Sebamed Skincare
I have always had sensitive skin, that is very prone to eczema. There are a lot of products where even though they smell incredible they don't always agree with my skin especially my face. So i am always really choosy with my skincare especially facial products.
When I heard about Sebamed I was interested in taking a look at their products, their products all have a lower ph value which means that it is less drying and irritating to sensitive skin which is perfect for me
These were the products they they very kindly sent me, I have been using them for a couple of weeks to get a better feel for them.
The item I have got the most use out of has to be the lip balm this time of year is awful for my lips they dry out so easily so have been keeping this in my bag and it has been working wonders. It doesn't smell or taste of anything really, its just moisturising and stops me getting chapped lips in this cold weather.
The next item is the anti dry day defence cream. I have been using this as a base under my foundation for my day to day wear. It has been working great it keeps my skin moisturised but doesn't leave my skin too greasy and my makeup sliding off!! Again it doesn't have a scent to it really would say its similar smell to aqueous cream really.
The final product is the cleansing bar, I have normally stayed away from bars of soap, but was eager to try this from Sebamed, and again it left my skin feeling really clean but at the same time hydrated? If that makes any sense! It was great to use.
I am going to have a look into more of their products, you can check out more of their products here:

Pixi's Holiday Collection
I was lucky enough to be sent this lovely package from Pixi this is part of their holiday collection, and I had been so excited to giv these products a go!
This package included the Pallette Rosette which is beautifully packaged in their lovely green packaging. It includes 8x eyeshadows 3x brow shades and 3 different face shades a contour colour, a blush and a highlighter. I have to say I have been using these 3 powders so much since opening them. They are so blendable. I have found myself reaching for these more and more especially the contour powder it's the perfect shade for me! The eyeshadows are all really blendable and very pigmented, along with the eyebrow shades to the middle shade worked best for me.
There was also a mattelustre lipstick in the shade classic red this is a lovely cool toned red that is perfect for the festive season. It is matt but isn't drying as some can be. It has brilliant staying power I wore this on a trip to a Christmas market and it survived the mulled wine!
Next is a Endless Silky Eye Pen in the shade OpalOvercoat. This is defiantly silky it went on great and I have found that it sharpens well which is a pet hate of mine when I have a lovely pencil until the first time that you come to sharpen it!
Finally is the Fairy Dust favourites in the shade metallic warmth. There again are brilliant quality they are so pigmented and have very little fall out. I have always been wary of using pigments as I feel I could quite easily get into a mess but these are great and so easy to create looks that are perfect for the festive season!
You can purchase all the products I have mentioned plus more from theirs Bolidau collection from the pixi website here.
This was a look that I had created with the products except for the lipstick. This is my trusty Velvet Teddy by Mac as this was more of a daytime look. The products are great to switch between an evening or a daytime look just by changing a couple of things.
I also thought it was worth a mention that I got the eyebrow gel in my M&S advent calendar when I was trying these products, so it seeme a great opportunity to try it with their bow powders. I am wearing both in the imgw above and I think it just finished the brows off nicely. Even doesn't a good job of taming my brows and kept the look in place
