My Beauty Birthday Wish List

I love September, not only do I find this is one of the most beautiful months of the year as the summer goes into autumn. Sept also sees my birthday. I will be 31 this year and I so do not feel I have reached my 30's at all. My head still thinks I am in my 20's and young lol.
Now as my regular readers now, I have recently had a baby, and unfortunately due to some problems we have been having, and also having my 5 year old home for the summer hols, my beauty blog has been a bit slow. So I do apologise but now that school is back on, and things are getting better with LO I plan to get back on track with this.

So I thought I make a fun post today and as seeing my birthday is at the end of the Month ( 28th ), I am going to create a wish list of products I would like to receive.

1) First on my list has to be something  I can not live without at the moment, especially with the lack of sleep I am getting and that is my favourite eye cream by Biotherm - Blue Therapy for the Eyes. It does wonders to your eye area and erases dark circles.

2) I would love to have a Spa Day. I never have had one and right now, I certainly could do with some downtime and spend a few hours just having some time to myself and relax.

3) As I get older, I am getting more concerned about the hair on my face and as I seem to be allergic to the face creams that get rid of face hair ( yep, I have had some horrible reactions to them ). I need a tool that can do it without out any problems. So I am thinking a NO NO? 


 4) I really need some mascaras, this is one product I have to wear each day even if that's all I put on after my skincare routine.
So a good mascara ( or a year's supply LOL ) would be nice.


5) Would love a new wardrobe by MINT VElVET, their clothes are gorgeous and makes any mum feel yummy again.

 6) I love my showers, I shower every day and so always need a wash of some sort. The Molton Brown - Bathing Treasures Set would be perfect for trying out some new scents with a collection of 12 miniatures.



7) I love trying out new skincare products and I have good things about this company. Anything from here would be a great gift - NUXE

 8) As gift subscription to a beauty box would be fab too. I love trying out new beauty products and what could be better than to receive a box or two.  There are a few available - Birch Box, Be-Box, glossybox, lovemebeauty,  to name a few.


9) I would like to get my teeth whitened, I have tried a number of toothpastes that are supposed to make your teeth whiter but they don't seem to make them as white as I thought they would. However, I would prefer to get this done via my dentist or a dentist than home kits or salons.

10) Finally,  I would love to go on one of those Fit Boot Camps to get my post baby body back in shape. As much as I tell my self beauty is from within, you still have to feel comfortable in your own skin, and with having two kids my thoughts about body isn't great and gets me down at times. Although I am not fat in any way shape of form, I am very conscious of my baby belly and the baby weight I have put on.

Lack of sleep = poor health/skin

They talk about how a good nights sleep does wonders for you health and with having a new baby, I can certainly say that the lack of good sleep has caused number of issues with my health and skin.

At first the lack of sleep didn't show , it was only 6 weeks in that my eyes started to look terrible, with big dark shadows appearing. It didn't help that I had run out of my favourite eye cream ( Biotherm Blue Therapy ) either which would have stopped these horrible bags appearing. However, I have since managed to get a good sample of the eye cream and within days of using it again my bags have disappeared.  Now 3 weeks on from using the cream and using it every day my eyes are super bright which I really need a the moment as my sleep is still being interrupted by the little one.

The lack of sleep and the fact I am constantly on the go with having a 5 year old and 9 weeks old to look after my health has come to ill affects too. Not sure if its a cold or flu or something in between but for whole of this week, I have an awful head full of blocked up/runny/sniffy nose, a headache, feeling of run down and my parts of my body aching.

My skin, although I do look after it very well has seemed to have suffered too, whether that is again though lack of sleep or my hormones sorting themselves out, or mixture of both but for the first time in a good year, I have spots and my skin feels dry and bumpy. Yet my skin routine has always been the same, cleanse with electronic brush, tone, serum/oil, moisture and than exfoliate/mask at least once a week.

The strange thing, and I sure it is just people being nice, but I still seem to get a lot of comments on how well I am looking!
