Updated Skincare Routine

 Skincare extras; Boots cucumber eye remover gel, Tri-Peptox Scrub, Witch Blemish stick, Superdrug Natural High facial wash, simple wet wipes.

 Morning Routine; No7 Hot cloth cleanser, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Vichy eye roll on, Superdrug Simply Pure moisturiser.

Evening Routine; No7 Hot cloth cleanser, No7 toner, Boots Cold Cream, No7 night eye cream.

After what seemed like months of being in a rut, it seems I have found an-ideal-for-me-right-now skin care routine. Which is always great, you know?

I tend to stick to the same morning/evening routine but if something ain't working I'll switch it up with the extras to give me a little boost.

I'm on the look out for a good serum. I've tried the Caudalie, No7 and L'Oreal serums to date - all from different price ranges as you can see... But let me know if you have any recommendations. 

Have you got your ideal routine down pat?

Peace!

August Favourites

 Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner (Colour Mate), Palmers Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks, Hugo Boss Orange, Morrison's Omega 3, 6 & 9, Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain.

I haven't done a video in yonks, but I am still at that stage where I am worried about my pox marks. Silly, as most of them from my face have gone. But I digress...

I've used 3 bottles of the Aussie Colour Mate since my last vlogs on youtube. It really is beautiful and smells amazing. Can't get enough. I use it especially after I have had my hair dyed (no, not a natural red...) and it gives my hair some life after being battered by peroxide. :)

Strange to include the vitamins but this is an important way of life, getting all the good stuff. I've actually been remembering to take my multi-vits, omega and garlic tablets for a change and feel much better. Also having mildly cut out some crap in terms of eating habits has helped. Just need to kick my filthiest habit; smoking. Then I'm all set.

The Revlon lip stains are a given; they really are worth the hype!

Hugo Boss Orange - My favourite scent ever. It's my staple. 

One more thing; the Caudalie Serum was a freebie from feel unique because I purchased the Beauty Elixir. It is AMAZING! Pricey at about £36 but I can see it being an investment!

Peace!

winter skin savers

If you have a tendency to have dry skin, like me, or even worse, if like me you're also prone to eczema - especially during the winter months, I have a few products I want to sing the praises of!

1.) Morrisons Shower Scrub - £1 - I use a general scrub in winter time, something that will do what it says on the tin, but not be stupid expensive. This stuff is amazing, smells great and gets rid of nasty dead skin cells etc. 

2.) E45 Lotion - £2-£4 (roughly) - 200ml - This stuff is essential to the eczema prone! I tend to get in on the inner elbows, back of my knees and hips, I guess the creases of clothing really irritates it during the winter! - This shit is essential. 

3.) Morrisons Cocoa Body Butter - £3 (roughly) - 200ml - This smells great, they have different scents too. Like almond, and aloe vera I believe - But I always go for the cocoa. It smells gorgeous, like I said, soaks in well and most importantly - keeps my skin all smooth and dare I say sassy? Does anyone say sassy anymore... I have used other cocoa body butters, and to be fair, they all offer the same thing - I do prefer a mango scented one during summer - from superdrug, but it was wrongly priced - and it put me off buying it again.

4.) E45 Hand Cream - £3 (roughly) - 50ml - Essential. Handbag. Item.

5.) Norwegian Formula Nourishing Foot Cream - £3-£5 (roughly) - Keep your feet pretty with this stuff. I swear with a little love and attention you'll save your feet later on in life!

6.) Bio-Oil - £5+ - 60ml - I mentioned before about bio-oil in two posts. I'll be honest, I know some people use it on their face and have great results - but in the end for me it just wasn't right, it made me break out hideously. However, I use it on common 'problem' areas - and it's working splendidly well! 

7.) Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser - £2+ - 125ml - I've used this stuff for years! I love Simple wet-wipes too, for removing make-up! I switch to the light version when I'm on holiday, or if it's especially hot in England. It's cheap for a face cream and it's a no-nonsense-does-its-job-moisturiser!

Peace!
