Although i got a few lushie presents for christmas i really couldn't resist popping down to my local on boxing day to indulge in the sale.  The store was packed, on sale was all of the christmas gift sets, products and anything made before october 2012 all at 50% off.

I decided to pick up 2 of the larger gift sets, i like the idea of these because i can get things i wouldn't usually purchase and so i can try out new things. Then i picked up a few christmas eve bubble bars, cinders, ponche shower gel, and the king of skin body butter. I also got a few sample of porridge soap too.

I've got alot of stuff to work through here, i should proberly gift some of it but i'm a little selfish.

So far i've already fallen in love with 'Dream Cream' and the Popcorn lip scrub. Yummy.

Did you manage to get anything in the Lush Sale?

Merry Christmas!

Hope you have a loverly time, Have one of these on me :)

As its turned much colder my skins been needing the extra nourishment  i've changed a few products to my usual routine - I generally try and keep it consistent as my skin will certainly tell me its fed up of swaping and changing to new products, Latley i changed a few of these items and my skins just been in terrible condition with breakouts so i've quickly reverted back to what i'm used to.

I start my morning by cleansing my face with Origins Make a Difference Cleansing Milk this is a really gentle cleanser to wash my face with its also great at breaking down any makeup too. Next i follow cleansing with Caudalie Cleansing Water, again gentle on the skin i apply to a cotton pad and give a final cleanse after finishing i spray Caudalie's Grape Water all over my face then let it absorb, this is pretty smilar to Caudalies beauty exiler but with a much lighter scent and is more moisturizing.

Next i apply Origins Vitazing, i've mentioned this on a few posts already not only do i like it as a moisturizer but that fact its aimed at waking up a morning face by adding a 'skin tint' which leaves a loverly healthy glow. I follow this with Orgins Ginzing which works fantastic paired with vitazing, i'm not usually one for eye creams as i always saw them as for older people but ginzing is great for depuffing tired eyes. Finally i apply DrJart BB cream in regenerating, this is the newest addition to my routine, i've always wanted to give DrJart ago and i choose the regenerating one as it aims to blur out any imperfections  hi i have lots of those. Lastley my lips have not been good, i think its because of going in the cold the inside in the warmth too often, so i've been using L'Occitane lip balm.

I got this enzyme gel mask to test from the Elemis Spa where i work

The enzymes help to smooth out the skins surface leaving it feel new and refreshed 

, it also helps to fight blemishes and even out the skin tone. Pretty similar to the papaya enzyme peel in which the enzyme essentially eat away at the dead skin cells to reveal newer brighter skin.

The mask applies like a gel onto cleansed skin and after a while  a tingling sensation starts to build up (nothing bad or unpleasant! ). The mask doesn't set and after removing my face just felt so fresh, infact the mask is a little strange in the fact after removing it still felt like it was there its super refreshing to the point where your face feels so chilled and cold. (this feeling was fantastic when i was full of cold and just felt like i could breathe again!)

I used this in combination with the papaya enzyme peel and i loved the results.

the tri-enzyme resurfacing mask found here - £46.00
