Hey! :D
First of all, I am going to dedicate tonight's blog post to my friend Katrine, as we came up with the title together! She coined the phrase, I asked for permission to use it! haha So, yeah. You'll also hear about Katrine next week as we're going to watch the Christmas lights being turned on! I'm so excited. OH! You'll want to know where The Fear Of The Eggnog Latte came from!! Oops! Well... we've been discussing the starbucks christmas drinks for a while now, and the only one we haven't tried is the Eggnog. We've looked up reviews online, we've thought about it, mulled it over, but when it comes down to it; we both think it sounds wierd! haha! So, have any of you tried it?? Let us know! :D
Anyway, as I mentioned, we're going to see the Christmas lights next week, which also marks the start of Late Night Shopping; the first of the Christmas music has been heard in shops and at work; Secret Santa has been chosen at School and Work; Christmas Shopping will start as soon as I get paid (of course :P )aaaaaand.... THE COCA-COLA ADVERT HAS BEEN SIGHTED!!!
It's official. I'm sorry. I cannot contain myself any more.
*bursts into song*
JINGLE BEllS, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE ALL THE WAYYYYYY!

Christmas Blog: #1
Hello,
I decided that during November and December, I am going to blog once a week at least on the arrival of Christmas Cheer. I've waited until November as I think if I'd mentioned the words 'Christmas Cheer' any time before now, I think I might've been lynched! :P
So:
#1:
Well, we've had the Christmas Gifts out on the shelves at work for 3 weeks now and we had the first of the Christmas Music on at work last weekend, aaaand we also have the Christmas lights going on in town next Wednesday! Yup. The 17th! Haha, I'm really happy about it as I love all things Christmas, but apparently not everyone shares my views! ;) ;) (Bah humbug Tuesdays and all that :P )
There're also more and more adverts on TV with Christmassy themes or advertising Christmas presents, but we have yet to see and M&S or a Coca-Cola advert so it's ok, it's not really Christmas yet! :P
I was also given a copy of Marie-Claire by the librarian today, and it's really good! I was really impressed by the variation in it, but it did baffle me that it said on the front cover 'December 2010'. It's November people! It was giving Christmas party and Christmas dinner advice and everything! i know some people aren't all that fond of Christmas but please, for those who like it, don't rush the best time of year! :P
I think I'll leave it there tonight,
Ho,Ho,Ho ;)

The Products That Have Changed My Skin
Hello Blogworld!
As you saw in the title, I have found the products that I currently feel like I want to use FOREVER! I will be adding another product to this routine in the coming week that I have had a tester of, so I will let you know about that of course :)
But, for now, the products are:
Buche De Noel Fresh Cleanser by LUSH
So, what can I say? I LOVE this product!! It smells AMAZING! Like marzipan, but not as overpoweringly sweet, which is good! :) It has almonds in it (hence the marzipan) which are ground down and provide really gentle exfoliation; there's also brandy added to stimulate and tone your skin without being harsh and leaving you feeling tight; you've also got fresh mandarins and dried cranberries for gentle exfoliation, nutrient benefits and Christmassy smell.
That last point leads me on to the downside of this product: it's a limited edition Christmas product. What the heck?? I finally find my favourite cleanser/ exfoliator and it's limited edition! Needless to say, I will be stocking up.
I just love the way my skin feels baby soft after using this every morning, without feeling oily AT ALL! I just can't rave enough. Oh, and it's £5.50 for a huge pot of it which I have been using for 3 weeks and I'm not even half way through yet! Win-win.
Celestial Moisturiser by LUSH
Again, it was love al first try. :) this moisturiser contains natural vanilla absolute, cocoa butter, almond oil and almond milk which give it both it's yummy smell and soothing properties. It is great for sensitive skin, dry or combination skin, but I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin, simply because I think it would be too rich for you. However, it does sink into your skin really quickly and makes it feel immediately hydrated. I also find it gives my skin a gorgeous glow and makes a fabulous, smooth base for my makeup. It costs £10.25 for a pot, but so far, I'm finding I hardly need any to cover my face. I looked up reviews which claimed it lasted much longer than their normal moisturiser, but I will keep you updated on how long it does actually last for me.
Overall, this combination of products has worked wonders for my skin! I did a 4 day trial when I went on holiday of wearing no makeup (yes, me!) and using these morning and night and ALL my spots cleared up! My skin was completely smooth, no bumps, dry patches or spots! I was amazed. Unfortunately, come Monday morning, the slap came back and so have a couple of spots and bumps, but much less than before, so it's still a win, I think! I hope you enjoyed this post, see you soon in my October Favourites Video, hopefully going up tomorrow! :D
