Friday's Favourites

Hi Beauties!


So sorry for the quietness this week. I have been battling the flu and was so sick that even a Chanel lipstick couldn't make me feel better!! Yep, it was that bad. But I am on the mend (minus my poor nose which makes me look like a clown!). 


So here are my favourites for the week...


What I'm wearing...


Mostly my PJs or most comfiest but least attractive "lounging around the house" clothes!


I'm actually quite surprised that my skin hasn't gone mental from being sick. Normally it breaks out and becomes really rough and splotchy. I think it's a mixture of my Nude By Nature Super Anti-Oxidant Foaming Cleanser, Eau Thermale Avene Spring Water and Sukin Rosehip Oil. All of these products are gentle and calming on the skin. I've used the Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant twice this week. As my skin was feeling sensitive, I decided to use this instead of a normal exfoliant as I was worried it would be too grainy and harsh on my skin. My 1 Skin Solution Vanilla Lip Balm has been my lip savoir this week. I tried other lip balms this week (because they were closer) but they didn't hydrate my lips for longer than 15 minutes. But even though my 1 solutions lip balm was in a different part of the house, it was worth the walk up the stairs for moisturised lips!


This week I've been skipping blush because my cheeks have a bit of a red "glow" to it. But once my cheeks have settled down I'll be using my new MeMeMe Blush Me Blush Box in "Pink". Its such a gorgeous pink! 


Things I'm lusting for...

Besides being better, I am IN LOVE with Marc Jacobs new perfume, Dot. It's just so gorgeous!! Almost too gorgeous to use! I can't wait until it's released. I love Marc Jacobs perfumes and I'm sure this one will be incredible too. 


Blogs or Blog Posts I've loved so much I've read more than once...


I loved Miss V's post on fringes. I love the idea of having a fringe, but in reality it's such a pain for me. I hate blow drying it and trying to tame it. But ALWAYS when I get a fringe cut I think I'll become some gorgeous goddess that has perfect hair. Then it's cut and I hate it because I can't be bothered putting in the effort. Ahhhhh what a silly life I lead ;)


I love finding out what products people use on a day to day basis and loved reading about Kimberley's Basic Skincare Routine. When you love beauty, you try A LOT of products, but I love hearing about the ones that make the daily cut. She also loves the Avene Thermal Spring Water too!


This is a bit of an older post, but it goes to show you how harmful our beauty products can be. Samantha was in beauty torture due to a shampoo reaction. Not just a "this makes my head itchy" reaction but a "I'm about to cut off my head" feeling due to the reaction. 


I loved the Made Up Maiden's Nail Of The Day from the other week. It's sooooo sparkly and gorgeous for a dreary winters day.


On my mind...


How much of a difference a soft quality tissue makes to your red nose. I love Kleenex "Aloe Vera" Tissues. They feel like silk compared to any other tissue! 


How has your week been? I hope everyone is safe and not sick!!
