You are a good reason to be happy

Picked this up from Zara 3 weeks ago! I Love the faux leather detailing on the sleeves. Plus lovely little sentence on the back!

 ' You are a good reason to be happy '

I like that you can only see the positive, motivating sentence when your hair is in a ponytail / bun or pinned to the side. This shirt is just perfect for everyday. I tend to wear it when I am not going out but don't want to look like a disaster in case any visitors/friends come over. You could also wear this 'article of clothing' to a friends house, or just any other casual event. 

You can pick it up at Zara at the moment if you are interested.

Soap and Glory - Face Soap & Clarity

Before I started using this product I must have been living under a rock, or in some kind of cave. But I am proud to announce that I crawled out. Well, it looks like the heavens have finally opened up and answered my prayers! Imagine a face wash and cleanser all in one product that leaves your skin so darn soft and clean that you can feel and see results instantly. Add a lovely plumy smell and some soft exfoliating beads which give your mind and your skin a great wake-up-call in the morning. 

What is this all-in-one miracle you ask?

Soap and Glory's Face Soap & Clarity 3-in-1 Daily Facial Wash of course. 

This has lived up to the hype, unlike most blogging favourites. The Soap & Glory face soap & clarity, foaming face wash, is by far one of the best products I've used in a long time.

I never had problems with my skin, never broke out just had a few spots on my nose or forehead once in a while. But never the less I wanted my skin to look fresh, clean and young. This is why I marched into my local drugstore to pick up this fantastic soap. I used it the same day and saw results instantly. The pores around my nose appeared smaller, my skin felt fresh and clean, and the soft beads massaged my skin and gave it a healthy, beautiful glow. The fresh smell of this product was to die for, and woke me up like no other face wash. I now use it every morning, and I think my skin is addicted.

On my nose my skin is a little oily but the rest of my face is rather dry. No problem for this all-in-one miracle. It gets rid of the oil and is gentle to your dry skin areas. Once you own this product you can throw out all the other soaps and cleansers that are sitting in your bathroom, because this foaming face wash works beautifully on every skin and will do the job, I guarantee.
The Face Soap is really easy to use, as it is a gel formula with little pink micro beads to gently exfoliate your skin, and it didn't take too long to work into a lather. (foolproof!)

And another amazing thing about this product: You will get 150ml/ 5 FL.OZ for £7.00 / 16$ so it will hardly break the bank.

 Clarity, is a non drying foaming facial wash with Superfruit Plum, skin brightening complex. Has this worked for me? Oh hell yeah!

MAC cosmetics - Hue Lipstick

   

Today I went through my make up draw and I found one of my much loved lipsticks by mac cosmetics. 

Hue. 

I discovered this colour a while ago when I saw many YouTubers talking about this beauty! Gorgeous colour, its a pale soft pinky nude and you can wear this day and night. I looks stunning with a smokey eye or with a natural day make up. Sometimes I even pile on this lipstick if I just want to have a soft nude colour on my lips without wearing any other makeup. I don't know how you feel about mac lipsticks but I find they smell delicious and just mmmm.... yummy! The formula of this lipstick is lovely and creamy on my dry lips and applies nicely over the Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm (Blog post). The colour keeps well, and looks fabulous on pale, neutral-toned skin. The glaze finish also gives it a nice sheen without being overpoweringly shiny. It does require a few touch-ups throughout the day but a little concealer or lip liner underneath helps it to last longer. However if you have pigmented lips, Hue may not work well for you. Also during winter when your lips are not looking their best Hue will show every little wrinkle on your lips. Exfoliating your lips will prevent your lips from looking unhealthy and this little trick will make this lipstick work also during the colder months of the year. A major plus for me is the fact that I don't need a mirror to apply this colour. This makes it easy to carry it in your handbag and apply it when ever where ever you need it. 

I can't say enough good things about Hue, its a MUST HAVE! I adore this lipstick and can totaly see the hype. Sometimes I even prefere this over my also well loved Creme de' nude. 
This Lipstick retails for 15$ and you can buy it in a mac store or online.

If you are looking for a nice nude colour that doesn't wash you out, please make your way into your favourite mac store or counter and try this one out. However swatches on the back of your hand may look like a sheer gloss and are not true to the colour on your lips. 


I hope this post was helpful :) Please let me know what your favourite nude lipstick is!
