Products I cannot live without: Lip Balm

Hello guys,


Good evening! I hope you are having a great start to your weekend. I am still suffering with flu..yes "suffering" haha. This morning i am going to be talking about one of my favourite beauty products! Lip balm. I am going to be sharing with my absolute favourites. And with winter on its way.. what better time than to discuss my trusted faves.


Ever since i discovered Lush's fantastic Lip scrub, made from sugar. My favourite is the christmas one "Santa's scrub" I  exfoliate my lips lightly every few days ever since trying it and my lips have never been softer or moisturised. So i would recommend trying a lip exfoliator regularly, it really helps to get luscious lips!












Next of course, my trusted lip balms and mask.

1. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lipcare Stick
My favourite lip balm is the Elizabeth Arden eight hour lip balm. I find it so nourishing, its a really effective treatment for dry lips. I apply it at night and always find my lips are plump and moisturised in the morning. There is also a balm version available.

2. Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip Balm in Original

 I have recently discovered this gem, as i ran out of my Nivea one and the supermarket didn't have many options. But i am pleased i discovered this one! The Cocoa butter formula is non-greasy and smells amazing. There are flavoured ones available also.













3. Nivea Lip Balm

As previously mentioned i normally use the Nivea lip balms and always try a different flavour when i buy a new one! I love the formula but i don't find them as nourishing as the Elizabeth Arden one. (i always have dry lips)

Fruity Shine Peach

Fruity Shine Strawberry

Fruity Shine Cherry

Lip Butter Blueberry Blush

Lip Butter Caramel Cream

                   

4. Best Damn Beauty Lip Mask

I have only recently started using a lip mask once or twice a week, and have tried the Beauty Damn Beauty lip mask, a skincare brand created by beauty blogger, Nicole Guerriero. I am really liking the mask,  i find it super hydrating and well worth the money. I love the chic packaging and the product itself smells great, always a plus!

It contains Lanolin which helps to rejuvenate dry skin, Castor Seed oil which helps to penetrate into the skin and aids in hydration. Jojoba oil helps to improve the skins elasticity and flexibility and the mask recommend for night time use. It's a must try if you have dry lips!

I hope you guys enjoyed some insight into what lip products i cannot live without!
Share with me below what products you have been using and loving, i am always on the look out for new products to try! I hope you all have a great weekend.


Bye for now,

My best tips for battling flu!

Hey guys,


I hope you are all well. Sorry for my lack of recent posts, i am suffering from bad flu. I was thinking about all the things that would help make me feel better. So i thought, why not share them with you guys, as i can't possibly be the only one that is ill!

1. Try to minimise stress & workload

Now i know this is easier said than done, because i still have to work and write for uni daily. But my best tip would be to prioritise your workload and try your best not to stress yourself out as that will only make you feel worse.

2. Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are the best for when your feeling ill, and for some reason it really helps to make you feel better. And of course, they're packed with probiotics, vitamins, minerals and green goodness to help you get better faster.


3. Big Blue Lush Bath Bomb

I always keep one of these for when I'm feeling down or ill, because the smell really helps me to feel better.

4. Strepsils

Of course, these are a must and the strawberry ones are my favourite!

5. Ice Lollies

Even though the weather has been a bit rubbish these last few days, here in Surrey and the days seem to be getting darker already. Ice lollies have been helping to soothe my throat! My current favourites are the Coconut and Pina Colada ones from Waitrose. Check them out!

6. Green Tea & Honey and Lemon

I love Green tea at the best of times, but this honestly does really help. You could also try some hot water with honey and lemon.


7. Rest

Rest is a must if you want to get better. Relax and try to make the most of it.


I know this was short and sweet, but i hope you guys enjoyed it! Apologies for lack of posts, as soon as I'm better normal posts will resume. I hope this gives you some ideas to help you feel better if you too are under the weather.


Take Care,

What i love about Fall

Hello guys,

Today's post is about what i love about Fall. Now that summer is over and can i just say i can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I've had a great summer and am looking forward to starting my second year of University. I hope you are all having a great year.

Fall is one of my favourite times of the year, when you can re-invent your wardrobe and warm jumpers and knits come out, and autumnal shades are all the rage! I love to shop for new home things, clothes and stay warm and cosy. The only thing i don't like about winter is the mornings get darker and colder.

Anyway, there are certain i do to get ready for winter, and do throughout winter.


Lush Bath bomb/Ballistics:

My all time favourite is Candy Mountain which is a sweet, pink and white mountain. But that only comes out at Christmas time, which makes it even more special. My favourites all year round, are Big Blue which is great for a cold, it has a very herbal scent. Frozen, which is new and is based on the film it also has silver glitter inside! Butterball, which is an all time favourite, its so nourishing so ideal for dry skin and especially winter. Fizz banger, which has a really zingy energising scent, perfect for a pick me up pamper session. Twilight, is a sweet scent, really warming great for a cold evening. And lastly, the comforter in Berry is another of one my favourites.

Big Blue

Butterball

Frozen

Fizzbanger

Twilight

The Comforter

Lush Luxury Bath Melts:

A favourite is Melting marshmallow, which is a sweet pink treat! there are lots of seasonal bath bombs, which i cannot remember the names of, but i would recommend keeping an eye on the website and in your local stores.


New ones which i have tried and loved. Are Milky Bath bubble bar, Rosejam bubbleroon, and Sunnyside which is a gold sparkling bubble bar.

RoseJam

Sunnyside

Candles:   I love candles, there is always a candle burning somewhere in my home, especially during winter. I have a few favourites, but like to try new scents too! My favourite scent at christmas is Yankee's Snowflake Cookie its such a sweet, warm fragrance, i always purchase a few to last me through the new year also.


Yankee Candle: Fireside Treats, Salted Caramel and Cappuccino truffles are my absolute favourites. I also love Jo Malone candles, especially sweet almond and Macaroon and Lime basil and Mandarin which is a fresh scent. They are both expensive brands but i have found they last for a long time and the scent lingers.

knits: My favourite brands for knit jumpers are Acne, Next, and Topshop.

Fall Nail Polish: I mainly have Bio-Sculpture or CND Shellac Gel nails, because it is durable and doesn't chip easily. But i also love polishes and use them frequently too. I think it is important to give your nails a break from chemicals and gels, so i alternate between the three options. My favourite colours this fall are: CND Shellac - Tinted Love, Hollywood, they are also some of my all time favourite shades, but are perfect for fall! I will share with you a few of my favourite polishes for fall this year too below.


CND Shellac -

Rouge Rite

CND Shellac -
There is also a new fall Collection, i love every shade from the collection so i will show you them all!
If you prefer nail polish, CND Vinylux is the fantastic polish collection which offer every shade of the shellac range in a polish version. I would recommend trying them!

If i see anymore that i love, i will add them.

I also love winter walks with my dogs, Hot chocolate, and watching great movies in the warm.



I hope you enjoyed finding out what i love about Fall. I hope you guys are having a great start to September. Let me know what you love about Fall. More exciting posts to come!

Have a great day,

Green Tea

Hey guys,

Good evening, i hope you are all doing well.

I absolutely love green tea. I drink it every night, i find it relaxing, it tastes great and is really good for you and your skin.

I have my favourites, but i like to try new ones and yesterday i bought a new one to try and wanted to share it with you. I am fussy when it comes to tea, sometimes i try them and don't like them. But this one is really good!

It's by Taylors of Harrogate, Green tea with Strawberry & Vanilla. It's really yummy, and smells exactly like strawberry and vanilla, which you don't always find. Its first one i have tried from them and i want to the try the Strawberry and Kiwi one next!


Anyway, If you like Green Tea, then i would recommend you try this one. I will let you know what my favourite teas are and why soon. I hope you have a great evening. New post tomorrow!


Bye for now,

Spot Treatments

Hello Loves,

So today, lets talk about spots, acne and blemishes - whichever you would like to call them.

I have tried and tested lots products and i have three top products, which i reach for again and again..

(in no particular order)

1. Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel

£20, A daily treatment gel, starts clearing blemishes straight away. Has a pleasant medicinal smell, i swear by this product. If i have a pimple rising this is the first product i use. There are other products available in the Anti-Blemish range, i would recommend having a look at them.




2. Glamglow Super Mud Clearing Treatment

Scientifically advanced clearing treatment, to target heal and prevent problem skin.
It contains key ingredients to help minimise pores, scaring and future breakouts.

I have tried most of the Glam glow range, and this is one of my favourites. They are expensive products but are worth every penny. I see overnight results when i use this, it clears the pimple effectively and reduces redness. Teen Vogue Magazine award winner 2014, and i can see why!



3. DHC Acne Spot Treatment

£12.71. This spot treatment contains sulphur, and i have found my skin reacts excellently. A recommendation from Beauty Vlogger Nicole Guerriero, i purchased this product from amazon.






For me skincare is really important, i love to try new products and i believe that your makeup will also only look as good as your skin looks. So i think its really important and i want to share with you all, the spot treatments i love and use religiously.


I hope you guys enjoyed this post, there is plenty more to come so stay tuned!

Lots of love,

GeorgiaBlue xx

The Ethiopian Fashion Tribe

Hello loves,


So i recently discovered a fantastic article and wanted to share it with you all!

An Ethiopian fashion tribe thought to be among the most unique and remote tribal people in the world, they turn nature into Haute Couture. Photographed and discovered by German artist Hans Silverman.

"Far from the runways of Paris and the Fashion houses of Milan, they are from an alternative fashion world, where what you wear is subject to mother nature's infinitely changing elements"

I think it is genuinely amazing and so inspiring, we are so lucky to be able to see amazing things like this!

Anyway, check out the article by Messy Nessy Chic. They are truly amazing Women the individuality, colour, texture of their designs and originality is really inspiring.

Enjoy,

GeorgiaBlue xx
