Pink & Purple Dots

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...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been ?  Today I will be sharing the rundown of May's Sample Sunday series.  If  you don't know already - I started a series on my social media channels last year where I share my thoughts on a sample I have in my collection every Sunday.  It's always fun for me to "test" a product and give my first impressions on it. So without too much chit chat let's jump into the products -  Today's  #samplesunday  is the Avon Shine Burst Gloss Stick in Rose. This is a gorgeous cool dusty pink. Formula one wise these are super buttery with a nice almost lipgloss like finish. The lipstick is also very moisturising- it really feels like a gloss but with a lot more pigmentation. It will last a few hours, but won't survive eating. These are pretty affordable with a nice colour range, so can definitely recommend them. Today's SampleSunday is the Benefit Specialist Instant Comeback Serum.  This lightweigh...

Hi guys ! Happy Friday ! Hope you all had a great week. My week was super busy, but eventful . As I mentioned on Wednesday post, my skin goes crazy in winter. It goes scaly and flaky so quickly ... And I REALLY hate it. So in winter time I try as much as I can to boost my skin with hydrating serums and masks. As always, Clicks has amazing specials from time to time , their 3 - 2 specials, and when I picked up some Sorbet skincare goodies, I decided to get some sachet masks from Sorbet. I usually get these masks when I travel or go on holiday (or when my skin needs a boost from time to time ) , as it contains a serum to apply first, and then a sheet mask (which looks scary the first ) and comes in this easy to use pouch . This time I got 3 different masks ( I usually just get the hydrating one , so keep an eye out for a review on the other two later the month ) As mentioned, this mask has a 2 step system. The top part has a serum, which you open and massage into your skin for abou...

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday .  So I'm one of those unlucky people that suffer from drier skin in the winter ,and the cold weather and the combo of heaters at work doesn't help it along. My skin gets scaly blotchy and flaky (and I'm usually combination / oily skin in the summer ) and it gets super tight , to the point that it gets painful to even smile.  Along came this miracle in a bottle  - The Juliette Armand Multi B Vitamin Serum . This serum is SUPER hydrating, yet it doesn't have that greasy formula some hydrating products seem to have. The formula is super thin almost water like, absorbs quickly and a little really goes a long way . Within a few days my skin was back to normal. I use this serum twice a day before my moisturiser, and I can't rave enough about what an amazing serum this is, it bought back the nourishment my skin desperately needed.  This works... And that's from someone who buys every single hydrating product in winter. I won't b...
