Acne-prone/ Oily skin — A Little Peculiar

Skincare: The Skin Clear Organic Toner

Toner is one of those products that, in my opinion, isn't really appreciated as much as it should be. I for one completely missed the toner step of my skincare routine for a while. I never saw it as something that was essential to my skin - That was until I started using ones that actually bene…

I've been trying to branch out recently and try new brands, well new for me anyway. That's when I came across The Inkey List and their straightforward skincare products. There's no pretty packaging and fancy names, all their products have the same black and white packaging. The products don't have catchy names either, they just have the ingredients on them, cutting out all the nonsense.

As someone who recently got heavily into their skincare regime, going on holiday somewhere hot meant finding one that would be fitting. The only problem with this was the liquid allowance on the flight over there, this meant that I had to leave out a few steps. So what steps did I leave out and what products did I pick to keep my skin looking healthy in the sun?

The Body Shop's Tea Tree Collection For Acne-Prone Skin

I've used a fair amount of products with tea tree in over the years. It's one of those ingredients that you're drawn to if you have acne prone and blemished skin. Why? Because it has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that are perfect to help fight those pesky spots. So when I went into The Body Shop the other day and spotted their Tea Tree collection, I had to pick it up and give it a go - But was it any good?

My thoughts on Simple skincare

I've heard a lot about Simple skincare, it's budget friendly and apparently worth it - So I've been told. I personally have only tried a few of their products and, in my experience, they're a bit hit or miss. So when I was running low on skincare, I thought I'd change up my routine a bit and try out some more Simple skincare products. Mainly because I was on a budget, but also because I wanted to try some more of their stuff out.

Soap & Glory's "The Fab Pore Purifying Foam Cleanser" review

This post contains PR samples but all words and opinions here are my own

A couple of months ago, I arrived home to a surprise PR package from Soap & Glory. In it, alongside their Pore-Refining mask, was The Fab Pore Purifying Foam Cleanser - Which is a product I've debated trying a few times but never picked it up. So when they so kindly sent it to me to try out, I was over the moon. So is the Soap & Glory "The Fab Pore Purifying Foam Cleanser" actually any good for us oily skin people?

I was casually scrolling through Twitter, as I do ~~endlessly~~ when I saw a Revolution tweet about their new primers. Four of them, that I couldn't choose from.

So here is a review of Revolution Beauty's primers.

Botanical Lab Skincare for Blemished Skin

The New Year gave me a perfect excuse to change up my skincare. Although, I do that anyway... No excuses needed, I like trying out products. So when I came across Botanical Lab products on Superdrug's website, they sounded ideal. Budget friendly and aimed at acne-prone skin - So is it any good?

I'm always learning more about what things and products are out there that are good for your skin, especially acne prone/blemished skin. So when I read about Aloe Vera and the amount of benefits it has for your skin including healing and anti-inflammatory properties, I decided to give it a go. I went onto Amazon and found this Aloe Pura organic Aloe Vera gel with tea tree oil, the tea tree oil was a big bonus as it has antibacterial properties which is great to treat acne.

Blogmas Day 19 || Is Murad's Oil-Control Moisturizer Worth it?

Oily skin is a struggle. Whether you're wearing makeup or not, if you have oily skin it will reach a point in the day where your skin feels horrible and you just want to scream. At least it does for me. So I am always trying out new products that may help control my skin, which is what the Murad "Oil-Control Mattifier" moisturising cream* is said to do. But does it actually do as it says for £35?

Blogmas Day 15 || Skincare update

My skincare routine is constantly changing, well not constantly but it does change a lot... Especially when the weather changes as my skin and its needs change too. I have very needy skin, if I leave it unattended it will rebel and go wild. By that I mean there's a high chance it'll break out.

Does This Product Actually Reduce Pores Instantly?

Just before summer, I decided that I wanted to start introducing a few luxury beauty products into my blog. Mainly because I needed some kind of excuse to buy them, but also because I wanted to share my experience using higher end products as I've always been led to believe that the higher the price, the better the product. So when I bought this Guerlain Pore Minimizer, I expected some good results.
