My current favourite skincare products!
Hello all!
Today I thought I would continue on with my posts on my current favourite products, and today it is my favourite skincare products!
Garnier Moisture Match (Wake Me Up) Gel:
Garnier brought out a few months ago their moisture match range of creams. They also gave you the chance to sample all of the available types for free if you requested a sample pack on their website - which I did!! I always have so much trouble when it comes to creams for my face as they usually break me out if they are too heavy or greasy/oily. But this one I got is a gel one, and it was the only one out of the samples I could get on with! It's called Wake Me Up, and it really does wake you up in the morning! I love the fact that this product is a gel formula and it doesn't linger on my skin. It absorbs really quickly into my skin and leaves me feeling fresh faced and wide awake! I love to use this once a week for a pick me up, when my skin is feeling dry and needing a freshen up!
Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion:
I love Vaseline products in general, but vaseline combined with cocoa...omg a dream lotion for me! I really like this lotion a lot. I brought it to try it out and it was only £2.99 so I wasn't expecting much. But I find this lotion really leaves my skin feeling hydrated and moisturised! It don't linger on top of the skin and the scent isn't too overpowering either. But a little of this product goes such a long way and I find it does an amazing job for my skin.I have really been liking to use this now that the colder weather is settling in and for £2.99 I really think it's fantastic.
Vichy Idealia Smoothing And Illuminating Cream:
Now I harp on about this product all the time, whether its here on my blog or even more so in my Youtube videos! But I really do like this cream a lot. I use it in the morning before I apply my makeup, and it leaves my skin looking super dewy and refreshed. It smells like raspberries as well which is a big bonus! I originally tried this in a Glossybox, and immediately feel in love with it. But being £22 it took me a while to bite the bullet and purchase the full size. But of course I did and I am so glad I did. Really worth every penny and it looks pretty smart too! You can usually sample this in most boots stores so defiantly worth checking out!
Elf Makeup Mist & Set Spray:
This setting spray was a trial buy for me. I hadn't heard many people rave about this, and I needed to get a setting spray anyway, so it seemed ideal to purchase this and give it a go! It has aloe, green tea, cucumber and vitamins A,C & E in it, which a good thing because no one wants to be spraying nasty chemicals on their face. The smell isn't that nice, but the overall staying power of the product is amazing. It doesn't mess your makeup up when you first spray it on, and it dries really quickly. I find that my makeup stays on twice as long as normal and I have been loving to use this daily for the past month!
Palmers Cocoa Butter Gradual Tanner:
Again this a product I like and rave about alot! I really love this so so much and I wear over my normal fake tans as it's that good! This is around £5 and is basically a gradual tanner and a moisturiser in one. I would say you 100% need to apply this with a tanning glove/mitt as it does make your hands go super orange, even if you do wash them after! I love this for a natural bronzed look. Being paled skinned sometimes proper fake tans can look OTT on me, but this gradual tan looks so natural and you get a good colouring after one application. It also moisturises the skin which is a bonus, and I have enjoyed wearing this when I was to look a little bit more tanned. It doesn't go on streaky and it smells nice too!

Vichy Idealia cream review
Hi everyone!
I've been slacking on the blogging recently - sorry!! I've been soooooo busy and just haven't found the time to sit down and blog. But today I thought I would make up for that and do a review of a beautiful cream that I recently purchased (which you can also see in my last blog post).
So, I'm talking about the Vichy Idealia Smoothing and Illuminating cream. £22 from Boots.
I first tried this out in a sample size from a Glossybox, and I immediately fell in love with it. Because of the price of the product (quite pricey for a pot of cream!) I had never had the guts to splurge out on it. I do have a lot of trouble finding decent creams for my skin as most are too oily and heavy, but this one was so light and refreshing. So when I ran low on the cream I was using before, I thought, stuff it, I'll buy it! So I did!
There are so many good pointers about this product. The smell is just amazing - it smells like raspberries! And the texture of the cream is so light and refreshing, it really does wake you up when you apply it in the morning, and it doesn't leave a greasy/oily feeling on your skin afterwards. Plus because it's an illuminating cream it gives your skin a really dewy shine. You only need to use a tiny bit of this product as it does go a long way and for that reason this pot will last quite a while!
Overall I really recommend this cream. It is pricey but the lasting life and positives of the product make up for it.
