My go to Clarins products

This post is based on my top 3 Clarins products that i swear by. I also love my Clarins cleansing gel which would most definitely be in my top 3 but i had written about it just yesterday and
didn't want to bore you speaking about it again. Instead these are a few of my other favorites.
 
Ill start off with this product as it is the one i use the most.
This is the Clarins Blush Prodige illuminating cheek colour in Rose Wood. It is £26.00 and one of the only blushers i have fallen in love with aswell as a benefit one (but thats another post!). It is such a lovely pallette of colours that when you swirl your blusher brush over all of them you get a natural peachy pink colour to add to your cheeks. It is gorgeous and i swear by it.
This is what the website says about this product
'A silky, lightweight powder blush containing the perfect combination of mineral and plant extracts. Adds colour and luminosity to cheeks for an instant, healthy-looking glow. The stunning mosaic palette contains different shades and finishes, enabling you to illuminate your complexion and enhance its natural radiance and beauty.'
I really like this product as i am quite picky with blushers and bronzers. This is not harsh on my face as i am quite pale and compliments my complexion rather than making me look like a drag queen!
 
 
This product is very oily and i wouldn't recommend it to people who get spots easily because of its texture. This is the Lotus face treatment oil and costs £32.00
The Clarins website says 
'Naturally astringent for Oily or Combination Skin. 100% pure plant extracts. Clarins’ exclusive blend of Rosemary, Geranium and Lotus extracts purifies, tightens pores and refines the skin texture. Hazelnut Oil softens, soothes and seals in moisture to prevent fine lines.'
I bought this product a while back to help keep moisture in my face and also says it is to help prevent premature aging (which is not the reason why i bought this product!). I use it alongside my toner in the image below which is what is advised on the Clarins website. Here is the video on the website and these are the exact steps i follow!
I really like this product and don't mind paying quite an expensive price for it as i have had this small bottle for ages and it doesn't seem to have gone down much at all. I know it will last me ages!
I don't use the the Lotus oil everynight because i don't feel i need to. When i don't i simply use  the Toning lotion with camomile which is £19.00.  
Clarins says
'Alcohol-free toner—with gentle Camomile, Alpine Herbs, and Linden extracts—removes every last trace of cleanser, leaving dry or normal skin clean and perfectly radiant. Softens, soothes and smoothes irritations. Also, preps skin for the Clarins treatments that follows.'
I apply it by dampening 2 cotton pads with the lotion and rub it around my face focusing around my eyes. This is such a soothing product which i adore and will keep on using until i can find a substitute that matches the quality of this product.
 
 
Thank you for reading this and i hope it inspires you to buy these amazzzing products!

Home decoration haul

 So over the last few months i've been collecting some nicky nacky bits that just make my room have so much character and look adorable. This is one of my favs because it's something my best friend bought me and it is an own that holds a candle and has a chain so you can have it hanging! YES it may be dangerous because it could fall or if placed in your room badly it could cause a fire so i just dont light. Instead i use a battery powered candle tealight to just sit inside so it still looks super cute (kind of cheating i know).


This is quite a typical sign you see but i still think it is adorable.I have a shelf in my room that i use to put pictures and presents from my boyfriend on and this fits in perfectly with it. On the same shelf i have the love dangly sign thing in my bottom image :)
 
Obviously i am a yankee candle freeak and had to feature it in this haul. This specific one is called 'Summer Scoop' and oh my god i recommend it! Seriously it smells devine and you will thank me later. They can be quite pricey i think this one cost around £20-£24 but they last so long as i have another one slightly smaller than this and i've had it since last christmas. I think the colour is really cute aswell and gives my room a bit more of a girly feel.


So aswell as the products i have spoken about above here are some other i have purchased. These vary from different shops such as The Range, John Lewis and a small vintage shop in hunstanton that i adore. My nan showed me the little jewlerry holder when in hunstanton and i bought it straight away. Hanging off of it is a little sign that says 'Home is where the cat is' and for anyone who knows me, knows this fits me to a T. There is also a little wicker heart that hangs from wardrobe usually and that is from John Lewis as well as the wicker lights in the background that are feautred in each of the images.
 
Leave some comments telling me where else i can buy some of these adorbale products from please!
Thanks all
