Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
Saturday, 27 October 2012
This is one of my favourite face washes/cleansers that I have ever tried. It's called a face wash but it comes under Origins "Cleansers" category, and I have to agree that it is most definitely more than just your typical face wash. Checks and Balances is designs especially for combination skin - which is what I have. Although, before I tried it I wasn't convinced that a cleanser could both "seek out oil, soaks it up and keeps it well-in check" and "balances and protects dry prone zones" as the product description describes. Rubbish I thought at first! Every oil controlling product I had ever tried before had burned, completely stripped my skin to the point of peeling or just simply not worked. But this is honestly amazing!
Nivea Lip Butter - Caramel Cream
Monday, 15 October 2012
I found this in Superdrug last week while I was looking for a new lip balm. I stumbled across this Nivea Lip Butter, and I have to say, I've honestly never seen them before! It comes in three scents - Original, Raspberry Rose and Caramel Cream. I didn't smell the 'original' one because I quite like scented lip balms. Raspberry Rose is gorgeous and sweetly fruity, but I was drawn to the Caramel Cream one because it smells exactly like Butterkist toffee popcorn. It's amazing, I just sit and smell it.
My Proactiv Experience
Monday, 27 August 2012
Hello Lovelies,
I purchased proactiv from Boots about 6 months ago now, to try and clear up my skin as I'd been having problems with it. I gave it a fair trial, cutting out all other skincare in order to solve the outbreak I'd had. My skin tends to do that, it goes in waves of being really bad, to being pretty good. And I was at a bad stage.
I had spots that were taking ages to heal and then just as I thought they were getting better, more would come. It was a nightmare. I stuck to the regime of using only these products morning and night, but I didn't see any results very quickly. I persevered as, hopefully, most of you know it can take up to three months for a skin product to show results. Within a couple of weeks my skin had shown a massive improvement and my skin was staying clear of spots for weeks. I thought I had found my miracle.

Estee Lauder - Advanced Night Repair
Wednesday, 22 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
A few months ago now, I bought Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. I'd read and heard a lot about it before parting with my money as it does have a hefty price tag. I bought the 30ml, which you can buy for £44.00 (the 50ml is £58.00!), and it has lasted me absolutely ages! So that's the bonus, that comes with parting with all that money, it'll be a while before you need to part with it again, because by god you'll want to!
I was slightly sceptical about this product, as it claimed to repair and improve blemishes and pigmentation. And being someone that has suffered from that for many years, I was starting to think that I'd be stuck with my skin like that. But this truly is a miracle product for me. A lot of pigmentation that I have had for years is gone, and newer pigmentation scars improve so quickly. I've noticed that my spots are healing a lot quicker too, although I would definitely not say that this stops them coming. So don't expect to never have spots again if you use it - it only 'repairs' them.

Estee Lauder Day Wear - Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme
Tuesday, 24 July 2012
Hello Lovelies!
Probably about a month and a half ago now, I made a little purchase at Estee Lauder and they had an amazing free gift on, with some really decent sized samples. It came with a cleanser, moisturiser, mascara, lipstick, eyeshadow palette, and a small sample of advanced night repair. Unfortunately the eyeshadows were damaged which I didn't realise until I got home, so that got binned! And I gave the lipstick and mascara to my mum because she never treats herself to nice makeup, and I've got enough lipsticks!
So I kept the 3 skin care products for myself, the first I'm reviewing is the moisturiser. It came in a 15ml sample - which is pretty damn good for a moisturiser. I always use a tiny amount anyway because I'm scared of adding in extra grease to my skin, so this lasted me a full month, using it every morning, and sometimes at night if I felt I needed it. This was also for combination skin, so it's probably less rich than the one for dry skin!
