Elemis Total Glow Bronzing Moisturiser | Face

It's finally started to warm up here in the UK so what better time to get your glow on. I've always been into gradual tans because they look so natural, are easy to apply and require minimal upkeep. I also like something that incorporates skincare as I feel that is one less step to worry about. For someone who has oily, blemish prone skin like me finding a tan for my face that won't break me out is pretty much a miracle. Elemis is a well known, trusted British brand that uses active plant extracts. No artificial colours, parabens, silicones or mineral oils. The second I read up on this I purchased it! here What I love about this is that not only does it build up a gradual tan, it improves skin tone and luminosity. Packed with skin loving ingredients like anti-oxidant rich green tea, ginger water and evodia fruit this leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with a beautiful golden glow that creates the perfect base for makeup. What more could a girl want? 

I used this today with minimal makeup and so far I am rather impressed. No greasy film, no fake tan smell. I feel like I'm just putting on my moisturiser. Throughout the day I noticed a welcoming glow peeking through and someone even complimented me on how good my skin looked.

The Perfect Dupe || Diorskin Nude BB Creme

Top- Garnier BB cream | bottom Diorskin Nude BB 

Hello lovelies, so I think I have found the perfect dupe for Diorskin Nude BB Creme! The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for oily/combination skin. The moment I tried it it reminded me so much of the Diorskin, the finish is near on the same. They both provide excellent coverage and dry to an almost powdery finish. The textures are different though, the Garnier is really runny and a tad hard to control, the Diorskin is much thicker and smoother in texture. I always set with a powder and find that they both last the same amount of time (8hrs) before wearing off. So if you have oily/acne prone skin and are looking for something light weight but doesn't compromise on coverage, then I think the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector is the one for you! At around £7.99 you can't go wrong.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Review

Hello lovelies and Happy New Year!! Kicking off the New Year I'm all about getting my skin in the best possible condition. It couldn't be easier since using this little miracle in a brown bottle. Yes you've all heard the rave on this and its true its absolutely amazing! Results are literally over night, I'm not exaggerating. Advanced Night Repair was first introduced in 1982 and has been a number one seller ever since! It has recently been reformulated with the synchronised recovery complex II giving it even more power for the modern day face. It is an anti-age night serum which repairs damaged skin and dramatically reduces the signs of ageing while you sleep. It is a fact that while we sleep our bodies ability to regenerate is much faster that during the day as we are fighting pollution, sun and daily ageing elements. It also protects you skin in the long term against future damage from UVA and UVB light, smoke and pollution.
A serum is used before a moisturiser and is absorbed by the skin on a much deeper epidermal level resulting in maximum and continuous skin repair. The texture is light and silky and melts into skin. ANR contains vital levels of Hyaluronic Acid which help the skin retain moisture instantly and overtime.
So if you are unhappy with your skin or its looking a bit lacklustre give this a try, you won't regret it. Its perfect for all skin types and best of all doesn't cause breakouts!

Get Your Glow On

Hello lovelies, so I posted this selfie the other day on Instagram and got quite a few comments on how good my skin looked, so I thought I would share with you what I used. My skin is by no means perfect so that was a major compliment. I have been absolutely obsessed with my new Rachel K CC renew cream in light, (review here ) it is just the perfect accompaniment to mineral powder. There is something about Bareminerals, matte in particular that photographs beautifully. It never looks shiny in photos or overly made up. Used in conjunction with the CC cream you get the right amount of hold and coverage that will last all day without the need for touch ups. It's glowy, soft focus, natural looking makeup that is so quick and easy to apply. I feel more myself with less makeup up on.

GlamGlow Youth Mud

Hello lovelies! So last weekend I was celebrating my Birthday! I was a very lucky girl and got lots of lovely presents. GlamGlow was one of them! I have heard alot about this on youtube and ofcourse was desperate to try it.
So what is GlamGlow? Well it was designed as a facial in a jar for celebrities who are pressed for time or just want that extra glow before they step out onto the red carpet. It was created in the glamorous South of France ooh la la.
It only takes ten minutes to get your glowing results that will last for up to three days!  wowzers!
The packaging is definitely glam indeed! Its your own little jar of Hollywood!
Ok lets get down to the nitty gritty!

What GlamGlow does:

Skin Collagen Synthesis for a noticeable 3 day glow.

Brighter, radiant skin in minutes.

Leaves skin noticeably soft and smooth.

Multi-level resurfacing exfoliation.

Penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin to soften fine lines and wrinkles.

Tightens, tones and lifts the skin.

Relives dark circles and minimises pores.

Absorbs impurities without removing natural oils.

Helps protect against everyday environmental aggressors.

Suitable for all skin types, all ages and for both women and men.

Contains no artificial colours or fragrances.

99% paraben-free, cruelty-free, and suitable for vegans.

Doesn't it sound incredible? Apply an even layer onto clean skin and leave for ten minutes to tighten and tingle or until the mask completely dries. Then rinse off with water using circular motions to deepen the level of exfoliation.

 

Result: I feel super glowy ahhhh. This totally smoothed out my huge pores, left my skin feeling plumped and revitalised. This could be the only mask you will ever need as it does so much in one go! Love it!!
