a naughty swan: beauty

Revolution of the Liquid Matte

11:52

So I haven't been here in quite a while, its not that I've fallen out of love with blogging, I just struggled feeling inspired or motivated although I'm pretty sure almost every blogger has been stuck in that rut. But after some me time and being out in the world without spending my days not looking through a lens or screen, I'm back! Now for a post about something I've been doing a lot of... pampering.

Here are some products that I have been loving lately for my annual Pamper Evenings.

Hair Care

Lush H'suan Wen Hua Hair Mask

I'll be honest... this stuff stinks. BUT however it works wonders on my hair and has lasted so long to say how long my hair is.

Bleach London Silver Shampoo

I use this every time I wash my hair opposed to only once per week as I do like my hair on the purple spectrum, and compared to the previous silver shampoo I used to use (Provoke), this is amazing! It doesn't make my hair dry like some others and it seems to process pretty quick too.

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner

Aussie products always win me over, they smell so summery and leave my hair super soft!

Garnier Ultimate Blends | The Marvellous Transformer Collection*

This trio was sent from heaven, my hair is usually so dry and has no glossy shine to it but after using these my hair looks and feels so much healthier! I start by using the shampoo then the conditioner and then apply the moisture balm and leave it for around ten minutes.

Skin Care

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter

I'm slightly heartbroken because I've almost used the whole tub, its smells lovely and my skin feels like pure silk after using it.

The Body Shop Seaweed Oil Balancing Clay Mask

This face mask makes my skin feel so fresh and it smells so clean. Whenever I'm having a rather bad breakout or if my skin is just pretty oily I'll apply this to those areas and leave for five to seven minutes. I love this stuff.

The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask

I'm sure most beauty guru's know what this godly substance is... I apply this at the same time as the Clay Mask but in all of the other areas. Always repurchase.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisturizer

I use this everyday, on makeup days and non-makeup days, It smells lovely and I've seen such a huge difference in my skin since I started using it before Christmas!

The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil

I only use this when my skin is going through a dry spell, which isn't often but when it does its almost impossible to wear makeup because it looks so dull! And this restores moisture and fixes it right up, love love love!

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleanser

I've only had this for a few weeks and I only use it once or twice a week for a deep cleanse and it literally does what it says on the pot (so cliche i know). It feels so luxurious on the skin and makes removing makeup so easy!

Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity Facial Wash

Not only does it look pretty, it smells is and feels great on my skin too, I use this maybe three times a week then the rest of the week I exfoliate, works wonders.

Dirty Works Buttery Salt Scrub

I normally use a sugar scrub but for a heavier exfoliation I sometimes go in with a salt scrub and when i do I use this, It smells edible and makes my skin feel great, I think I might even prefer this over the Soap & Glory scrubs...

Coco Loco 100% Raw Coconut Oil

A favorite skin care products post wouldn't be complete without the infamous coconut oil. The amount of things you can use this for is ridiculous. I use this in the shower after exfoliating as a shaving oil, to whiten my teeth, as a foot treatment and also a tiny bit in the ends of my hair. It pretty much fixes everything.
