Aromatherapy Associates Clear Mind Bath & Shower Oil

I felt very priviledged to attend the launch of Clear Mind Bath & Shower Oil at Liberty. Aromatherapy Associates, of whom I am a massive fan, and Liberty have come together and created this amazing collaboration. Not only is the scent amazing, but so is the packaging.

Clear Mind has been created to harness and encourage the effects of mindfulness, an interpretation or meaning which is: 

"Mindfulness is the intentional, accepting and non-judgmental focus of one's attention on the emotions, thoughts and sensations occurring in the present moment, which can be trained by meditational practices that are described in detail in the Buddhist tradition". 

So for me, this sounds like the perfect product for those days when your to-do list has grown in epic proportions, you are not really in the mood for anyone or anything and when you just need a big slab of chocolate and an even bigger glass of wine and a nice soothing bath. One thing Aromatherapy Associates manage to do for me is sort out my mood, there is something about the blend of oils that have the power to click their fingers and oomph, mood change! Breathe Support, which I mention in this post, is the best product I have found to shift a rotten a cold - amazing.

Packaged inside this amazing Genevieve Print by Liberty, which is from the Autumn/Winter 2003 print collection, is my very own initialed bottle - how cool is that?.  The oil itself is a blend of chamomile, which soothes, comforts and emotionally calms; frankincense, to help focus the mind and encourage deep breathing and spiritual awareness; palmarosa, which is a cleansing, balancing and a circulatory stimulant; and bergamot, to uplift, refresh and revive. Putting all of that together makes for one super soothing and relaxing scent which I just adore and it definitely is a de-stresser and it most definitely does calm you down!

The Bath and Shower oil costs £48 and is available exclusively from Liberty from 1 October right here and I think it is worth every penny. If you have never used an Aromatherapy Associates Oil before, all I can say is that a little definitely goes a long way, all you ever need is one capful into the bath water for the oil to work its magic, obviously you can also use it in the shower, but I personally prefer to enjoy the scent whilst relaxing in the bath.  Grab it quick!

The Amazing Seventeen Makeup

SEVENTEEN is one of the very first makeup brands that I tried growing up, it was from 17, as they were then that I bought my very first lipstick and lip gloss. Things have changed a lot since then and they have become a brand which has not only upped there game, but one that has some amazing products. Not only are they always on trend, they are also affordable and great quality to boot.

I recently received an amazing surprise parcel from the lovely people behind the brand, containing some of their best selling products, some of which I use and some of which I hadn't ever tried, so here is what I found within my box:

Define & Conquer Contour Kit in Medium*. £5.99

Attempting to Contour isn't something I have found that easy, I have mastered strobing much better. That said, this handy little kit is not only quite sleek in design but it is also handbag friendly and hosts a decent sized mirror. The formula of this is so creamy and pigmented that it blends with ease without looking orange or dirty. The darker powder helps to define you face whilst the lighter powder helps with definition. It comes with a handy 'How Too' guide for those like me, who still need some practice.

Skin Wow Primer*. £5.99

This is a product I have wanted to try for a while now. I am slightly obsessed with highlighters right now and this one is definitely worthy of its name. You can either use it on its own under make-up to create a nice base or on top of your foundation on cheekbones to give a highlight effect or you can mix it with your foundation to create a dewy effect. For £5.99 this is a fantastic product, one I absolutely love and it is perfect for strobing.

Instant Glow Shimmer Brick*. £4.99

I have raved about this shimmer brick here as a great Bobbi Brown Dupe, but it is an item I use constantly. The Shimmering powder brick contains four different shades which work incredibly well together. Starting with a lighter shade and ending with a dark shade, sweeping your Kabuki Brush across all 4 shades creates a fantastic light or dark bronzing affect, depending upon your preference.

Brows That! Brow Kit*. £5.99

If there is one part of my face that I don't do much with, it is my brows. Now before you frown at me there is a reason. Around 3 years ago, I went to a well known store with a friend for threading but it didn't quite go to plan and I ended up with almost no eyebrows at all! Now three years on and after not touching them, I almost have something to resemble eyebrows. This brow kit is quite something, it contains brow wax, brow powder, highlighting powder, brow sculpting pencil and a brow brush. Add to that a handy 'How to use' guide and a decent sized mirror, you have everything you need to do your brows on the go.

Falsifeye HD Mascara*. £6.99

One item I could never be without is mascara and it is the one thing I never leave the house without. This mascara is a brown black shade which isn't too dissimilar to my own eyelash shade. What I love about it is the wand, it has a lovely long handle but the brush itself is so easy to use between the lashes that it does give some volume, something I need more than length as I have long lashes.

Gel Colours in Hurricane & Irish Coffee*. £3.99 each
Gel polishes are it for me. I can no longer be doing with a polish that lasts for a few days on my nails before chipping. I have Hurricane which is the most stunning shade of blue that ive worn a few times now and it does last for just over a week without chipping. Irish Coffee is a stunning nude shade which is perfect for all occasions and both polishes glide onto the nail, the brush is a perfect size for coverage and I have only ever applied one coat. For just £3.99 they are amazing value for money.

There isn't a single product here that I do not like, it has been so good to find some new amazing products to add to my makeup bag. Have you tried anything from SEVENTEEN lately?
