I treated myself to these 2 lovely Rosehip facial oils from @faileagscottishrosehipoil quite a bit ago. I'd been eyeing them up for quite a while as they just sounded so fab. 😍 They are handcrafted in Scotland to a traditional Scottish recipe.⁣
⁣
Their oils are lab tested, CPSR Certified, Cruelty-Free, Vegan-Friendly, and contain natural ingredients too.⁣
⁣
I got the Rosewood Hint and Mandarin Hint though they have a lot of other variations so there is something for every type of skin or needs. ⁣
⁣
'𝓔𝓪𝓬𝓱 '𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓽' 𝓲𝓼 𝓕à𝓲𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓰’𝓼 𝓞𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓗𝓲𝓹𝓞𝓲𝓵 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓪 '𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓽' 𝓸𝓯 𝓔𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓵𝓞𝓲𝓵 𝓽𝓸 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓬𝓲𝓯𝓲𝓬 & 𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓭𝓾𝓪𝓵 𝓪𝓭𝓭𝓮𝓭 𝓫𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓯𝓲𝓽𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓲𝓬𝓮.' ⁣
⁣
The oils are not coloured by the way, it's the bottles, just in case you were wondering! 😉 ⁣
⁣
I'm looking forward to incorporating them into my skincare routine, as I love using Rosehip oil, it's one of my favourites facial oils to use. It has such great benefits for the skin.⁣
⁣
Do you have a favourite facial oil?

I cannot tell you how excited I was for this collection! I have a lot of admiration and respect for both @shanedawson & @jeffreestar. 😍⁣
⁣
They are easily two of the most genuine people on YouTube in my opinion - I know a lot of people will disagree. I have loved watching the series that followed the creation of Shane's Conspiracy collection from conception to birth. It was certainly an eye opener on the beauty world. 😜⁣
⁣
I splurged on the Master Collection from @beautylish as I could spread the total over 4 payments!😍 Although I had to email them today as I noticed I am missing the shade 'Shane' from the velour liquid lipstick bundle. 😕⁣
⁣
Have you bought any of the Conspiracy Collection or do you plan to? 😊

𝓟𝓡𝓰𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓭 | I was so over the moon when I received an absolutely gorgeous package from the lovely people at @tartecosmetics a little while ago! 😍⁣
⁣
The Tartlette in Bloom Clay palette is just such a stunning neutral eyeshadow palette. You just cannot go wrong with it. A pigmented, buttery soft formula that blends effortlessly. 😀⁣
⁣
I also received two shades of the Babassu foundcealer™ Skincare Foundation. Now if you like a decent/full coverage foundation, this is definitely one you should look at. My daughter used it for her prom, along with their Shape Tape Contour Concealer & she looked flawless. It easily covered her blemishes. 😍⁣
⁣
There's a blog post in the works covering all the products I was sent, as there were quite a few, so keep your eyes peeled for that. 😉⁣
⁣
Do you use @tartecosmetics? Any products you'd recommend that I need to try? Let me know! 😀

'𝒜𝓊𝓉𝓊𝓂𝓃 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓌𝓈 𝓊𝓈 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁 𝒾𝓉 𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝑒𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝑔𝑜' - unknown | It's not always easy to let things go but sometimes it is the best thing for us to do, so we can move on with our life, unfettered. ⁣
⁣
This little beauty is a palette that I put together using eyeshadows from @makeuprevolution. I managed to get a nice balance of mattes and shimmers too. It's such a great palette for Autumn/Winter. 😍

Another #pinkwednesday and October's @joahboxx brings the pink with @sallysbox Cherry Blossom Hand Mask and the @atrueglobal @atruekorea Violet Petal Black Tea Hydrating Moisturiser. 🌸 ⁣
⁣
I've not actually tried either of these yet. Well, I have tried the moisturiser on the back of my hand and my god it smelled divine and effortlessly sunk into my skin, leaving it soft & smelling absolutely heavenly! It does have a very faint scent of tea but it's really pleasant. 😍 I cannot wait to incorporate it into my skincare routine!⁣
⁣
My hands could certainly do with the hand mask too! 😀

𝒫𝑅𝑔𝒾𝒻𝓉𝑒𝒹 | As a @swanicoco.en Swan I received this 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 and 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲l for review purposes.😊⁣
⁣
The 𝓮𝔂𝓮 𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶 I have been using for the last couple of weeks. It has a fairly thick, creamy texture but it's not heavy at all. (𝘌𝘺𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳& 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢.) I have been applying it to my under eye area & then using my @senssebeauty Eye Massager, I massage it in. They seem to be working well together. It absorbs into the delicate skin around the eye area very well. There's none of that heaviness that you can sometimes get from really rich eye creams. The skin still feels nice and hydrated though and really soft. It's too short a period to see any real results yet but I'll post again in another 4 to 6 weeks time with the final results. I am really liking it so far though. 👍😊⁣
⁣
The 𝓹𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓰𝓮𝓵 works amazingly well too. Like most peeling gels you apply to your skin and massage lightly around in circles - well, that's what I do - it will start to pill as you work it around your skin. People who think this is all dead skin will be disappointed to know it is mostly product with dead skin and dirt. Nonetheless, this peeling gel left my skin incredibly smooth and soft. It also looked brighter after use and more glowy but I would expect that as the dull dead skin has been removed. If you're wondering about the scent, it's very light and fresh. It has a fairly thin viscosity too and you can just about feel the exfoliation; it is that gentle. A definite 5/5 for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣
⁣
Do you use eye creams or peeling gels at all? 🤔😊

𝓟𝓡𝓰𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓭 | What better way to spend the cold, wet dreary Autumn nights than to have some film and feast fests! 😍 ⁣
⁣
I had to get some snacks in and I was feeling a little extravagant with these @godivauk chocolate goodies. 😊⁣
⁣
Of course, over the weekend I had to have the classic Autumnal Hocus Pocus, Harry Potter Boxset, and Moonlight - so sad it got cancelled. Oh and not forgetting Labyrinth on Sky Movies! 😀⁣
⁣
What're your favourite films or TV shows to binge on? 🤔

𝓟𝓡𝓰𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓭 | I don't splash out on perfume that often but I was kindly gifted the new Idôle scent by Lancôme. It's such a lovely fragrance and the bottle is so ultra thin that it will easily fit into a clutch or handbag. I just love the minimalist design. ⁣
⁣
The scent itself is a very sensual, modern scent with oil of Jasmine, Rose Accord and Clean Chypre Accord. 😍⁣
⁣
What's your favourite parfum to wear?

𝓟𝓡𝓰𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓭 | This @imfrom_global Rice Toner has been added into my current nighttime routine for about the last two weeks. I use it alongside another toner because well, I love toners! 😍 ⁣
⁣
This toner has 77,78% rice extract and leaves my skin looking visibly brighter and it also feels incredibly soft afterwards; it feels as smooth as silk. It also gives such a nice boost of hydration too. It doesn't really have any scent, at least I can't smell anything, so it's also great for people who are sensitive to strong scents. ⁣
⁣
This toner has really earned a place amongst my most favourite toners. 😍 ⁣
⁣
What's your favourite toner?⁣
