My New La Roche Posay Skincare: Effaclar BB Blur & Hydraphase Intense Serum
This summer is a season full of high ponytails, headbands, headscarves and scraped back fringes. With so much of my giant face on show, skincare is big on my list this month!!
And what better to treat my tanned hide than a little haul from The Body Shop?! Full of organic and natural ingredients, Body Shop products always smell incredible and their eco ethos is one of the reasons why they're a skincare staple for me.
What's First On My Face?
First up is a greeeeat summer serum. Those of you who have followed my adventures into the initial signs of ageing will know that I've been using more serums past 25.
With my oily skin, most serums tend to be too heavy but like Goldilocks in the hunt for the perfect porridge, this Drops Of Youth concentrate is jussssst right for me.

Body Shop Haul: Smooth Skin & Self-Adjusting Colour!
It is waaaarm outside! Isn't this weather great? A bit of sunshine makes me feel so happy. It's crazy how weather can affect your mood so much, I wonder why?
I have a theory that sunshine makes you happy because, hear me out here, with sunshine comes glorious things like ice cream, al fresco dining and the chance to fiiiinally wear that beautiful sundress you bought but never had the opportunity to wear... Sounds legit right?
Summer brings out the best feeling but of course, with the good comes the bad. The cruel balance of Cest La Vie means that photo perfect lipstick disappears around iced frappe straws and foundation stains end up on your new white dress - basically, hot weather and heavy makeup do nahhht get along.
So how do I get perfect but natural skin, without slapping on foundation?
What you need in hot weather is light coverage, with a barely there finish - oh and shiz loads of sun protection!!
The answer is simple, your summer salvation lies is the humble BB & CC cream. But which one?!

How To Get Natural Summer Skin: My fave BB & CC Creams
Everyone has a weakness and when it comes to my weakness, all I see is blue circles.... Blue circles, white writing - yes my friends, I'm talking about the siren call of a shop named Boots.
I don't know what it is but I can't go to Boots without buying more than I intended to. Even if it's boring crap like mouthwash (dull yet ESSENTIAL) , I always end up spending more than I planned! Please tell me this happens to you too?! Ho wait, perhaps you have an inkling of self control.
Given my weakness, imagine how happy I am when it comes to special offers and the latest 3 for 2 mix and match cosmetics is one of my all-time favourites! Give me ALL the cosmetics, gimme gimme gimmeee.
So, what did I get?? Recognise any of these?

Boots No7 & Revlon 3 for 2 Makeup Haul!
Pinch, punch, first day of the month!! (Kick and a flick for being so quick!!) Do you remember doing this at school? I swear there were loads of "clever responses" like that, and they were all very violent thinking about it..
Anyway - can you believe it's March already?! March is when the cobwebs of the New Year have finally blown away. I have now fully recovered from the holiday season, my new healthy living routine is no longer a new year whim and officially a real thing and the time for my 'this-year-I'm-going-to's is pretty much now or never! 2014 is well and truly here.
But what has been brightening my grey days and equally greyer skin since January 1st? This fab CC cream from Seventeen! HIYA.
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is "What's your favourite BB cream" to use? It used to be the Garnier Matte Miracle Skin for Combination/Oily - but then I started using this Seventeen CC Cream and I was completely blown over!!
Let's start from the beginning
I'll be honest, BB creams are neither here nor there for me - not quite as much coverage as a foundation, BB creams are effectively a tinted moisturiser with an SPF. I'm usually an all-or-nothing kinda gal. I wear BB creams on lazy sunday mornings, after a rare trip to the gym and on (even rarer) good skin days.
What's the difference between BB and CC?
