Olay Total Effects Day Moisturiser

Review: Olay Total Effects Day Moisturiser SPF 15

Currently half price at £7.29 LINK

When ever I see and use Olay it always reminds me of when I was little and used to sneak into my mums room and use her pretty pink bottle of oil of Olay moisturiser, I still remember the amazing smell of the lotion from the pink bottle.

I have been using this 7 in one Olay day cream for a few weeks now and I have noticed how much brighter my skin is since I have been using this. This moisturiser claims to fight 7 signs of ageing, which include; smoothing, evens tone, brightens, refines pores, reduces age spots, restores firmness and moisturises.

When I apply this moisturiser it makes my skin feel smooth and visibly looks brighter. There is something in the moisturiser which instantly blurs out imperfections and makes the look and even tone all over. Its great for days when you don't want to wear make up and just want an easy no make up look.

My skin also feel firm and I have found that it has slightly lightened any pigmentation I have left from spots on my cheeks and chin. I think this moisturiser would be great for anyone from their late 20's or early 30's, anyone who is concerned about preventing early signs of ageing.

I love the packaging of the moisturiser and the pump is really good as it lets you pump out as much as you need and doesn't pump out too much so that product is wasted. The price is also great for a moisturiser from the high street and great for anyone who doesn't want to spend too much on their moisturiser.

Morning Skincare Routine

brightening

Morning Skincare Routine

I had a baby a month ago so my hormones are going a bit crazy, but sticking to this skincare routine has made sure that my skin has stayed clear with no break outs yet. I have normal skin, with some oiliness down the t zone at times. I do sometimes get breakouts when I am due for time of the month and get left with marks sometimes. I follow this skincare routine, with regular face masks (3 times a week) and a good evening routine, which I will do a blog post about soon.

Cleanse- Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser
Because I cleanse my skin so throughly at night, I try to use a mild cleanser in the morning as my skin is free of make up and dirt already. I was sent this Neutrogena cleanser to try out and I have been using it for a good 5-6 weeks. I have enjoyed using this cleanser, it is a gel cleanser and foams up, even though it foams up it is not drying at all, if anything its hydrating and leaves my skin feeling very clean and comfortable.

Tone- Wei Rapid Glow Liquid Milk
After cleaning I take a few drops of the Wei Rapid Glow Liquid milk into the palm of my hands and press it into my skin. This is really hydrating and helps to brighten the skin as well as making your skin feel really soft. I like using this as I don't have to use a cotton pad to apply it, it can just be pressed into the skin using my hands and is quick and easy.

Eyes- Dr Dennis Gross Ferulic and Retinol Eye Cream
While the toner sinks in, I apply my eye cream. This eye cream is great for hydrating and making you look like you have had a good nights sleep. After having a baby, I haven't had one full night sleep, however this eye cream really helps make it look like I have. It brightens the under eye area and helps with dark circles. Leaves the under eye area line free and smooth, which is great for when applying concealer to the area.

Dr Dennis Gross Ferulic and Retinol Eye Serum
I have hooded eye lids so like to use some sort of eye product on and around my lids, a cream is too heavy for this area so I use a serum. This serum is so light and can be applied to that area, you don't even feel like anythings there once it has sank in. I use this to prevent my hooded eye lids getting worse and to help keep the skin firm for as long as possible.

Serum- Ren Instant Firming Beauty Shot
I then go in with my serum after applying the eye creams. I was using Sunday Riley Good genes, but found it was drying my skin out after having the baby, so I thought I would give this ago as I had a large sample size. I found that this really plumps up the skin and makes it feel really smooth. Again this helps with the lack of sleep situation as it leaves the skin looking plump and bright.

Moisturiser- Radical Anti-Aging Restorative Moisturiser
This moisturiser is amazing and probably one of my favourites by far. It really helps to even out skin tone and brighten the skin. It has helped to fade and get ride of pigmentation that I had on my skin. It is expensive but I have found that it goes a long way as you only need a small amount for the whole face and neck. It is also very hydrating but doesn't feel heavy at all on the skin and leaves the skin feeling firm and plump.

Lips- Eve Lom Kiss Mix
I finish my skincare routine off with a bit of lip balm. I like this lip balm, but would like to try something new so if you have any recommendations please comment below and let me know. This does feel nice on lips and lasts a long time, this is probably my 3rd pot so be nice to try something new.

Wei Rapid Glow Liquid Milk

brightening

Review: Wei Rapid Glow Liquid Milk

Wei Rapid Glow Liquid Milk £38 for 200ml
I feel that Wei is a brand that isn't talked about enough, apart from for their masks, which are amazing (I have only tried the brightening one). After reading into the brand I can see that a lot of research goes into their products. They put in a good balance of ancient Chinese medicine and modern technology into their products.

I bought this milk to replace my toner/ hydrating spray that I was using, this has a lot more skin care benefits and does a lot more than a hydrating spray did. This is very easy to use, you just put a few drops into the palm of your hands and press it into your face, you don't have to mess about with cotton pads etc.

I have been using this for over a month now and have seen a difference in my skin, in terms of smoothness and brightness. My skin feels really smooth, most of the small bumps that I had on my cheeks, chin and forehead have gone. My skin appears brighter since using this milk, I find that my skin gets really dull in the winter months because of the cold weather and central heating, however this has kept it looking bright.

I would love to try other products from the brand, if you have any recommendations please comment below and let me know.

Natura Bisse Glyco Extreme Peel

award winning

Review: Natura Bisse Glyco Extreme Peel

Natura Bisse Glyco Extreme Peel

£199 for 30ml

I have used many home Glycolic Peels after having them professionally with MD Formulations for a year. A lot of the at home kits are very low in terms of Glycolic Acid percentage and don't work well on my skin.

You must be thinking...wow £199 but after using this once a week for the past 4 months I think this is the best Glycolic Acid home peel I have ever used (you can tell by the grubby packaging). I think this product has the highest percentage of Glycolic Acid that you can buy on the shelves, therefore it has a good level.

I use this once a week on a Friday, so that my skin is ready for the weekend, when I wear the most make up and want my skin to look at its best. The peel leaves my skin glowing and extremely clean feeling. It takes away all the dead skin, fades the pigmentation on my face and leaves my skin really smooth.

For those of you who haven't ever used a product like this, this is not like a chemical peel which makes your skin actually peel. The ingredients in this product don't make your skin peel and is great for people with oily skin and acne prone skin as it goes in deep into the layers. It is even great for people who have dry skin to help with exfoliation and help illuminate the skin.

Please comment below to let me know if you know of any glycolic peels I can try.

Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask

brightening

Review: Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask

Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask
£60 for 50ml
I was recommended this mask after having a back treatment and facial at Omorovicza at Liberty, this was an amazing experience and I would completely recommend it to anyone. I don't think you need to have skin issues to have treatments like this, they are just a nice relaxing experience and a deep cleanse.

I don't normally like clay masks but think they are essential as they really clear the pores out from deep down and bring out all the impurities. However, after using this mask I changed my mind because the clay in this mask is so soft and not drying at all. I sometimes forget that I have put the mask on and it could be on for an hour and I wouldn't even feel my skin pulling. I have found that other clay masks start to feel dry and pull on the skin after 10-15 minutes, but this mask is completely different.

This mask is full of minerals and calcium from Budapest and has a special hydro mineral transference system, which only comes from Budapest. This system is able to deliver the minerals in the product deep into the skin, where as normal minerals are too large to go into the skin.

After using this once a week for a month, I found that I had hardly used much in the pot, which means that it is value for money. I also found my skin to be clearer, brighter and a reduced amount of black and white heads. I usually apply this with a small flat foundation brush, to not waste product and then wash it off after about 20-25 minutes, unless of cause I forget that I have put it on my face. I find that it washes off very easily and you don't have to scrub it off like other clay masks.

Please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Review: Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Souffle Mask

Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Souffle Mask

£34 for 75ml

Rating: 4/5

I was recommended this mask after having a facial with Natura Bisse at Liberty's, along with the Natura Bisse vitamin C moisturiser for hyper pigmentation.

I used this mask once a week after throughly exfoliating my skin, the texture of the mask was really nice and creamy and very easy to apply. Once the mask dried it didn't feel tight but still felt soft and nourishing. The mask lightened my pigmentation over time, but it took a while, however after using the mask my skin felt very clean, soft and bright.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick pick me up before a night out or something to put on while relaxing. It instantly brightens the skin and make up application after using the mask is really nice.

Alternative Products I would recommend:

Malin & Goetz Detox Face Mask £30.50 for 118ml
