Neutrogena Soothing Clear Turmeric Mist Review

I had been looking for a mist/spray for a while that wasn't too expensive just to refresh my face throughout the day or after the gym which could help with any breakouts. So you can imagine I was pleased to see when Neutrogena brought out the Clear and Soothe range which included a facial mist! The reason I was drawn to this range is due to it including tumeric.

Tumeric has of late become very popular and not just in the kitchen but also in the beauty world. It's rich in antioxidants, great as an anti-inflammatory.

The Ordinary hyaluronic acid review

Do you now how long I have wanted to try something from The Ordinary? Well for the absolute longest! Their packaging just looks so simple and clean and like no fuss. They have so many products I wasn't sure where exactly to begin.

So every so often I would browse the internet and just generally look to see what kind of products are out there and what to use. I also went to a couple talks about skincare by Dermalogica and Kiehls and it made me think more about my skincare regime and need to step it up a bit.

As a introduction I decided I would try the hyaluronic acid, now this does come in different form, you can either take supplements, apply direct onto the skin or I did read injectable? Not sure if I would want to do that. Our bodies naturally have this but over time basically as we get older (lol) it decreases. There is several benefits to using this which include:

• Improves dry skin by keeping it moisturised 
• Keeping your joints lubricated
• Plumps your skin leaving it looking fresh

Primark face wipes

Happy new year everyone I know I'm a little late but unfortunately I have been a bit under the weather lately.

I thought I would start this year with a review on the Primark wipes. I never knew they had so many and since I started this post I have found other ones too!

So here is my thoughts on them

Pollution protect
Ah these were my first ones I purchased, I always have a pack of these laying about somewhere. They actually do get rid of all the make up and your skin feels clean. Will always be a fav of mine!

Empties of 2019 part 7

Slowly I am getting through my stash of products and using things I have received either in GlossyBoxes or samples somewhere!

Garnier Ultimate Blends coconut hair oil £9.99
My hair felt absolutely amazing using this. It's also a lightweight formula so your hair doesn't feel weighed down or look greasy

Would I buy full size?
Yes, of course

Empties of 2019 part 6

Here is another one of the empties posts, as you may already know these are products I've recently finished and here are my thoughts....

Naobay Protective hair mask volume and conditioner
I received this in a GlossyBox and as it says it's a volume hair mask and conditioner. I had quite a few uses out of it and my hair did feel lovely after using it.

Would I buy again?
No and mainly because I have no idea where to purchase it and I feel there is other volume conditioning masks you can get more locally.

Colgate max white toothpaste
Recently I've been getting into the whole charcoal/whitening toothpastes and I feel this is definitely a good like budget one. It doesn't have a funny taste as I have noticed some charcoal ones have and I did notice my teeth looked a bit more white.

Would I buy again?
Yes, a lot of places have this for £4 but have a look around you can pick it up cheaper.

Goals for October

I'm going to be doing these posts every few months, I find it a bit exciting to have a goal and something to work towards. The reason I'm not doing it every month as I believe sometimes you may not achieve that goal straight away and you're still working on it.

So for October I have a few things I want to concentrate on.....

Beauty favs of July/August

The past couple months I have really been getting into the habit of trying new products or a different way of doing my regime a little and I've discovered a few new products that I wanted to share with you guys. I'll be honest these are not all brand new on the shelves but they are new to me and I think it's sometimes good to try things that have been out for a little bit. I find if you keep using the same things over and over again your skin gets immune to it and it don't seem to work as good as it used to so to switch it up every now and again is good.

PS clear and cool refining toner £2
For £2 I had to give this a try! With it's tea tree and witch hazel it's designed to purify skin and refines pour. I use it every night before I bed and I don't find my pours are as big and it just makes my skin feel more cleaner but not too clean where I feel stripped of my natural oils.

Empties of 2019 part 5

A new month and a new set and of empty products to review, these are not the usual kind of products I tend to use, minus the dry shampoo but it's always good to try something new!
--

Batiste dry shampoo in tropical
You all know I love a dry shampoo, they come in so handy if I haven't had a chance to wash my hair or I just want to add a little texture. This one smells so gorgeous just like summer!

Will I buy again?
Of course!

How to boost tired and dull skin

Do you ever get that feeling when you look in the mirror sometimes and your skin just looks dull and tired and you just feel urgh? Well lately that's exactly how I've been, the past couple months have been a lot crazy for me some of you know but all will be revealed shortly in a post and on my YouTube channel.

I thought I would share with you all what I have been doing to give my face/skin a little boost and some me time, just to let you know if you don't know already I have combination skin so some of these products may not be best suited but I will try and link the equivalent. You may think this is quite simple but finding the products that suit your skin can be quite difficult to begin with. This is what I tend to do once a week or some products once every few weeks.

Empties part 3

Another empties post ! Very slowly I am getting through the stash of beauty products I have and I am making sure that I finish them unless I didn't like or get on with them. So here is March's empty products.

Rodial dragon blood eye mask
The name of this had me curious like dragons blood hmm? I've never tried a eye mask before and this hydrates, tones and reduces puffiness. The application was very fiddly to be honest and I nearly gave up the actual bit you put under your eyes has a protective layer each side, I don't know why tho? Once applied it was fine and I left it on for about 30 minutes and just massaged the left over serum under my eyes. After my eyes actually felt refreshed and a little brighter.


Would I buy again?
Yes, we all need a little brighten and refresh now and again.


PS Beauty Pollution protect wipes
OMG these wipes are just like the best, I recently reviewed them (click here to read) so I won't go into too much detail about them but for a wipe they really did remove all my make up and make my skin feel clean. I cannot get over that they are from Primark too!


Would I buy again?
Yes over and over and over again!

Nivea urban skin defence day cream review

Nivea recently brought out a new face cream (not sure entirely when) the Urban Skin Moisture Boost Day Cream. So this is a 48 hour moisture boost with anti-oxidant, bio green tea extract and hyaluronic acid day cream and it's designed to protect your skin from pollution and the sun as it's got added SPF (20). I'll be honest I've never actually used a face cream with SPF in and I don't add one as I just don't have time in the mornings and adding so many layers to my skin it starts to feel a bit clogged. I was definitely intrigued to try this, as my day cream was coming slowly to an end and as the weather is changing I wanted to try something a little different. I'm not sure if this is just me but I find when I use some skincare products for a while the effectiveness of it is not the same so I find it good to change now and again.

Empties of 2019 Part 2

It's that time again to see what I've recently finished and my thoughts. In this month there has been some great products used and definitely thinking of purchasing in the future again.

Dove deodorant in floral touch
I absolutely love dove deodorant, it's one of them ones that you smell like hours after you've sprayed it. Usually I just get the original but I thought I would give this one a try and it's a light floral scent it's not like over powering make you want to sneeze kind of scent and won't clash with any perfumes.

Would I buy again?
Yes :)

The Body Shop hand and nail cream in almond
Honestly these hand creams last so long and it's surprising that a little bit goes a long way. This is such a moisturising cream but doesn't make your hands feel greasy or dry after 10 minutes and it doubles up as a nail cream too I noticed when I used this often my nails would look and feel better.

Would I buy again?
Yes, recently bought mini one hoping it will help get my nails back looking better again!

Fav items of 2018

If you haven't already seen my most recent YouTube video, have a look and see my thoughts on my fav products I used throughout 2018.

All the links for the products are below:

Empties 2019 part 1

I feel like in this post there is a lot of products I've actually loved and was sad to see that I had finished them but what a great way to start the new year on a positive note.

Jahaitian black castor oil leave in conditioner £5.99
Sometimes when I use a lot of heat on my hair it can sometimes feel dry so I try and put some kind of leave in conditioner. When I use this it makes my hair feel so soft and I always concentrate on my ends as they are the most damaged especially where I colour my hair too.

Would I buy again?
Yes, a little goes a long way
