Autumn/Winter Beauty Essentials | Part 1

Hey girlie's!!!

Being the Autumn/Winter lover i am i couldn't resist doing a post dedicated to some of the products that are going to be well loved by me this season. I'm going to do this post in two parts so look out for more beauty essentials coming soon. I hope you enjoy.....

Lips

Its essential to look after your lips over the colder month's as they are more prone to getting dry, flaky and chapped. Its always good to use a good lip scrub often as this will not only put some well needed moister back into your lips but it will remove any dry flaky patches and prepare a nice base for your chosen lippy, don't worry if you don't have a scrub, you can always just cover your lips in lip balm, take on an old toothbrush and gently buff over your lips, it will give you identical results as the scrub would and saves yourself buying one.

Lip balms are my best friend over Autumn/Winter, i tend to lean towards them alot more than wearing lipstick as they just feel alot more moisturising and comfortable. My favourites for this year are 'Cherry Carmex', this does an amazing job at preventing chaps and keeping my lips flake free also i love 'Maybelline's Baby Lips in Cherry Me' this not only moisturises but leaves you with a nice glossy tint to the lips too. Even though like i said I'm not huge lipstick wearer during Autumn/Winter i still do need the go to shade that i can use when i want a pop of colour, I've chosen 'MUA Shade 1', its a gorgeous berry shade that's perfect for evenings out or to wear during the day if your makeups quite natural looking.

Nails 

Barry M Nail Paint in '273 Raspberry' is one of my all time favourite nail polish shades, its just so gorgeous. Its a plain berry red shade perfect for Autumn and great over the festive season with a nice glitzy top coat. I'm also quite partial to Barry M's Mushroom shade, its a nice neutral brown/taupe that seems to go with everything through Autumn time!!!

Hair & Body

Its strange to think that the cold weather can damage your hair, but the truth be known it can, the cold air dehydrates your hair which can leave it brittle, frizzy and unmanageable so its best to give your hair a little treat every now and then. I was recently introduced to Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil, its a multi purpose oil but my favourite way to use it is on my locks, i simply put around 2 pumps worth in my hands, run it through the mid lengths of my hair, leave it for around 10 minutes and then shampoo out with my normal shampoo, it couldn't be easier and afterwards your left with soft healthier looking hair.

The colder climate can also take its tole on our skin, i always notice my skin gets quite dry and rough when its cold so a nice thick creamy moisturiser is essential!!! My favourite is 'Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter', its so thick like a body butter yet creamy and just melts into your skin, it also smells amazing and you'll notice an improvement almost instantly.

So that's part one of my Autumn/Winter Beauty Essentials, pert two will be up soon.

What are your Autumn/Winter beauty essentials??? Id love to know!!!

Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Ive recently been trying out the Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil so i thought id share with you all my thoughts on the brand and the product....

Eden Organic Care is a company which supply 100% organic products for hair and skin, as i said I've been road testing their Avocado Oil which is 100% organic and contains nothing but 100% unrefined avocado oil, amazing!!!!! Avocado oil is highly valued for its regenerative and moisturising properties and is loaded with a variety of nutrients. The oil contains high levels of antioxidants, is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, protein, lecithin and fatty acids. With all of that goodness combined it means this avocado oil is perfect for.....

Hair

▪ Improving split ends.
▪ Restoring the hairs natural shine.
▪ Improving the appearance of dry and damaged hair.
▪ Increases that softness and silkiness we all love.
▪ Improves a dry scalp and dandruff.

Skin

▪ Treating lines and wrinkles.
▪ People suffering from eczema or psoriasis.
▪ Treating sun damaged skin.
▪ Due to its moisturising and nourishing qualities, its the ideal product for use in luxury aromatherapy massages.

The oil itself comes out like a yellowish/green colour, there is an ever so slight nutty smell to the oil but very light, nothing over powering or horrible smelling.

I have to admit my favourite way to use this avocado oil is on my hair, I've noticed such a difference. Ive been growing my hair out for quite some time and i do find the lengths of my hair get very dry at times. I simply pump around 2 pumps worth of the oil into my hands then work it through the mid length's of my hair, you can massage it from the roots if you like but if prefer just to use it on the mid lengths, i then leave it for about 10 minuetes and shampoo out with my normal shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling so super soft, healthier and shiny, i love it!!!

I've also found this works really well as a cuticle oil, i have extremely dry cuticles, even when I've had my nails done in salons they always say to me how dry my cuticles are and since using the avocado oil I've noticed a huge improvement. I'm not a lover of using oils on my body but i have given it a whirl, if you suffer from dry knee's and elbows like me your going to love this, it doesn't take too long to soak into the skin, id say a couple of minuetes or so and doesn't leave a slick oily residue like i thought it would, its just majorly moisturising and i felt the benefits almost instantly.  

The Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil costs £14.99 for a 100ml bottle, i can see this oil lasting me a super long time as a little really does go a very long way with. The bottle also has a pump dispenser too making it easy to use, i hate those awful pipits you usually get with oils so that's great for me. Overall i do really like using this oil for lots of different things, mainly on my hair as it just works wonders but its nice to have the option of using this on my body too.

Have you used avocado oil??? What did you think???
