Beauty Treats from London!

Sunday 5^th February 2012

Every time my Dad and his girlfriend go to London for a QVC event they always bring me back a bag of goodies!! I absolutely love it! I always get excited whenever they go. My Dad dropped off the bag yesterday and I thought I would share with you the top 3 products, in my opinion:

3. Leighton Denny – Your planet or mine?

This nail polish has purple, green and blue hues mixed through it which create an interesting effect when applying to your nails. I find this polish a breath of fresh air for this time of year as I tend to wear darker shades of plums and reds over the Christmas season, but it feels to early too earlier in the year to wear lighter shades, so this is perfect for the transition into Spring/Summer. Remember to apply a base coat first, and you may need to apply two coats to really bring out the colours!

2. Smashbox creamy lip colour – Pink Fig

I really do love Smashbox products, every product that I have of theirs is definitely good value for money! I often wear lip stick for work but throughout the day I tend to just wear lip balms as I haven’t found a good shade for daywear. This shade is spot on for leisure time as it is a nude shade of pink so it is not too over powering but gives just enough colour for your lips to ‘pop’. The pencil is very creamy and moisturising to it is easy to apply, unlike other pencils it doesn’t dry out your lips.

1. L’Occitane en Provence hand cream – Cherry Blossom

L’Occitane is number one because their cherry blossom scent is my absolute favourite! It is quite powerful but isn’t too overbearing. Their products are quite pricey but they last for a very long time as a little goes a long way. The cherry blossom hand cream keeps hands nourished and protected against cold weather and the texture is creamy without being too greasy. The cream comes in a travel size too so you can keep it in your hand bag, even if you just want to smell it again! 

Needless to say, I can not wait for my Dads next trip to London!
