Skin Care | Tag Post

 

I was tagged by Megan at MaybeItsMeganLeigh today to do a skin care tag, thank you lovely!

If you haven't checked out her blog already.... DO IT! She has some great make up tips on her blog.

 

Right...

 

Describe your skin care routine in 5 words:

Exfoliate, cleanse, tone, moisturise, be healthy!

* 6 words, woopsie! So rebellious ;) * 

 

What's your skin type?

Combination

waaah :(

I breakout with spots and dry skin in certain places.

 

Top blemish zapper?

I wish I owned a spot zapper! If only I had Harry Potters wand.

I use different things for my spots all the time as my skin gets use to products and then they aren't as effective after a couple of weeks. I keep using La Roche Posay - Effaclar Duo when I have breakouts, but I wouldn't say it's a miracle worker.

 

Face wipes, yay or nay?

YAY and NAY!

I try my best not to use facial wipes as they aren't the best for your skin and don't always remove all of your make up, but I'm guilty of carrying a packet in my handbag daily for those spur of the moment times, when you end up staying over at one of your friends houses. I wouldn't be able to carry around my daily skin care products. My bag already weighs a tonne!  

 

Toner, yay or nay?

YAY! I always use toners after removing my make up and when I've been in the shower/bath. It's important to use a toner as it tightens your pores to minimise the chance of dirt and germs getting into your skin.

 

High-end skin care or high-end make up?

High-end skin care! Although it would kill me not been able to purchase any high-end make-up from time to time. I think your skin comes before make-up always! You never feel like your make up looks nice when you have bad breakouts/dry skin etc. I must admit that I'm quite new to 'high-end skin care' but I've noticed a big difference in my skin since using it.

 

What's the most unusual skincare product you've tried?

Hmmeee.. Possibly a mud bath I had on whilst on holiday in Turkey, it smelt disgusting! (I dread to think what was in it). But saying that I'd probably say all skincare products if I knew what was in them. Sometimes it's best not to know!

 

Tell us your top skincare tip

EXFOLIATE, CLEANSE, TONE, MOISTURISE, BE HAPPY & HEALTHY.

what goes in, must come out

always remember that when tucking into naughty food and drinks!

My tip would be to drink plenty of water as this really does improve your skin & keep stress levels low :)

L'Oreal Paris - Lumi Magique | Beauty

 

 L'Oreal Paris - Lumi Magique - Pure Light Primer

 

 As you all know I LOVE my L'Oreal!

So here is one of my recent purchases that I included in one of my posts to show you what I'd been spending on lately. Now as you can see in the picture above it's a pretty pearlescent colour, which is kind of like a liquid but a little thicker.

Now when I mentioned this product previously I didn't really rate it at all, in fact I thought it was a waste! Well... when I had tried it before I was using it as a primer/base to my foundation. Although I found that it left my skin feeling silky soft and made my foundation a lot more blend able, making it easier for me to apply my make up. I found that the longevity of the product didn't seem any different to usual and I found that you lost the luminous effect so it kind of defeated it's own purpose in my eyes.

 

Now my opinion has totally changed towards the product and I really like it.

 When using a few drops of the Lumi Magique mixed with foundation it has a total different effect. It makes the skin have the prettiest sheen/glow to it. If you're like me and you love your glowy products, give it a go! Honestly you won't regret it. (Nobody will think that your glow came from a bottle). I've also heard that it's really good to use as a highlighter, now I don't know about that just yet as I haven't tried it, but I'll have to give it a whirl this week. I hope it's just as good for that too as I've read quite a lot of reviews from people that have just bought the product for that particular reason.

 

So just to clarify I don't rate the product as a primer, but find that it's really good as a illuminator :)

You can purchase this from your local Superdrug or Boots drugstore and if you don't have one then check out their websites online.

Retailed at £9.99

 

Have you tried this product yet?

Henna Treatment Wax | Hair Product

 

Natural Classic - Henna Treatment Wax

 

When I sit and think of all the things my hair has been through, I feel quite bad!

It's been though so much... drying, dying, curling, straightening, back combing, treatments, different weather conditions & I don't have it cut as often as I should.

It's about time that I started looking after my hair, the poor thing!

When I were researching last week for good hair treatments. Henna Wax was one of the most popular with quite a lot of positive reviews. So I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Natural Classic Henna Treatment Wax revitalises all types of hair particularly hair which has been damaged by bleaching (sob, sob) perming or tinting (had my fair share of that too).

 

How I apply mine:

1. I wash my hair thoroughly with shampoo

2. With my hands/fingers I massage the treatment through my hair mainly on the tips, but it does say to apply on the scalp too. I don't really follow that part *tut tut*

3. I cover my hair with tinfoil. It isn't attractive in anyway and kind of looks like a tin swimming cap, but it does the job! As the treatment works best when hair is warm :)

4. Depending on your hair it's up to you how long you leave it on for. On the tub it states between 15-30 minutes. I leave mine on for an hour.

5. Rinse out the treatment and apply some of your daily conditioner to make it smell and feel super soft.

 

Now I do this once or twice a week if I get chance and it really does work wonders.

When I don't get chance to sit about with my tin foil swimming cap on I just apply my Moroccan Oil after I've towel dried my hair, it smells delicious that stuff.

 

I only paid 99p for this in BodyCare and you get 20% free!!!

Would I repurchase? Of course!

Have you tried a henna treatment before?
