Clinique Facial Soap


Summer has officially ended in England *looks sadly out the window*, yet i still want my skin to glow!
This facial soap was basically a impulse purchase ( I mean what don't I buy on an impulse?) for £11.50,and I have come to believe that if you keep your skincare routine simple and not too fussy your skin will find its natural glow.
I use this morning and night, at night when I take my makeup off. I love it. I am not a regular user of Clinique but I have great things about the brand.
This my friends, is da bomb. Seriously I mean not many people think of using something so simple, I barely see any soaps in skincare routines, there needs to be more.
This has most definitely found a firm place in my beauty drawer.

Holiday Haul!

Well I certainly have not posted for a while. To be honest, I have had a slump. A complete blogging slump! I think I have found my interests again, so to kick start my blog again - I have a haul for you!
*sorry for the bad picture quality, took these pictures on my iPad!*

So firstly I bought Garnier Express 2 in 1 eye make up remover, the thing that attracted me to it was that it claims to protect your eyelashes. As many make up removers are harsh on your eyes and then result in many eyelashes falling out. No one wants bare eyes!
Then I bought Clearasil Blemish + Marks scrub, I bought this because I have had some spot issues round my nose and need to combat them now.
I also bought a Boots Essentials Eye gel. Oddly enough I have never owned an eye cream/gel before this. So I thought I should try a cheap one and see how it works.
Make-up wise I bought, Loreal nude magique CC cream ( the anti redness one) and Rimmel wake me up concealer. No particular reason why I bought these just wanted to try them!

Expect reviews of these products soon!

September Favourites!

The month of Halloween is upon us, time to pull out your scary masks and candy! Though through September i have been using a lot of products (collecting for an empties post) and these are my select favourites. This month has been really getting myself back into a work and skin routine, which i have mainly kept to this whole month, pretty pleased if i say so myself.
The first is the Vivo bronze me up palette is definitely a favourite this month as i have been using it quite a bit. Especially the high lighter colour on the left. I would like maybe to get a couple more palettes from this range as the pigment is very good as far as i have tried.
 This Clean&Clear daily scrub has been a skin saviour this month for me, as i have had literally nearly zero breakouts! I use this everyday in the shower also with a face wash. The things that i like about this is that it is oil free and it has soft bits in - not too harsh on the skin.
 The real techniques expert face brush is just amazing! I can imagine this being in every favourites for years, as it blends the foundation out perfectly so you have a flawless finish.
 Another skin item i have been loving this month is the Witch Blemish stick, which i have used ever since i was around 12. It is designed for oily skin, but  meant to be gentle on the skin. This has been amazing for me whenever i have breakouts.
 Finally but not surprising is my Revlon Lip Butter in Macaroon which is just a phenomenal lip colour for Autumn/Winter so you might be seeing more of this! Full review and better pictures here.

Those are all my September favourites! What are yours?

Suncream!

When i think of sun-cream i think beach, holiday's and sun! Also when your on holiday or its hot you need suncream, it is basically an essential. So i am going to share with you all the suncreams i have been using this holiday and that worked!
All the sun creams i have been using.
 Lets start with my face, i have been using this Clarins Sun Control Stick SPF 30, i have loved this. This is very easy application for my 'prone to burn areas'. I have been using this a lot when i have been sailing so it great for being out at sea! It is £16.00 and you can buy it from here.


 Also on my face i have been using Dermologica Oil free matte face suncream. It is a great suncream and doesn't break me out at all, a very big plus! This is around the £35 mark and you can get it from here.
On of my friend actually gave it to me as a recommendation, it is a good suncream but i would not purchase this as it is too expensive and there are cheaper alternatives.
For my lips i have been using this Nivea SPF 30 lip balm and i love it! It is very moisturising and leaves my lips feeling very smooth and soft, what a lip balm should do. This is £3.29 and you can buy it here!
For my hair and scalp i have been using this Sole Mare thing?! I actually don't really know much about it as the lady at the counter said it would stop you from burning. What i have to say about this is that it makes your hair look a bit oily.

For my body i have been using the Nivea Invisible Protect SPF 30 as it so easy to apply and NOT sticky. I absolutely hate the cream suncreams that leave a sticky residue behind and this doesn't! This is £11 and you can buy it here. Basically i love most of Nivea's product!
Finally is this Jason brand of sun cream, this was new to me as i had found it in WholeFoods and the lady was so in love with the product she sold it to me. Basically this is as natural as you can get with suncream and i LOVE it! This is normally £11.00 buy you can get it for £6.00 Here!!



So those are all the suncream i have been using! Comment below if you have any recommendations for me!
