Fresh Skin by Elemis

Elemis has recently brought out a 'fresh skin' range aimed at teens to mid twenties. The aim of the range is to  "nurture your skin, help prevent premature ageing and brighten tired, dull and lifeless days...not to mention the effects of those late nights!"  There is a blue and pink range which has similar products aimed at different skin types; the blue is "skin clear" aimed at clearing acne and blemish prone skin.

I fell in love with the moisturizer at clothes show live in December and regret not buying as it well below the RRP. However about a month ago my mum bought me this set from feelunique.com as it was on sale for £6 (now £8, here  if anyone is interested.) 

Included in the set is: 

Elemis FreshSkin Skin Clear Mattifying Moisturiser 15ml -> aims to reduce t-zone shine within one hour and maintain and matte finish for u to 8 hours whilst help minimising blemishes.

Elemis FreshSkin Skin Clear Purifying Face Wash 30ml -> helps to refresh and clear your complexion. It has vitamin a, zinc and iris extracts. 

Elemis FreshSkin Skin Clear Purifying Face Mask 3ml -> has a balance of natural clays, goji berry extract and frankincense oil, which aims to draw out impurities and soften and soothes. 

I love these products, they have such a great smell and apply wonderfully. The moisturiser really softens my skin and last a good few hours and the face wash is really refreshing. And I can see a visible improvement in my blemishes after use. I have yet to try the face mask as I am saving that for when my skin is particularly bad. And due to the small size of the products I have only been using them when I go home from uni at weekends so as to not use them too quickly and give my skin and good deep clean and refresh when I'm not stressed about essays and lectures. 

Has anyone tried Elemis FreshSkin Range ?

What do you wanna buy in the sales ? : ) 

MUA Eyeshadow Palettes

I am not really an eyeshadow kind of person, I wear glasses so my eyes aren't really visible. But recently I've wanted to try and brighten up my eyes a bit and when I saw a review for the MUA Undressed Palette I knew I needed it. So I went into Superdrug today to purchase it and I got a free 24 shade palette (worth £8) free. 

The offer was when you spend £4 or more on Make-up Academy products the top palette was free. 

Despite there being a number of duplicates in the two palettes I loved the 'undressed' palette far too much to buy any other products instead. 

Anyone else already purchased the MUA eyeshadow palettes yet? Or thinking of purchasing them?

My Nail Polish Collection ...

I've recently organised my nail polish collection and thought I'd share my organisation skills with you all. 

This is my over-growing collection of nail polishes. The purple box which was originally a perfume box is home to my many nail polishes, the pink bag to the left contains the polishes I use most often so I can get to them easily. And the box to the right is all my stamping stuff, which I never use anymore.

 My Collection of Opi Minis. The Roxy perfume box has a magnetic nail polish in it which I bought off ebay and the gold box was a christmas present with a nails inc magnetic polish and a crackle. 

And here's everything contained in my dresser draw. 

Is anyone else this organised with nail polishes or is it just me?

  

What's in my bag ...

So I always like reading these sorts of posts, not sure why its just something that appears interesting about other people.

My bag, technically my mums but she's actually never used it. It was bought in TK-Maxx for £20 so not bad I think, its big enough to fit the daily essentials in but not too big. 

1. My ipod complete with despicable me wallpaper 2. Nica purse I purchased in Chester a few years ago which can function as a purse or a clutch depending on the occasion. 3. Ibuprofen 4. CV's as I am in desperate need of a job until I start Uni.  5. Deodorant 6. Ted Baker Body Spray  7. Car Keys complete with radley keyring  8. My blackberry which I'm hopefully getting rid of soon.  9. Hairbrush  10. Lip Balm  11. Hand and face wipes for those little emergencies     

So yeah, that was all, hope you enjoyed seeing whats in my bag :D
