The Glueless Scr4pbook.

Just a few beauty favourites from January.

1. Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder in Medium (£35)

I've been using this again recently, after testing out the Sleek Contour Kit and loving it, I kind of forgot about this but I've reached for it a lot more lately and it never fails.

2. Korres Jasmine Lip Butter (£8)

I keep this in my daily skincare drawer on my desk and I've literally been using it every day and night all month, I love that it's thick but not gooey and I also love the sweet smell.

3. Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream (£23)

4. Origins Ginzing Energy Boosting Moisturiser (£33)

After picking a sample set up in the sale I have been testing out a few of the products and these are two that I've been using consistently, they are both the perfect lightweight consistency for daytime wear, dry in quickly, feel soft and refreshing on the skin, I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up the full sized versions when these are finished.

5. Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette (£23)

For the last month I have been trying to pry myself away from the original Naked Basics palette and actually get some use out of the Naked 2 Basics, so I have been using 'Frisk' and 'Primal' everyday, either together or separately.

6. Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural (£23)

I got this little gem for Christmas and I've been using it ever since, I'm pretty sure I owned one of these back in the day but never repurchased and I hear so much about them that I needed another try and I'm loving it, it's lightweight which is great for touch ups as it doesn't cake, and mattifies without flattening.

7. Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Liner in Thrilled (£13)

I've been really into the whole ombre lip this month and I've been paring this with Macs Fleshpot Lipstick in the centre and Blankety around the edge and I love it.

8. Aesop Control Gel (£15)

I bought this just after Christmas as I'd been wanting to try it for ages and I have to say it seems to work pretty well, no miracle worker but it's strong enough to clear the area while still being gentle on the skin which is great.

Are any of these your favourites too?

Morning

In the morning I first go in with the Garnier Micellar Water to remove any oils and dirt that have built up over night, I then give a spray of my Lush Tea Tree Water just to sooth any redness and my skin in general, for bad skin days I will then dab some BodyShop Tea Tree Oil on any blemishes. For moisturiser I will use the Effaclar Duo by La Roche Posay on bad skin days as I find this is enough by itself, but on normal days I have been using the Korrws Pomegranate Moisturiser which I have just finished up so its back to the old faithful Seaweed Day Cream by the BodyShop. Then I usually spritz my face with the La Roche Posay Thermal Water and once that has soaked in I apply the Kiehls Micro Blur Skin Perfector.

Afternoon

In the afternoon, when I get in from work and I know I am going out somewhere later and will need to re do my make up or the total opposite and I'm just jumping straight into bed, I have been using the Ren Rosa Centifolia Express Make Up Remover to get all my make up off, followed by the Lush Tea Tree Water to tone and get any last traces of make up, some Body Shop Tea Tree Oil on any blemishes and a spritz of La Roche Posay Thermal Water for hydration. I also like to use the Korres Jasmine Lip Butter after I have removed my lip make up so my lips do not dry out.

Evening

When I go in the bath I like to use my Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter by the BodyShop to remove my make up, followed by the Vitamin C Microdermabrasion Exfoliator a couple of times a week. I then use a mask whilst my conditioner soaks in, recently it's been either the Aesop Camomile Anti Blemish Masque or my favourite Honey & Oat mask from the BodyShop. When I am out I apply my Kiehls Eye Treatment with Avocado (sorry I totally forgot to include it in the pictures but I've spoken about it a million times) and my night moisturiser, at the moment it is the Vitamin E Sorbet by the BodyShop (which I prefer to use at night as I don't like anything heavy on my oily skin at the start of the day) and then just before I go to bed I will use the Vitamin E Serum-in-Oil by the BodyShop all over my face and apply my Korres Lip Butter.

Hope you enjoyed reading this, I always enjoy reading others and getting ideas of some new products to try.

Since the season has changed, my bag and its contents has also changed so. Thought I'd do an updated whats in my bag.

The bag itself is the same as last time, the Mini City Bag £39.99 from Zara, but in black this time, I love this bag, it's so small but so bit at the same time, a true Mary Poppins bag with so many compartments. It can be worn in the nook of the arm, over the shoulder with the extra strap or just carried in your hand, it really remind me of the mini Celine bag. It is also available in white, blue and a blush pink shade.

So I have my mini note book from Asda, pink Parker pen, my work keys, my favourite lipstick Tom Ford Nude Vanille, a mini Percy & Reed Dry Shampoo for those emergencies, a tinted Lanolips Lipbalm, mini Punk Bouquet hand cream from & Other Stories, a spare hairband and grips, a little pot of paracetamol, some vanilla hand wipes from H&M, a mini Avene thermal water spray and a muji spray bottle filled with the Punk Bouquet body mist from & Other Stories.

I also have my travel make up bag from Superdrug (the contents of which can be found in a seperate post coming up soon), a small pot of Lanacane for my eczema, my iPhone (not pictured) and head phones, Aesop hand sanitizer, a Zara roll on perfume in Black Peony, my purse, Percy & Reed Wonder Balm, my sunglasses and my car keys (not pictured).
