Night time winter skin routine

This is a short and sweet post about how my nighttime skincare routine has changed since the weather has turned significantly colder. I have quite dry skin anyway so winter can literally make my skin flake off my face. At the moment each night i get home from work im taking my make up off and lathering up in cocoa butter. While i appreciate this is far too greasy for most skin types it literally saves mine. Also the new eyslix cream im using...anti wrinkle eye cream. So far so good, i will write an in depth review soon.

Gold accessories

I'm totally loving gold right now so sharing a picture with you of my Michael Kors MK5055 watch layered with a bracelet by 'Farah'. Gold + Layered is a winner for me this Autumn. I love wearing this huge watch with pretty dresses just to give it that slight edge.

Red nails

Just had my nails done in this beautiful red! Perfect for autumn. It's by a brand called BF (didnt look at the colour name unfortunately).
What Autumn colours are you guys loving right now?

Instant Eye Rescue Cream

Beauty related yes....but not a usual purchase for me. I'm only 27 but I can see tiny fine lines creeping in around my eyes and I can't stand them! Probably as concealer loves to settle into them...nothing irritates me more. So drastic action needed:) I saw this new cream in Boots by eysilix. It is making some pretty huge promises...the before and after lady was 70! So I'm thinking my little lines should be easy peasy. Ill be using this every single night for at least 2 weeks before reporting back.

Nail crazy?!

Ok so just lately I've been buying a fair few nail colours!
Below w7. These cost £1.49 from a bargain shop and look suspiciously like OPI. The quality is fab too.



Glitter crazy! Perfect for Christmas. The gold is just beautiful. All from Avon.



Also another Avon beauty in 'Tweed' the perfect Autumn colour.

YSL Pure Chromatics

Wow wow! The magpie in me saw 'shiny' and couldn't resist:)




The Pure Chromatics Quad




Swatched




Beautiful....
I haven't actually worn these yet but I will literally tomorrow....and be reporting back:) I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous photos now!x

Laura Mercier Primer Review

It's been a while since my last primer review and that's probably because I haven't been switching from one to the next as quickly these days. I purchased the Laura Mercier radiance primer a few months ago and have been using it daily. At first I'm not going to lie I wasn't all that impressed. It's a lot more watery than any other primer and I was unsure if it was any more than a shimmer cream.




I've been using it everyday and I'm 3/4 of the way through the bottle now. I love it! Yes while it is thin it does provide a good "day face base" for make up. It gives a pretty healthy glow to the skin.




I think however if your going to consider using this then it's best for normal to dry skin and preferably blemish free. Some primers such as No7 Airbrush Away seem to help cover blemishes slightly but this Laura Mercier one doesn't. I purchased mine from Space N.K and while I will repurchase if your thinking about it id try it in store first.
