Catchin' Up!

Dia daoibh.

I have not been blogging as regularly as I would like for the past while. Sickness has hit me a few times; nothing serious just chest infections, problems with my asthma and a tummy bug I was hit with last week. Boo :( I feel like doing a random picture catch up blog. Here we go:

Things I'm liking!

I won this Jimmy Choo Perfume and Shower Gel set a good while ago from Andreea over at ArtDonatella and I really love it! It has quite

Dia daoibh!

Avène. Heard of it? It's a French Skincare brand highly focused and centered around Avène Thermal Spring Water and it's soothing properties.

So, if you're into your natural, soothing, dermatological goodies, this brand in particular may interest you.

I was actually sent a lip product, their  Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream Lip cream . This could not have come at a better time, (about 2 weeks ago) as the weather was cold and I myself had a touch of the flu and was feeling run down. My lips were very dry. Here it is.

Carmex Moisture Plus - Sheer Peach

Dia daoibh!

Carmex. One of, if not my favourite lip balm brands. Their newest addition is the Moisture Plus range. The packaging of these products has completely changed from the usual yellow and red to a sleeker looking nudish/silver tube. 

Some ingredients worth noting are vitamin E and aloe so it will help to nourish and moisturise lips, along with SPF15. Fragrances/shades available instore now are Clear, Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach. The two newest colours which you may or may not be able to get your hands on soon are Sheer Plum and Sheer Berry
