Beauty Essentials

**Sigh** Gone are the days where I could spend endless hours in front of the mirror doing my makeup, trying out new looks and testing their effect in enticing my man. Whilst I couldn't say that my current make up approach is minimalist, I like to think I have found a happy medium. So, like everything else in life, there are some things I love love love, especially where there is a touch of convenience mixed in with total luxury. Here are some of my favourites:

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse: Yes, I can't pronounce this either, but they just so happen to make the best beauty buy in the world. Shimmer oil, moisturiser, instant pick me up- all with a touch of jasmine infused oil. I use this for everything, especially for those beach days where I feel like a bit of sparkle to go with my smile

Lush Bath Bombs: This is perfect for those days where you need a break from nappies, teething and pureeing and all you want to do is sink into the tub with a glass of wine and some candles. The Lush brand is totally organic and the products are handmade. I love the fizz that these bombs give off, and they give me something to look forward to after another exhausting day

 Christian Dior just so happen to make the most amazing eyeshadow ever. Ever ever ever ever ever. This stuff is smooth, silky and make you look like the dramatic goddess you always wanted to be. I love every colour under the sun. Unfortunately my bank balance isn't as much of a fan

Lancome Juicy Tubes Swirl: Arghh I practically died when I came across these limited edition Juicy Tubes. These are amazing, and they are so versatile for a "pick me up" when you are on the go. As they say, the best things come in small packages
