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!
Purity Organic Skincare - Regenerating Overnight Moisturiser
Saturday, 29 September 2012
About a month ago, I was lucky enough to be sent some lovely products from Purity Organic Skincare to try and test. A few other Beauty Bloggers were sent these products too and I have read many reviews on them. I haven't even had time to try them all yet, as I didn't want to drastically change my skincare routine - I get breakouts and other skin problems when I do that, because my skin is a menace!
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 Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser forNormal/Combination Skin
Saturday, 11 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
A few posts back when I reviewed the Estee Lauder moisturiser here, I mentioned that I got a gift with purchase a little while ago that had pretty decent sized testers in it; the cleanser was 30ml. I've completely used up the moisturiser and now the cleanser so I thought I'd give my views on the product.
Firstly, I love the look and smell of the cleanser. It almost looks shimmery, but there is definitely no glitter flakes in it, it is not in any way, shape or form an exfoliator. And it has a very fresh clean scent, which isn't overpowering. Fresh smells are always good when you're cleaning and refreshing your skin, as I'm not a fan of overly floral scents in face washes.
A little bit really goes a long way too, which is why I think it lasted me so long. And don't underestimate the 'foaming' part of the description of this product - use any more than a 10p size for your whole face and you'll be able to make a foam Santa beard, like you did in a bubble bath when you were little (don't deny it, I know you did it too!).
