Mosturising body and lip prouducts.

My mum has always taught me the key to healthy looking skin is to moisturise every day head to toe ..but sometimes you just can be bothered .
Shopping with my mum we ventured into the beauty section if you like of marks and Spencer,I was amazed. I wanted a body moisturiser that was actually moisturising ,not greasy and something that didn't leave your clothes sticking to you after application,who would of thought this all lies in the marks and Spencer body butter.


These body butters smell so amazing you really do want to eat them ,it also really encourages you to use them every day.If you don't like strong, highly scented products then these are NOT for you .

originally i bought lemon as you can see nearly all gone ,but this is over about 4 months of use every day so not bad at all.


Being the obsessive cosmetic person I am I them when back and bought passion fruit and shea nut butter both of these are my new favourites .













In the same range I also bought a lip balm in passion fruit and again I only have good things to say about it . I use it as a base before lipstick and lip gloss and really helps the product to stay on .
Overall my 5 key points of the body butters
+ smells incredible

+Non greasy

+great for pre fake tan moisturising

+low cost and long lasting ( I know that's 2 points)

+Only negative is if you don't use the product for a while you need to shake it before use.


Tell me if you have any other suggestions for me to try.

New Foundation


I try to keep my posts short and sweet so hear goes .

I wanted a foundation which wasn't too heavy and thick .
This foundation has a light even coverage,but it won't hide flaws such as redness and dreaded spots which most of us have,so a concealer is necessary i feel.My freckles still show through which isn't a bad thing if you are looking for that natural look.

Its not difficult to blend i used a MAC foundation brush in circular motions i find this works better for no brush lines.

How long does it last ??

Well i would say a generous coat will last you until you get home from work (5pm),however i wouldn't recommend this foundation if you have a active job where you are hot and bothered ,because it won't stay on ,but i think this is the case for most foundations ...well the ones iv tried anyways(that's a lot).

The shade i am using is 04 nude glow and has a golden shimmery undertone to it which i don't think you will get with off the shelf foundations(Revlon,l'Oreal,Max factor)and for once this foundation doesn't make me look orange or ghostly.

The finish is slightly dewy which i like if a foundation is too Matt especially with mineralised foundations i feel they look to fake and dry.

Now for the price tag...
Its £20 so i am using this very sparingly...maybe clinique would like to send me a batch for giving it a mention : ) don't think that will happen somehow.
So overall a very good light,dewy coverage great if your looking to try something new and treat yourself - go on you deserve it.
