Models Own at Clothes Show Live!

Models Own is a brand that I've tried about before and loved. Their polishes are great quality, they're nice and cheap and they do a lot of different beautiful colours. For this years Clothes Show Live, Models Own have launched an exclusive glitter nail polish which is only available to buy at their PK116 stand and exclusive to the Clothes Show Live.

The team have also put together the Ultimate Models Own kit! I have both the kit and the gorgeous glitter nail polish to show you what it's like before you buy it. Remember, the Models Own stand is at PK116.

Show Stopper* (£5.00) is inspired by this years Clothes Show Live Ambassador, Daisy Lowe. It's an exclusive glitter polish that has fine holographic multi-tonal glitter is beautiful greys, blues, silvers and purples which makes it perfect for this season and especially for Christmas. The nail kit* comes with a gorgeous shimmery gold nail polish and a black nail art pen. I'm not the best with the nail art pen as of yet (as you can tell from the image above) but with a bit of practice, I'm sure I'll be a professional soon. All of these nail items are easy to work with and easy to remove. I'm absolutely in love with them!

Clothes Show Live runs from the 7th-11th of December at the NEC Birmingham. To find out more, visit their website here. I've been to the Clothes Show Live before with college and I loved it. It was great being surrounded by so many people who loved fashion and beauty.

CHRISTMAS: Second 3 Days of the Liz Earle Advent Calender

Can you believe it's the 6th of December already? This year has flew by and now, December is flying by! I don't know whether I'm happy about it (Christmas is very exciting for me) or sad as it seems like my life is non-existent at the moment with how quickly things are going. But anyway, I have the next 3 items from the Liz Earle Advent Calender* for you. You can see the first 3 here.

Opening this advent calender is still extremely exciting and it's one of the things that manages to wake me up in the morning. I received the Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash which I've reviewed before here. I'm still as much in love with this product now as I was when I first tried it out. It smells so beautiful and delicate and it lathers up like a dream considering it's very natural. I then got the Nourishing Botanical Body Cream which I've never tried out before and I still haven't used it yet but once I have, I'll update you on what it's like. And finally, today I received something which I was extremely, extremely excited about as it's one of my favourite Liz Earle products... Their Gentle Face Exfoliator which I've reviewed before here. As the name suggests, this is very gentle and it's really creamy and luxurious to use. It buffs away dead skin cells and reveals bright, smooth skin. It's definitely a lovely treat!

I will be back in another three days with the next products out of the advent calender!

FAVOURITES: Facial Oils

If you'd had said to me a couple of months ago that I'd soon be slapping oil onto my skin every single day then I'd have just dismissed your comment. You see, I have combination skin which means that I get a few dry patches and a few oily patches. So originally, I thought that by added more oil to the skin, my oil would become an oil slick. What I didn't realise was that oils don't have to be greasy. You just have to find yourself a very good facial oil that will balance out your skin. Here are my top two.

Hedgerow Beauty Daily Facial Oil* - £12.50
This facial oil is very easy to use and it doesn't create a lot of mess as it comes with a pipette which makes dispensing the product very easy. This facial oil really nourishes the skin and it's suitable for all skin types and conditions as it is a rich emollient which promotes a smooth, replenished complexion and helps to calm any skin irritations. It also has a high antioxidant value which helps skin rejuvenation and this helps reveal a brighter skin. The scent isn't my favourite as it's lavender and I'm really not a fan of lavender but after all, this is down to personal preferences and it is create at calming the mind and relaxing you.
Lulu's Time Bomb Youth Juice Secret Oil* - £30.76
This little bottle of wonder is quickly becoming my Holy Grail. This oil mimics the skin's natural sebum so it gives you an all-over youthful dewy glow without making your skin look overly shiny. It has been specially formulated with vitamins E and C to quench thirsty, ageing skin and it creates a moisture barrier which helps to reduce the appearance of lines and crevices. I'm only 19 and I don't have ageing skin but my skin is already showing signs of ageing because of my scarring and also, you can never start too young! This oil promises results after just one week and I can vouch for that claim. After one week of use my skin looked and felt so beautiful and fresh! This oil never, ever feels greasy and it's such a pleasure to use.

CHRISTMAS: John Bell & Croyden

Today, I have a great little stocking filler for you. And you're guaranteed to find one that suits each and every one of your loved ones! 

 This is soap, in a tin. How incredibly cute?! The one I've been using is the Oatmeal Soap* which exfoliates the skin as well as cleansing it and it smells so yummy that I almost want to eat it! There are so many different scents to choose from which you can see here. The tin is very cute and vintage and after my soap has been used up, I can see myself storing hair clips and pins in it as it's just so adorable. The soap itself is very good quality and like I said early, smells amazing. This soap retails for just £4.95.

Another gift that I absolutely love from the John Bell & Croyden website are the Rabbit Hand Hotties which retail for just £10. These are so cute and they're made with lambswool to keep your hands warm over and over again. You can visit the John Bell & Croyden website here.

CHRISTMAS: Dove

Dove is such a classic brand and when I saw the press release for their Christmas sets, I couldn't resist showing you some of their best offerings this Christmas. I also bought a Dove gift set for my grandma as it's a brand that she swears by and that she has used for years!

In the black clutch bag is the Dove Beauty Finish Set* - £9.99. In the box at the back is the Dove Indulgent Silk Duo - £6.50 and in the bag at the front is the Dove Mini Pampering Set* - £5.99.

In the Beauty Finish Set* you get a Beauty Finish Anti-Perspirant which is without a doubt, amazing. I love Dove deodorants and they're definitely the best ones on the market for me. They don't leave white marks and they do the job of protection all day long. You also get a Dove Summer Glow+ Soft Shimmer Nourishing Lotion in Medium to Dark which yet again, is a wonderful product. Dove Summer Glow's are my favourite gradual tanners as they don't streak and the colour develops nice and quickly. You also get a Dove clutch mirror and a clutch bag which I've been using on nights out! In the Indulgent Silk Duo set you get a Silk Glow Nourishing Body Wash and a Cream Oil Nourishing Body Wash which both smell incredible! I bought this gift set for my grandma so I haven't actually tried it out but I've used Dove's body washes before and they are really indulgent to use. They leave the skin feeling beautifully soft and supple. And last but definitely not least, in the Mini Pampering Set* you get mini Beauty Finish deodorant, a mini Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Wash, a mini Indulgent Nourishment Body Lotion, a nice wash wag and a sponge. This gift set is perfect for those who are on the go as it contains everything that you'd need to pampering yourself and also nourish yourself.

Left to right, top to bottom: Dove Fresh Indulgence Pampering Set - £6.50, Dove Luxurious Silk - £13.99, Dove Supreme Pro-Age Collection - £14.99, Dove Travel Minis Gift Set - £5.00.

With Dove, I love the variety of gift sets that are available and the number of different places that you can find them. I also love the packaging as most of them come with wash bags which is very useful for keeping all of your products in! Dove products are also very high quality and there are so many different ranges that you're guaranteed to find one that suits your loved one. And finally, the gift sets aren't expensive!
