Mio Magic!

So I came across this great product, which is great for all you gym bunnies, by a brand called Mio, which is the sister, brand of Mama Mio; a brand targeted for pregnant and nursing woman. However the Mio range is targeted toward health conscious and active people.

The product is called Mio Workout Wonder, this is a invigorating muscle gel. Workout Wonder is designed to go on problem areas pre and post workout, any area that you tend to have aches or pains, it has a cooling effect on the muscle and you can instantly feel a difference. Ingredients include V-Tonic, which is a natural blend of essential oils, which gives a instant long lasting relief for muscles. Horse chestnut and horsetail extracts, which help reduce swelling, this ingredient is also rich in magnesium and can help with muscle recovery. Arnica Montana extract is in there too, which can help reduce pain and inflammation.  This product also has very uplifting and refreshing smell of peppermint and spearmint leaf, it's a great product to have in gym bag.

Workout Wonder is free of parabans, petroleum, synthetic fragrances and colorants, so no nasty’s in there, which will irritate your skin.

"Workout WonderTM is an energy shot for your muscles, ideal before and after any exercise or when you need an instant blast of revitalization.

Dry your nails instantly

Nobody has the time to wait for a manicure to dry, especially at home. You paint your nails then the phone rings, or you decide to have a cup of tea... A top tip to avoid smudging your nails is to dip your nails in ice cold water after you painted them, I usually leave them in for about 5 minutes just to be safe.

Above is my nails drying in my lovely oversized tea cup from Next, which I love!

Below is my nails after I painted and dried them in ice cold water. 

I used Nails INC Markham Square, which is a cream nude with a hint of grey.

I used the Nails Inc Westminster bridge matt topcoat, for a matt finish on my nails. This is a really good buy, you simply put on top of any colour to achieve a matt finish on your nail colour.

Autumn Favourites

With Autumn in full swing and winter well on its way, I have been looking for the right skin care products that will keep my skin looking somewhat radiant. The Espa Optimal ProCleanser is the latest product from Espa. I have been using this cleanser for almost 3 weeks now and it is maintaining my summer glow and my skin is definitely feeling softer. This is a gel cleanser, now gel cleansers do not usually sit well with my skin as I do not have particularly oily skin, so therefore I personally find they can be to stripping for my skin. So when I first started using the Espa Optimal ProCleanser, I was a little bit apprehensive, but I can reassure you I was pleasantly surprised. I won't bore with my opinion for much longer, Here is a break down of the product.

"This Tri-Phase multifunctional gel cleanser, exfoliator and mask will leave your skin feeling beautifully clean, nourished and visibly radiant." According to Espa (2014)

Yes! That is right, you get three products in one, your cleanser, a exfoliator and a mask. Espa claim  "Moringa seed extract cleanses and removes make up." Moringa seed is also a very good skin conditioning agent, which is partly why I think this gel cleanser isn't as stripping as other gel cleansers. Espa also state "Jojoba spheres gently exfoliate". These are little tiny balls in the cleanser, while massaging your cleanser into you skin the jojoba spheres melt and leave your skin nourished. The last key ingredient in the Optimal ProCleanser is Pumpkin enzymes. I love fruit enzymes in  my products, not only do smell great, but they remove dead skin cells and ultimately giving your skin a radiant, healthy glow.

To activate the mask leave on your skin for 15 minutes. 

This is a great multi functional product. 

Next in my Autumn regime is the Espa Hydrating Floral Spafresh Spritzer, now if your anything like me then a toner is one step in your routine that you will often skip, however it is still an important step. Toning helps to close your pores, preventing build up product, which can lead to congested skin and black heads. 

Espa Hydrating Floral Spafresh Spritzer is a product which has lasted a while now, I have had it for a couple months. All of the Espa toners are available in two forms a bottle or a spritzer, I personally prefer a spritzer as a can just very quickly spritz. This  toner is suitable for all skin types, but especially dry and dehydrated skin. There is also a Espa balancing Herbal Spafresh Spritzer, which is also suitable for all skin types, but especially for combination/ oily skin.

Espa Optimal Skin Proserum is a product I can't not live without, I have blogged about it before on my blog, which you read HERE. So I am not going to into too much detail, however this is a must have product, I use it everyday, sometime twice a day.

Espa Skin Radiance Moisturiser is a product which I knew about, but I have never purchased until now. To be honest it does what it says on the tin really, which is all I want out of product. This product contains,

 "Mulberry, Bearberry and Liquorice act together to help visibly brighten and even out skin tone, while Hawaiian Algae dissolves dull cells clean away. Revitalising Meadowsweet gently stimulates cell renewal for fresher, softer skin." Claims Espa (2014)

At the Moment my skin feels great, I am wearing less make up than usual which is always a good thing. 

Espa Optimal ProCleanser - £30

Espa Hydrating Floral Spafresh Spritzer - £19

Espa Optimal Skin Proserum - £48

Espa Skin Radiance Moisturiser - £38

A little Lipstick never hurts: Lipsticks for Autumn/Winter 2014/15

This season bold lips are back! So put your nudes away and dig out your favourite bold lipsticks from last summer. Bold pinks, dark reds, vibrant oranges and metallic earth tones are all over the catwalks for autumn/winter 2014/15. I have picked out three lipsticks which would be great for this season. The first one of favourites is MAC Lustre, second is the classic Chanel Rouge Allure, last but not least is the bold Tom Ford Bitter Sweet.

MAC Lustre  is a lipstick that you may or not be able to tell from the picture that I have had for a while, it is one of my favourites to wear on a casual day but when I want subtle a bold lip, it is important to point out that this shade is not dark. It is very subtle and has quite sheen finish, it is a lot like a tinted balm. This is a great shade for those not brave enough to try something to bold just yet!

This lipstick costs £15.50 and you pick one up in any MAC store or order online through the MAC Website

Ahhhh Chanel Rouge Allure! A beautiful timeless classic from Chanel, this is actually a new one to my collection but one I think every girl needs in here collection. Application for this lipstick is very easy, it does not drag like some other lipsticks, it feels very moisturising and has a lovely finish. I absolutely adore Chanel packaging for lipsticks, as the pop out they do not tend to knock against the lid, which sometimes damage or just make you lipsticks look dirty.

This lipstick is £26 and you can pick one up from most Chanel stations in house of Fraser or Selfridges. 

Tom Ford Bitter Sweet is another one of my personal favourites, this is a great lipstick for the evening, weather it is dinner or going out. Bitter Sweet is my earthy/chocolate brown lipstick. This is definitely a must have for this season, the application is also very similar to the Chanel, very easy to apply and has a very nice smooth finish. Tom ford lipstick packaging is just like the rest of brand glamorous, loud and sexy! A great looking lipstick to have in your purse.

This lipstick is £36 and you can get it from any Tom Ford station in Selfridges or house of Fraser, you can also order it online via the House of Fraser website.
