New In: Caudalie Divine Oil

My body oil collection recently expanded thanks to this latest release from Caudalie. Moisturising is something that I try to make happen on a daily basis, especially in summer and I do prefer to use body oils as opposed to moisturiser as in general they sink into the skin faster and smell nicer! If you've tried or loved the Nuxe Multipurpose Dry Oil this is definitely something to check out - smells basically the same, like summer in a bottle! Really moisturising and absorb a little faster than the Nuxe. I absolutely love using body oils in the summer to give my skin some glow and radiance as well as really moisturising. When I've been sitting in the sun and skin and hair is looking a little parched I just run this through my hair with my hands as it smells amazing and it really nourishing.
The bottle isn't very travel friendly and I can see it causing a leaking in the suitcase situation but it's definitely one to keep on the dresser! 

You can purchase Caudalie Divine Oil for £25 at SpaceNK here or Feel Unique here

Currently Loving: Almonds

The L'Occitane range have really been doing amazingly well in my good books recently! It's very rare that I love a skincare item thats based on food as well as the actual food itself, but hello almonds! L'Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil, which I raved about fully here, is definitely my favourite skin oil (and I have tried my fair few) along with the amazing smell comes a moisturising, soft oil that leaves me waking up to the most lovely skin ever. Paired together with another item in the range I love, the Almond Shower Oil, to give the dream team of achieving soft skin. The shower oil is really buttery soft but lathers really easily which is why I love it.

On to the actual food these are based on, Almonds. One of my friends, whose Mom is actually a nutritionist, would always have a little pot of almonds next to her bed to snack on. Probably because they are a really healthy snack with tons of benefits       . What many would describe as 'brain food', as well as boosting energy and helping aid weight loss. The most important for me is the skincare and haircare benefits, being a good source of protein almonds can aid hair and nail strength and growth as well as being heigh in antioxidants! 

Skin Saviour: L'Occitane Supple Skin Oil

Body oils  are one of those things that you either love or hate and I am one of those that absolutely loves them! I've been through countless bottles from thisWorks to Nuxe to Omorovicza and the L'Occitane Supple Skin Almond Body Oil is high up at the top of the list!

The scent is probably what drew me to it the most, the first time I sampled this was on a brief walk by in Selfridges and I literally could not stop smelling my hands! Think a mix of marzipan, oil and almonds, but trust me it's good. Made & perfect for dry skin as oils help sink into the skin and penetrate into the layers rather than just sitting on top of it.  Compared to other oils like thisWorks Dry Leg Oil it's a lot thicker making the spreading a little harder and sinks in the quickest (yep I tested!) Of course it does leave that residue that oil does so before sleeping is probably the best time to apply this. I've consulted a couple of my fellow beauty obsessors too and apparently it's fantastic for people with ecxzma and psoriasis too!
