My Skincare Routine!

Everyday Skincare Routine


 

From watching beauty gurus on YouTube for years, I came across many positive, raving reviews of Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. I caved in and decided to purchase this product myself a couple of weeks ago. I bought the 100ml pump starter kit for £14.25 (and P&P was around £3) which comes in a handy zip-up pouch with 2 muslin cloths (basically unbleached cloths) and a 50ml sample of their Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic, which is £12.50 for a 200ml bottle.

The cleanser has definitely earned a firm place in my skincare routine, I love the fact that you can put it all over your closed eyes to completely remove make-up, as it contains no harsh ingredients which could harm them, and then you easily wipe it off with a damp muslin cloth. I do also like the toner but after the sample is used up, I am going straight back to my beloved Witch Hazel, which I have been a fan of for years, and costs just £2.15 from Lloyds Pharmacy for 200ml. As I have quite normal skin, I'm not sure if the Witch Hazel is for everyone. I think I'd recommend it for oily skin as after I have used it, it leaves some areas of my face feeling quite dry.

The last product I use, which definitely restores all moisture after I have used the toner, is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. The 50ml lotion costs £17, which I haven't bought yet, as every time I purchase something from Clinique I ask if they have any samples and they always seem to give me this moisturiser (not that I'm complaining!).

Skincare Routine

Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...

Christmas Wishlist!

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical ...
