Sephora France Haul!

Hello My Lovelies
Last month I popped over to France for a long weekend and when I heard there was a Sephora near by you know that I had to swing by and pick up a few bits right!!
I knew that when I went into Sephora next that I wanted to try some more of their face wipes. I bought some of the charcoal ones when I was in Denmark earlier this year and they were amazing (they are on my shopping list for when I go to New York next month!). I decided to grab a packet of the pomegranate ones and also in the same area was little packets of face masks that I have never seen before.
The masks were for all different skin types and helped with all kinds of skin issues but I do prefer a blue clay mask and thought if I liked it then I would buy some more when I go to America next. The packet states its for four uses but I think I'll probably get a few more out of it then that.


Lastly I saw a mini Benefit Galifornia blush in the travel section and I couldn't resist- I had been wanting to buy a full size but couldn't commit to the price but this seemed like a good compromise.


When I got to the till I was given a little sample of the Rituals hand cream which will be perfect for my hand bag when the colder months are back in full force.


Keep an eye out on my blog in the next couple of months as I'll have a New York Sephora haul coming your way.


Till next time,
                  Tori.

Product of the Month-September!

Hello My Lovelies

This summer has raced by don't you think? The product I want to talk about is my trusty Toms! I've not taken them off all summer and usually I'm more of a sandals in the summer kind of girl, but they have just been too nice and comfy not to wear.


My Toms have been so easy to throw on first thing in the morning when I'm on my way to work and then have easily transitioned once the day is over and I'm home getting ready to go out for the evening whether its to the beach or the pub.

I always find with Toms you have to break them in at the beginning but after that they become like slippers and you literally don't ever want to take them off. After wearing mine all summer I decided to treat myself to another pair that are navy and have little stars and moons all over them that glow in the dark, yes you heard me correctly glow in the dark!


You can usually find Toms in the sale but if you wanted to purchase my trusty grey pair or new glow in the dark style they cost £39.99 which isn't too much when you wear them every day for four months at a time.


Do you own a pair of Toms? What do you think? Let me know all of your thoughts in the comments or on Instagram at @wonderfulworldblog.


Till next time,

A long weekend in Northern France!

Hello My Lovelies

On the bank holiday back in August I was lucky enough to spend it in Northern France- checking out the area's of Landivy, Fougeres and Rennes. I've been to Paris a couple of times but always flown or one on the Euro Star so it was an adventure to travel on Brittany Ferries- a four hour boat ride across the channel to the land of yummy food and Bonjour!


First stop was to Fougeres and a little trip to a castle from the early 11th century built on a rock emerging from a swamp! It was fab to walk around the site and climb one of the impressive towers that had fab views out across Fougeres. The afternoon was spent eating pain au chocolate and Coca-Cola's in the sun.

The next day we took a little trip to Rennes we spent the evening in town having a lovely meal and wandering the streets and popping into Sephora (find out what I bought in my next post!!) Rennes was a really interesting city with lots of young travellers but also professionals-it was an eclectic mix!

We finished out trip with a few hours in Mont Saint-Michel. Tiny little streets inside of this fort are jam packed with shops and ice-cream parlours. If you walk the winding streets to the top you come to the monastery and you have a wonderful view out across Normandy. If you're ever in this part of France it's worth a look.


Have you been to any of these areas of France before? I would love to know your thoughts so please do leave me a comment!

Till next time,
                  Tori.

New In: Soap & Glory Face Masks!

Hello My Lovelies

Stop Press! Soap & Glory have branched out and added one of my favourite skin care items to their range....FACE MASKS!

As you would expect from Soap & Glory is their trade mark old school images with bright colours and quality packaging. The brand has released five different masks from miracle moisture mask to declog mask that comes with a handy spatula to apply the mask and even an eye mask!

All of the sheet masks are full of product and cover your face- nobody likes a dry face mask do they. They were all really hydrating and left my skin feel extremely soft and clean.

The Miracle Moisture Mask made of a jelly like substance was super cooling, this mask is made for those with dry/dehydrated skin so perfect that I used it whilst on holiday when it was 90 degree heat and it was perfect for rehydrating my sun kissed face. 

The declog mask was perfect for cleansing my skin as I had recently had a little breakout. It's bright pink and I'm not going to lie gets every where but it does dry quickly and easy to remove as it peels, but at £4.00 it is a little steep.  

I've recently go into using eye masks-so the Puffy Eye Attack was a great new one to try. It was easy to use and relaxing and great if you're having a pamper evening. I'm not sure they make much difference to my under eye bags but with all skincare it's better to be doing something than nothing at all. At £3.50 I'd definitely give them another go!

The Radiance Boosting mask is also a sheet mask and easy to apply once you've got the slippery little thing in place. I left this on my skin for roughly 15 minutes and I did feel it gave my skin a slight glow and made it look fresh and less dull. This would be perfect to use before a night out- so that your skin looks fab as you dance the night away or even after a heavy night out.

Have you tried any of the #maskforcefive from Soap and Glory yet? What are your thoughts? Let me know on my twitter @steaders83
