Thoughts

Four words that make me very happy - Multi-Tasker Beauty Balm!

It's not a surprise at all that Pure Savvy have created such a product for their range. After all the whole Pure Savvy concept is based on a no-nonsense and effective approach to skincare. And the Multi-Tasker Beauty Balm fits that criteria perfectly. It's a one-pot product which can be utilised in so many different ways for pretty much every part of your body, head to toe!

I never want to become complacent when using a product. And I feel that it would be complacent of me to use this for the four areas where I would usually employ a beauty balm - lips, cuticles, elbows and knees (or other rough and dry areas).

But this balm inspired me on its very first use. On the same day I received this, I had bought a new eye shadow and it was such a pretty eye shadow that I was musing that it would actually make a gorgeous lip colour too. But being in powder form, wearing it on my lips alone would be patchy, too dry and short-wearing. So after picking up the Multi-Tasker balm and oohing and aahing at its gorgeous silky consistency. I immediately popped some on my lips as a hydrating balm. And then I decided to see what would happen if I added some of my new eye shadow over the top of the balm, figuring it would at least create some adherence to my lips.
And yes, it worked! I felt like some kind of intrepid explorer in that moment as the combination of the balm and the eye shadow on my lips made a pretty good job of creating a creamy lipstick! I have since learned that I am far from being this amazingly ground-breaking pioneer, but hey, it was new to me!

For me, a good multi-purpose balm is something akin to a comfort blanket. I just love the texture of a balm; I love the feeling of instant soothing and comfort and moreover, I love the addition of an uplifting scent. Multi-Tasker is scented with Frankincense and Neroli, which just happens to be one of my favourite scent combinations. 



The soothing and calming powers of this balm have been proven when I tried this out as a remedy for itchy skin (yet another delightful peri-menopausal symptom).
The itchiness on my arms can drive me crazy and I'm often left with red welts where I've been scratching. I found that if I use the Multi-Tasker balm on my arms once in the morning and again before bed, this really reduces the itchiness (which is caused by drier skin) and also soothes my skin and leaves it looking and feeling a lot calmer.

The only usage that I've not quite gotten the best out of is using this as a morning moisturiser. It's just that little bit too much for my oily-prone skin. But as a night moisturiser, it's actually perfect for nourishing and hydrating my skin overnight. Better still, when applied to slightly damp skin (a quick spritz of facial mist) it's much quicker to apply and absorb.

Honestly, I've been able to utilise this gorgeous balm in so many ways in my skin, body and hair care routines. It truly is an all-rounder. And I have a feeling that I still haven't discovered all of the ways that I can benefit from it just yet. It all it takes is some Multi-Tasker balm and a little bit of imagination!

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&

TonyMoly ~ The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream Review

Image
TonyMoly  ~The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream   I'm coming to the end of this pot of pore gel cream which I have been using everyday, both morning and evening since I opened it nearly two months ago. But typically, there seems to be very little information about this online and it doesn't seem to be readily stocked and easy to buy!   I picked this up from T.K Maxx, which could explain why it doesn't seem like a popular product online (and I mean popular in readily available) as it was possibly an end of line product, hence the reason why it ended up in T.K Maxx.   The product   The Fresh Phytoncide pore cream gel is a lightweight gel cream in the same vein as the water/aqua gels. It contains 100% pure Hinoki Cypress Water instead of distilled water. The cream is suited for oily/combination skin and acne troubled skin and enlarged pores.   Ingredients The writing on the pot is all in Korean but I found a list of ingredients on the CosDNA site.
