Welcome to 2012!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are enjoying New Years Day and taking advantage of possibly the last legal day of binge eating and relaxing!

I wanted to share with you my top beauty products from 2011 that I will carry on worshipping using in 2012.

Number 1: Clinique Anti Blemish Soloutions 

Clinique anti-blemish solutions clarifying lotion, cleansing foam and moisturiser.

I started to cleanse, tone and moisturise for the first time in 2011 and started off using this Clinique trio. My skin has never felt so squeaky clean! Really has helped to changed the way my skin looks and feel so will be a must use this year.

Number 2: Morrocan Oil

Moroccan Oil Inense Hydrating Mask &
Moroccan Oil

I have been using Moroccan Oil since February 2011 and it does work! I've used so many hair products which say they will make your hair do X,Y & Z and never do. A bit like does Cheryl Coles hair in the L'oreal ad, is it really that perfect because of their products? Anyway these products do exactly what they say on the tin. I've been using the oil after washing and straightening and using the Intense Hydrating Mask as a conditioner once a week or every other week. I'll be using these products and maybe even treating myself to the shampoo at some point in 2012!

Number 3: Barry M Foil Effects

Barry M Foil Effects in Gold

This is a polish which I will use all year round in some way or other! Check out my post on why I love it here. In summary it's easy to apply, you need minimum coats of it and it just looks great!

Number 4 (last but by no means least): Nars Blush Bronzer Trio

NARS from left to right
Orgasm Blush
Albatross Highlighter
Laguna Bronzer

No words can describe how convenient this little beauty is. All three of the best Nars products kept safe in a little zip compact. These products are a party in a purse and quite possibly one of my favourite products! The highlighter can be used a an eye shadow and bronzer mixed with the blush creates a colour which is to die. What more could you ask for.

What products did you find in 2011 that you will carry on using this year?

10 Simderella Commandments

Thou shall eat cake every Friday. It's important to ensure that at least one day of the week is filled with sprinkles and sugar.  


Thou shall watch Gossip Girl - even if it's just to ponder in to the world of Blair Wardorf her problems are much more interesting than ours.


Thou shall remove all make-up every night before bed. Don't worry when you're dreaming about Chace Crawford, he won't mind.


Thou shall be grateful for what we have - Shelter, food & love.


Thou shan't give up and will go on to conquer dreams and aspirations. The world is what we make of it and we SHOULD make it good.


Thou shall not be fake. Barbie dolls are not 'real' for a reason.


Thou shall keep up with all the latest beauty industry gossip. M.A.C and many other exciting brands ahem*Elemis, Clinique, Sanctuary, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Aveda and NARS* will not admire themselves.


Thou shall read horoscopes when the world is looking grim - They have been written for a reason you know.


Thou shan't make others feel bad about themselves. This is a sin and forbidden. 


Thou shall always give 100% in everything, the world is what we put in it after all.


Happy Wednesday everyone!
