Winter skin savers

So my lips have been badly dry chapped & peeling but I've found two products that have really saved them, a primark vanilla Caramel lip balm & Palmers dark chocolate & mint lip balm. Both in just a 7 hours with repeated application alternating between the two, my lips appear to be softer & smoother, no cracks or peeling.


Moving on I've had a few spots try &  appear on my face around my chin in the past two weeks. Before the bright red spots could pop out & cause greif with them being covered by concealer amongst other things I'd use an exfoliator sample I got out my boots no7 advent calendar.


This little beaut has saved me the trouble just this & my nip+fab glycolic fix cleanser which I've been using for 2 years. I haven't used a face mask in weeks due to my favourite not being on offer. This stuff is creamy & doesn't dry out my already dry sensitive skin. I will be purchasing the full size in the new year when this sample size runs out.

Now on to moisturisers as I said I have dry sensitive skin I've found a serum I use right after I cleanse & exfoliate it doesn't cost a bomb either. From the superdrug vitamin E range.


This is light & quiet moisturising, it costs just £3.99 this is much better than the one from their simply pure range coming in at £2.69 it did nothing for my skin. My night cream I'm not sure how much it cost my mom picked it up in aldi so I'd say around £5 if not less. It's lovely & thick, I put it on before I get into bed.


I'm not one for spending loads on expensive stuff I'd much rather stick with things under £10 if you look in the right place you can always get a good deal.

The boots No.7 advent calendar

I brought it online & even though I'm only on day 10 I love everything I have so far. I brought it to try some new things & no.7. My best friend nat isn't one for Christmas and all the joys of it hence why she brought it & opened it all on the same day. She loved everything but like me so far, I've had trouble getting a few of the products out an eye-shadow, lip gloss & nail polish, I had to practically fight with the box to get these things out. I broke a nail not good :( takes ages for mine to grow.

All in all I'd buy it again next year. £38 for 25 days. That's a good deal in my book.

Storage

IKEA set of 6 draws I don't have much make up but needed a decent easy way to store my make up.
These cost me £15 I painted them they were unpainted when I got them.



My collection isn't very big but this keeps it all organised. It's simple & easy to paint or decorate however you wish, draws are quite deep & a much better option than those acrylic draws. IKEA do a smaller 4 draw for £10 & a bigger one with 2 draws at the top, 3 in the middle & a large draw at the bottom for £18.


This wooden box was £5 I use it to keep things I most often reach for. My computer is in my room so ile watch Netflix while I take off my nail polish, or YouTube if I'm drying my hair.
