Wednesday Review

I am currently in New York which I absolutely love. I have been in London for the past few days and flew in yesterday. Unfortunately I get really bad jet lag so I am wide awake right now at 3am!

Before I left for London I was in a bit of a rush so packed rather quickly. I didn't have time to get all my beauty products together so I just grabbed this big set of stuff I had been given as a present. It's a clear, long bag by Sam Farmer with everything you need travelling (minus some things of course). I contains:

Shampoo

Conditioner

Face wash

Face Moisturiser

Deodorant 

Body wash

It is fantastic, so all I needed to bring was that, my make up, hair styling products and extra face stuff.

I particularly like the Face moisturiser. It doesn't leave an oily residue but is moisturising at the same time.

I will leave the link below.

Wednesday Review

Today's review is on the Ren Clear Calm 3 clay mask. Firstly I love the packaging, secondly it's just amazing. It's very drying though but my skin is so oily it doesn't matter. It smells very herbally (is that a word?) and it applies really nicely to damp skin. It clears my skin up quite well but I tend to use it only when my skin is really bad for about 3 days then my skin is clear again!

Exam stress

This is something a little different to what I usually write about but let me know what u think. Exams, quite a powerful word. Inevitably it is put with the word stress. I have end of year exams coming up, which I personally don't work very hard for because they don't affect my future in any way, and trying to meet deadlines of essays to be handed in, language speaking assessment pieces to be done can be very stressful.

Yesterday I was very stressed, I just sat at my desk staring at the pile of work I had to do. So I thought 'Just do it' and I did. A huge help is to write a 'To Do' list. This means you can get all of the things you have to do onto paper so u can cross them off as you complete them. Then I made a revision folder, this keeps all my notes in order so I don't loose any. I have art coursework to hand in before half term so I just sat at the computer and just started it rather than sitting and looking at it thinking 'I don't even know how to start this!'. 

Keeping organised is absolutely key when it comes to exams and revision. Always remember to take a break, see your friends, have fun and most importantly live your life. Don't let revision rule your life but be disciplined at the same time.

Wednesday Review

Today review is on the Rimmel London Wake me up concelor. I am in a bit of a rush so I will have to make this quick! I love this concelor, I have it in the shade 'Classic beige' and it perfectly matches my skin. It's pretty full coverage and, although I love the wake me up foundation, I love the fact that is doesn't have any shimmer in it. It brightens under your eyes and covers up blemishes really well. 

Rating: 9.5/10 (only because I don't really like the packaging but the product is incredible)

Skin care regime for Oily/Combination, acne prone skin

Woah that was a long title! I have a lot of requests for an updated skin care routine. (A USLESS FACT: I only found this out a few days ago, if u want to say a/an you use 'a' if the word starts with a consonant and you use 'an' with a word starting with a vowel.) Bit of grammar there. 

Anyway, I will put up my hands and admit I do change my skin card round a lot. I made a pact that after I have finished all my skin care stuff I have to use up, I will buy a complete set of stuff and stick with it if it works. 

Here's my current routine: 1. I wash my face with the Clinique liquid facial soap for Oily/Combination skin. 

2. I tone (I am quite liking this toner despite the fact it has such bad things for your skin in it) with Clinique's clarifying toner.

3. Then I moisturise with the Liz Earle skin repair light moisturiser for Oily/Combination skin. I use that moisturiser in the morning. 

4. Then I apply my Simple revitalising eye roll on.

5. For my acne I use a prescribed topical solution called Dalacin T (I think that's what it's called). 

At night I do the exact same thing except I use the La Roche posy effaclar duo instead of the Liz Earle moisturiser.

A bit random but anyway, I am doing the Race for Life tomorrow (May 12th). It's in aid of Breast cancer research and I'm running 5K. It would mean a lot if you could donate as little to as much as you wish. All sponsership money goes to the charity and I will leave the link down below.

Wednesday Review

Hey y'all, I have been mega busy this week with work and my spare time has been taken up by watching Made In Chelsea (for those who aren't in the UK it's a reality show about the exclusive area of London called Chlesea) and 90210. I CAN'T BELEIVE NEXT WEEK IS THE LAST EVER EPISODE. (Warning, for those who do not watch 90210 you might want to skip this next bit.) I really, REALLY want Liam and Annie to get together and that Silver will be ok. 

Anyway, today's review is on the Liz Earle Skin Repair light Moisturiser for Combination/Oily skin. I really do like this product, it smells really nice. It smells kind of natural fruity/herby and organic if you know what I meen! Although its for Combination/Oily skin, it is quite oily when you apply it to the skin and it doesn't melt it very quickly at all. I do like it but I won't be re-purchasing it anytime soon. I think, for my skin, there is probably a better one out there. I would really like to try the Murad range, if anyone has tried it, let me know.

The Wednesday Reveiw

B.Flawless Long-Lasting Concealer
This, I think, is exclusive to Superdrug only and it's my favourite concealer ever. I dropped my Rimmel Powder so I haven't been using powder for about 2 months and I haven't felt the need to use foundation. The weather where I live has been super hot and sunny, which it hardly ever is so I would expect on top of my oily skin for everything to melt off within a hour or so of applying my make up. But this put on its own without any powder for about 7hrs 30 mins! No blotting! It's really incredible. The colour range is good, I am light-medium. Can't recommend it highly enough for covering anything!

HYPER ALERT

I have been trying to get hold of Maybelline Baby lips lip balm for EVER and today I got it!!!!!!!!!!! In the UK we can't get it but my friend who lives in Singapore bought it for me and gave it to me today!!!! It's the softest lip balm ever. You may be thinking, how can lip balm be soft, but oh yes, it actually feels soft. It's the Cherry Velvet one as I was told it was the best flavour. You have no IDE he excited I am! It leaves your lips unbelievably smooth and soft. AHHHH I can't contain my excitement!!!!
