Product review – L’Occitane Almond Shaping Delight

I think everyone who reads my blog knows I love L’Occitane products.
I have recently been hooked on their foot cream (it’s actually incredible- my feet have never felt so soft and moisturised) and now I am hooked on their shaping delight body moisturiser.

L’Occitane have captured the firming properties of almond with this formula, concentrated in powerful natural active ingredients. The fresh gel includes a network of almond proteins, combined with a tightening almond extract and silicium derivative, which support the skin’s surface to sculpt and tone. This patented complex has slimming properties that reduce the appearance of cellulite, leaving the skin firmer and smoother. A second patented complex of almond tree buds and rose buds helps to visibly refine the body’s silhouette. Almond Shaping Delight instantly melts into the skin, leaving behind the delicious fragrance of almond trees.

So… It smells like an absolute dream, all beautiful and almondy. It’s delicious!
It glides over the skin and soaks in really fast and leaves my skin really soft and moisturised. I love it because I can put it on my skin and then I can put tights on really soon after without it feeling sticky. It soaks in so fast!
My skin feels really soft, and smooth and I feel like my cellulite looks a whole lot better and my legs, buttocks and tummy look a whole lot better in terms of smoothness shape.
Yep! I love L’Occitane!

Paul and Joe lipstick love!

I have always been big into red lipsticks, I have bought so many in my time. I have tried everything from high-street to high-end, new brands to heritage brands. You name it, I have probably tried it!
So recently I have been rocking red (shade 304) lipstick by Paul & Joe. It comes as a separate case and lipstick refill, so you can choose your colour and then choose your case, which is fun, as its more interactive. The case and the lipstick comes to about the same price as a good lipstick, so I don’t think it’s any more expensive, just more fun!
I chose a beautiful vintage style case, it’s so pretty, and then the lipstick refill just clicks in. You can of course buy a new refill when you use the lipstick up.
I absolutely adore the red, it’s a beautiful, bright, true red. It’s really stunning, it applies really nicely and the colour is really pretty and really flattering. It makes my lips look fuller rather than thinner.
It is unscented, it is moisturising without being too glossy or matt. It lasts really well and wears off nicely.
While this is a lovely lipstick, which is a great texture and formula, the thing I love about the lipstick the most is the shade. It’s just beautiful!
If you haven’t tried Paul & Joe make up before, maybe you should… It’s great!

Current favourite eyeliner

I have been trying to soften my make up slightly for summer. I always feel I look best with 50s eyeliner, pale skin and red lips. But in the summer, it can be a hard look to rock, so I’m trying to soften it all, just a little!
So I’m still using eyeliner with flicks on my top lid, but instead of using a liquid liner, I am using an eyeliner pencil. It’s just a slightly soft look, while still giving my eyes the definition I need.
I love love love this Liz Earle eyeliner.
It glides on so softly and easily, but gives a good black solid line, which can be blended and softened if you need.
It lasts really well, it actually does last all day long. It’s actually the best eyeliner pencil I have ever used, it’s pretty much perfect!
