Boots haul




Hello, 

Today was a boots day, I found myself needed some general things from boots and then I decided to by other things that I also needed and then I headed to the makeup aisle which was awesome and then I realised that the NYX stand was fully stocked and I really needed another white eyeliner which I needed and I think it's quite decent although so far I haven't found one that I love and is really opaque. Then I also got another of the suede liquid lipstick which was great and I love the formula and it has decent lasting power. 

Then I also picked up a BB cream from L'Oreal which I really wanted just as something that is a lot light weight on my skin and I really like it for days when I don't want to wear as heavy duty foundations. And I also wanted to try out the new Natural Collection Brow gel which is one of the best I've tried so far and it makes my eyebrows look a lot fuller which is great! 

Have you been shopping recently? Let me know if there's anything else I should pick up?

Boots tea tree and witch hazel pore strips


Hello,

So today is a skin care post and since I constantly have blackheads in my nose I decided to tryout these strips And I have to say I really like the step two but I find it difficult to get the step 1 to stick in the places I want it to. But really they're alright strips and I think it's satisfying when you see what they've pulled out.

Boots Botanics Hydrating eye cream




Hello,

So I wanted to do a review of an eye cream I picked up on a whim because I knew that I was running out, I have to admit that I'm not very impressed, the smell puts me off the whole product and I think it's around the £6 mark and it's exactly like the cheep £1 boots eye cream you can get which doesn't have the strange smell of play dough about it.

I think I'd give this a miss if you're going to try out an eye cream.

Day time skincare...


Hello,

So here's my day time skin care, I use the Effaclar duo + as a serum and then I moistures with my day moisturiser which makes my skin matte and then I put eye cream under my eyes. Simple!

Everyday skincare...

Hello, 

To give you a bit of a back story first I have very oily skin and it's prone to breakouts *the joys of being a teenagers* These are the products I've found work best with my skin to combat my breakouts and oiliness. 

The simply Sensitive eye cream was very cheap £3.49 so I'm not expecting it to do wonders but it's great to moisturise my eyes if they feel dry or irritated so it does the job, but I wouldn't recommend it if you actually want to combat wrinkles. 

The Effaclar duo plus is a bit more pricey £15.50 it's not cheap but it works wonders on my breakouts, black heads and oiliness. It's light weight, doesn't have much of a smell and is my perfect serum at the moment. But just a side note I don't particularly notice a difference between the plus and original formulae, just a heads up.

The Vichy Normaderm moisturiser, this is £12.00 which is also a bit pricey but again it combats my black heads and reduces my oil and it comes in a pump so reducing the amount of bacteria that gets into the product. I would highly recommend this to anyone with my sort of skin.

Botanics skin care

Hello,

The Botanics skincare at boots are extremely good quality, I've virtually finished the toner and night cream both of which I love to bits, and the Micellar water is the best I've tried so far! The prices are reasonable, the Toner is £3.99, the night cream £4.99 and the Micellar water £3.29. These are great prices for some extremely high quality products.

The Cleansing Toner from the all bright range is something that I've been using for months for after I've cleansed, it removes any impurities that my cleanser hasn't and leaves my skin feeling clean, but not tight and irritated as some Toners have in the past. I would also say that it's improved the look of some of my acne scars but I wouldn't say it's brightening properties are immediately noticeable. Over all I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to try some awesome skincare at a great price. 

The Hydrating night cream also by the all bright range, is extremely thick and moisturising it's great for my skin and I think has made my skin less oily, but my only annoyance with it is that it's in a tub which isn't particularly hygienic. But again I would recommend this but it is scented so I would be weary if you're skin reacts badly to scented products. 

The Micellar water is perhaps my favourite of the bunch, I use it to remove my makeup and it's amazing. I've tried other Micellar waters previously and I always felt like they left a greasy film on my face, but the Botanics one truly feels like water on the skin. It's an amazing product that I can't recommend enough.
