Recently I shared my thoughts on the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Face Masks, which if you didn't know, they are GREAT! Garnier have since then released some new tissue eye masks with the same product concept as the face masks. I picked up the Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid & Coconut Water and the Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid & Orange Juice to see if they are just as good as the face masks.

Garnier Moisture Bomb Eye Tissue Masks

The masks are so quick and easy to use, you can use them pretty much anytime and anywhere.
1. To apply, simply open the packet, take it out and unfold the mask. 
2. Apply to cleansed skin and smooth the mask gently over skin. 
3. Adjust the mask to cover the full eye area. 
4. Leave for 15 minutes and then remove. Gently massage the excess formula into the skin. 

Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid And Coconut Water

Firstly I tried the Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid And Coconut Water. This was the more tricky mask to apply, but once you placed it correctly, this mask worked like a treat. My eye area felt so refreshed. The skin cooling effect from the mask really worked, and I could already feel my skin becoming more hydrated and revitalised. After I removed the mask and patted in the remaining serum, it did definitely left my skin looking plumper and firmer. 

Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid And Orange Juice

Secondly, the Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid And Orange Juice. This was the mask I was definitely more excited for as I love products that make your skin look glowy and brightened. These under eye tissue masks were definitely easier to apply, and they were the perfect size. Again, the skin cooling effect really worked and you could feel the hydration right after application. These eye mask helped to leave my eye area look brighter, more refreshed and more awake. 10/10 It's a thumbs up from me!

AD - GIFTED | When it comes to cooking, I love to try out new recipes and explore new flavours and cuisines. I've recently teamed up with Gousto; a food subscription box service that brings you quality, simplicity and variety, with 30+ recipes a week to choose from to create your very own recipe box. Gousto deliver to you perfectly measured ingredients as shown on your recipes cards, which saves so much time when cooking. If you missed my introductory post, and what I picked for my first recipe box, you can view that here.

The first dish I selected to make from my recipe box was the Indian-Spiced Chicken Tray Bake With Spinach*. A super simple recipe that anyone can create, plus it's a one tray dish, so less washing up!

Gousto Indian-Spiced Chicken Tray Bake with Spinach

For this Gousto Indian-Spiced Chicken Tray Bake with Spinach, you will need the following ingredients for 2 people;

                              -  320g Chicken Thighs              
           - 400g of Potatoes
            - 120g Spinach      
     - 1 Red Onion
                          - 3 Garlic Cloves                 
           - 15g Root Ginger
          - 1 Red Chilli      
- 1 Lemon
                                      - 1 tbsp Curry Powder                     
                           - 1 tsp Yellow Mustard Seeds
                            - 1 tsp Nigella Seeds             
         - 1 tsp Turmeric
                   - 120g Natural Yoghurt

The recipe card as shown below are super easy and quick to follow. The recipe is broken down into 8 steps, that show you what you need to do and what ingredients you will need for that particular part of the recipe. So here's how I made my Gousto Tray Bake.

 Overall, I was extremely satisfied with how my Indian-Spiced Chicken Tray Bake with Spinach turned out. The recipe was so simple to follow, and it was a really easy one tray dish! The spices used for the chicken marinade were so flavoursome, it really helped to give such an authentic, complementary taste. The potatoes had such a fresh and zingy taste from the fresh lemon, and the garnishes of fresh red chilli brought the heat to the dish. Plus, you can vary the amount of fiery chilli you used, depending on your preferences. Or if you can't stand the heat, slather on the natural yoghurt for that creamy and cool finish. It's a 10/10 from me!

When it comes to haircare, Aussie have been my go-to hair brand for as long as I can remember. To me, the brand is just so good, I have  featured them multiple times on my blog over the years, including this post - 4 Aussie haircare products you need to try. I've tried so many of the Aussie haircare ranges, you only need to smell all the products to fall in love with them, and I know if my hair is in need of some TLC - Aussie is a brand that I repeatedly go back to as I know that their products work for my hair type and they can ALWAYS sort me out when I'm having a bad hair day!

Aussie Haircare

 “There's more to life than hair, but it's a good place to start”
- The Aussie Philosophy -

Aussie Haircare

My holy grail hair treatment. The Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moisture Deep Treatment is the only remedy you need for dry, damaged and thirsty hair. I use this deep conditioner once a week, all year round, but during the colder months, I use this twice as I like to keep my hair shiny and healthy during the colder, harsher weather. A hair treatment with Australian Macadamia Nut Oil -  a lightweight oil that is quickly absorbed without feeling greasy, as well as being highly nourishing and softening. The perfect addition to your winter haircare routine.

Aussie Haircare

Something new that I've tried from Aussie is the Miracle Mega Kool Kiwi Berry Dry Shampoo. I've used Batiste in the past, but Aussie have stolen my heart with their new Miracle Dry Shampoo. Designed for those with normal or greasy hair, the dry shampoo refreshes the hair instantly and without make it look dull or leave any white residue. Formulated with Australian Jojoba Seed Extract - this is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair, prevent hair loss and promote hair thickness. Like all Aussie products, the scent is to die for. With a beautiful, light berry aroma, it's so sweet and fresh, you'll definitely be getting ask what smells so good!

Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Lightweight Treatment

This product, the Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Lightweight Treatment was so good, I dedicated a full blog post review to it! Intensive lightweight oil treatment for damaged hair, packed with Australian Macadamia Nut Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil and Avocado Oil- the perfect haircare combination! With a non-greasy formula, I like to use the Reconstructor on damp hair to help repair the smoothness and give my hair some much needed moisture after washing, as well as on dry hair for amazing shine effect and to tame any frizz. One of my most used and repurchased hair oils, it simply helps your hair look silky, smooth and fabulously shiny. What more could you ask for?

Aussie Haircare

The Aussie Mega Shampoo is the perfect product to use for hair that wants to be clean every day. This daily shampoo packed with Kangaroo Paw Flower extract, helps to cleanse the hair and scalp, and leaves you with beautiful, shiny locks. The shampoo lathers up really well, so you can work it into the hair and scalp for a good, deep clean. Maybe even a little head massage whilst you're there works wonders. After washing and drying, I'm left with super light, bouncy hair that makes you feel a solid 10/10!

It's been a while since I've done a wishlist styled post,(it's actually been since January!)- you can view that post here! So with Autumn in full swing, I've put together some beauty bits that I'm currently lusting over!

autumn beauty products

- Soap & Glory Archery Volu-Boost Brow Fibre Gel -
I've been a huge fan of the Soap & Glory Brow range, they have some really amazing products, at an affordable price point.. My current eyebrow pencil is the Soap & Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow Filling Pencil & Brush- I use shade "Love is Blonde". So when I saw that a new product; the Volu-Boost Brow Fibre Gel had been added to the range, it's definitely been something I've wanted to test out. A product marketed to build, thicken & set your brows in an instant, this seems like a total game changer and something that I'm definitely lacking in my makeup bag. Probably because I use a clear mascara for my brows and not an actual brow gel! But I'm hoping to get my hands on this product soon in an attempt to help add colour and shape to my eyebrows, especially the sparse areas.

- L'Oréal Paris Smooth Sugars Glow Scrub -
With previously using both the Nourish Scrub and the Clear Scrub, I've really loved the L'Oréal Smooth Sugars range, and the Glow Scrub is the last in the trip that I need to test out. I want to keep my skin looking as fresh and as glowy as possible. With the colder Autumn/Winter weather settling in, I'm in need of a product to tackle dull skin, and I'm hoping the Glow Scrub will just do that! 

- Lee Stafford Coco Loco Hair Straighteners -
I've recently purchased a new hairdryer (it's also from Lee Stafford), and I thought it's about time I need a new set of hair straighteners. I've had my current set for around 4 years now and I think they are starting to wear out now. The Lee Stafford Coco Loco Hair Straighteners look perfect! The ceramic plates in the Coco Loco irons are infused with nourishing Coconut Oil, this clever oil keeps your hair looking sleek, smooth and shiny. What more could you ask for?

- Revolution Skincare Superfruit Extract Serum -
Recently, Revolution have introduced a new, exciting and affordable skincare line to their range, and I definitely wanted to give some of their products a go. I'm currently using the Revolution Skin Plumping & Hydrating Solution - 2% Hyaluronic Acid, and my skin is definitely loving it! The Revolution Skincare Superfruit Extract Serum is a dual purpose serum and primer that helps replenishes the skins moisture, packed with a slight iridescent shimmer for unbeatable radiance. A must have product to help prolong that Summer glow for Autumn/Winter.

- L'Oréal Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Mask -
I've previously tried some of the L'Oréal Dream Lengths range and absolutely fell in love with the products. The trio of products that I've used this were the perfect combination to help protect hair against breakage and split ends. Designed for those with long, damaged hair and enriched with Keratin, Vitamins and Castor Oil, the Dream Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner work like a treat for my hair. My hairs been on the dry side lately, so I'm hoping the new Dream Lengths Heat Mask will do the same as the other products in the range!

- NARS Climax Mascara -
New from NARS, the Climax Mascara. If you're a regular to my blog, you know I couldn't live without my mascara, a few favourites of mine being from Rimmel and Benefit. I like a mascara that really helps to separate, volumize and lengthen the lashes, helping to add boldness and definition, and making my eyes pop as the main focal point of my face. I usually like plastic, bristle mascara wands, but the NARS mascara has quick a chunky, fibre brush, that I would imagine gives you extreme volume and definition - exactly what I'm after!

- Ouai Hair Oil -
When it comes to haircare, I've always loved products from the Drugstore. Some of my favourite haircare brands include Aussie, OGX and L'Oréal. My current favourite hair oil being the Aussie 3 Miracle Oil Reconstructor - it's great!! But after hearing and reading some rave reviews, I've always been lusting over the luxurious Ouai Hair Oil. Described as a multitasking hair oil that smoothes out frizz and seals split ends for high-gloss, super-smooth finish, this would be the perfect addition for my haircare routine for the colder winter months.
