Argan Oil..

I feel like I may have been the last person to jump on the bandwagon here, but I absolutely love the smell of Argon Oil. I discovered it at work one day, when the very nice ladies at The Body Shop delivered us some small samples of their new Argan Oil range. I kid you not, it smelt so good that my boyfriend went out a few days later and bought the body butter. I can't even describe how nice is smells, but I now use it every day after I shower. I own quite a lot of body butters, but they have now been put on hold so I can use this. The butter is so rich and creamy, the smell literally lasts on your skin all day, which is amazing!

I originally wanted the lip balm, as I have a bad habit of constantly using lip balm, which dries them out even more! However, you apparently can't get the balm on it's own.. only in a gift set, which I think is pretty unfair really. However, because my family and friends are so kind, my boyfriends parents treated me to the Argan Oil gift set. Though I must say, know I've got it, I don't want to use it all up! I'm trying to restrict my usage to make it last as long as possible! Please tell me i'm not the only weird person that does this?

I love the fact that you also get a pretty large hand cream in the set too, which is pretty nice since the body butter is too thick for your hands. The hand cream is a lot thinner, and so a little goes a long way with it. It's also quite a nice pale orange colour, I guess it's more concentrated? Whereas, the body butter and lip balm are almost cream/yellow.

I've not tried the shower gel much yet, because of the same reason above, but it is so concentrated and strong smelling. As you can probably tell by now, my whole body smells of argan oil, I even use a shampoo with the essence. 

Does anybody else enjoy the smell, or have a similar obsession with another smell? Let me know, so I wont feel quite as bad! haha!

Simple | Revitalising Eye Roll On

If you're anything like me, you'll wake up in the morning with red, puffy eyes. I don't know why it effects me more than most, but I constantly look like I've either been crying, or skipped sleep. Now if you know me, you'll know I love my sleep, so, I don't know, maybe it's just genetic? But what I do know, is this little beauty has now found a permanent home in my make-up bag.

I originally went into boots to look for a decent concealer to cover my ridiculously puffy eyes. I've been looking everywhere for a concealer that will cover my blue veins, whilst still being able to blend in to my make-up and cover my puffy eyes... Not much then eh? In the process of searching the store for this non-existent concealer, I found a revitalising eye roll on by Simple. I use quite a few moisturisers and make-up removers by Simple, so I thought I may as well give it a go. It's such an easy process too; you roll it in circular motions under your eyes, to work the gel in. Any remaining gel should just be 'dabbed' in to your skin with your finger. I should warn you, the metal ball is extremely cold, especially when using it first thing in the morning!

The roll on is a thin gel that contains cucumber, vitamins and a lot of water! I love the fact that they use only natural ingredients, and make it clear that there are no added colours or chemicals. So even people with the most sensitive of skin can use it. At £5.49 this is an absolute bargain. I use it every day, and have had the product for around three months now, so you get a lot of use out of it too! I highly recommend this eye roll on for people that suffer with puffiness, redness or blotches around their eyes. It helps a lot to control your bags too, if used frequently.

I apologise for the badly lit photos i'll be using in the next couple of months. I'm currently living in a 'bunk-a-bin' on my uni campus, and the lighting is dreadful. Obviously, i'm in lectures throughout the day, and have to somehow work with artificial lighting in the evening, which gives off an orange glow. Annoying!!
