My Current Morning Skincare Routine

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How was your weekend ???

Today I am sharing my current skincare routine with you . Some of these products only recently came into my life - some are firm favourites but I'm sharing what I use today and why I love these products.

For reference my skin is usually normal / combo in summer , but in winter my skin is a mess. I suffer from extremely dry dehydrated skin that gets dry patches super easily especially since it's cold and flu season and I have been sick quite a lot in the last few weeks.



Justine Oil Control Face Wash 
I already did a full review on the whole Justine Oil Control range HERE - but this face wash has stayed a firm favourite in my routine. I'm already on my second bottle and have a back up ready. As I mentioned yes my skin is currently a lot drier and dehydrated - but this face wash doesn't irritate my skin and keeps any blemishes at bay yet gives me an effective deep cleanse morning and evening. 
Sorbet Hydro Skin Silicone Face Cleanser
I did a full review on this nifty little gadget from Sorbet HERE - and I do use this morning and evening with my Justine Oil Control Face wash. It's also a little mini face mask when I wake up - which always helps. 

Nivea 1minute Urban Detox Moisture Mask  
This is a new step into my routine which I really really love . The new Nivea masks work in just 1 minute (who doesn't love a product that works almost instantly ) to intensively moisturise your skin with Green Tea & Hylarunic Acid - it's a quick easy step that I feel makes a difference. My skin feels more hydrated and it gives me an extra boost especially with me being so sick lately. I haven't been using it that long so I will do a full review on both the masks in the range really soon. 
Human & Kind Face Cloth
These are the best softest face cloths you will ever need. Once I put on the Nivea mask and waited the one minute - I gently remove the rest with this face cloth. These come in a two pack and honestly it's the best . They are also machine washable and last forever. 

Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray 
This has featured in numerous favourites posts since last March when I discovered this product - and it's been a firm favourite since. I did I full review if you are interested to read more about it HERE. This is a holy grail product in my beauty routine that I won't replacing with anything else. Though I used the small container for the photo ( This is the one I have in my travel bag) - In reality I have the big daddy can in my bathroom that I use morning and nigh time and during the day . This brings some added moisture to my skin as well as well as calmness to red cheeks . I sometimes even use this as a setting spray if my skin is extremely dry .

AA  Cosmetics Skin Boost Serum with 8% Vit C & Acerola Extract
Gael from Glamore Cosmetics was kind enough to send me the Vitamin C range to try out from AA Cosmetics range to try out. (The day cream is fantastic too - I use it too and mine is almost completely finished). I love this serum. I can honestly say I have noticed how much less tired and dull my skin started looking - I love that this will help with pigmentation too. While it's a pricier serum this is one I will be repurchasing soon . My skin perks up and I can notice the difference on days I don't use the serum. This is a little magical sprinkle of Vitamin C in a bottle. 
Eucerin Anti Redness Concealing Day Cream
This is only a recent add on - with me being so extremely busy at work I was lacking on taking proper care of myself (I'm sure everyone putting on heaters didn't help either )that resulted in my skin becoming extremely dry and dehydrated . I decided to try some Eucerin products (I use one of the range creams at night now too ) to treat some issues I were having. With my dehydration I started getting extremely red dry skin around midday that became extremely tight . This moisturiser has a slight green tint to help combat redness - and I fell in love instantly. I love that this has a sunscreen in - without leaving me oily or greasy during the day. While the green tint might look a little scary at first - it doesn't leave a green layer on your skin - so you won't be walking around looking like the Hulk all day. I didn't have extreme redness but I feel this did help me a lot to get my skin back where it needed to be. 


AA Caring Lip Oil in Wild Berry
This is another recent discovery that I can't live without from Glamore Cosmetics. Gael was always raving on Instagram about how amazing this lip oil is - and while I love the Hean Lip Elixir I knew I had to try this gem out too. This lip oil contains avocado , argan , achiote and sweet almond oil to hydrate and smooth dry chapped lips. I use this as I am doing my skincare routine in the morning - and since it leaves a little bit of a lip stain on too - most mornings I don't even bother using a lipstick or gloss. The colour is gorgeous too and I love how this is a stunning colour and a gorgeous hydrating lip treatment all in one. Again - I can't rave enough about the amazing lip products Glamore cosmetics stocks. I mention it a million times but I have so many skin sensitivity issues food wise that always irritate my lips and I love how I know the products they sell will never disappoint me. 

Not pictured - but included in my routine is the two times I press snooze and the cup of coffee I need to bribe myself with to get out of bed in the morning .

Have you tried any of these products before ?? Are you a morning person or a night owl ?

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
