NYX Lid Lingerie: Review

Hello Lovelies,

Today I want to talk about NYX's Lid Lingerie Eyeshadow Tint, which I bought in shade Whimsy when shopping in Leeds recently and fell in love with the entire range!

Available in many beautiful colours this range has a very elegant feel and aesthetic to it.
The different hues are absolutely gorgeous, from pale nudes to electric blues and pinks, even their names are enough to fall in love with such as 'Whimsy' 'Evening Spell' and 'Rose Pearl'
which are just a few of my favorites.

It's an excellent compact size, as it comes with an applicator it is an all in one product as no brush is needed. It is also very easy to apply.

The shade Whimsy has a lovely subtle pink metallic sheen to it and the formula is build able to create any look you like.  

What swayed me most with this product was that it reminded me of the Maybeline colour tattoo cream eyeshadows which I have been a fan of for many years. The formula and finish are very similar and both are very durable. Although Maybelline range is a little cheaper at the price of £4.99 

I do prefer the NYX range because they offer larger range of colours compared to Maybelline and I also love that it comes with an applicator as I am the kind of person who can be quite heavy handed with make up and feel I get a better finish from using my hands and fingers compared to a brush however the applicator works really well and is easy to use. When using the Maybelline colour tattoo I found it quite difficult to use a brush and to messy to use my hands.  

Let me know if you've tried NYX Lid Lingerie and what your favorite colour is.

Thanks for reading 

Face mask Friday: Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay Review

Today I am sitting with the  Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay on my face whilst I catch up on the new series of New Girl and write this review.

The first thing I want to say about this mask is that it smells lovely, it really smells of roses, making it feel like a luxury to use! I would say it is strong in fragrance which can be irritable for sensitive skin so I would bare that in mind.






This is such an elegant product, it contains small jojoa beads which help to exfoliate and draw out dirt and smooth the skin as you apply the formula. Apply in circular motions gain  helping to refine the texture of skin and polish it off. It's a lovely pinky colour and tightens on the face. It's a fairly thin consistently as it is clay it is not to thick.

Take off once completely dry, gently wash under warm water taking care with the jojoba as can be harsh on sensitive skin.

I have to say I did not notice a whole lot of difference with this mask, I felt it helped to take away some dry patches and smooth it but I did not feel it was particularly brightening.
It is a very nice product however  I feel for the price you can get something very similar if not better for a lot less. The fragrance and overall aesthetic of the product is what I feel adds on the price.

I hope this review was helpful. Let me know if you've ever tried this mask and what it done for you, or if you haven't let me know what your  favorite facemask/beauty treatment
I would love to know!

Mask Mondays : Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Face Mask

Today I am reviewing the Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Face Mask.
I bought this product after reviewing many reviews raving about how good it was
and I wanted to see what the hype was about. I was on the look out for an inexpensive charcoal mask to help cleanse my skin. Charcoal masks are very good for detoxifying the face, cleansing pores and clearing away dirt. Priced at £3.59 this product is excellent if you're on a budget like me, the only down side is that it is only a 50ml tube however it's usually on  a 3 for 2 offer so you can make the most of it.







The formula is a very dark grey, almost black colour as you would expect being charcoal. I found I had to use quite a bit to properly layer it on my face, however it's down to preference you could use a thin layer if you wanted, but I tend to feel I get more out of the products benefits if I am abit heavy handed with it!

The mask tightens a little and is drying but not overly so. It is recommended to leave it on for a maximum of 15 minutes but I feel like because its not overly drying I can leave it on longer whilst I watch a YouTube video or something, when you notice it cracking I would take it off.

The product has definitely helped to smooth out my skin, once washing it off my face felt clean and fresh. My blackheads are worse around my chin area and I did notice a reduction but not as great as I expected, however it made more effect in other areas such as my nose and forehead which I am pleased about.

I am happy with this product, it does what it says on the tin and it is great for oily/blemish prone skin. I feel it is the kind of product you need to use regularly to see a big change.

Overall this mask is a nice treat for your face when in need of a deep cleanse, it's very affordable and for a boots own brand it has good results.

I would recommend!

Skincare Diaries Entry 2: Cool it

Dear Reader,

Today I wanted to talk about my current skin situation, as unpleasant as it may be spots and general blemishes is something we all suffer from at some point in our lives, and I am in a consent battle with my skin to keep it happy and in result keep myself happy.

I have blemish prone skin and suffer mild acne, I do my best to manage it by following a daily skincare routine (if you're interested in what I do and what products I currently use you can read my blogpost about it here: http://moobeautys.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/skincare-diaries.html)


When a new spot appears or I can feel it coming it can be sore and sensitive, in the past I have used the old toothpaste tip and applied it over night which does help to stop the spot developing by drying it out, but it is too drying but me, yes it helps but does replace one problem with another as I am left with dry patches. This is where my new method comes into play, ICE! Totally inexpensive and soothing method for reducing the appearance
of spots.

Here's how I have been using ice on my skin

Step 1: Take some ice cubes (1 per spot)

Step 2: Wrap in a paper towel (Never apply directly on the skin-risk of ice burn)

Step 3: Place on affected area until ice melts and area goes numb (I have heard different things about how long to leave it own for, I personally just like to leave it on until it melts or until the affected area feels numb.

Step 4: Wash face and pat dry

Ice helps to reduce the inflammation of the spot and helps to soothe it. It is also good for helping the skin appear more plump and fresh.

This is by no means a cure, it simply aids in the healing process.

Skincare Diaries

Dear Readers,

Today I have decided to start a skincare diary to record how I care for my skin on a daily basis, I will talk about my routine and what products like I use, some new products and some old favorites that I feel are a good staple to have.

I have acne/blemish prone skin, everyday feels like a battle with a skin as I try better to understand what it likes and dislikes. My skin has been breaking out a fair bit recently, I get spots, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples, these aren't pleasant and they do really affect my confidence sometimes.I don't like to wear makeup often as it isn't great for my skin so covering up with excessive amounts of concealer on a daily basis isn't something I want to do.

I have tried many products and methods for calming the affects of acne and some are more effective than others but there is no miracle cure and expensive products aren't always the most effective. I am a poor student on a budget and try to make a saving when I can.

Now, blemishes are caused by a build up of bacteria on the skin, the bacteria will hide in your pores and often get trapped resulting in nasty blackheads. I have learnt that anything that is anti-bacterial is your friend, and at the moment tea tree oil and lemon juice are my best friends. Tea tree oil is great for fighting bacteria and can be purchased in a variety of different ways, pure tea tree oil is great to use but it has to be diluted, I keep a mixture of water and tea tree oil in a dispensing pump bottle and use it as a cleanser every morning/night to wash my face. As for lemon juice, I like to slice a fresh lemon and with my water bottle infuser place two slices inside and fill with water, refiling throughout the day, lemon is another good anti-bacterial, the acidic acid helps break down bacteria and is great for the skins complexion.


Going back to the title of this post 'Skincare Diaries' I am going to journal my skincare routine, talk about what I do, what products I use, new breakouts and how my skin is generally feeling

Today I am using four products to wash, cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise my skin

1. Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water 
2. Boots Botanics Purifying Face Scrub All Bright
3. Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash
4. Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish Moisturiser

I feel like micellar water has been everywhere this year and has really grown in popularity encouraging many brands to start using it. This special water is targeted at removing makeup whilst cleansing and purifying the skin. For me it is a product I will use for just about everything, I fin it great for taking my makeup off, but I especially like to use it as a morning/night cleanser after washing my face I apply it using a cotton pad and tab around my face, I like it as you don't have to rinse it off so I feel like leaving it on my face I am constantly benefiting from it.

Once I've cleansed, I then exfoliate with the Boots Botanics Purifying Face Scrub All Bright, this smells and feels really nice on my face, it uses crushed apricot seeds to scrub away impurities, I make sure to massage into my skin, taking care around delicate areas and concentrating on areas I feel need more attention, which at the moment is my chin as that is where most of my breakouts occur.

I feel then wash this off using warm water, once all the product is gone off my face I will then wash my face with the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash, this is a new product I have introduce to my routine, after being a fan of the Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish Moisturiser for so long I decided to try it in combination with the face wash to see if this would enhance the benefits. I am a massive fan of Simple products, they are a brand I have used for many years, as my skin changes from being dry, oily and sensitive some products have chemicals that can be irritable, I have always from Simple great if I know my skin needs cleaning and moisurising but I just don't know how other products my affect it, the Simple range has been a staple in my skincare collection.

I liked using the face wash, it was easy to use, it felt a little like a gentle scrub as it felt like it had little beeds in it, which were great for targeting my pores, but having already used the face scrub I feel in future I would not use both at the same time. 

The moisturiser is great for my skin, I love! it doesn't irritate my skin and it is very absorbent, I like to use it on days I go to the gym. I don't notice results from day one but I interested to try use the face wash with the moisturiser over time to see results.

Once my skincare routine is done I will try find the energy to leave my cosy bed and face the day. If I am going to the gym I will make sure to wash my face afterwards, usually with a splash of water and micellar cleansing water and then reapply my moisturiser.

Thank you for reading,

Mask of the day: The Body Shop New: Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask

Recently I have been trying out alot of facemasks and reviewing them  on here 

I am been tabling with a few names for these face mask features 

Face Mask Friday

Monday Mask

Mask of The Day

I would love your opinion on which you prefer

Now on to the mask!

The Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask  is part The Body Shop's  New Expert Facial Range which is 100% vegetarian and vegan an full of natural ingredients such as... Bamboo Charcoal, Green Tea leaves and Tea Tree Oil, these ingredients have amazing benefits for the skin, helping towards a clearer and healthier complexion. I love a good charcoal mask and I absolutely love anything with tea tree oil and green tea as they do wonders for acne prone and problem skin which I unfortunately suffer from.

I am using a sample I received from the Body Shop from using a current promotional offer. The sample had a generous a mount giving even coverage across the face. 

I cleansed my thoroughly as always before applying the mask, The texture was very grainy and went on like an exfoliator as I messaged it onto my skin, it felt quite rough was it was important to be gentle especially around more sensitive areas of the face.

It smelt amazing! very clean and pure scent. The recommended time is 5-10 minutes and I left it on for 20 minutes, as I've said in previous posts I like to keep masks on for longer usually whilst I watch an episode of something. As this was the kind of mask which is fast drying and hardens I didn't leave it on as long as I would've probably liked but long enough to feel i got the most out of it. Whilst on my face I did experience a tingling sensation which felt alittle stinging at first but did calmed down and since the product is so natural and as no nasty chemicals I knew it was nothing to worry about.

This mask is easy to take off, I would advise using a hot cloth and pat gently when rinsing off as it's quite hard and grainy.  This mask is also good for sensitive skin, acne, blackhead and generally problem skin, the tea tree oil and green tea are great anti bacterial agents which help fight breakouts and excess oil.

The result was amazing,  this mask works and helped to revitalise my skin, it felt very fresh, smooth and clean, my skin felt tightened and healthy, it also helped to reduce redness caused by my recent breakouts.

Overall I love it and I love that I had the chance to try a sample as I will definitely be purchasing this mask. 

Thank you and Thank you to The Body Shop

Mask Monday: Origin Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

Hello Beauties


Today's post is going to talk about Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask which I received in the BBB Origins Mix & Mask Box and I have to say I am in love with everything!

I have dry/blemish prone skin and this mask is a lovely intense moisture boost for my skin. It is very much the type of product where a little goes a long way, as it is not the full size product I am using it sparingly but I feel I am using the right a mount, if you apply too much it does tend to feel a little greasy so only a little is needed. 

I applied this after cleansing and using a hot cloth on my face as to work with a clean base and open my pores. It smells and feels amazing! Which makes it feel like a luxury, this is my second time using the mask and I do believe my skin has benefited well from it and is left feeling very soft and smooth after use. 

My skin drinks up this mask, it is absorbent but not too much, it feels very hydrating and pleasant on my skin whilst going to sleep. Although it is a night mask you can use it if you are staying in and want something to hydrate your skin, I think being asleep is good for the mask as you don't come in to contact with bacteria or pollution as you would if you were outside, and also you aren't touching your face and removing the product, so I like to put it on just before bed. 

 

The only down side to this product would have to be the price at £24.99 from Boots, it is abit pricey however it I do genuinely believe is it worth it if you suffer from dry/dehydrated skin or simply enjoy face masks and want a luxury pamper every now and again. A little really goes a long way with this product which means it should last a long time so an investment of £24.99 is not to bad.

Overall really enjoy using this product and incorporating it into my skincare routine. 

Let me know if you've tried it and what you thought below, or if you've tried any other face masks!

Monday Mask: NEW Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask

Hello Lovelies

Today's face mask of choice is the all new Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask, a "Super-Hydrating Revitalising Mask" which claims to give you one week of hydrating serum in one mask! All sounds pretty appealing, I was stocking up on the Garnier Pure Active Micellar water when I came across this product and for the special offer price of £0.99 I could not resist! The mask is said to be the equivalent of one weeks use of the Garnier Moisture Bomb 3 in 1 Day Cream.

"It acts like a hydration wrap that continuously diffuses all the effectiveness of the serum intensely hydrating your skin" 

Whats in it? 

Pomergranate Extract
Hyaluronic Acid
Plant Serum

Application

For the application I got a cloth and ran it under hot water and patted it around my face to open up my pores, I then cleansed face with the Garnier Proactive Micellar Cleansing Water, using a cotton pad I splashed a few drops of it on and patted it around my face.

It's a 15 minute face mask however like all face masks I usually give them extra time, I normally like to watch an episode of something whilst I wait, this makes me feel like I get the most of the product.

The mask was a little fiddly to put on, its one size designed to fit all and I found it the wrong shape in some areas but it's easy to adjust so I would not left that out you off. There are holes for the eyes, nose and mouth and then two slits on each side to fix the mask in place from behind your ears.

It felt very gently once is it on, unlike most face masks it does not dry and tighten which some people will love, especially if you have sensitive skin.

It felt SUPER moisturizing and refreshing whilst on my face and after I'd taken it off. There was a little tingly sensation but this made it felt like it was actually doing something, which I love, I like when you can actually feel a product working.

Result

After use I feel like my skin is in much better condition, it has definitely helped to even out my skin and give my skin moisture, It's a face mask I would definitely buy again, its a very easy and quick application  and I am now interested in trying the day cream to compare.

Night Night Skin: What I use on my skin before bed

Hello Lovelies,



Today's post is about my skincare routine before bed/when you don't have to leave the house and aren't worried about appearances! Currently I am in my pj's, sitting in bed, Netflix on in the background (Pretty Little Liars to be precise) with hair in a bun and makeup free, having done my cleansing routine.

Right then here's what I like to do

Step 1: Run a cloth under hot water
(Optional) Step 2: Add a couple drops of tea tree oil onto hot cloth- Tea tree oil works as a great anti-bacterial agent and helps combat blemishes
Step 3: Place hot cloth over face for about 1-2 minutes- This will open up your pores for a deep cleansing
Step 4: two pumps of the Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Cleanser, gently massage into skin. Leave for about a minute then wash off with hot cloth
Step 5: Apply the Botanic's All Bright Hydrate Night Cream
Step 6: (Most Important step) Settle down and watch Netflix in bed


 

I have blemish prone skin therefore regular cleansing is essential for my skin aswell as finding a good moisturizer. I tend to change my moisturizer depending on the current needs of my skin.

I am in the process of trying to take better care of my skin and trying to regularly keep to a set skincare routine as it can be hard. Sometime we wake up late and have a busy day and head and just don't have the time to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize and the same for bedtime, sometimes I will just get to cosy in bed and become too tired, so I will just use a face wipe and put whatever moisturizer I can find on but my aim is to get into a better routine.

Products mentioned:

Botanic's All Bright Hydrate Night Cream- this is a wonderfully rich moisturizer and feels so nice on my skin! It's one of those products that you can just feel working and adding something positive to your skin. It's very easy to apply and feels non greasy. Helps to promote healthy looking skin. It does claim to brighten skin but I have not experienced that benefit but it definitely works as a hydrating night cream, your skin will feel wonderful in the morning.

The Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Cleanser- works well for my skin, as I experience blemishes the tea tree and witch hazel help to clean out nasty and unwelcome bacteria. it s easy to apply and not drying like some tea tree products. It's a good product to use as part of your skincare routine.

Face Mask Friday: Superdrug Witch Hazel Mud Mask

I've recently become a little bit obsessed with face masks, I love incorporating them into my skincare routine, a luxury pamper or to tackle skin problems. There is something nice about sitting down after a long day with a face mask on and catching up on your favorite program (Pretty Little Liars for me at the moment!)

Today I am going to talk about the Superdrug Witch Hazel Mud Mask. I purchase this product a few months ago and thought I'd finished it but alittle goes along way with some face masks and I've managed to squeeze an extra mask out!

 
Now I have to apologize for the dreadful selfie, it's impossible
for me to take a good picture wearing a facemask!

Double apology because I have just looked on the Superdrug website and could not seem to find
this face mask from the Refreshing Face Mask Range,  they do still sale Cucumber Peal Off Mask and Vitamin E Moisture Mask from the same range.

Now on to face mask!

Before applying any face mask or treatment I always cleanse and pat my face with a hot cloth to clean and open up my pores as to get the most of out the product.

In my opinion a good face mask is one that completely dries out, this makes it feel that is it actually doing something.

I suffer from problem skin from time to time and so I am consistently looking for something to treat and help prevent blemishes. This product has witch hazel which does wonders for the skin, mainly helps to fight spots and blemishes, it helps to reduce inflammation and soothe skin.

I do like this mask, it takes a few applications to see results but after one use I definitely feel a difference in my skin, it feels refreshed and smoother.

I have read reviews that claim this product irritates and causes redness on sensitive skin, so I wouldn't recommend this if you have sensitive skin, or perhaps only use it for half the time.

Thank you for reading!

Let me know below some of your favorite face masks at the moment! :)

A few the positives in one place

Quotes to pick you up

Do you ever need a little pick me up? A snippet of inspiration? That’s why I love quotes, 

I'm thinking of compiling a few of my favorite quotes into one place and doing a little feature perhaps each week of quotes which have really caught my eye, they’re just great source of inspiration.

Below are a few to start us off with, followed by my interpretation  

“Collect Moments, Not Things” is a great one, yes its lovely to have things, maybe a memento or two, but it’s the moment that counts, I am guilty of taking my phone out almost instantly to capture the moment, and by the time my camera pops up the moment as passed, so live the moment, and if you’ve got time afterwards Instagram it!   

“All the makeup in the world won’t make you less in 
secure” – Melanie Martinez

People say we use make up to hide ourselves, to conceal how we really feel and hide our flaws, to portray a false version of ourselves to the world in the hope we are liked. I believe it’s easy to pass judgement however it’s different for everyone, if makeup makes you feel good why not wear it? If something can give us a little extra confidence for the day, why wouldn’t we do it? But each to their own as makeup is not for everyone, but we are all beautiful, some of us just need to be told it, to feel it and like Beyonce does, own it!

“Be Good, but more importantly, Do Good” -

Unknown

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” - Dr Sesuss

I just love these two quote, it’s so rewarding when we do something good, that it really makes just feel good, simple as that really. And when something bad happens it’s so easy to focus on it, yes crying it out is important, but it’s a memory, the things we go through help shape us as a person, so smile about that.

Thanks for reading.

Boots Skincare Haul!

So today I went into Boots with not intention other than to have a little browse, about an hour later I ended up purchasing some skincare products! 



What I got

Good Things Five Minute Facial Mask Anti-Blemish with Avocado and Gogi Berry £3.99 down from £5.99

Blistex Lip Brilliance Blushing SPF15 £1.29 down from £2.59

Boots Essentials Cucumber 3 Minute Clay Mask £1.50
Boots Essentials Cucumber Moisturising Cream £1.50

Link:  http://www.boots.com



The Boots Essentials Range is my favorite little discovery, it's so affordable and is also a good product!

I have been using the 3 Minute Clay Mask recently and I have been loving it! It contains calming cucumber and vitamins to help cleanse and clear out impurities and excess oils from our pores, working to leave skin clean and toned. When using this mask I have been leaving it on for around 6 minutes until I feel it drying and tightening, so I that get the most out of it, after which I wash it off with a hot cloth. It really works to smooth and even out my skin, I definitely feel refreshed after using it, if you are unsure I would say it's definitely worth a try for the price!

I have used the facial scrub and found it really easy to apply and use, I used an exfoliator glove from Primark along side it. I like to use this before I put on any makeup as it works to clean, soften and clear away any dry patches on my skin, so that when it comes to apply makeup I am working with a clean base.

I can't fault this range, it has worked wonders for me and for the price these are products I would definitely repurchase. I have not used the Cucumber Moisturising Cream yet, so we will see what that is like, but I did have a smell and if you like cucumber you will like it, all of the Boots Essential products feel very pure and natural which is good for your skin.

The Good Things Five Minute Face Mask is something I have been wanting to try for a while and I thought I might as well seen as it was on offer. The face mask claims to "Make skin clearer, brighter and smoother, all at the same time. There's green clay and Kaolin to draw out impurities, avocado oil to moisturise, goji berry to extract to soothe and willow bark extract for radiance" To be honest I was sold on goji berry and avocado as they are two products which I had not seen together before and felt they sounded interesting. 




The Blistex Lip Brilliance Blushing SPF15 was a little last minute spare of the moment buy. I have always been a fan of the Blistex range as they have worked well in the past when I have suffered from dry lips. This is a great little product to throw in your everyday bag. It feels moisturising and gives a lovely pink tint. 

So thats about it for whatI got from Boots

Thank you so much for reading!

Tested Review : Simple Spotless Anti Blemish Moisturiser

Today I will be reviewing the Anti Blemish Moisturiser from Simple's Spotless Skin range.


I have always liked Simple products for their gentle and pure formula, they are clear from harsh chemicals and artificial perfumes, making them great for most skin types, specifically sensitive skin.

I have used the Simple Rich Moisturiser for years and I love it, however I have been suffering from blemishes recently and I wanted a good swap in moisturisers to keep combat my outbreaks.

This product incorporates Zinc to absorb excess oils, Corn Starch to mattify shine throughout the day, Aloe Vera which softens the skin and Chamomile to work as an anti irritant. It also contains  natural antibacterial agent Phytosphingosine which helps to fight spots and blemishes.

All in all sounds pretty good, especially for the bargain price of £2.29 at Superdrug down from £4.59! SO It claims to show results from day 1, which I did not experience but it definitely moisturises and helps mattifiy my skin well, now I have been using this for about a month now , I've actually just repurchased a new tube! after about a months use I can say I've noticed a considerable improvement to my skin, I still suffer from blemishes but I find this product definitely helps to reduce size and appearance and also to clear them. 

I do find with this product being matte the consistency of the formula isn't ideal as a base for makeup so I would tend to use a more moisturised base if I knew I was wearing makeup for the day.


All this being said I do use this in combination with skin cleanses, scrubs and other moisturisers, I also try to live a healthy lifestyle to help treat my blemishes, by drinking enough water, regular exercise and healthy diet.   

Thanks for reading.

Skincare Haul/Mini review Superdrug/Boots

Little Skincare Haul 

Superdrug Skincare Haul

Recently my skin has been suffering from spots and dryness, I purchased I few products from Superdrug to help save my skin! 

The first product I want to mention is Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick with Witch Hazel Extract, this has been my savior! I'd heard good reviews but was skeptical, I have to save it is a must have if you suffer from blemishes and unwanted spots, this gets to work quick I noticed a improvement the next day. By all means this is not a magic wand, the product dries out spots and blemishes leaving your skin fairly dry  therefore a good moisturizer is needed. I can't really fault this product, it's a compact size to carry around in your daily bag, a little goes a long way so I see this lasting a while before I repurchase.

I am also IN LOVE with Burt's Bees lip range, I never did understand the hype until now! I bought  Burt's Bees Refreshing Rafraichissant with Pink Grapefruit. This leaves lips beautifully soft and feeling healthy. I love the scent too!

Recommend! 

Witch Hazel Blemish Stick £1.79 from Superdrug. 

Burt's Bees Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit £3.69 from Boots

To combat my dry skin I wanted a good moisturizer. I pick up Garnier  Moisture Plus Protect and Garnier Moisture Match.

Moisture Plus Protect is a daily protective moisturizer with SPF 20 

with 24 Hour Hydration. A few benefits..."Enriched with Vitamin E, SPF 20 and Calrdula Extract and Lemon Extract"

All these things sound pretty good, I've used this once since purchased, it was not as soothing as other moisturizers I've tried however I am going to give it a chance, it has alot of the key things our skin could want, lets just put it to the test!

Moisture Match for combination oily skin is a 24 hour mattifying fresh cream with green tea extract. I have not tried this yet but hoping to use both Garnier moisturizers in rotation to see which works best for my skin. It's important to remember we;re all different, what might work for someone may not work for someone else but it's important to try and test and find whats best for you.

Lastly I have Dove, Purely Pamering Beauty Cream Wash and Simple Cleansing Lotion 

Dove was a last minute counter buy at Superdrug for 75p so I could not resist 

I love anything with shea butter, theres a luxurious feeling about the scent to it. 

I have always been a fan of Simple products, they have always liked my skin and helped make it softer. They tend to work for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.

Just a haul and little review of some of the products I have tried this time
