Clearance alert! Yes to Tomatoes Charcoal Paper Mask


Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Paper Mask
Hi lovlies!
Just to let you know, Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Paper Mask is on sale in Boots in store only. It's £2.99 on the Boots website here http://bit.ly/2usMHjX however it's 75p in store! I bought... all I could find. I had it before and really liked the way it worked  - it makes my skin feel refreshed and really moisturised. It does feel a bit tingly at first but after the tinging goes away it feels really nice on the skin. I use it once a week or more if required - it keeps my skin feel smooth and calm.
75p is such a bargain & I am so happy I've got a back up for the next few weeks :)
Love, A. x

French Pharmacy: Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser and Eye Cream for Sensitive Skin

Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser and Eye Cream for Sensitive Skin
I am soo in love with French pharmacy skincare products at the moment! Like literally everything I use for my morning and evening skincare routine is from French pharmacy brands. Bioderma, Klorane, Vichy, La Roche-Posay you name it all! It's affordable, relatively accessible now and it... works! (most of the time anyway ha!)

Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser and Eye Cream for Sensitive Skin
On my little trip to Paris last month I picked Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser for Night (about €25) & Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream (about €20) to go with the moisturiser. I have read so many wonderful things about their Hyaluron Filler (which I also bought) I decided to give Eucerin moisturisers a go. I asked the lady at the shop about which moisturiser would be the best for my skin and she recommended this one. So... would I buy it again?...

I know you probably cannot buy it anywhere in the UK at the present time (maybe some single mac counters) and I know it is sold out online – it has been so long since I actually got it but there was so many reviews popping up on the net at the time I thought I would just skip it. My mistake. :P

Mac Apres Chic Mineralize Skinfinish in Stereo Rose

Stereo Rose is a very sought-after coral blusher with golden shimmer and a hint of pink. It has frosty finish.  This is my first ever Stereo Rose and I must admit I understand why it is so popular. It is just such a wearable shade. I have been wearing it every day since I got it! The ratio of colour to shimmer in Stereo Rose is just right. It gives you a nice hint of colour while highlighting your cheeks at the same time. It is perfect for daytime looks, night-time looks (you can build it up), looks for special occasions… This product is so versatile it is almost perfect.

Day 7: Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin


Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleaneser and Clarins Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin

Hello my beauties! My second update on Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleaneser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin is much more positive than the last one. Remember, after 3 days of using both Clarins Foaming Cleanser and Toner my skin was covered in blemishes. My skin was even worse than before! I was hoping that it was just the first stage of getting rid of all dirt from the surface of my skin and … I was right!
The skin is much more even, smoother and all the blemishes… have gone! It just looks lovely. I love my new skin. It is not 100% free of any blemishes or spots (there are blemishes caused by hormones etc) but my skin condition just improved so much since I started using the two products! I can’t say that the oiliness of my skin has gone nor it improved; my T-zone is very shiny before lunchtime but it may be caused by foundation (?) or primer that is not suitable (I use liquid foundations) although I used different foundations / primers + powder over the 7 day period I haven’t noticed any difference so you probably cannot control your skin oiliness with any product anyway. But I would definitely recommend both Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion!
I use both of them twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.
I will post one more update 4 weeks of continuous using. A. xx

Day 3: Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin


Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleaneser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin
Hello girls (and boys)! My first update on Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleaneser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin is not so positive (I wish it was tho!) I know I know it’s only been three days and I should not expect miracles but… my skin actually is being bombarded with blemishes and unevenness. It is worse than it was before I started using both the cleanser and the lotion. But you hear those great stories that when you start using a new product (any cleansing product) that brings out all impurities and dirt onto the surface of your skin first (and hence the blemishes) and then it hopefully will enter the next stage, which is deeply cleaned, smooth and blemishes-free skin. Hopefully the dirt will get picked up from the surface and my new, perfect skin will emerge from underneath. ;)
I will post next update after 7 days and 4 weeks of continuous using, hopefully it will be more positive then! A.

Day 1: Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin


Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin
After pretty much careless (when it comes to skin care) summer I decided it is time to invest in a new, decent skin care regime. And it has to be effective. After years of fighting with my oily and prone to blemishes skin I finally want to find something worth investing my money in.
Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Toning Lotion both for Combination or Oily Skin
I have never tried Clarins before so when I wanted to purchase products from their range I did some research on the internet first, read some reviews and made a decision I will give it a go. At that price point (£17.50 for each, but you can get them 15% cheaper at feelunique.com while they are having a sale) I am expecting decent results.
