So I am aware that the whole Micellar Water hype was months and months ago, and I did buy it then, as everyone else did, but I just used it a little bit, on the odd occasion. Anyway one of my friends was telling me that face wipes are bad for your skin because of everything they contain and this is a much better way to remove your makeup. So I took her advice and my skin has been a lot better recently, I think it's to do with a combination of things but this definitely helps! I still like to use a wipe to get off my mascara because I feel like some of this on a cotton pad would make the process take so much longer, but removing face make-up, brow and lip products, this is what I go for. Obviously I have yet to try any other brands yet but I'll have to look into what's good, but I do really like this one, I'd definitely repurchase.
Next up is La Roche Posay Effaclar K+ Daily Moisturiser. I've been absolutely loving this for the past few weeks, but first I will say, I have oily skin and get blemishes, so when I recommend skincare products I'm saying what works for me and my skin, and it won't necessarily work for everyone! This has been an absolute necessity to me, I've been using it every morning and evening. It's anti-oxidation and anti-sebum(oil) for up to 8 hours which makes this the perfect moisturiser to wear under makeup. I would agree that skin looks more refined, as after I use this my complexion does look so much better. Obviously it can't fix everything to do with my problem skin but I'm liking it a lot, I'll definitely repurchase. This is the 3rd product I've tried from the Effacer range so far and I've liked them all, so I'll definitely see what else they have! And a lot of these products are in a "Buy 1 get 2nd half price" offer on boots.com.
This is my new eye cream which I purchased from feelunique.com. This one's a bit more controversial and I didn't know whether I should include it or not, but it's a good product so I thought I'd just put it in and see what you think. The eye cream is from a brand called the Emu Oil Well. First of all, I'd done no prior research on this, I was buying other stuff, thought I could do with an eye cream, so chucked one with good reviews in my basket. I had no idea that Emu Oil was oil which came from an emu, I know that sounds stupid but I just thought it was the name of the company and that's that. I did look into this after though and apparently all their emus are free-range which softens the blow. Anyway this eye cream has actually been pretty good, my biggest problem is dark circles and this has definitely helped, it's pretty thick and moisturising and a little goes a long way. Because of where the oil comes from I'm not sure I'd repurchase, but I'll definitely use all of this, waste not want not, right.
Lately I've actually been favouring this foundation over MAC Studio Fix Fluid, so I feel like this is a big deal. I'm trying to figure out if it helps me stay matte for longer, because I think it does. It claims to be a 3 in 1 formula with primer, foundation and concealer. To be honest I haven't been using a primer with it every day because my face feels so good after using moisturiser and the moisturiser promises 8h of matte skin, so I've only been using it as foundation. I have still been using concealer too for my blemishes, but I do feel like it's a nice full-coverage foundation. I also love the colour. MAC go down to NC15 or NW10, so if you've got cooler skin tones (pink) then it doesn't go as pale as if you've got warm skin tones (yellow). I have a pink undertone, however I use NW13, so the foundation is the wrong colour basically, but I need it to be that pale. I wouldn't say it looks awful but every now and again I think I look a bit warmer than I should. However this foundation is really pale and has pink undertones, perfect for me!
I have been absolutely loving this face mask. I think it's the first thing that has actually made a difference when it comes to my huge pores! It's got a lovely, creamy yet light texture, it exfoliates and smells nice and minty. I also like the tingly feeling it gives because I feel like it's doing something. The idea here is you massage it into your skin, leave it on for 5 mins for a quick refresh or 15 mins for a full cleanse and rinse off. It's so simple and I've enjoyed using it. You only need about a grape size and concentrate it on your T-zone. It's by Soap & Glory if you can't quite see in the photo and is currently on offer at boots.com.
I picked up these big boys from feelunique.com. They recently(ish) had 20% off for students, so I thought I'd make the most of it and get the salon sized bottles I had been wanting. I've really liked the hair mask and miracle filler spray from this range so I thought I'd fork out and get the shampoo and conditioner, after all I do love my hair and it's been through a lot. These bottles will last me a while I'm sure. I really like the smell, how they make my hair feel and also the anti-fade technology that they use, as I colour my hair so bright I hate it when it fades too quickly, and this definitely helps prevent that.
I'm putting this in even though I think this is just my eternal favourite, this is my scent. I've loved it for ages and use it nearly every day. I love the bottle for this perfume, it travels really well and fits in any bag. With top notes of black coffee, heart notes of white florals and base notes of vanilla, this perfume is just me all over, it smells divine. I'll repurchase forever.
Lastly I thought I'd throw this in. It's the instant coconut lattes by Nescafe. I picked them up at my local Morrisons and they're nearly all gone. I'm definitely going back for more. I'm a sucker for anything coconut flavoured anyway, for example, coconut Lindor are my favourite chocolates ever. So anyway, I tried them, they taste so good and I'm hooked.
