Oh my, it has been a shockingly lengthy time since I have posted anything! I was difficult to think last night of the with most propriety way to sum up the months (aye, months, I’m terrible!) I’ve been musing. and it seems as though the same long and ramble-y blog mail-carrier would be a nightmare to comprehend and write, so I fell back into my default: palaestra! I love my lists, and I’m a tumid believer in the to-do schedule when I need to be fruitful. So, I thought I’d tend a list of my top products/preferred things in Scotland. I guess this is like a monthly dear post, but its been a scarcely any months, so the task is a piece daunting! Anyway, here is my strip of top Scotland products, things I’ve been kind overseas! 

1. Toni & Guy Dry Shampoo: I as a matter of fact had this before I came to Edinburgh, no more than I use it so often that my ponderous can is nearly out, and I’m going to be in want of to purchase a new one early! This is probably the best desiccate shampoo I’ve ever used, and I exercise it lots! When I was traveling a not many weeks ago, I bought the pygmy Batiste one to stick in my purse, and I was excited on this account that everyone seems to use it! However, I was little disappointed. It turned my hair pallid, which the Toni & Guy human being actually doesn’t, and the odor just wasn’t the same. I in fact love this produced because a with child spray at the temples will make your hair look so fresh, and it smells during the time that though you’ve just walked not at home of a salon!

2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (in Light 1): This was a comeliness blogger favorite that I couldn’t wait to application when I got to the UK, having heard with equal rea~n much about it. And all of the reviews were not oblique; this is probably the best concealer for~! Again, it’s something I practice every day, and on lazy days to what I’m doing a quick makeup watch, I will just apply this and not bother with foundation. The product has such good coverage that you don’t distress anything else! Not only is the coverage marvellous, but the way it blends into yours pelt makes your skin look perfect! I’ve been using the human being tube and constantly switching it from my makeup slab to my book bag to my purse, for the cause that it’s something I literally have power to’t go without having on lead! I need to stock-pile a dozen and just have them everywhere!

3. Primark Super Cosy tights: These have been an actual piece of good luck in the chilly Edinburgh mornings and after the proper time-nights, especially for a girl whose dresses consists of mainly skirts and dresses! These close-fitting pantaloons have been keeping my legs discriminating and warm, and even for totality of the wear I get off of them, they are still in absolutely good condition! I am used to buying a couple of tights, wearing them once or two times and then crossing my legs below a rough table or catching them with a nail: I cannot keep close-fitting pantaloons for more than  a week! But these (and wholly of the Primark tights, I’ve noticed) be unconsumed so long, considering I got them back in January! And the most profitably part is the fleecy lining! They improve keep your legs warm without conscious bulky or uncomfortable to wear by means of little dresses. I wish they had a portion like these in the states, for the reason that I can’t picture a winter without them!

4. Kate Moss notwithstanding Rimmel in 107: Again, this is a well-known and loved performance by many, and it is in like manner something that I came her by, and then repurchased because of my affection for it. The lipstick color is so a beautiful dark red, and it has the most profitably staying power. The only problem I esteem is that it leaves my lips a diminutive dry, so I have to tend sure to apply lots of chapstick in front of. But the color is so amazing and rich, and I will unfailingly have compliments on it whenever I waste it, so I had to induce it down as my top products! Although I am with equal rea~n, so excited for spring, I am little sad that all of the fine dark lipsticks will have to spirit. Even though I’ve been adding beauteous corals and pinks to my hoard in anticipation for the warmer months…I am grievous to see the dark colors animation! Can you wear dark red lipstick in July…please?!

5. Soap and Glory Mist You Madly: Call it a weird habit of mine, but I have a passionate affection for spraying scents in my room. It’s like the rapid version of a candle but without the ambiance! I usually buy some of the Bath and Body Works mists, but that I forgot to bring anything in addition, so it was a perfect forgive to once again look at Soap & Glory. I be in ~ with their scents (and there are other of their products further down this inventory) because they’re fresh and soft without being overpowering. And it helps that they be in actual possession of about the cutest packages and returns names ever! So when I was looking despite a spray, I immediately turned to Soap & Glory’s “Mist You Madly”, that I’ve been using like atmospheric ~! It is “a flirty floral body spray” and I guess that’s to the degree that good as any description of it! It has the slightingly powered smell that I feel the whole of of their products have, which is soft and reminds me of old-fashioned makeup, for the re~on that well as a but of a balmy and fruity smell. It’s delicate and fresh and I can’t departure my room without spraying it…is that skilled in witchcraft?! 



6. The Daily Smooth: Body wash is something that I very repeatedly neglect; it’s annoying to be in possession of all slippery, and I hate the feeling that you can’t touch anything or present on clothes because of the sensibility of lotion! However, I know I penury to take better care of my derm, especially in the winter months. So, I told myself that whether I got a nice lotion that I would be excited to use, then I would have existence more likely to use it. Soap & Glory is individual of the brands that I automatically anticipate for whenever I’m in a shop: even if I don’t apprehend what I’m looking for, event in their product descriptions will leap out at me. Everything there sounds and smells in the same state appealing! So, I decided on the Soap & Glory The Daily Sooth material substance lotion. I know its one that isn’t talked nearly very often (I’ve heard loads relating to the body butter, which I extremely nearly bought) but this one fit smelled so amazing, I couldn’t withdrawal it! I don’t know by what means well smells well come across in successi~ the page, but I will try: it smells loving of sweet and citrus-y. The bottle says that it contains “mango ~ off extract, rose hop seed oil and shea butter with fragrant notes of bergamot, blackcurrent, magnolia, freesia, vanilla, and musk.” It smells surprising, and even though I am lull not great at always using lotion, I will definitely use it to a greater degree often now!

7. Sleek Contour Kit (in Light): To subsist very honest, I am not the most profitably at contouring. I usually go by reason of a color that is too vile for my skin and end up through a streak of brown down my put a ~ which is unattractive and not the observe i am going for! But the Sleek Contour small tub has been amazing! Sleek is another company I was dying to try in the UK, and side by side with Soap & Glory, I am always looking at their products when I dress in’t have something in particular in desire. The contour kit has been marvellous because the brown is light and blends easily, what one. gives an amazing effect on your cheekbones. The highlight that comes by it is a nice shimmer (not glister!) and it definitely helps the effect of more-defined cheekbones! I exercise this practically every day, and it elect hopefully last forever, especially since the pigmentation is in such a manner good, you literally only need to reach your brush to the product to become the amount you need! I usually pair this with the Sleek blush in rose gold, and it looks (I judge) amazing!

8. Charles Worthington Dry Texturising Spray: I heard relative to this when I watched Fleur’s upper end high street products, and when Boots does a 3 during the term of 2 promotion on pretty much anything in the fund I would buy, I couldn’t not single out it up! I was so biassed because I’ve wanted to try Oribe, end the price is a bit much for a student, and this unit was about six pounds. I’m usually conditioned on my Toni & Guy ocean salt spray, but as it’s a corpuscular bottle I keep in my purse, I was looking since another product, I picked this up a week since, so it’s a product that I put on’t have quite as much actual trial with as I do with some of the others on this choose, but by my first use I knew it was somebody I would love. it instantly gives constitution to your hair, which is in such a manner important as the ends of my hair are bleached, and have power to sometimes look like they need a boring-tool of life put in them! A small in number sprays at the end through your roots gives the examine of beach-y tousled hair, what one. is basically the daily look I be on the point for!

9. Sleek Palette (Original): Sleek before that time appeared on this list, and it’s a association I know I will be missing when I get back home, inasmuch as the products are so wonderful. This was human being of the first makeup items I bought hither, and I use it all the time. I necessity to build up my collection of their palettes, because they have such pretty colors, only for now my original one has been doing me well qualified! The colors I am usually drawn to are the rose-color and rose gold, mainly because I’m not in such a manner adventurous with my eyeshadows so blue-devils and greens scare me! But the pinks observe so good for a daily mind, either on their own or with a bit of a darker stain in the crease. The other age I started with the Maybelline pretext tattoo in the color Metallic Pomegranate completely the lid and crease, then lightened it through the Sleek pink and it was for a like rea~n pretty. The Palette makes my bound because i will usually  use at in the smallest degree one of the colors in some way in a daily makeup expect. The quality and pigmentation is amazing, and they stay all day. 

10. Sainsbury’s shortbread: I idea the last thing I mentioned should have ~ing a deviation from the norm of quite the beauty products, and this is definitely contrary! I hope it’s okay to throw in a thing so random, but it’s another Scotland favorite. I love Sainsbury’s: it’s to what I do all of my cheer shopping, and whenever I go, I usually right of selection up shortbread. It’s less than a confine in a ~ and it’s so yummy! I had not had shortbread before coming here no more than it tastes so nice! It’s richness with coffee or tea, and I proper have to be careful I slip on’t go through a package as long as sipping tea!

Well, that was a miscreant of a post, and I chance of the desired end that this has been nice to decipher without being too long! I could prattle forever about the products I god of ~! What have you been loving this winter? Is there something I should try, or is there something I mentioned that you friendship/hate?
