I've never been very into skincare, not sure why... I've just always chose to spend my money on make up and get the cheaper skin care items. Whilst I'm aware the majority of these items aren't expensive, it's more than I would have other wise spent.
I'd heard such good things about the 'Vichy' Aqualia Thermal Serum and finally took the plunge. As it's pretty expensive at £17.50 which is so much more then I would have spent, I spent around half an hour staring at it in Boots and wondering if I should get it or not. But I've had such bad skin recently, I figured spending a little more wouldn't be such a bad thing.
The smell doesn't stand out as anything wonderful, but it's easy to cope with. After using it once I felt the difference, my skin was honestly SO soft! It's well worth the money and I'm glad I took the plunge and bought it. I've not been using it as often as I should but even from using it every now and again it's working wonders! I think I'm a little lazy with skincare and really need to get into a good routine.

On a bit of a skincare hype, I popped into superdrug to get a new moisturiser. I was going to get another by Vichy but was worried I wouldn't like it and didn't want to spend another £18. Luckily, superdrug were doing BOYOF on the 'clearly youthful' range. I've used their face mask and really enjoyed it so figured I should stick with a brand I knew. Both of these are usually £6.99 but they do go on offer a fair bit, so make sure to look out for that!
I got the moisturiser as the one I used previously wasn't that good and I didn't feel as though it did enough for me. I use it daily, occasionally twice daily if I remember too, as I said before, I'm pretty bad with skin care. I like the way it makes my skin feel though and along with the other products I've been using, it's really helping my skin!
I then got the resurfacing night serum, which is supposed to generally even out the skin, reducing the look of blemishes and what not. I'm going to be honest here, I've used it once so I can't really say if it's good or not. It smells pretty good though.
I'm really happy with all three of these products though and the dry patches on my skin (attractive, I know) have gone! So I can't really complain!
Let me know if you've tried any of these, and leave your recommendations!
Much love xo
I saw these new brushes in Superdrug and fell in love. I'd been eyeing them up for a while and when they were released I couldn't get them quick enough!
I only got 3 as I figured I probably shouldn't buy many more brushes as my collection is getting a little out of hand.
They're on offer at the moment with about £2 off so if you're thinking of getting some, I'd get some now! They range in price and are usually about £10, with the eye shadow and smaller brushes being about £6 (don't quote me).
I also ended up getting the Brush Cleanser because I didn't actually have one and only ever washed my brushes using baby shampoo, which is way too much effort! The brush cleaner is only £4.99 and is actually pretty good.
I thought it smelt a little like glue? But it seems like this is the standard smell for make up brush cleansers, as the No 7 one smells basically the same.
It's worked at getting some of my most dirty brushes back to the lovely looking white coloured bristles, So I am definitely a fan of it!
The bristles are very soft and I've washed them a few times and so far they have shown no signs of shedding.
The blush/contour brush is the one I now use for my blush as it's just perfect (I'm still in love with my real techniques blush brush, mind)
The powder brush is great at power but I also feel like it would be good for blusher as it's large, but not too large... Would be good for travelling so you don't have to take too many brushes with you!
The finishing brush is my least favourite. I use it after I've put my foundation on to buff it in more, but I feel like I would not be able to use it alone for foundation as it just doesn't seem to blend it in properly on it's own.
I do love it to blend my foundation in afterwards though, so it is kind of an 'extra' brush and wouldn't be an essential one.
If you were just to buy one brush, I would probably say go for one of the other two!
I'm always looking for new brushes, I have some sort of addiction with it and my collection is growing so please feel free to let me know of any amazing brushes I should try out!
