My skincare saviors

We are at that time of the year (in Britain especially) where the weather is changeable from day to day, and often hour to hour. This constant environmental changes mean that our poor skin has no idea how to react. So today I bring you with four products that together have, in a way, 'saved' my skin from every problem like dryness and breakouts.

The first product that I'm going to feature is the Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser. I have noticed that both in the blogging world and the real world Simple products have the same effect as Marmite, people either love them or hate them. For me I couldn't imagine living without this moisturiser. I have very sensitive skin so Simple has been a lifesaver over the past few years but most importantly this product. I use this day and night as it sits 'just right' on my skin. It doesn't leave a greasy residue and leaves my skin beautifully soft. My only gripe is it doesn't have any SPF or UVA, both of which I am starting to really care about. But overall for the price, you really do get a lot of 'bang for your buck'.

Secondly, the Soap and Glory Self-Heating Deep Pore Detoxing Mask. This Mask is AMAZING. I was looking for a face mask a few months ago after I had finished all my one use masks. One of the newest additions to my skincare routines is a weekly facial mask which over summer working in a sweaty kitchen really renewed my skin. By using this whilst I'm in the bath I am able to completely relax especially as once applied the product gently heats the skin and clenses deep down in the pores.

Thirdly, my Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser from The Body Shop. I have re-purchased this product about four times now as I cannot imagine my life without it. I sometimes deviate and try other clensers, but, I always return to this one. Its primary use, as listed in store and on the bottle, is to clear blemished skin. The product does an amazing job of that but I don't restrict it to just one use. I use this product every day after removing my make up and it fully cleans my skin leaving it feeling really refreshed. If you have never tried this product go buy it now you will no be disappointed.

And finally, the Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water. This is a perfect Micellar Water that once applied onto a cotton pad will simply wipe away even waterproof makeup. I don't think anything else needs to be said really. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, what are your skincare saviors? Because I would love to know if I'm missing out on an amazing product.

April Beauty Favorites

So its that time of the month again, April Favorites!

As Spring has FINALLY sprung in England my theme for make-up has been alot brighter and fresher so my most reached for products represent that change.

For me my absolute favorite thing in the whole world is eye make-up, I am addicted. So for me the first part of my everyday makeup routine that witnesses this change without a doubt is my eyes. In the colder months I tend to opt for a darker smokey eye, but the second I see sun I crave something lighter and brighter. The products I have been using to make this change have been the Seventeen Eye Eye Crayon in the colour 'Iced', Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono and Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow in the shade 'Pink Nude'. I have been using the eye shadow as a base, the pencil in the corners of my eyes and brow bones and the cream eyeshadow smudged on the outer edges of my eyes.

For my lips I have been loving (something that is not on the whole a spring make up item) the Collection Work the Colour Lip Butter in the shade 'Perfect Plum'. This lip butter is so perfect for me. It goes on beautifully and the nib makes it easy to trace your lips beautifully. Also it does not leave residue on anything you put too your lips so dramatically so for £3 its a winner for me.

I have never really been a person to ware blusher, ever. I have sensitive skin on my cheeks and actively avoid putting anything redder on them in case it sticks. But, whist I was looking round down as my boyfriend was in his guitar lesson I went to superdrug (something which I rarely do due to one not being near where I live) and the MUA blushers caught my eye as they were £1. I bought the MUA blusher in the colour 'Lolly' which is a coral-ly colour as I avoided anything too pink toned. I am so pleased with this purchase as for me it blends perfectly and also adds a more spring-toned look to my face.

And finally skincare. For me this month has been all about me finally sorting out my skincare routine. To do this two products have really stood out for me, these have been the Garnier Pure Micellar Cleansing Water and the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser from The Body Shop. I use the micellar water to take off my eye make up, which it does so beautifully with no overpowering scent or stinging feeling around my eyes, and the cleanser to then thoroughly wash my face. These products have helped my skin get to such a beautiful standard. I have had one breakout since caring for my skin everyday (something which I am not used to) but I feel as though it had more to do with stress and hormones. It did clear up in about two to three days which I was very happy with.

Yay! Finally did it, a monthly favorites on time!

Hope you are all well, thank you SOOOO much for supporting and following me, it honestly means the world.
