Xmas WishLUST. Beauty Gifts You Never Knew You Wanted.

Hello Team! A bit of a busy week for me - my new job is going great but it's quite a change of pace with a much, much earlier start! Thankfully these longer summer hours have made it a lot easier because it looks like it's 3pm outside when it's actually 8pm. Brilliant.

Of course, with longer summer hours comes longer sun exposure and whilst that's great for my Vitamin D intake, it means more damage to my skin and..... ACCELERATED AGEING. Duh duh duhhhhh.


 I know you KNOW that SPF is important but let's be honest, we think of SPF and think sticky, heavy, pasty cream. I don't want that on my skin - it'll take years to dry and my skin will be all tacky and shiny right?

Wrong. My friends - let me introduce you to the SPF products of today. These products are light, they're velvet smooth, they now even come in different textures and different formats for any purpose and any part of your body!

Before you start wondering 'what parts of my body would i need to use SPF on?' - just keep reading and all will be revealed... 




SPF isn't just about the suncream. Today I'll be covering my favourite all-over sun cream, a great SPF primer, portable SPF products and also some fabulous SPF makeup. Sound good? Let's start.



Best All-Over Suncream.

Summer Skincare: My Top SPF Products!

Earlier this month I attended a breakfast with Selfridges and their lovely team to discuss their Christmas plans. And BOOM. The BIG plans for the windows have now been revealed, the Christmas Emporiums have been opened and The One-And-Only giftshop is ready to be discovered! Christmas has arrived!

During the breakfast we did a little gift-card lucky dip - and holy smokes - I actually won something! I never win anything normally - raffles, scratchcards, Monopoly, rock-paper-scissors - it just doesn't happen a lot for me.

So now, the hard part - what to spend my gift card on?? And of course - pay day is just a sniff away, I'm pretty sure I will end up coming out with more than my bank balance bargained for!




So you may be thinking "is shopping really that hard? Boo hoo for you Zoe" - but really, when faced with the choice of all the wonderful glories contained within those four walls... it's actually a VERY tricky decision!

Do I buy stuff that I need? Do I replenish old favourites? Or do I splash out and buy myself something I wouldn't normally buy? WHAT SHOULD I GET?

So I've spent sometime perusing the Selfridges website and these are the gems which have caught my eye. A tough choice non?




I literally can't decide. What a fab collection - but what are they?!

Selfridges Shopping - What Should I Buy: Nars, Laura Mercier, Ciate or Shu Uemura?

HONEY, IM HOME!

I'm back from the Far East with many a far-out story to tell and lots of photos to accompany the poor chat! Hooray!

So - to summarise. I spent a week in Hong Kong, then went to China to check out the shops and the sights before back to HK for my Grandma's 90th birthday. (Big up to my PorPor & the rest of the Dubs family!) 

Bought lots, ate lots, absolutely melted in the 35 degree heat. The end.


It's actually really good to be back - I was massively surprised by the good weather welcoming me home - when I left it was like "10 degrees with chance of snow" and CHECK OUT THE GLORIOUS SUNSHINE NOW! Summer is finally here. HIYA.





Highlights of the holiday?
