Summer Skincare

2 Comments

Hey Dolls,

I’ve hit the milestone of 50 blog posts!

Today I am going to share with you my summer skincare routine and all the products I have been loving using on my skin!

A good skincare routine is so important and I always make sure I remove my makeup properly, whilst avoiding makeup wipes as much as possible!

Let’s start with the morning- this will always be something quick as I am never awake enough for anything too intense! I remove any excess oils from my skin with the Nip n Fab cleansing pads, I change which ones I use each time I run out! Then I grab my Liz Earle instant tonic boost, pop on some moisturiser and my eye cream and I’m good to go!

My evening skin routine depends if I’ve been wearing makeup or not. If not I go straight in with my Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, if I have been wearing makeup I start by removing it with micellar water and cotton pads. After cleansing I’ll either use my Liz Earle tonic or Caudalie beauty elixir. Even though it’s summer and my skin is oilier I still love using face oil, my fave at the moment is Caudalie overnight detox oil which leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated. To finish off I use my holy grail eye cream- Lancome genifique yeux light pearl, not only is the metal applicator super cooling but it is fantastic for brighting dark eyes!

Finally I’ll add a couple of products I love that I use in the summer!

  1. Superdrug Vitamin E hydrating mist- great for refreshing your skin
  2. Nip n Fab Glycolic Scrub- I use this a few times each week to exfoliate my skin
  3. Glam Glow Supermud & L’oreal Detox clay mask- I love using these once a week
  4. Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet mask & Origins Drink up- I also use these hydrating masks once a week, to give my skin a boost!
  5. Dior Glow lip balm- hint of colour with SPF, the perfect summer lip product!

My Holiday Washbag!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week I thought I’d tell you what I take in my holiday wash bag to help you guys out if you have a holiday coming up!

washbag

Right lets start with with facial skincare:face

I took minis of all my usual Liz Earle skin care which was great as it saved space and made packing what I needed super easy. I also took a mini Micellar water to remove my makeup and clean my face at the end of each day to freshen up as I find makeup wipes dry out my skin. To keep my lips from cracking in the heat I took my lush lip scrub in mint julips which I use all the time and love it! My eyes also get dry after flying so I always take an eye spray.

hair

Next onto hair! As well as what is pictured above I took a bottle of Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner. Back to what actually was still in the wash bag! Everyone knows if you have long hair the sun and heat makes it so dry! To solve this one I took one of my fave brands Mark Hills Miracoilous Moroccan Argan Oil, smells amazing and works a treat.

Next up is Charles Worthington Sunshine Protector Salt Spray, this was great for leaving my hair to dry naturally into beachy waves and it also has some protection for your hair against sun damage.

Two Tresemme products were in my case, the mini heat protection spray which I used when I wanted to curl my hair. The second was the mini hairspray, I have always loved this hairspray as it gives great hold and brushes out easily without leaving your hair feeling sticky.

Finally for hair was my new favourite Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo, love this product! Well worth the hype and is fab for the in between hair wash freshen up!

random washbag

The final few bits in my washbag are a bit random! Toothpaste obviously an essential, some Voltarol because its always good to have a Venus Snap razor perfect for travelling as it keeps it clean and stops the moisture bars getting stuck to everything else in your bag! The final thing is the Sonic electric toothbrush which is so good and perfect for travelling!

Hope this helps you when packing!

Ciao Bellas,

Liz Earle Skincare Unboxing

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

For this weeks post I thought I’d do something a bit different. I ordered a bunch of new skincare as mine has run out and decided to give the Liz Earle range a go!

I ordered 4 products and also got 2 muslin clothes and a sample of their fragrance free.

opened-box

This is what I saw when I opened the box! I love the packaging of the products so let’s look at each one in more detail. This is her Daily Routine set which is £45, personally I think thats great value when the cleanser on its own is normally £26!!

First up is the infamous Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser- I’ve used this before and love it! It’s perfect for removing makeup even mascara, it’s in my top 2 cleansers the other being Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm.

The other products I haven’t used before but have heard great things!

In my old skin care routine I didn’t use a toner so I’m excited to give the Instant Boost Skin Tonic a go! It smells incredible and is packed full of natural ingredients such as aloe vera, cucumber and chamomile to leave your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated!

products

When it comes to moisturiser I am super picky! I like a really hydrating moisturiser, that isn’t too thick and doesn’t make my combination/oily skin look oilier! The moisturiser I got was the Skin Repair Light Moisturiser for combination/oily skin. First of all I love that its in a pump because I personally feel pots of cream are unhygienic and messy! It feels so nice on my hand I can’t wait to try it on my face!

And finally the Superskin Eye Cream, something I am very picky about. I’ve only found 2 eye creams I like which are the Simple Soothing Eye Balm and the Kiehls Creamy Avocado Eye cream. I have dark circles and dry eyes so need something that combats both and I’m hoping this will be added to my list! Again packed with natural ingredients including pomegranate and green tea to combat dark circles!

I’ll post an update in a month of how I’m finding the products!

Ciao Bellas,
