La Roche-Posay are by far my favourite, more affordable skincare brand. I just love how stripped back their products are and everything I try from them does wonders for my skin. Although my face and body aren't too sensitive for the most part, my eyes are a different story. Even the slightest breeze causes them to stream and I need to be careful when applying makeup close to my lash-line, or they can get red and irritated. For anyone that wears contact lenses or suffers from sensitive eyes, La Roche-Posay have come to the rescue with their new Repectissime line, which features a waterproof eye makeup remover and a range of mascaras, eyeshadows, liners and brow products. I've tried a couple of the high-street brand's makeup products before, including their Effaclar BB Blur, so I couldn't wait to give their new releases a try!

My favourite aspect of beauty blogging is sampling products from brands that wouldn't necessarily catch my eye when shopping. I admit - I always gravitate towards the usual suspects and big beauty names when looking for something new. So, when I was contacted by Natural World to see whether I'd like to try their Brazilian Keratin range, I was half intrigued and half dubious about how the products would perform considering I'd never heard of the brand. Honestly, I have never been so surprised by a haircare range in all my life. With this review, you'll really want to read the whole post!

As soon as the weather starts to feel slightly milder, blue skies are a more regular occurrence and the sunshine starts to creep through the clouds, I can't wait to change my makeup. In Winter, I tend to go for more matte finishes, so in Spring I like to amp up the glow factor and go for more dew. I don't want anything heavy, but I want to look polished and still need a little more makeup than I do when summer has fully flourished.

Winter manages to suck all the life out of my skin. So, in order to avoid looking too ghostly when I'm at my palest, adding a touch of cheek colour becomes an ever more important step in my makeup routine at this time of year. Currently, I have five favourite blushes that I flit between using, depending on my mood and the look I'm going for. As you can see, I tend to wear warmer red, rose and peach tones during A/W, rather than softer pinks which I reserve for spring and summer.

I always get most excited about beauty during the last, few months of the year. What with all the parties and Christmas festivities to dress up for, my beauty routines go into overdrive and I end up re-discovering lots of old favourites, whilst I try to mix up my makeup a bit more than usual. With my current selection focussing on glowing skin, sparkly eyes and bold lips, you can definitely tell that I'm in the festive party mood!
