Skin Care Saviours

Hello!

So if you read my blog you'll know I have recently had a few problems with my skin. I developed a rash on my face (I think allergy related) as well as several spots and my complexion was just not looking good.

I don't tend to suffer from bad skin too often, I usually get 1-2 spots a month so this was a bit scary for me. So I decided it was time to change it up, I went to Boots and just bought a few things to try to renew my skin.

The first thing I got was E45, my mom used to use this for everything as a kid and it's supposedly good for rashes (amongst other things) so I gave it a try.

This not only got rid of my rash within a day or two but I've found myself reaching for it loads since getting it and now I don't leave the house without it. 

I also got my hands on a bottle of Hydraluron, I did a full review on this here, but this has helped my skin feel much fresher and healthier as well as giving it added moisture and massively helping me out in the long run.

I then decided to pick up a new moisturiser as I'm almost out of my current one and I like to try new ones constantly as I'm always on the hunt for 'the perfect moisturiser', so I picked up the Nivea Daily Essentials Day Cream, this is so nice to wear, it's very light and smooth, it's not as hydrating as it could be, but I like to wear it as it doesn't make my skin feel clogged up and my make up applies nicely over it.

Lastly, I needed a face mask. As my skin was not looking it's best I decided to pick up a face mask to treat my skin to and to unclog any pores and refresh my face. I picked up this Simple one, mainly because I was in a very small Boots and I only had about 2 face masks to choose from but nevertheless, I bought it and I actually like it.

I've always like Simple products, they're very light and nice on my skin, this face mask is no different. It's very light and fresh and gentle on my skin and my skin feels much cleaner and smoother and I really like it.

Overall, my skin is looking and feeling much better. 

I've been using all of these products for a couple of weeks now and there is a notable difference considering 3/4 of these products are very affordable. 

December Favourites

Hello everybody!

It's that time of month again, favourites time!

I haven't really tried too many new products this month, a couple are old and a couple are new as I haven't spent too much money on myself in December. But I have really been liking a few things lately. 

Passion Fruit Body Butter

I was in The Body Shop a few weeks ago and I picked up the Cranberry body butter and I loved it! Then... I walked past a few days ago and spotted the passionately one!! I didn't see this the first time round and once I gave it a smell it had to be mine! 

Natural Collection Blush - Peach Melba

I only recently bought this and I'm glad I did! It's a very natural looking shade and very easy to wear, I've found myself reaching for this a lot lately. 

Bourjois Blush - 34 Golden Rose

I've had this for a while now but recently I've been using it a lot more! There's something very festive and pretty about it, it's the perfect pretty pink shade with a hint of shimmer. Perfect.

Revlon Blushed Lipstick and Revlon Super Natural Lipgloss

I'm including these together because they're probably my most worn lip combo of the month. I'm not a huge nude lips wearer, but I have been loving these two lately! 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Another oldie that I've recently started using again a lot more. It's great for foundation and I also like to use it for blush, they're so easy to use.

E45

A very old product that has recently became a staple for my handbag, I literally don't know where I have been without this my whole adult life. I recently had some skin issues and purchased this on a whim, not only did it majority help my skin but it's been my best friend ever since. Got a burn? E45. Got dry skin? E45. Fell over? E45.

I love it.

And that's all for December, not too many but all things I've loved, what have you been loving?
