Austria || Vienna - Schmetterling Haus...

I recently went on holiday to Austria to visit my family and during that time we went to various places in Vienna so I thought I would share some photos with you. I think I'll do a few small posts with the different places we went as I did take nearly 1000 photos whilst I was there.

This first place is called the Palm House in Schönbrunn in Vienna. I absolutley love this building, if it wasn't so hot in there I would want to live in it. Built in 1882...

We then trekked across Vienna in the burning hot sun to The Schmetterling Haus (The Butterfly House) which was commissioned by the same Emperor so they look very similar. 

If you love butterflies as much as I do then I hope you enjoy the photos I took there...

I know this is a very picture heavy post and isn't what I usually blog about but I really wanted to share these photos with you.

Hope you enjoyed them.

SUMMER PROOF BEAUTY || Non-Greasy Sun Protection for Oily Skin - Garnier Ambre Solaire Face & Body...

Hello everyone, I took a small break from blogging whilst I went on holiday and then it took me a while to get back into the flow of things again, but I'm back and carrying on my Summer Proof Beauty series...

Like most women I like to try and prevent myself from ageing by any means possible, which includes protecting my face from sun damage. Me being who I am, I love the sun and having a tan so I really need to up my game when it comes to protecting my face which is where this sun cream by Garnier Ambre Solaire comes in...

I have finally found a sun cream that works with my oily skin as it isn't greasy and absorbs very fast.

I got mine off of Amazon a few months ago for around £5 (which included a pretty pricey postage cost). I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time but you can get it here from Boots for £3.

It's a pretty small tube where you get 50ml in it which is perfect handbag size or if you're travelling.

The product itself comes out white but doesn't leave any white ghost faceness whatsoever, like I said before it absorbs really well with no stickiness left afterwards.

I wanted to keep this post short and sweet.
I hope you liked it and will try and get back into posting more regularly.

Adore Me || Lashes & Lingerie + Favourite Lipstick...

I'm really looking forward to summer and this piece of lingerie by Adore Me really caught my eye!

This is called the Cleo Contour, I love the bright summer yellow which I think would really pop against healthy tanned summer skin (which I definitely don't have yet!). 

Bring on the sunshine!!

I thought that this set would go well with a no-make up make up look. 

Just perfected natural skin and subtle brown shades of eye shadow with a smoked out lash line. 

Just let the lingerie do the talking...

One of my most favourite lipsticks is Revlon's super lustrous lipstick in 'Mink'. It is a beautiful neutral brown which is not too light and not too dark. It is my go to colour on most days. I feel this lipstick gives this overall look a bit of an edge. If not just add some lip balm for soft lips.
I like strong brows but you can make yours more subtle than I have in the picture above.

Head over to their website to check out the other sexy lingerie they do!

Magnitone Review (*) || #SummerSkin...

'You are 7 days away from incredible skin, with a softer, smoother complexion that looks and feels different.'

Magnitone sent me one of their cleansing brushes called the Magnitone Lucid (*) for testing and reviewing after I was part of a Twitter party hosted for bloggers by The Bloggers Hub.

I was super excited to receive my Magnitone Lucid as I had never used a cleansing brush before.

I chose the colour Sunshine Yellow as summer is coming up and I thought it could brighten my skin as well as my mornings.

As soon as I got it in the post I put it on charge until it was fully charged and then that night started using it as part of my night-time routine.

I take off my make up as I normally would, then I put cleanser all over my face and used the Magnitone on it's normal setting to cleanse my face. After which I just rinsed my face and carried on with my routine of moisturising etc. The cleanser I used is the cleansing bar I received from Sebamed which you can read here.

The Magnitone states that it will help wake up skin and leave it clearer, healthier and brighter looking, whilst evening and smoothing skin tone. 

In the box you will get the Magnitone Lucid (of course), a magnetic charger with a normal plug and an adapter (which is great as I am going on holiday next month), a protective cap for the brush head plus instructions which were very helpful and easy to understand.

This product has a lovely shape, is very easy to hold and fits well into the palm of my hand. It comes with a brush head that is deep cleaning but gentle on the skin.

Below you can see it's charging 'Clink', an egg shaped magnet which charges it. Being magnetic it makes the Magnitone waterproof which means you can take it in the shower with you. The charge will approximately 2-3 weeks,

I used the Magnitone every evening for the first 3 nights on it's normal setting and then after that used it both in the morning (in the shower) & evening but on it's sensitive setting.

It has one button which you press to turn it on to the deep cleaning setting, press again for it's sensitive setting and once again to turn it off. It also has a timer so that you don't over do it. It is a 1 minute setting which beeps every 20 seconds to tell you to change the section of your face that you're cleansing. Start at the forehead and then do each cheek. After the 1 minute is up it will automatically switch itself off.

It works using Active Electromagnetic Technology with 10,000 pulsed oscillations p/min -
'More gentle and effective cleansing and exfoliation action (vs. hand washing).

Here are some pictures of my face before I started using the Magnitone Lucid Cleansing Brush.

And here are the pictures of my skin after a week of using it.

I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin and I think you can notice the change in the pictures above. After the week of using it my skin is smoother, more even and I think my blemishes healed faster through using it.
I loved the fact it has a timer, it is very easy to use, I will carry on using it as part of my beauty routine and it will definitely be coming on holiday with me.
