My Go To Skincare Products

Hellooooo again :) So my second blog post is on a few skincare products I honestly feel at this moment in my life I cant live without.  Some of the items as you'll see from the picture above are drug store items and high end.  For about 2 years I was having a few problems with my skin, I used to to take really bad breakouts on my forehead and temples.  I started to feel really self conscious about my skin so much so I went to private skin clinics (which to be totally honest the skin clinic really didn't help me) and my GP.  Its only recently in the past 5 months I've seen a major transformation in my skin and its been since using all the above products.


Firstly,  Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser and Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub.  I actually hadn't read any reviews on these products before I bought them I just took a fancy to it when I was in boots one day the thing that attracted me to it was the fact it contains salicylic acid and I've been told numerous times this ingredient is great for blemishes as it kills bacteria.  Now I know people are very skeptical of products that contain alcohol, and I'm by no way saying people with severe acne should go out and buy this product, I simply just want to let you know about my personal experience of it.
   So basically in my routine I use the clearing daily scrub every morning.  I KNOW I KNOW you'll be thinking why is she exfoliating everyday.  This is no where near being like a normal exfoliator its nice a creamy texture with tiny little microbeads the beads dont feel rough on the skin at all you barely even notice they're in there!  I then rinse this off my face and let my face dry naturally I dont use a towel on my face at all.  I then pour some of the clearing cleanser onto a cotton pad (once my face is nice and dry) and basically just wipe all over my face with it this will take every inch of remaining make up or stubborn dirt you cant see off of your face.  Again some of you will be thinking how is this going to help it will just dry your skin out but I genuinley feel products like this are amazing teamed up with the right type of moisturisers and they cost a fraction of the price you'll literally get these 2 products for under £10.
     These two products have been amazing for me the redness in my skin went down really fast and I now have no little bumps at all!!! Like every new product you try you really need to stick with it for at least two weeks and trust me if your skin is similar to what mine was you'll see amazing results.


This the takes me onto my next step which is Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.  I use this morning and night straight after I've cleansed.  It really is a beautiful product it makes your skin feel amazing.  When I first started using this i seen results straight away, any red marks i had were drastically reduced my skin looked tighter and in general looked much fresher not long after using Estee Lauder products as well my work colleagues actually commented on how nice and radiant my skin was looking.  I actually cant stress enough how good this product is, its not cheap but its absolutely worth every single penny!!


On to the next one... Estee Lauder Day Wear.  I use the normal/combination skin creme this is what I have found to be best for me.  I received a sample size of this product and I have to say I've never seen such good results after using a product once.  The first thing I loved about it was the nice fresh smell the creme has it smells of freshly cut cucumber and its a nice pale green colour, the texture of it feels nice and thick but not too thick and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling which I have found a lot of moisturisers can do and i absolutely hate that.  I sound like a broken record but again i cant praise this item enough and do not let the price put you off because there is absolutely no way you'll be disappointed in the results.

Nearly there sorry if I seem like I'm ranting... Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator.  This is just a sample size I've not actually bought the full size yet but I love using this before I put foundation on I think it helps give a really nice even finish and a lovely glow to your foundation if you use a matte foundation like I do.


Finally!!! Dalacin Topical Solution.  Now this product only applies to people with really bad blemishes as you can actually only get this on prescription.  I've been using this for about 4/5 months and this has been a god send I'm so glad my GP prescribed it to me.  I had tried a good few other prescription products before this and none of them had the same results.  This teamed up with a really good skincare routine will definitely help anyone with mild acne.  I put this on every night after my full routine, you probably can use it in the morning as well but I felt I seen better results using it just before I went to bed.

First Blog Post - Pay Day Treats

Sooooooo... this is my first ever blog post (so go easy on me).  Basically my blog is going to be about beauty, fashion and a little bit of lifestyle and by lifestyle I mean food (major foodie)!!
    BEAUTY my focus on beauty will mainly be skincare reason being I have been through a lot with my skin and tested quite a few different products.  When I say I've been through a lot I basically mean a few stubborn blemishes nothing serious so i really do feel for those who have serious skin problems and hope my blog will help people who have been in a similar or worse situation to myself.  I'll also have a large focus on hair products and some other random beauty products.
         FASHION I'm a major shopaholic/impulse buyer im the person that ends up posting 40 items on eBay a month because I've spent all my wages within a few days (so watch out for my eBay link). I'll be sharing outfit posts, the DO's and DONT's (i.e VPL my major pet hate and i'll never understand it for the month of Sunday!! For those who don't know what VPL means it may well apply to you and help is at hand).
       Finally LIFESTYLE I have the appetite of a large rugby player so you will probably see a good amount of food posts from me!  I like to think of myself as a fine diner (on pay day) but I'm the first to admit my absolute guilty please is a cheap cheeseburger from a burger van disgusting I know (unless your with me on this one).

So onto what my post is actually about sorry for going off on such a tangent... Here is a haul of some of the things I treated myself to in celebration of PAY DAY!


First things first two of my absolute must haves in life... Estee Lauder Day Wear Anti Oxidant Creme 50ml £40  & Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair 30ml £48.  These two products are literally the best thing since ASOS was founded.  I've genuinely never used anything better on my skin I will go into a more detailed post about this with a full review if you buy two products just now as well you get a gift with purchase and if you go to boots you also get £10 worth of points with two purchases.


Secondly Office On top pointed High Heels in Light Pink £65.  I'm not usually a light pink or just in general pink person but I absolutely fell in love with these.  I love pointed heels just now and i think these are an absolute must have staple item.  I love matching them with skinny jeans.
Which brings me onto my Topshop Super High Joni Jeans in White £36.  This is actually the first pair of white jeans ive ever purchased.  I love the Joni Jeans from Topshop simply because they are so comfy and I love everything high waisted so it kind of adds up.



I would like to think im leaving the best til last but then i would be taking credit away from Estee Lauder skincare soooo this is a close second.  ZARA Pastel Faux Leather Jacket.  I absolutely had to have this when I seen it I fell in love with the colour.  This came to £69.99 and its worth every penny.  I have found before with faux leather that its quite thin and has no heat this is the total opposite it feels really heavy and it actually feels similar to real leather.


Sorry if I've gave you a sore head, but I hope you've enjoyed my first post and hopefully this will be the first of many! Let me know what you think of the products/items or if you have any questions at all just holaaaa!!
