When I was in Brighton for the weekend I ended up purchasing a huge bottle of shower gel & body lotion because the hotel freebies were gross, lol. This set would come in very handy if I go away for a few days again, which is likely as I’m due for a business trip soon! I love Crabtree & Evelyn and at this price I just had to have it, even if I don’t go anywhere.

Guerlain Meteorites Illuminating Pressed Powder (02 Rose Fraise Star) £40.85

The complexion perfecting technology of Guerlain Meteorites in a pressed powder.

Your skin’s natural radiance is accentuated, imperfections are concealed and your complexion is mattified.

Different shades of the sparkling, multicoloured micro-particles are divided into two halves of the compact for differing effects. One side lifts and illuminates the complexion, whilst the other evens it out and hides imperfections.

Each shade of compact has a different coloured pearl at its centre for specific results; the green pearl reduces redness, the white pearl brightens and freshens the complexion, whilst the purple brightens as it unifies.

This just kind of happened to find itself in my basket…! I’ve been lusting after this powder for a while and thought what the hell. It’s now showing as out of stock & discontinued so I’m not sure where you can get them from but I’m really glad I got it when I did. Every highlight powder I’ve tried before has either been too powdery and not really done anything or too glittery. This seems like a perfect blend of subtle shimmers, just enough to catch the light and it looks so pretty in the pan!

Vichy Dermablend Dermasmooth Corrective Foundation (15 Opal) £15.50

A high coverage foundation for use on even the most sensitive and fragile skin.

The super formulation contains the unique association of a high concentration of high-coverage pigments and an ultra-supple texture for flawless 12-hour coverage with no mask-like effect.

Instantly, skin irregularities are perfectly concealed, without leaving make-up line or cakiness. The complexion is even and radiant; the skin is supple and comfortable.

The formulation is perfectly malleable and ultra-easy to blend into the skin. It glides on and can be distributed evenly, offering maximum colour dispersion.

Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, oil-free, non-acnegenic, fragrance-free, SPF11

I hate my skin and have to have a decent coverage foundation, having tried many (and hating most!) this was one I’ld often heard alot about but found it hard to track down. Heard alot of good things so can’t wait to try this out properly! One thing I really hate about high coverage foundations is the heavy, greasy feel and I really hope this doesn’t leave my skin feeling like an oily mess.

I first heard about this on Temptalia, and tried looking for it everywhere but the only place I could get it from was on eBay.com from Hong Kong…! Erm…. That seems a bit dodgy to me, so I was delighted to see it on Escentual for such a low price. I’ve never heard of this brand before, what with it being so hard to get here in the UK and the fact it’s aimed at men. Instant love, this lives up to all the hype and has sorted my dry lips out within an evening. I might order the lemon one too =)

I love all my purchases and urge you to check out Escentual.com if you haven’t already! They always get new collections in which are often hard to find on these shores such as Too Faced, Guerlain & Dior etc. and not only do they offer free delivery on all orders over £40 they have the one of the best customer services team I have ever come across. I really can’t recommended the site highly enough, and look forward to making my Summer fragrance order!
