Jurlique : Rose Collection Picks

I told you they'd be more of this brand coming your way! If you haven't seen my review of Jurlique's amazing Rose Silk Finishing Powder then click here and have a cheeky read!
This brand is a new one in my life and after falling in love with the finishing powder it wasn't long before I was hooked on these other Rose beauties from their collection.
Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Daily Moisture Balancing Serum*, Rosewater Balancing Mist* & Rose Love Balm*.
First up I'm going to talk about the newest product in the rose range and that is the daily serum. 
This product comes in a gorgeous glass bottle with an easy pump action. I've found just one pump is enough to cover my whole face - I started with two pumps and it just seemed too much. 
It has the lovely floral rose scent which, like I've said before, I find so relaxing and calming.
 I have been using this every morning (I know it says morning and night but I have another night serum I use) under my Nivea Hydration primer and it gives my skin a soft feel and lovely healthy glow.
My skin has felt hydrated and thankfully less oily! This is a product I'm definitely going to carry on using throughout the summer! 
It is £40 which for me is slightly expensive for a 30ml bottle but with only using 1 pump a day I know this one bottle will last me months so it does seem totally justified.

Now onto the Rosewater Balancing Mist....
This is product that is just made for summer and hot weather! 
A light mist in a petite 50ml glass bottle. This stuff is so refreshing and fresh on the skin and really wakes you up. 
The rosewater scent is beautiful and it is perfect to spray on your face and neck/chest area when you need to a quick pick me up! 
I have been lovely using this in the evenings, especially when I get home from work as a refreshing wake up call!
This is also great if you work indoors with alot of a/c too or a prone to getting dry skin that needs hydrating! The mist is £16.50 and would also be perfect for taking on holiday!
Lastly we have the Rose lip balm! This was the product I was uneasy about trying initially,  I just wasn't sure about having the potent rose scent as a lip product!
After trying it out though it is alot more bearable than I imagined! This balm is pretty thin so just leaves a slight gloss to the lips but the real bonus is how soft it makes your lips - this is perfect for your handbag to carry round all the time - especially if your prone to dry, chapped or sore lips!

So there we go, some more beauts from Jurlique - I am now dying to try out the rest of their products, I've been on their website and my wishlist is never ending!
Have you tried anything from Jurlique? Let me know what your favourite products are!

I'm a Beauty Blogger, Get Me Out of Here!

I love a good tag post .... and I love I'm a Celeb - so when the lovely Katie from Subtle Coral tagged me to do this post- I'm A Beauty Blogger Get Me Out Of Here - I couldn't wait to get writing!
I've been thinking about doing a new tag post recently and this one seemed perfect - quick, fun and easy , I love both reading and writing posts like this!
No products? Stuck in a jungle? Facing my fears? What would I do?!

1) You can only take ONE product into the jungle (aka your luxury item). What would you choose and why?
One? ... okay, I'm not sure on this jungle thing! I think I'd say my tangle teezer - I can't stand the feeling of my hair being knotty, even if it's on top of my head!

2) What would be your main pre-jungle worry?
Oh without a doubt.... SNAKES. My biggest fear in life - I don't think I would actually sleep if I was there! Also the toilet situation would freak me out a little.....eww.

3) You only have five minutes to get ready before going into the jungle, what would be your quick beauty routine?
Mascara (although this may just be cried off if I'm sky-diving...) , moisturise my whole body (of course something with an SPF), French plait my hair -Katniss style, a nice pink lipgloss, DEODORANT, brush my teeth & add some of my fake bake shimmer brick to my cheeks! (Yes, I CAN do all of that in 5 minutes!)

4) Last year we saw Helen Flanagan wearing her hair in a top bun. What would be your signature hairstyle?
I think it would definitely be either a bun (quick, easy, comfortable) or like I said before the french plait. I'm always wearing my hair like Katniss to work - I can do it s quickly and it just stays out of the way all day and I don't have to re-do it, perfect for jungle life I'd say!

5) For moral support, which female celebrity would you like to be in the jungle with you?
Someone like Jenna Marbles so I could be silly and stay entertained and happy all the time! Oh she's also a massive girl crush so looking at her would probably make me happy that I was only eating rice and beans! #hottie! or obviously Jennifer Lawrence - she just seems awesome. 

6) Everyone’s given a role in the camp. What lifestyle skill would you bring to the jungle?
Lifeskill.... lifeskill.... hmm.....kind of lacking in those! Maybe seeing the funny side in all situations! I'd like to think I could be there to help keep everyone positive and happy! I also like being quite creative so maybe that could help around the campsite! I once used a hanger as a bottle opener dontcha know (genius)! I'd love to say cooking or cleaning but alas.... I'm not the best!

7) What one thing about being a beauty blogger sometimes makes you want to scream ‘Get Me Out Of Here’?
Time! I work full-time... and also like having a social life (duh!)- so having enough time to blog as much as I have planned/want to can be hard! I WISH it could be my job - that would be living the dream! 

8) Challenge – This is a once in a life time opportunity. You’re up for a trial to face your fears or try something new, what would you choose to do and why?
Try something new? I would love to do a sky-dive I think. It looks like nothing else and everyone I've ever spoke to who has done one said they loved it - I've always wanted to be able to fly (but that episode of Hollyoaks that time did kind of put me off.....)! I think for me aswell just being out in the middle of a jungle with no contact with the outside world would be a challenge faced in itself!

I tag Liza, Katie, Jo, Megan, Jessica, Rosie, Ellie to head to the jungle next!
