Imperial Leather Foamburst Body Wash.


I've always loved the Imperial Leather Foamburst body washes, they smell amazing and feel really luxurious.
I would never normally choose a ginger and orange scented product but I was in Morrisons a few weeks ago and there had been an explosion on the isle (a small child had emptied one of the cans all over the shelves and floor), and it smelt so good! I had to buy some.

The fragrance is so strong, and is mostly a spicy ginger smell than orange, it's really nice to use on a morning if you struggle getting up like me. It's really wakes me up and the foamy consistency feels very luxurious and such a treat that is affordable!

Overall this is one of my favourite shower gels/ body washes! I definitely recommend this scent particularly if you like Origins Ginzing moisturiser as it's a similar smell! I also love the Green Tea and Jasmine scent which is much more girly and floral. 
I'm always buying this product and it's regularly on offer so won't break the bank! Like I said it's a real everyday treat!

Thanks for reading! Do you have a favourite Imperial Leather scent?

Estee Lauder's DayWear Advanced Multi-protection Anti-oxidant Creme


I am a huge fan of Estee Lauder, if I had to pick one brand to use for the rest of my makeup days, I think Estee Lauder would definitely be it (that's quite a bold statement for me haha). 
I recently got a sample of this day cream and instantly fell in love. 
My skin is combination and fairly oily through the t-zone so I tend to be really fussy when it comes to moisturisers as I have had some disasters in the past including breakouts and makeup meltdown.
I use the normal/oily version, although there is also one that is aimed at dry skin as well.


I love the packaging in particular as it is a nice weighty jar and looks quite pretty sat on my dresser. 
It's a fairly rich cream, with the typical 'DayWear' range scent of cucumbers which I find really nice and refreshing first thing in the morning, however I can imagine some with quite sensitive skin may find this an irritant. Some of the 'DayWear' line in the past has also irritated my eyes but so far I have had no problems.
I also love the fact it has an spf of 15 as I always struggle to find spf's that do not irritate my skin!


The only time I do not reach for this is if I am planning to go foundation free as I have found that by the middle of the day you can start looking quite oily. 
When buying moisturiser I always try to find something that will hydrate my skin without breakouts, and major oiliness. I feel that this works perfectly along side my double wear foundation, which can sometimes be quite drying when wearing it for a full day. 
I feel the main downside to Estee Lauders DayWear cream is the price as many would probably not want to fork out £40 for a face cream.
However they are always very helpful at counters with giving samples and this product regularly features when a counter is on 'gift' (free products given when you buy two or more items). 
Personally I will definitely continue to purchase this as I'm a huge fan, and I would recommend to any body looking for a new high-end face cream.
Thank you for reading.
