My Current Skincare

I haven't done something like this in f-o-r-e-v-e-r. So I thought I would. Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this post!





 I'm going to run through my current skincare that seems to be keeping my skin happy at the moment.

Cleanser


I know there are a lot of mixed reviews about Lush's 9-5 Cleanser but I really love it. It is perfect for my skin, which gets red and angry when I use anything to harsh. Lush's 9-5 contains Ylang Ylang oil which balances the skin, great for both dry and oily skin types. The Dove Orchid flowers which are in Lush's 9-5 are left in Almond oil over night which helps form the base of this cleanser. Almond oil is high in Vitamin E, which helps keeps the skin soft and supple. It is also great for cleansing as it dislodges dirt. The only down side to this cleanser is that it isn't that effective at removing eye makeup. I tend to go over with Liz Earle's Hot Cloth Cleanser around the eye area.


Toner

I am going to be honest even when I worked within beauty industry I barely used Toners but I discovered Lush's Breath of Fresh Air toner water. I kind of feel like this is just an aromatherapy toner water but at the same time, it really cools down my skin due to, this product containing aloe-vera, rose absolute, patchouli oil and rosemary oil.

Serum

Again I am a bit crap with serums, I don't have one that I particularly love, but at the moment I'm using Bee Good's Hydrate, Smooth And Prime Serum. It doesn't feel like a typical serum, but I have found with more natural brands that they don't. This absorbs extremely quickly and contains Blackcurrant, Wildflower Honey and Propolis.


Moisturiser

I have literally only just started using this, but my previous moisturizer ( Liz Earle's Skin Repair in light just wasn't doing enough for me) So I'm giving the mini Clinique Moisture Surge a go. Moisture Surge is a gel cream and is 'extended thirst relief'. I do love that this gives lots of hydration, and that it is for all skin types, it is also great that you can apply this on top of makeup. So if you need a top up through out the day you can apply more (this is something I haven't tried yet).


Eyecream

Ah this little beauty is amazing, Liz Earle's Superskin Eye Cream, it tightens, brightens and de-bags. I love that this is like a 3 in one cream. You can also feel it tightening the eye area and it gives instant brightness, you only need a tiny bit too which is great. Its extremely fast to absorb into the eye area too.


Night time

Liz Earle's Superskin Concentrate. I have used this on and off for a few years now. I currently love this product, as it just takes out any irritation I may have, and leaves the skin feel super soft. I also love mixing this with masks, which help to purify as sometime purifying masks can be a tad harsh on my skin and this adds an element of hydration and soothing back.

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I...

Hi Everyone I thought Id do a Make up of the day, and show you some of the products I use on a regular and not so regular basis. I'm also going to rate the products out of 10. Close up of eyes and contouring So these are majority of products used (bar brushes and one of my broken blushers) sorry for rubbish photo iPhones ay?  These 3 are my go to products for eyes. Products - Skin Based Illamasqua Hydravei l (black pot image below) Its in lots of my posts and it just helps hydrate and set the skin up for makeup. I love it, and I do get compliments when I wear it so it must be good. 10/10 Maybelline Baby Skin - Instant pore eraser? hmm I didn't hold out much hope for this product as I didn't really like the Baby Lips Maybelline bought out a while back. I actually think this product is pretty good and you get quite a bit for the money you pay. I think it does help smooth skin ready for foundation. 6/10 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - its...

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

Image
As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!  ...
