September 2014 Favourites Round-Up

September Favourites and Round-up of make-up and skincare I have been enjoying using this month.

Sanctuary New Wonder Oil Serum

With the weather now turning to Autumn, I find myself reaching for oils to use on my face. 

This new product from Sanctuary Spa is a Serum and an oil in one bottle!

Lovely to apply, smells nice and more importantly I notice the difference on my skin when I wake up the next morning.

My detailed review is here

MAC Electric Cool 'Superwatt' Eye-Shadow

from 

MAC's A Novel Romance Collection

(September 2014)

A lovely neutral taupe-y-beige with a slight shimmer to it. Lovely to apply, works best when applied with finger tips. A fantastic swipe and go, similar to the Maybelline Colour tattoos. Stays put all day and on me doesn't crease.

Soap and Glory Super Cat 'FAT' Eye-liner.

Have enjoyed using this eye-liner, easy to use and stays put. 

Creates a dark black line! Perfect to define those upper lashes.

Fresh Sugar Lip Balms have been gracing my lips frequently this month .... 

Both the 'Rose' 'Tulip' and the lip treatment balm at night. Delicious lemon sugar scented balms. The rose and the tulip add just a nice pop of colour whilst hydrating and moisturising the lips.

Weleda Akendoron

This has really helped my blemish prone skin, especially around my chin area. Has helped to clear up and dry up the majority of my spots. Will be continuing to use this before bed to prevent and clear up some more pesky blemishes.

Indeed Hydraluron Moisture Jelly

I know this featured in my August Round-Up but still absolutely loving using this amazing moisturising jelly. Does a really good job of hydrating without feeling sticky and heavy.

My review is here if you want to know more!

Non Beauty Related.... Whittards Dreamtime tea.

A lovely and refreshing drink, nice to have before bed. Honey, apricot and vanilla help you to unwind. Delicious!

Epsom salts

With starting my training towards my 5km in Nov. To say my muscles have been aching is somewhat an under-statement!! I have been enjoying epsom salt baths ... which are amazing and really do help ease the pain!! Not neccesarily straight away, but i do definitely notice a difference the next day.

How to have an Epsom Salts Bath and other uses can be found over on my in-depth post.

So there you have it my September Favourites Round-Up. 
Products i've been loving and using all month!

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.

Indeed Hydraluron Jelly Moisturiser Review

Indeed

 Hydraluron Moisture Jelly

I had a small tube of the original Hydraluron serum which I used up. 

Saw this was new plus a third off in Boots so thought i'd give it a try.

First of all: Hydraluron by Indeed Laboratories is a moisturising serum that contains Hyaluronic acid.

This is an incredibly hydrating ingredient that can hold 1,000 times its weight in water.

It helps to plump up the skin, nourish and hydrate. 

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the dermis. It acts like a sponge by absorbing and trapping water. Its quantity and quality decrease with age which is why the majority of wrinkle filling products contain hyaluronic acid.

So onto the new moisture 'Jelly' version.....

What it is.....

A clear 'jelly like' daily moisturiser. Great to use both morning and night.

It's suitable for all skin types, is lovely and hydrating to slather on. Skin definitely feels smoother, softer and slightly plumper.

I like how lightweight it is and doesn't feel gloopy or sticky. 

You can apply your foundation afterwards and doesn't feel greasy.

I just love how the pump action works on the pot. Have to say it did take me a short while to figure out what i was supposed to do!! Eventually I figured out that it presses nicely into your palm to dispense the jelly to use. Such a great novel idea and is much more hygienic than sticking your fingers into a pot!

A you can see it's a gel like consistency that sinks nicely into the skin without feeling sticky or greasy.

Have you tried the new 'jelly' version of Hydraluron?

 Highly recommend it as it's a lovely hydrating and refreshing drink of water for the skin.

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.
