Project Use It Up - September

 
 
These are the products that I've chosen to try and finish off this month. Luckily, I don't seem to have any products that are earing the end of their shelf life but I still have plenty of products to use up from my stash.
 
* The Body Shop - Chinese Ginseng and Rice Toner
I want to finish off this (and the Body Shop Vitamin E toner) as I don't think that either are doing too much for my skin. Hydrating? Yes, but not as deeply hydrating as other toners and lotions currently in my stash. I think after I've finished both of these up that I'll go back to The Body Shop Seaweed Toner - which, although not as hydrating, does provide a less astringent tone than my glycolic acid toners. They are both taking a while to use up though, so I'm not confident that I'll finish it off this month as there's still about half a bottle to use.
 
* Decleor - Micellar Oil
Have been using this pretty much consistently for the past two months and it's still not finished. Getting a bit bored with this now!
 
* Superdrug Naturally Radiant - Glycolic Cleansing Pads
Whilst I think that the Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Toner is my favourite out of all the Glycolic Toners I've tried (including Pixi Glow Tonic and The Ordinary Glycolic Toner) these pads are not as moist as I'd like. I'd much rather stick to the Glycolic toner where I can soak a cotton pad more fully than these ready-soaked pads. About 30 pads still left to use.
 
* Trifle Cosmetics - Sugar Pear Lip Scrub
It's a small sample, but I don't want to over-exfoliate my lips so this didn't get used up last month. There can't be much left in this tube though. I love the smell of the pear - but the taste is not good!
 
* Ultrasun - Face 30 SPF
I don't like using this on my face as it's too greasy under make up. It also smells awful - like mushrooms! I've been using this up on my chest. I also prefer a sun screen with 50 SPF (or certainly higher than 30).
 
* Omorovicza - Rejuvenating Night Cream
Newly opened this month. I don't usually really like night creams as I find them a bit suffocating and heavy. But I really need to clear some of my moisturiser stash.

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

Thyme Out Review

Image
    Thyme Out - £18.00 for 200ml plus Mini Thyme-To-Go Refillable Spray BUY HERE   I first saw mention of this interesting tincture (love that word!) a couple of months ago on the Victoria Health online Newsletter. Initially, I was thinking about it in terms of a skincare product - a 100% organic natural repairing lotion. But so far, it's been used for so many more purposes. In fact, I think I can safely say that this has been a summer essential for all the family, and hasn't been confined to the skincare shelf at all.   What is it?   Thyme Out is a water-based tincture where the Thyme has been steeped for weeks to draw out all of it's healing properties. The ingredients are all natural and very simple - just organic thyme, purified water, organic grain alcohol, and organic aloe vera.   What does it do? Whilst the ingredients are simple, the list of ailments that Thyme Out can help with certainly is not!   Skin Soothing and Healing   Helps
