New Additions.

I have some absolute gems to show you today, four new additions to the beauty collection. First up, from a brand that has yet to disappoint me, the Antipodes Manuka Honey Treatment mask*, a mask that has been on my wish list ever since I was introduced to this brand. For dehydrated skin it hits the spot; the nail on the head, the cherry on the cake – I don’t even liiiiike cherries. Super moisturising, but also, this is the good bit, treats any blemishes, any cheeky little spot you may have uprising. Balancing and clarifying, as well as hydrating, 100% I’m already addicted to my new twice weekly ritual. Oh my lord, the sweet, sweet smell of vanilla and honey is ridiculous. I die.

I love this next fella that much, he gets a photo all to himself. Say hello to One Love Organics Supercritical Chia*. Things would get critical if this ever ran out, I’m tellin ya now. Game changer. If you have been a reader of my blog for sometime, you will know how much I love a facial oil. This is the truth right here, this is my new favourite bar non. Move on over Nude Progenius. Yes, the smell is peculiar, it reminds me of Eve Lom Cleansing Balm, that odd dentist chair smell that you know you have to dislike but actually, you don’t mind it all that much. I have been using this for only a week, and have already seen drastic, drastic changes to my skin. Foundation, yeah I won’t be needing you for a while. ONE LOVE. p.s i sprinkle chia seeds in my food and what not, so i am double dosing, that’s allowed?

The third item on trial, is Vichy Idealia Eyes*, designed to transform the quality of the eye contour area by reducing dark circles, illuminating shadows and smoothing the over all look of fines lines and skin texture. So far, I don’t like the applicator. Totally not feeling it – what is it with designers trying to be all posh ? Just stick to what we all know works. That aside, the formula itself is a beaut. My eyes look all perky and bright and so far I am happy.

Feeding my eye shadow palette addiction is Diego Dalla Palma, a brand I had never heard of before and I believe to be available in Marks and Spencer. This stunning eye palette, the La Vie En Rose*, contains 6 highly pigmented shades, 3 matte and 3 satin. Soft hues of pink and violet, as well as dusky, darker shades. Pinks and purples make my eyes come alive, so of course, I fell completely and utterly in love with this. Ideal for both day time and evening looks, I cannot wait to play around with this some more. I will be sure to try more from this brand, their lipsticks look beautiful too.

Now to wrap up and get outside, I do love Autumn, don’t you?
