Winter #1

I thought I would do a little post today on what I have been loving this week, especially in regard to lips. For me, I have been straying away from my go-to nude pink, and going more towards a brown lips day-to-day. Going back brunette has made me love this shade and as I am all about bronzed skin I find it has been working out pretty well for me.

So today was a quick dash into town to pick up a few bits and pieces, teamed with a salted caramel latte (hail you Costa!) and a big furry coat I was quite happy.

So this is it- the lip combination of the week.

  • Kiehl's Lip Gloss in "East Village Vibe"
  • Estee Lauder Lip Gloss in "Wild Sugarcane"
No lipstick to be seen here! I have been quite enjoying not using a lipstick in this weather as it helps keep the lips moisturised, and when this combination wears off slightly it still leaves a natural tint to the lips which still feel like you still have a shot of colour on your lips without having to reapply. This week has been pretty hectic so this has been a huge bonus! The Kiehl's lip gloss is very moisturising anyway and has a gorgeous peachy flavour instead of a gloopy nasty taste and doesn't feel sticky so I will definetley be repurchasing. Kiehl's products are always a winner as they are natural and beneficial to the skin instead of being full of nasty chemicals and toxins, which are never nice, especially in winter. I find using this colour first and then sweeping over Estee Lauder gives a good sheeny toffee colour.
Also I couldn't finish this without giving a little happy nod towards the Body Shop. I'm a huge lover of hand creams and moisturisers of any sort, but got the Almond Hand & Nail Cream because of it's strengthening nail properties. My nails are so weak and brittle at the moment they were requiring a lot of TLC, and I've found since using this daily whenever my hands feel slightly dry has shown some slight improvement as I am getting less splits in my nails and they are looking a lot shinier! (also my hands have been smelling yummy!).

Hope everyone has been having a lovely week, happy Wednesday!
