I have been so busy recently, since I went back to school it has been very hard work. But I have not forgotten about my blog! One of my close friends set up a blog a few weeks ago and if you like mine I think you will like her's: http://TeenageBeauty202.blogspot.co.uk.
So, as the title should suggest, I am going to talk you through everything I am using at the moment because if I talked you through everything I have used since December then this blogpost would be too long! So here goes. For my face I am using the Simple Kind to skin eye makeup remover cream. It was one of my friends who introduced me to it and I love it. It sayes to apply it with a cotton pad but I just squeeze a bit onto my fingers and GENTLY massage my eye makeup away. Then splash your eyes with water and voila, no eye make left!
Next I use the Ren Mayblossom t-zone control (I think it's called that) cleanser for combination oily skin. I bought this because I needed a new one and I had watched dizzybrunette (or corrie) on YouTube talk about it and my skin I think is very similar to hers so I thought I would give it a try. So far I am very pleased with the results. My skin is defiantly less oily without being dry. But recently I have found that around my temples and by my ears my skin has become really dry. You know when you rub in foundation or concealer and you can see bits of flaky skin, well it got like that. I don't think it was the cleanser, I think it was because I had the idea that if you have oily skin you should use less moisturiser but that's no the case.
Once or twice a week, after my cleanser, I use the Ren clearclam3 clarifying clay mask. This is incredible. My spots are considerably smaller the next morning and my skin is looking a lot less congested. The only criticism is that it makes your skin very very dry afterwards so you mustn't use it more than twice a week and you must moisturise afterwards. Also I have been using the Ren pore detox mask (I might have that name wrong) I was given a quite large sample bottle of it when I bought the other Ren products and I am really liking it. It minimises my pores and my skin feels very clean. I don't think I will buy the full one thought because they are 1.very expensive and 2. My skin is more in need of blemish fighting ingredients than pore minimising ingredients.
After cleansing in the morning I use the Ren t-zone oil control day fluid (seeing a bit of a Ren theme here). It is only a small sample but I really love it. It leaves my skin really soft but not oily. I have so many moisturisers at the moment so when I have finished all of them I might buy the full size.
Then I apply my Reme Laure pimple corrector gel. I don't think you can get this in the UK but my godmother sends it over to me from Canada where she buys it from the lady that does her facials. It is incredible at clearing my spots when they first come up. But where I have a spot that just won't go away or I have some discolouration I use Sudocreme. Sudocreme is something you probably won't associate with acne, more with nappy rash, but if you read the small print on it, you will see that it says can be used on acne. This is a life saver. And the brilliant thing is that it costs around £3-4!!
The only thing I change in the evening is my moisturiser. I use the La Roche posay effaclar duo. This looks more like a serum but I use it as a moisturiser. Be carefull though because the UK formulation is different to the USA one. In the US you use it as a spot on corrector but in the UK you can use it as a all over moisturiser/serum.
In terms of hair, I have been using and loving VO5 give my moisture shampoo and the Bumble and Bumble seaweed conditioner. These two as a pair work wonders on my hair. They leave it very soft and manageable.
This morning I was on the vogue website and I watched Cara Delevinge (if you don't know who she is, she is a British model who is so beautiful and has the most crazy personality) talking about her beauty must haves. I have already been on Cult Beauty and started putting things on my wish list, as few were Touché Éclat, Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, anastasia brow gel and burberry fresh glow. Ahhhhh I want all of them!
Time to go and start my English essay....yay.
XOXO
