ALERT: BAD PRODUCT REVEIW

The other day I started another bottle of face wash (out of my 7 to get through) and luckily, there was only about 4 days worth left. It was the Neutrogena Spot Stress control daily scrub. THIS DESTROYED MY SKIN. It left it red, dry, irritated, my spots got worse after each use and after 3 days I just threw it out along with 5 other face washes because I realised that skin care has a use by date and mine were 2-3 years old!
Currently I am using the Clinique liquid facial soap. I always go back to this when my skin is really bad as it always clears it up. I know lots of people say 'stay away from Clinique, it's too strong' but it really works for me, I don't use it all the time though, I just use it for about 2 weeks at a time when my skin is really bad and at the end of that time period, my skin is 95% healed and cleared of spots.

The Wednesday Reveiw

For the past 2 months, I have bee using the Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash and Mask.
Firstly, I did not like the consistency, it was too much like a mud mask and washing it off required a lot of pressure from an exfoliation sponge which then made my skin red and irritated. The smell however was actually really nice and when left on as a mask, I did like it. But as an everyday wash it didn't work for me. Most importantly is did the product actually improve my skin? The answer to that is that it cleared my skin and made it look less congested and the amount of oily shine was reduced but it didn't clear my acne which is what is was supposed to do. I gave it a fair trial and used it all up but I won't be repurchasing it.
Rating: 5/10

Made a vow

I have vowed that I will not buy any more skin care products until I have used up everything that I have, which will probably be about 6 months worth of products! I have all sorts from Clinique, L'oreal to Ren and Ponds cold cream.
For the past month or so I have been finishing the Neutrogena mask and wash 2 in 1. I have to say that I won't be repurchasing it but it was good. With skin though, if I doesn't make a huge difference it's not worth it.
Remember to read the Wednesday Review.

The Wednesday Reveiw

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
In the UK this is basically an all over face light serum/moisturiser. I use it as a moisturiser and it is targeted at people with oily/acne prone skin. I like the fact that it doesn't leave an oily residue on the surface of the skin and is absorbed quite quickly. I have been using it since just before Christmas 2012 and it has made a difference to my skin so I think I will be re-purchasing it.

Mini mini mini haul

I haven't done a post in a while and I went shopping and got 2 things which I think we're worth writing a tinie weenie post on. Firstly I got the Barry M nail gelly in 'Lychee'. It's a beautiful colour, it's the perfect dupe for Chanels nail colour 'Frenzie'. I will put a picture at the bottom.
The other naughty purchase I made was Lanolips Lemonade Lip Aid. Holy cow it is incredible. It is made with 70% Lanolin and organic lemon oil. My lips are the softest ever today after applying it yesterday. Next time I think I will buy the original Lanolips only because the lemon one has a shimmer to it, and you know I don't like lip gloss type things. On the other hand, it tastes incredible, like the lemon custard part to a Lemon Meringue pie.
That's all for the moment, but I am going to start doing single products reviews every Wednesday night so keep a look out for those.
XOXO
