Milani & L.A. Girl come to the UK!

Hi Beauties, just a quick one to let you know that you can now purchase genuine Milani & LA Girl products directly from their new official UK sites - hurrah! I found out through being subscribed to beautycrowd's mailing list who are unfortunately closing for a while but sent the email to say they're partnering up with both mentioned sites - apparently to give us 20% off on both but no code came in the email and the links aren't working for me (If any readers can help with what's going on with that I'd really appreciate it!) Both sites have free postage on orders over £20. Otherwise, delivery starts at £2.95 on both sites with options available for other methods of shipping.

CLICKABLE LINKS TO SHOP NOW; L.A GIRL | MILANI

I won't be purchasing anything as of yet because I've done too much make up shopping lately as it is but here's what's on my wishlist for when I do.

Milani & L.A. Girl Wishlist by collectionfavourites

♥ The Milani Amore Mattalics Lip Creme in Chromattic Addict and Matterialistic (I sarcastically have Kylie to thank, this and this got me obessing over neutral-goldy metallics all of a sudden lol my bank account is gonna hate me if I give in)

♥ Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer. No idea what shade i'd be but so far all I've heard and seen of it has been good. Admittedly it's the bottle that got me at first.

♥ Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow. This stuff looks magical. I love the shimmer (again the new goldy shimmer obsession kicking in). When I first started wearing make up, bronzing was a must and I kinda miss those glowy old days.

♥ L.A. Girl lip candy... their Matte Pigment Gloss in Dreamy and Velvet Matte Lipsticks in Snuggle and Bliss. Snuggle and Dreamy are colours I'd get the most wear out of and I like Bliss because of what I've seen it appears to be a purple toned bright pink which is one shade I don't have right now.

♥ L.A. Girl Pro HD Setting powder. Again, heard good things and am curious and yet to explore in the area of setting powders as I've never given this part of my make up routine much thought. I've always tended to focus on my base, so foundation and concealer but now believe that setting powders can make all the difference too.

Lip care?

Lip care? by collectionfavourites featuring lip care

A while back I read THIS post on effective lip care products. At the time of reading this I had been using vaseline for about two years. I didn't use it because I liked it, only because I thought it got the job done - temporarily. When I first started using it, I had to keep using it due to it's very short lasting effects. I also didn't want anything containing alcohol so settled for it.
When I read about the EOS being a matte balm and found out it was organic and contained Vitamin E with no petroleum or parabens I became very intrigued and wanted to try it out. I was tired of constantly reapplying vaseline with no real solution and the condition of my lips began to worsen. I wanted something actually good for my lips and Eos fit the description. I went ahead and ordered my sphere from Lovelula.com, an organic and natural beauty web shop with free deliveries on all orders as well as a handy points scheme, do check out their other products as they assure that everything on the site has no SLS's, no parabens and does no animal testing. You can also find Eos in Selfridges stores here in the UK as well as on Amazon and Beauty Bay.

As I started using the Eos balm, I noticed not only the condition of my lips began to improve but also the colour of my lips too. Being South Asian, it's very common to have discolouration around the mouth and on the lips which I do, so anything that will improve that is an immediate favourite for me.  I bought an Eos sphere for both my sisters and it had the same effect on their lips as well. As the beauteabible post also mentioned; it's great under lipstick too.

The only thing I now use vaseline for is to soften the flaking skin on my lips before brushing and then scrubbing with my diy lip scrub, all i do is let it sit for a minute or two and then proceed with the routine.

I always did wonder how petroleum could possibly be good on my skin or lips and now I know for me, it isn't. I'm sure other people love this stuff but I sure am never going back.

L-R: Summer fruit & LE Barbados heat £5.99 from Lovelula.com, Recent purchase Strawberry Sorbet £3.25 from Amazon

Favourite Cleaning Products

Favourite Cleaning Products by collectionfavourites on Polyvore

1.PINK POLKA DOTS! And long lasting! They were just too cute not to have and to my advantage do a lovely job when wiping over surfaces as well as the doors and handles. £1 at wilkos.

2. Particularly favourite sponges because they're bigger than the usual size therefore cover more surface area on dishes and are good for getting right to the bottom of highball glasses rather than pulling out a dish brush. £1 for 10 at wilkos.

3. I love using these with the Astonish cookware cleaner because they're not so harsh on the glass of our electric cooker so i'm not left with scratches when I'm trying to scrub off that overflown milk burn. £0.90 for 3 pack at wilkos.

4. A must have for every kitchen, I like these kind of bristles best although I also keep a softer dish brush for more gentle scrubbing. £2.50 at wilkos.

5 & 6. Both very similar in terms of quality and really good for a quick wipe over with the polka dot cleaning cloth. 5 is only £0.75 at Asda and 6 is £3.00 from asda but often goes on sale for a pound.

7. So this is £2 at waitrose but is often on offer at other places like asda for a pound. The foaming of it is good for leaving to sit on something like a blob of dried jam whilst I take care of other things. It's a brilliant all over cleaner, I like using it on my cupboard and fridge doors.

8. I read the packaging stating "An addictive fragrance of orchid, balanced with hints of violet and lingering musks" and though yeah, whatever.. but I was overconfident with this one because I definitely am addicted to this stuff. It smells amaaazing and does a really good job cleaning table/counter tops as well as metal things such as the loo roll holder or the towel radiator.

9. I cannot stress how much this has changed my cleaning life! I use it on almost everything, from starbucks plastic cup coffee stains to grease covered pots or baking trays. This is my go to for anything giving me a hard time. I use the silver scourers with this shown for the glass on the cooker or the steel scourers for tougher things like grease build up on pots and pans. I actually can't be without this for kitchen cleaning. Best of all it's only £1 at poundland! It lasts a very long time too. Also I never use this alone, I always add a few drops of washing up liquid to whatever type of sponge or scourer I'm using it with.
