used to take skin care very seriously until I found beauty blogs like Caroline Hirons and The Black Pearl Blog. I now have a strict regime and my go to products are mostly from REN or La Roche Posay.

When REN contacted me and offered me the chance to go to Liberty and have one of their signature treatments, I couldn't say no! Their facials are inspired by ancestral traditions, Japanese acupressure and Swedish massage and let me tell you, that is a powerful trio!

When I first imagined a facial at Liberty, I imagined sitting in a high chair on the shop floor bearing my naked face to all the other customers but was excited to find out they have a treatment area located out of sight and it's all very private. I met Claire, who was doing my treatment for me and she welcomed me and walked me to the treatment area. They have a nice little seating area and a bathroom you can wait in/use and it was all very zen-like in there! Oh and clean! You know how I like things to be clean!!

The waiting area outside the Liberty treatment rooms
Claire walked me into the treatment room, explained what I needed to do, left me to undress (down to my underwear) and wiggle myself onto the bench. You are covered in towels and a blanket if you want one and it's all very professional and they respect your privacy. I lay on my front and then the massage/facial of dreams began!

The REN treatment room in Liberty


My back, neck and shoulders were massaged, Claire talked me through everything and made me feel at ease straight away. Once my back massage was over, I turned onto my back and Claire did my facial for me. Oh I nearly forgot, at the start she asked me about my skin type and let me know what sort of products she would use on me.

Can I just tell you... that facial was the best thing that has ever happened to me haha! I've had one in the past and was not able to relax and didn't enjoy the smell/feel of the products but I swear, I nearly fell asleep during this one! The music, Claires hands and RENs beautiful products are a winning combination. As I mentioned previously, I love REN products and they smell so amazing. They smell 'clean' if that makes any sense? I asked Claire to tell me which products she was applying and I enjoyed knowing what she was doing. During the facial, I received a fabbbulous head massage, she flexed and gently moved my feet and when it was over I could have easily rolled onto my side, pulled the blanket up and had a little power nap!

I floated out of Liberty and felt so nice and relaxed for the rest of the day! Guys, I could not recommend this enough. It would be such a nice treat and although it's £55 for a one hour treatment, that is redeemable against any products you buy from their REN counter on that day and that is so worth it!

For contact details or more info about REN at Liberty take a look here

I did my makeup later that day and it glided on and my face felt lovely and smooth and really pampered!

*My facial was a gift in exchange for a review

Smoked Chrome

Just a wee post showing the latest nail varnish to join my crew.
I have a few Estée Lauder varnishes and they are really very nice.

This particular one called 'Smoked Chrome' is so so lovely. The colour is really rich, there is a slight shimmer to it and I only needed one coat. When you apply it the varnish doesn't dry straight away giving you time to smooth over any ridges and create a nice flat finish.

Now I know that these varnishes apply so well I will definitely be buying some more shades in the future. I highly recommend these ladies! Take a look at the other colours they have here.

Not the neatest of paint jobs but it'll do! 


What do you think of this colour ladies?
I loveeee nail varnishes, you can never have enough! What are your fave brands?
