Products I'm loving right now...
I have been enjoying a few products that are proving to work wonders on my sleep deprived exhausted skin, here's what I have been loving and would definitely recommend for new mamas or for cheering yourself up after a night out!
1) THE SANCTUARY YOUTH REVOLUTION - I have particularly been enjoying the skin renewal glycolic peel mask which I use 1-2 times a week. It gives me just the boost I need when my skin is feeling and looking incredibly dull. I can't really go for a facial so I'm trying to take care of my skin at home. It's a 30 day programme that also has a serum and I have used it on and off for about 3 weeks and am enjoying the results. I will do a full review if further miraculous results occur.
I just LOVE masks that you can peel off your face!
2) YSL TOUCHE ECLAT - Perfect for illuminating under the eyes to brighten them and make them look more awake! I honestly can't be without this, I usually apply on top of my concealer for more of a bright eyed look.
3) MAC STROBE CREAM - I haven't been wearing hardly any makeup as I don't have time, the strobe cream adds a pretty glow to my face and makes it look more healthy and not as traumatised. :)
4) CLARISONIC - I mainly use this at night but am really relying on it at the moment as it boosts my dull complexion and is keeping it clear!
5) BEAUTE GIRLINA LIP CREME - On the odd occasion that I have worn makeup I have always opted for 'Girlina' a pretty pink shade, it's moisturising and adds the perfect amount of colour to my face and just brightens it up, I'm almost out of it - boohoo!
6) BURT'S BEES 'MAMA BEE' BELLY BUTTER - I have been applying this all over my body concentrating more so on my belly, my belly has shrunk almost back to my pre-pregnancy size and I couldn't be happier. Breastfeeding really has helped, I haven't done anything extra to speed things up. The linea nigra is fading and I haven't had any stretchmarks on it, some people say you get them when you shrink back down but that hasn't been the case for me, maybe this cream has helped?! However I used Neals Yard 'Mothers balm' during my pregnancy and that is a miracle oil I tell you! I love this cream a whole bunch more as it's natural and 'Esra' doesn't seem to mind it even when smothered on my breasts whilst breastfeeding.
7) BURT'S BEES 'MAMA BEE' LEG & FOOT CREAM - OH MY GOD, this is THE best foot cream EVER! It tingles when you put it on and it just relaxes you, it's unbelievable the difference it makes. The day after I had given birth my feet were swollen and looked like a giant, as soon as I rubbed this on it.. it felt like heaven! Hubby has also tried it and completely agrees with me!! :)
A huge thank you to Tali for gifting me the 'Mama Bee' products along with pressies she got for Esra, I have also been using quite a few Burt's Bees baby products and am in love with them also!
8) LAURA ASHLEY 'PINK PETALS' EU DE PARFUM -This is such a light fresh floral scent that has been perfect for everyday, it smells like fresh delicate flowers and I can't stop sniffing myself! :) Fragrance notes include water fruits, rose, frangipani, muguet, musk, sandalwood and olibanum. This is exactly what I would expect from a Laura Asley scent, the bottle is beautiful as is the delicate designs on the box it comes in.
What products are YOU loving right now? Also, I need a good awakening eye cream that basically de puffs and gets rid of dark circles, does such a thing even exist? I know all eye creams "claim" to but which one REALLY does?! I have a few favourite eye creams but need something MORE, my eyes look terrible!

Also I am in the same dilemma with eye creams - I have tried Colbert M.D Nourish Eye cream, The Body Shop Elderflower Cooling Eye Gel and Dr Hauschka Regenerating Eye Cream - all great! Nothing amazing though - need to find something amazing!!

I'm currently loving: Painterly paintpot, the new blueish shimmer cubes from the Body Shop, Apivita face masks and hot chocolate on rainy days! xx
@Jennifer lol it wears off gracefully yes! No clumps! I actually really like the look of it when it starts to wear off, but it lasts a long time before it does. xx
@cbsg5861 Errr dunno :D Oh hot chocolate sounds so good right now! xx
I really want to try the mac strobe cream, been eyeing it for a while now!
xo
I wish I had bought the Belly Butter when I was pregnant because body shop body butter didn't quite cut it on my stretch marks! Oh well :)
Have you tried the mama mio range? They have some wonderful products and most are paraben free x
May Allah bless you and your little family inshallah.
Mashallah about esra and her father & mother.
You'll keep it up. I believe it ;)
Wish, that the luck will be always there for you.

Do you think it would be too harsh for dry skin?
Love to little Esra... :0)

I love to use Soap and Glory 'You Won't Believe Your Eyes' Eyes Brightening Moisture Serum. I have re-purchased it three times so far. I find that it does really brighten, de-puff and soothe my eye area. Especially when I'm awake all night working on my assignments!
Although due the change in weather I have recently changed my eye cream to Boots Oil of Evening Primrose Oil Eye Cream which is amazing for dryness around the eye area.
Hope that helps :)
Peace and love,

Liz Earle Eyebright is lovely and refreshing - worth a try? x x

Im using MamaMio tummy rub, till now I have no report on stretch mark touchwood but, I ain't sure y some are saying that some will get after their delivery once the stomach had shrunk :S
i have had the same problem... and i started using collagen eye masks which are absolutely wonderful (i get them from the wholesaler, try ebay if you don't know where to get them from)
I also use a very good eye cream, so far the only one that works

@Glitterish Allsorts - I mainly used Neals Yard 'Mothers balm' whilst pregnant, you def need an oil when pregnant a crean just isnt enough in my opinion.
@Style Souk - Not really, but I would recommend a normal face brush before investing in the clarisonic, the body shop do a mini one, try that and see if you like the results. x
@Farah no I have only been using the belly balm after giving birth, I only used the neals yard mothers balm on my belly during pregnancy which prevented stretchmarks for me personally. x
Congrats on your beautiful baby girl.
