Beauty products I couldn't survive without!

Here are some of the products that I use on a very regular basis, that I feel do a tremendous job of making me feel good. Some of them feel more necessary than others and some are in here because they are just my favorites! Also I may have mentioned some of them in previous posts!

So here goes:

Dirty Works You Soft Touch Hand cream

This product is a must have for me, it is by far one of the best hand creams I have EVER used, It smells gorgeous and your hands smell lush until you next wash them, it leaves them feeling soft but not greasy, its brilliant value at only £1.20 in Sainsburys. It claims to be an intensive moisturiser and contains Cocoa butter and Jojoba Oil, I just love this product and will definitely be re-purchasing!

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I put my love of this product down to the fact that I am a Mum and though I do wash my hair every other day, sometimes if we are going to a playgroup or we need to be ready in next to no time it is just so handy to put some dry shampoo on my hair, rub it in and voila - my hair looks and smells like its just been washed! I have tried a few different dry shampoos recently but the Batiste range is by far the best! Even though I have dark hair I never feel like it looks obvious that I have used dry shampoo and more importantly doesn't look like I have used talc either! I have the Original and the Tropical and I must say I don't love the smell of the Original one but it does the job! The Tropical on the other hand smells divine, I love anything Coconut and so for me this is a real winner!!

Here are the 2 current Batiste products that I own

Johnson's 24 Hour Day Moisturiser

I have been using a few moisturisers recently but have found this one the best, It is a day moisturiser so I usually use it after cleansing my face in the mornings before applying any makeup. With the hot weather that we have been having lately, there were a few days where I didn't want to wear any makeup and so this moisturiser was just perfect. It doesn't feel greasy on the skin at all and just left my skin feeling very soft and moisturised. It has an SPF of 15 too, which meant I knew I wasn't going to end up with unsightly red patches of sunburn on my face! An all round brilliant product and well worth the money!


Dirty Works Bye Bye Dark Circles

This is definitely a product that I can NOT live without, sleep deprivation, stress and everything else that comes with being a Mum, means that I constantly have big black bags under my eyes.

so far this is the only concealer I have found that actually really works! There is however a downside (or 2), it can get messy, it comes in a little pot that holds 2 shades, one dark, one light and you mix the 2 to get the shade that you feel is right, this means that the colours get all mixed up. The other downside is it is quite powdery on the skin and wipes off very easily, however I do find putting a little extra powder to set it works quite well. But the main thing is that it does a good job of covering my dark circles which is after all what it claims to do! Also another bargain at around £3/4 at Sainsburys.

I Hope you enjoyed reading this post, if there are any beauty products you feel you couldn't live without please comment and let me know!
