Winter Essentials Video

Firstly, I just have to say thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post - you guys are seriously the sweetest! Most of the comments were coming through on that post when I was squished on the train home like a sardine and it’s fair to say that they were making me pretty emosh. Anyways gushing over, it’s time to share my new obsession with you all - oils! Being a bit of an oily-skinned gal it wasn’t until this year that I finally got over my fear of oils and started to smother them all over my body! They are seriously fab for limbs, hair, nails, my face – all over really! And I have especially enjoyed using them this Winter, so I thought I would share my top oil picks, along with a few other Winter favourites….

Hope you liked it! I think I have one more video up my sleeve before Christmas, so keep an eye out for that! And also, I’m going to pop up a clothing post tomorrow, something that is pretty rare for me! I’m quite excited :) Hope you are all having a lovely week! One more day of work for me before my Christmas holidays start, and I have to say I can’t bladdy wait!
Much Love,
Vivianna x

    I’m loving oils too. They feel so luxurious and pampering :)   I’m loving the palmers cocoa butter oil for the body, really cheap too! I like the nuxe oil but was slightly disappointed when I bought it….didn’t live up to the price tag for me. Also Dr Haushcka oils are fab. Ha…love the hat!! xx

      Ooooo might have to look into the Dr Haushcka ones – thanks for the recommendation! xx

    I got my bestie the Dr. Hauschka Lavender oil for X’mas as I’ve heard it’s amazing but I’ll let you know what she says! I hope you wear that hat for our next coffee/hot choccie, I’ll bring my leopard faux fur stole and you can go all out ;P

      Oooo yes let us know her thoughts – it sounds lovely!! And yes, next time we meet let’s go all out with the leopard print ;) xx

    Which of the facial oils you mentioned do you prefer – clarins or liz earle? :)

    • http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/ Anna

      I think I prefer the Clarins one, but only by a smidge xx

    I can’t recommend the L’occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil Enough! It is fab! It smells gorgeous and makes my skin sooo soft! It’s made from natural ingredients and is around 28 pounds, which is steep, but it lasts forever so I’d say it’s worth it :) http://uk.loccitane.com/FO/almond-supple-skin-oil-100ml.htm here it is if you want to have a look! Can also really recommend the Almond Shower Oil – such a treat :)

      Oooo fab! Thanks for all of the recommendations! xx

    Thanks so much for this video – really interesting! I have a Yankee candle obsession too – loving Christmas Eve at the mo. I get mine from scentedcandleshop.com who do good discounts…
    Have a gorgeous Christmas xx

      Thank you hun! Pleased you found it interesting :) xx

    Hey great vid as always. I use Elemis Frangipani moisture melt oil for my body. It has the most gorgeous tropical smell and makes my skin soft (I have dry skin all over). It’s a bit pricey but QVC do a duo pak for around £40. It’s normally £29 per bottle but Look Fantastic has it on sale just now!! I recommend it, can be used in your hair too.
    I’ve started using Decleor neroli oil on my face but might give the Clarins one a try.
    Thanks again, and have a great Christmas :) x

      Oooo thanks for the recommendation – love that sound of that Elemis oil! xx
