Can't Live Without...

Everyone has those items in their wardrobe, makeup collection or bathroom that they just cannot live without. Whether you are going out for the day or going camping for 5 nights, sometimes we need to use products to make us feel a bit more like ourselves. There are three items in my skincare collection that I am loving at the moment and I use on a daily basis!

The first product is the Natio 'Lift' Skin Firming Serum. This is the first serum I have used, as I have always opted for a Rosehip Oil in my evening skincare. This has honestly done wonders to my skin. It claims to soften fine lines on the face, which I am not too worried about at my age now, but hopefully this acts as a preventative! It has made my skin glow, making it feel super soft and supple. I use this after I cleanse and before I moisturise day and night, to give added nourishment to my skin. There was one day where I didn't use this and my skin felt so dehydrated and lacklustre. This is definitely a product that will be in my skincare regime for a long time.
The next product is deodorant, which is a product that is not commonly discussed in the beauty world. But hey, everyone wears it! For years I used to wear the Dove deodorants but recently I have switched over to the Rexona Biorythm Dry 48 hour deodorant. One word to encapsulate this deodorant is definitely 'dry'. It does exactly as it says and lasts the whole day. What more could you want?

The last 'can't live without' product is the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. I know I have raved about this already in one of my previous posts, but I love it. It is ultra moisturising and nourishing on the lips. My lips are always dry and chapped, so this little guy never leaves my side!

What are your 'can't live without' products?

Review // Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm

Chapped lips are the bane of my existence. I don't know if it is because I don't drink enough water or I am lacking some random vitamin, but I always seem to get dry, cracked lips. Through winter I am continually applying lip balm to give my lips the moisture they need. However, it never seems enough. My lips always absorb the moisture really quickly without making much of a difference. The only product that has helped my lips in the past is Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, which I continually apply over and over again. 

I have heard rave reviews about the Nuxe Reve De Miel ultra nourishing lip balm across the blogging and YouTube world, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I picked it up last week at Priceline for $15 and have already seen a difference in my lips. The first thing I noticed was the delicious smell, which is a mix between honey and orange. The listed ingredients include honey, plant oils, shea butter and grapefruit essence. These are the perfect ingredients for nourishing and smoothing dry lips. 
The product itself is very thick. This can make it difficult to apply, but a solution to this is swirling your finger in the pot a few times to warm up the balm and then apply to your lips. I don't mind the thickness of the formula, as it feels nourishing and gives an extra layer of protection against the elements. The balm acts as a great morning and night time treatment for my lips and I can still feel the product on my lips a few hours after application. The lip balm is also great for using as a base to other lipsticks or glosses, especially matte formulas. 
Overall, I am very impressed with the Reve De Miel lip balm, and I feel like this will be a staple in my makeup bag for years to come.

Have you tried the Reve Del Miel lip balm?
