Dry Skin Be Gone! - Garnier Moisture Match - Dry to Very Dry

Tuesday, 2 December 2014

It's always a struggle to find a good moisturiser for me. I've been through so many bottles and jars of moisturisers but i've never had any luck with them, until now! 

I was using Benefit's Total Moisture Facial Cream when I suddenly realised that it did nothing for me. I tend to get a very dry/flaky nose and every time I was using Benefit's moisturiser it only made my skin a tiny bit less dry, but always when putting foundation on it would cling onto my dry skin.  


I was watching some youtube videos and this one girl was using this moisturiser, and her skin looked so beautifully radiant and none dry when she applied this. Of course I went out and bought it. It retails for about £5.99 from boots.  

After only using it once I noticed what a big different it made! My skin was smooth and hydrated and there was no more flaky skin on the nose! Result! Also it isn't heavy or greasy on the skin as it absorbs right in. Would totally recommend to those who have dry skin. 

What do you think of Garnier Moisture Match range? Have you tried any of them? Let me know in the comments!

Holy Grail - My evening skincare routine

Wednesday, 2 April 2014

Hi everyone! Hope you all doing well. I've been super busy with college work lately as i'm trying finish my college work asap! Because the sooner I finish the sooner i'll get my holidays! 

Anyway...this year one of my ''new year resolution'' was getting a good cleansing/skin care routine down and sticking to it! 

I'm always that girl that usually doesn't take cleansing seriously as last year I would usually just take my makeup off with some wiped and bioderma. 

But for the last 4 months i've been sticking to this routine (finally after getting a good products that didn't make my skin go mad!) and it's done me good! My face haven't felt more cleaner that this! 


These are the products I've been using. 
Clairsonic mia 
Cetaphil Gental Skin Cleanser 
L'oreal Paris - Skin perfection 15 seconds miracle oil cleanser 
La Roche Posay - Effaclar duo+ 

The first thing I do it take all of my makeup off by using this. It's a cleansing oil and I know what you are all thinking ''OIL TO CLEAN FACE?!?! NO!'' I know I know...that's how I felt before using it but oh my! It is a miracle! 

You get about 3 pumps of the oil and rub it all over on your dry face. You can also use this to remove your eye makeup. As you apply it on your face it literally melts away your makeup off your skin! Its amazing! After doing that for like...15 seconds...you remove it by a warm wash cloth or if your lazy like me just normal water & face & bam all makeup and oil is gone!  



After I do that I will use the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser because I don't like to think that oil is still on my face, which in reality there isn't but just to make sure I use this to complete 100% wash everything of my face. 

Because my skin is very sensitive I only use the clairsonic cleanser once a week. Usually on a sunday just to get rid of everything and to exfoliate my skin. the cetaphil works amazing on my skin, doesn't irritate and removes all dirt and makeup! hooray! 



I will then apply this all over my face. Some people say you should only use it on your blemishes or where you think blemishes are showing. But since my skin is teenage/acne prone/i've been on accutane so I get very stressful if I get acne back I just use it all over my face day and night. I usually put more product if there is a breakout on my skin. 

You all must of heard about this product and how amazing it is. For me it wasn't. Yes it does work but with me it takes 3 or 4 weeks to completely get rid of my stubborn acne so I was a but disappointed with this product. But I do feel like it does kinda work...

Benefit Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer - Review

Sunday, 1 September 2013

Hi everyone!
I bought Benefit's Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer a couple of weeks ago so I thought I might review it!


I bought this just simple of it's ''15 hour stay'' because who doesn't want their makeup staying for 15 hours?! But I was disappointed with it. Which is odd since I LOVE their ''that gal'' primer. 



The packaging was nice. I don't really have nothing to stay about it really. The box looked fabulous! Anyway...



What Benefit says about the primer: 
'''Flawless works overtime! Our instant PRO-long primer acts like a magnet to lock on your foundation for 15 fresh & flawless hours. This invisible stick primer glides directly onto skin for optimal wear and a natural-looking finish. Go longer.''


The stick is a flesh toned but comes out invisible. For me I was a bit unsure on this because of bacteria. You apply the primer on your face like a glue stick. You ''glide it directly onto skin then immediately apply foundation and blend together.'' For me this felt exactly like a glue stick but less sticky. It was alright, it also felt wet. 
I then applied foundation. I used MAC Studio Fix Fluid and Nars Sheer Glow. Let me tell you, it did NOT last for 15 hours let alone 8. I have combination skin, more on the dry side than oily and this primer made my skin look oily! I never had oily skin so with all the dewy and products for dry skin I was hopeless. It ''melted'' my foundation and made it transfer to everything! A lot of people like this so maybe this product is toward the oily type rather than dry. 

Have you tired this primer? Let me know in the comments! Hope this review helped you on deciding buying this or not :)
