Nivea Tinted Moisturiser

Currently half price at Boots

I love tinted moisturiser. I think it's a genius invention. For in the summer when make up is just too much on the skin or just on days when you don't want a whole lot of coverage and stuff on your face. Tinted moisturiser is great.

I picked up this Nivea one last summer and I have recently rediscovered it. 
I love Nivea products, I've used their creams and lotions for years and I've always liked them. When I was hunting for a cheap tinted moisturiser on a summers day last year because wearing foundation was unbearable I didn't really know much about this one but I thought I'd give it a go.

The first thing you notice is the very distinct Nivea smell, I personally love it. The product also has SPF in it which is obviously a bonus. The product is self applies beautifully and actually has a nice amount of coverage. The colour is quite dark on me but with blending is looks natural but glowy.

I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for an affordable tinted moisturiser, let me know if you have tried this?

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.
