Looking for something?

Planners, rings and other things

I was going to blab on about beauty this evening, but then I changed my mind and decided it was time for a favourites style blog post. Favourite mug, favourite jewellery bits, favourite diary – the everyday things. Know what I mean? 🙂

So without further ado, here are the bits and pieces that I use, wear and reach for every day. Some have been around for months, others a couple of weeks, and some just a few days, because I’m fickle like that 🙂

Anthropologie Monogram Mug. This was a birthday gift from Louise and I bloody love it. There’s something really appealing about owning a giant mug with the first letter of my name on it, and obviously, it holds an enormous amount of coffee. An ego boost and it involves caffeine – Louise knows me so well 😉

Ban.Do planner. I’m a planner addict as many of you know. I flit between using this one and Erin Condren’s version, and the former is currently flavour of the month. It’s small and light (and pretty) and I love the illustrations and stickers inside, plus it helps keep me organised (duh). To be fair, I pretty much love all things Ban.do, though. I usually buy their stuff online from ASOS, although I have seen them in Virgin Megastore in Dubai of late.

Aesop Aromatique Hand Balm. Because I’m not getting any younger, I try to religiously use hand cream every day now, and this one is my current fave. Aesop is not the cheapest brand around, but I like this because it’s thick and creamy and does the job nicely, and most importantly, the packaging makes me swoon 🙂

Monica Vinader Siren Ring, Review, Rose Gold Ring,

Monica Vinader Siren Ring. This was a sale purchase from Net-A-Porter about a year ago and it’s now a solid member of the everyday jewellery club. I love the stone, the shape, and the fact that it’s gold. Everything else I currently wear is either gold or rose gold, too. This ring from Topshop, this Monica Vinader bracelet and this watch by Larsson and Jennings.

 

 

Winky Lux Lip Balm. A brand that has only come into my life recently, I’m slightly obsessed with Winky Lux lip balms. Dinky, super smooth and creamy (and cheap!) and there’s a flower inside the lip balm. I’m not even joking! Look at this article and you’ll see what I mean. Plus it changes colour to match your natural lip colour! Looooove!

Aveda Volumizing Mist. I bought this at the Aveda salon in Dubai last week after one of their lovely stylists recommended it. Even after only a few days use I know it’s probably one of the best of its kind on the market. It’s incredibly light, non-sticky and leaves no residue, and it does a beautiful job of lifting the hair when spritzed directly on the roots. I picked up a great tip from the stylist I spoke to when I was there, too. After using a volumizing spray and then blow-drying your hair, you should leave the hair to cool for at least 5-10 minutes before running a brush through it. This will help it hold volume/style longer. Genius!

Anastasia Sun-Dipped Glow Kit. Christ, I’m obsessed with this. Literally obsessed! The shades, the pigmentation, the multi-use possibilities – I use at least two shades in the palette every day. Just look at it! Oh. my. god.

Anastasia Sun Dipped Glow Kit, Swatches, Review

And that’s it I think. Quite a lot really 🙂

What are you loving at the moment? Be it books, makeup, clothes – I want to know!

Speaking of books, I have three to get through in the next couple of weeks, the first of which is The Wangs Vs. The World by Jade Chang. It has received rave reviews, and I do love a bit of dark humour so I can’t wait to get stuck into it.

Hope you’re all having a good week and thank you for reading!

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
