LUSH!

I recently posted telling you guys about a fabulous skincare gift I received; I thought I would stay on the topic and tell you about these gorgeous goodies I also got given for my birthday too. Firstly, just take a look at the lovely gift paper it came in. I just love the pretty flowers! (and you know how much I love flowers :'D). Four body products came in this box and all have empowering smells; your sure to pick a favourite! Mine is already the Lemon and Rose one. It looks so nice. The only bad thing is, I won't want to ruin it's perfectly moulded shape. This a common problem and if your beauty obsessed you will understand. Anyway, being a clean freak myself, perfumed products are my bliss. I like musty fruit scented smells.

I think it's important to put time aside for relaxation. A good bubble bath is defiantly on my list of top favourite things. I could sit in the tub beyond hours on end, close my eyes and get lost surrounded by the most heavenly scents. It's magnificent how a smell can relax you. I once came home having had the worst day ever and I didn't know what or who could help to reduce the stress that was forcing itself upon me. Had a bath, poured some nice smelling gel into the tub and BAM! I instantly felt better. It is simple as that.

I recently got given this Benefit miniature skincare set as a birthday present and so far, I have very little criticism. Creamy and fresh, my skin feels new after one attempt. The cute little bottles and containers they come in is just one feature that makes these products perfect gifts. Want that sun kissed skin you've been waiting for? You can get it! Here is how I prepare my skin for that silky luscious base:

1. Firstly, wet your face. Then take a pea sized amount of the 'Foamingly Clean Facial Wash' and gently rub it into your skin using circular motions. Leave for a few seconds and rinse off.

2. Secondly, take a cotton wool pad and pour a small amount of the 'Moisture Prep Toning Lotion' on it. Again, wipe it on using gentle circular motions all around the face, taking extra care around the eye area.

3. Thirdly; take a pea sized amount of the 'Total Moisture Cream' and gently rub that on, avoiding spots/acne and any area that may cause irritation. Feel free to add a bit more onto rough or dry areas.

4. Lastly; I then use a small amount of the; 'It's Potent! Eye Cream Benefit' under the eye to decrease the sign of dark circles or tired eyes.

AND YOUR DONE!

Alternatively, for extra radiance you can add the 'Refined Finish, Facial Polish' in after you cleanse with the 'Foamingly Clean Facial Wash.'

One last thing to ensure your skin is up to scratch; apply the 'Triple Performing Facial Emulsion' on your face and neck every morning.

I am currently testing them out myself and hope to buy the full sized products! For more information on Benefit products go to this website: http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/
