OK, so this is becoming a bit of a pain in the neck! I can NEVER leave the house without having my trusty products with me at all times and if I ever forget to bring these important essentials then I’m moody for the rest of the journey, my partner can sometimes keep me occupied like ‘look JB, a skin care sale!’, and that tends to calm me down. Oh, and if your wondering why my other half calls me JB that’s my nickname - I know, weird but I like it!

So, here are my MUST HAVE Pocket Essentials;

You can buy L’Occitane Shea Moisturising Organic Lip Balm here

Lip Balm - I cannot stand having dry, cracked lips, it really does get on my tits! I think it’s a bit of OCD coming out of me but then again dry lips really don’t look attractive. I like to change lip products as I feel they become in-effective if your only using the same one all the time – like pro-longed use of the same skin care products, your skin will get used to that product. I have been giving L’occitane 10% Shea Butter Lip Balm a whirl and I’m quite impressed with it; long lasting and comforting whilst smelling absolutely delicious.

Another one I would highly recommend is the Omorovicza Perfecting Lip Balm which I have recently reviewed here. Ridiculously priced but boy it delivers!

Purchase Menaji CAMO Concealer here

Concealers! ALWAYS keep one in the back pocket on my travels, even if I’m walking to my local supermarket I cannot be without one – my partner has even drove me back home because I’ve forgotten to pick it up - he’s very understanding. I must be cursed because if I don’t take it, I break-out and if I have it on me, guess what? No break-outs - very odd! So my choice for a concealer is Menaji CAMO Concealer for Men - Bloody brilliant stuff, It’s basically bullet-proof! Available in 3 different tones, I use the lightest shade – grape-seed oil based, infused with vitamins while providing an SPF of 8 - photo-friendly!

Laidbare Sunflower Hand Cream available here

While the weather is still looking grey and dull with no sign of a spec of sunshine, that frosty chill in the air is still about because after all, we are expecting snow in February. I’ve discovered a light hand cream that deeply nourishes whilst being non-sticky, naturally rich in shea butter, sunflower oil and vitamin C - this velvety, comforting-smelling cream instantly absorbs into the skin leaving your hands in full working order.
