 Miss Patisserie Trio Of Puds £10: As much as I love Lush but sometimes they don't always have what I want. This trio from Miss Patisserie however does. Coming in at £10, you receive three full sized bath bombs that you'll revel in after a long day or too much turkey.

I can't get over how inexpensive this is from such a big brand such as Clarins. 

Bayliss And Harding Pink Prosecco Boxed Body Wash £6: If the other Bayliss and Harding Pink Prosecco gift idea in this guide doesn't rock your boat then maybe this bottle body wash will do.

Sure they're not going to do a lot for your body but they are pretty and are definitely going to give your bath a little something extra.

 Bayliss And Harding Pink Prosecco Mini Set £8.50: Everyone associates with Bayliss and Harding with older ladies but they've reached out to a different age range with their Pink Prosecco range. If you know someone who's favourite tipple is prosecco then this five piece bathing set is a sure win.

Review: Collection Colour Corrector Concealers

Colour correcting is something I've tried in the past and never gotten on with. It's either never worked or shown through anything I've applied over top. So when Collection launched their own Colour Correctors I was both intrigued and apprehensive. They've sat in my collection for the last few months but it hasn't been until recently that I've started using them and loving them.

There are three in the collection, a lilac, a lemon and a green. I only have the lemon and the green because they were the only ones that I thought needed. They're part of the Lasting Perfection range so you know they're going to last ages on the skin and give great coverage whilst letting skin breath and still be skin.

The Lemon corrector is aimed at reducing the look of dark circles as well as any blue tones. At a quick glance I confuse it with the Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair but when you put the two together you can definitely tell the difference. For a while I dismissed this and said it didn't work but recently it has really been wowing me. A little goes a long way and once blended out with a finger, it gives a brightened look which is only enhanced when you add concealer. I always put it right in the inner corner where my dark circles are darkest and concentrate on keeping as much of the product there as possible. Then and only then do I take it to the outer edges where I don't need it as much, unless it was a very late night.

The Green Corrector aims to reduce the appearence of redness caused by blemishes or roseaca. You don't need a lot of this, a little really does go a long way. This came in handy when I had a real problem with blemishes last month. It reduced the redness on and around the blemish and wasn't visible once I'd blended my foundation out over top. I wouldn't suggest going over the top with this product because it makes it harder to blend out and unless you have a very high coverage foundation to cover the green hue it leaves behind is likely to show through. I found placing a small dot where you need it then blending it out with a finger is the perfect combination to disguise redness.

Initally when I tried these correctors I hated them, they didn't disguise what I wanted them to, they showed under foundation and even made one of my foundations break up over top and leave it looking patchy, almost the same look as when foundation sticks to a patch of dry skin. However when I dug them out of my collection and started to try them again I was surprised to find that they actually did work. I think a lot of it was my own fault and not the products. A lot of it was me applying too much product and not blending it out properly whereas now I've found the way that works for me and allows the product to do it's best on my skin. I've had a lot of issues with redness over the last month and on the days where it's been at it's worst, the green corrector has been a life saver. It may seem scary looking in the tube but when in fact it's on the skin, it's not as intimidating as you first believe.

They have a very similar formula to the Lasting Perfection Concealers but aren't heavy or pore clogging. It does mean though that they are long lasting and won't disappear after a few hours leaving behind patches of where it's been. It does however mean that you're going to get great coverage that works to disguise, correct and conceal any imperfections you're looking to correct. Out of all the high street correctors about at the moment I'd say that these from Collection are some of the best. They're pigmented, creamy, easy to blend and don't cost the earth. And because you can buy them individually instead of a kit like other correctors, it means you can pick which corrector you need most, instead of spending more money on a palette where the majority of the shades are going to go to waste.

Review: Optimum Ice Wine Eye Cream

Eye cream is one product I always find needs changing reguarly. Cleansers, toners, serums and moisturiers are something I change because I want to whether it's for a new product or because I'm bored of a product. Eye creams I have to change reguarly because they just stop working. This year alone I've gone through three eye creams before I found this one which thankfully is still working for me.

The Optimum Ice Wine Eye Cream is designed to hydrate, firm and smooth the under eye area. It's ingredients include Vitamin E, Olive Oil and Swiss Ice Wine which work together to smooth, tighten, firm as well as de puff the under eye area. It's metal applicator is both cooling and soothing on the skin and makes it the perfect product after a late night.

 The metal applicator distributes just the right amount of product and is incredibly soothing and cooling on the skin. It's perfect for those mornings when your eyes need that little something extra, especially if you've have a late night or watched a weepy film. And the smooth applicator can also be used to distribute the product without pulling or tugging at the thin under eye skin. Pop it in the fridge and it'll be even more cooling and soothing on the skin, it's results instantaneous.

I love this eye cream, I've tried higher end eye creams and more budget friendly ones and none have worked as well as this one. It's cool metal applicator works to soothe and depuff my under eye area whilst it's complex of ingredients work to hydrate and soften my under eye area whilst simultaneously reducing the appearence of my dark circles. And it has done the same thing everyday since I started using it. This hasn't stopped working or showing results and I've been using this for a good two months. By now with other eye creams the results aren't there anymore and instead of hydrating the under eye area, they're in fact drying it out, causing make up to look powdery and somewhat cakey.

Whilst this eye cream isn't the most inexpensive one on the market it's also not ridiculously overpriced. This sits on the same price scale as Loreal and Olay but compared to Olay eye creams I've tried this actually works and works well. My under eye area has never looked this good before and it's all down to this product. I'd happily pay full price for this cream but it can always be found on a half price offer or buy one get one free at Superdrug. If you're in the market for a new eye cream but don't want to pay the earth then I'd recommend checking this out.

Review: Rosie For Autograph Rose Gold EDP

Back last month I was casually strolling through Marks and Spencers when I spotted a new release from the Rosie For Autograph Range. I immediately whipped out my debit card and brought it, even though my bank balance was crying at me to stop shopping. And I haven't been able to stop wearing this which is both good and bad. Good because it means that this perfume is divine but bad because it's only a limited edition fragrance and I don't want to use it all up and not be able to get another bottle.

The Rosie For Autograph Rose Gold EDP is a limited edition fragrance to celebrate five years of Rosie Huntington Whiteley's collaboration with Marks and Spencers. It's advertised as evoking the feeling of a cosy night in by the fire, a different take than that of her other fragrances. It's light, floral yet elegant and classic, something that can always be found in Huntington-Whiteley's releases.

Centered around the classic Rose Centifolia scent that can be found in all of her fragrances, Rose Gold also mixes notes of bergamot, vanilla, freesia and musk. It's light yet spicy and can be smelt on both the skin and clothes for hours after you've applied it. It's not ridiculously heady or overpowering and can be worn during both day and night. It's feminine, classic, elegant and even a little sexy, something every product in the Rosie For Autograph range makes you feel. It's one of my favourite things about the collaboration as a whole as well as the fact that everything she has released has never failed or disappointed me in the slightest.

As you saw in my October Favourites I haven't been able to get enough of this product. I really need to slow down or this is going to be empty quicker than I'd like it to be. It's perfect for during the day but can also be worn during the evening, it's warm amber notes giving it that little spice which takes it from day to night. I like layering it alongside her other fragrances, especially her Nuit EDP.as it's deeper musk notes really accentuates the spicier notes in Rose Gold. And it really lasts, I sprayed this on a jumper and could still smell it on their the next day when I went to put in the wash. If you get a chance to give this a smell then I really suggest you do, you may find yourself buying it before you realise what you're doing.

Review: Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Bubble Sheet Mask

To say I got excited when I saw that Nip and Fab had released a range of sheet masks would be an understatement. I could have easily brought the entire range but reined myself in and only picked up two of them. However I forgot to picture the Dragon's Blood Hydrogel Mask so have had to forgo adding it to this post. However I remembered to photograph this mask before I used it.

The Glycolic Fix Bubble Sheet Mask is enriched with Charcoal and 2% Glycolic Acid. The oxygen bubbles work to cleanse, rexturise and purify skin whilst looking utterly hilarious on the face.

It only takes ten minutes to work and starts working as soon as you take it out of the packet. It gives skin a subtle tingle and sounds like you've stuck a ton of rice kripsies to your face but neither sensation is unpleasant. Once ten minutes have passed and the bubbles have risen quite significantly then you remove it, rub in the remaining bubbles and then rinse skin with warm water. When you take it off it may seem like you're wasting product because there are still bubbles on the mask but these bubbles are prove that the mask has worked.

This is the first bubble mask I'd tried and I wasn't too sure what to expect from it. As I said it did make skin tingle but it wasn't an uncomfortable sensation and it didn't leave my skin feeling stripped or irritated in any sense. When I removed it I was quite impressed by how soft and smooth my skin felt. I usually have a little bit of texture along my jaw but after using this mask it was not completely gone but dimished enough for my liking. I actually came back to writing this post the day after I used this mask as I wanted to see if any blemishes or irritation appeared overnight. And I'm very happy to say that my skin looked clearer, felt softer to the touch and there were no blemishes or irritation. I had a feeling that this mask wouldn't react badly with my skin as it works well with the other products in the range but with my skin having been troublesome lately I was a bit dubious.

There are a couple of things that I find a little disappointing with this mask. The first is that their mask is called their Extreme Glycolic Bubble Mask but only contains 2% Glycolic Acid whereas the rest of their Extreme Glycolic Range contains 5% and up. And the second is the price, now I know that Nip and Fab are one of the higher priced skincare ranges on the market but think this mask/range of masks is a little overpriced. I tried the Dragon's Blood Hydrogel Mask and found it highly disappointing. The worst bit was that it cost £7.50 and it didn't seem to do a lot for my skin. This mask comes in at £5.50 and whilst I like the results I don't think I'll be rushing out to repurchase another soon, unless it's on a half price deal.

Review: B Face Masks

If you've been reading me for a while now you'll know I love a good face mask. I'm always on the lookout for new releases. So when I saw the B had branched out and added face masks to their skincare range, I obviously picked a couple up.

There are three masks in the range, each designed to work on all skin types. I however only picked up the two I thought my skin would benefit from more.

The first was the B Detoxed Mask. It's a charcoal based mask, containing charcoal powder that works to delve deeper into pores and clear out any and all impurities that might be hiding in the skin. It's a clay based mask, containing Koalin which is one of the more nourishing clay ingreidents found in masks. This gets light as it dries and you can see where it's working on certain blemishes as those spots will remain darker in colour.

The other mask is the B Glowing Mask. This contains Koalin and a complex of fruit extracts to loosen and remove any dead skin cells, leaving behind clear glowing skin. This works really quick and doesn't have to be left on for the recommended ten to fifteen minutes, five minutes would be suffice.

I want to like this masks but I have a feeling they've not worked well with my skin and are part of the reason I've been having a few skin issues. I used the B Detoxed mask one day and had a set of fresh blemishes the next day. The same stands with the B Glowing mask. I used it this weekend just gone and I can feel several small under the skin spots along my forehead and down my nose. Now I don't think it's the ingredients that are causing my skin to flare up after each use, I believe it's the fragrance. My skin is very sensitive to fragrance and these masks have quite a chemical scent to them. I didn't expect my skin to react the way it has but I definitely think these have had something to do with my recent skin issues. For this alone I'll probably won't be reaching for these again or at least on a regular basis. I'm not to sure if they're completely to blame for my blemishes but they definitely haven't helped and I don't feel like putting my skin through that again.

However if your skin doesn't react to fragrance then these masks might be right up your street. They're very remniscent of the Loreal Pure Clay masks both in ingredients, price and appearence. If you can't get your hands on these then definitely try the Loreal masks, they're the same price and work effectively on the skin without causing any irritation. I'd like to say these masks are a breakthrough on the high street but they're not and I'm quite glad I didn't pay full price for them. If it come to choosing between these and the Loreal Pure Clay when you're browsing, I'd definitely say go for the Loreal. You won't be paying any extra but you'll be getting better results with each use.
