Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Flash Perfection Exfoliating Treatment This is perfect for oily skin and suffer from blackheads and whiteheads.  Ingredients such as Macadamia and Bamboo will remove the dead skin cells from the surface and fruit acids will clear pores of oily debris.  Leaving skin smooth and soft. Arrow Enhance Waterproof Eyeliner & Brightener I lik

BeautyPie JapanFusion Pure Transforming Cleanser

Packaging and tube of BeautyPie Transforming Cleanser This is a lovely balm cleanser that turns into an oily texture when massaged on to the skin and a milky lotion when water is added.  I have used this cleanser as a first cleanse when wearing make-up. It easily removes Benefit They’re Real Tinted Primer and Roller Lash Mascara along with Push Up Liner with minimal effect.  It removed all traces of my IT Cosmetics CC+ 50+ without leaving any residue of the foundation or the cleanser.  My skin felt and looked cleaning without being dry or needing to apply moisturiser straightaway.  I have also used it as a morning cleanse using a muslin cloth to remove the cleanser which again didn’t leave a residue on my skin.  I didn’t have any irritations, my skin felt soft and hydrated. I will be honest I wasn’t sure of the concept behind BeautyPie, using this product has made me realise that I don’t have to pay silly high prices to use quality products. I can’t wait to try other products that

The Carbon Theory

The Carbon Theory Soap This is currently being used by my hubby as he has oily skin which is prone to breakouts.  This soap with the combination of using various brands of Glycolic Acid and Micellar Cleansing water my husband has found that there is a reduction in breakouts and they don’t last as long as they had previously along with not being as painful as they have been.  He uses the soap wen he is in the shower or having a shave.  His skin is not as oily as it has been and is not dry as some spot treatment soaps have left his skin.  He is so impressed with this product that he will be purchasing another one before his has finished his first bar.

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.

The Ordinary Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil

Packaging and Bottle of The Ordinary Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil I use this product at least twice a week when I am not using Glycolic Acid or a Retinol.  The smell at first put me off.  I have noticed that my rosy red cheeks are not as red as they have been.  My skin doesn’t seem to be misbehaving at the time of the month which I get the occasional spot.  This absorbs into the skin easily and has enough slip to allow you to spend time massaging it in if you use facial massage to tone your skin like I do.  The texture of my skin has also improved I don’t get the sore bumps on my chin.  I believe everyone should have a form of Rose Hip Oil in the skincare arsenal and I have tried the Dr Botanical’s one too.  People are commenting on how my skin looks, the health of my skin has improved.
