Pep Up Your Winter Skin


Happy Sunday everyone! Today has been wet & dreary, and I'm ill as well, and this has got me thinking about my skin and skincare routine. Winter is notoriously harsh on skin, and even worse on already dry skin such as mine. 
Changing weather, the cold, heating, illness - these all contribute to wrecking my skin, by drying it out more, congesting it and breaking it out. However this year I have found a few great ways of pepping my skin up, and I want to share them with you!

A Little Boots Haul // Video



So I have recently accumulated enough little bits and bobs from my favourite place on earth, Boots! A little fact for you, I live in Nottingham, where Boots originates from. Maybe that's why I love it so much? Maybe?  Hahaha. Anyways I only have a few things, but I couldn't resist showing you all because I am super excited by my purchases, specifically the Bumble & Bumble Tonic Lotion (and all the free samples I was given by Bumble & Bumble!!) On boots.com this detangler / leave-in conditioner is described as good for anyone with  "dry, coarse, porous or coloured hair", and that is me! So I am hoping this will work wonders. I usually go for an Aussie leave-in conditioner, but I have wanted to try out Bumble & Bumble for a long while, and as I couldn't find products that I really wanted on the 3 for 2 offer, I thought I would splash out a little bit on this instead!

I also am running dangerously low on shampoo and conditioner at the mo, and whilst this is a really boring and mundane purchase, I thought I would include it as I bought the Aussie Frizz Miracle ones, which is a duo I haven't seen before from Aussie, and therefore haven't tried it out yet! As an Aussie worshiper I feel it is my duty. I am yet to try them out, but I can tell you that they smell incredible.

Also, I picked up the Lee Stafford As Ruff As You Like styling clay, because I am trying to be more adventurous with my hair styling, and I thought a clay might define my hair more, and make it look less... fluffy and not done. I went with this clay because I love other products from Lee Stafford, and I think it is very affordable for the quality! I don't know whether it will work with my hair type and length, but hey ho! You've gots to try these things in life!

Finally I bought the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless mascara. Now I know you probably think I am obsessed with mascaras (and you are probably right there) but I have heard epic things about this new release, and so far have not been disappointed. In fact I wore it all yesterday and had many many comments on my lashes. Coincidence? I think not ;) Anyway I am going to do a full review of this soon so won't go into too much detail, but yeah I love it!

So that is all, I will see you soooooon! :D x
