J-Lo once said you have the skin you are born with until you are 20 and after that you have the skin you deserve . I am a firm, believer that a healthy balanced diet including lots of water , plus Vitamin D , exercise and sleep all play a massive part in the health of your skin but i’m also a bit of beauty product junkie -( a beauty counter sales girl’s dream – If it promises me a J-lo glow – i’m pretty much sold :-).
So here are just a few of my favourite products I’ve been loving this month – I’d love to know yours too ! – come say hi over at Facebook www.facebook.com/lilmisfit1 or tag me on Instagram @littlemisfitjojo
- Origins High Potency Night a Mins Moisturiser Since my early twenties , I have suffered with Acne flare ups so I am incredibly fussy on my skincare and need to investigate throughly and read reviews before I purchase anything!!! . I have the Origins – A perfect world age defense day mosturiser and I love that, so having done my research , I opted to go for the Night a mins oil free one. Quite a few reviews mentioned the fact that it helped reduce the appearance of acne scarring and that it contained sleep inducing aromas, and it made your skin appear brighter, ( hello J-lo glow – sold!!!!! 😄) I’ve been using it since April and it really has help reduce my acne scarring without aggravating my skin at all – a definite firm favourite.
2. OPI nail varnish. – got myself in a Jam balaya from the New Orleans range. I just always feel more polished when I have my nails done and though in Autumn/winter – I love my dark colours, I just fell in love with this peachy colour for summer and it really compliments my skin tone.
3. Michael Kors – sexy Amber perfume . I was at my God son’s birthday party recently and one of the other guests came in and she smelled gorgeous, I asked her what perfume she had on and it was this one, so I totally copied. Thanks Gemma!.
4. Super drug Coconut Ice Body Butter – I’m on my second Tub already. I got this as a gift for my birthday and it smells divine – a beach holiday in a tub!!! .
5. Christian Dior Forever foundation – again very fussy on my foundation as a few do make me break out . When I work out I opt for bare mineral foundation as I find it doesn’t block my pores. I just wanted a new one for when I go out , I have a Mac one I like but my skin is not so keen on it and I’m not sure the colour suits my skin tone now the warmer weather has arrived – well you know at least decides to put an appearance in now and then 😜. I wanted one that looked natural , stayed put and didn’t make me look orange. The sales lady in Boots ( hello advantage points – don’t you just love those ! ) was lovely and was really knowledgable and she helped me pick the right product. I originally went in for the Dior star foundation, but the lady recommended the forever one for me after asking about my skin and lifestyle . It was a great choice .
And ok so not actually a beauty product but hey taking time out to recharge the batteries is super important too so at no 6 is the Nashville Box set . I Love a good Box set marathon and having made my way through Hart of Dixe ( also brilliant!) I started on Nashville. I got season 1 for my birthday and am now up to Season 2 and loving it!!! Please no spoilers though 🤐 shhhhh.
Wishing you all a fabulous Bank Holiday weekend xxx
