Skincare Favourites

Hi guys! So this post is something a little different today. I've teamed up with the lovely Khadija from Sugar Babbles to bring you our skincare favourites. Khadija is a journalist student from Saudi Arabia with a passion for cooking, reading and writing. She has a really wonderful blog and posts all things beauty and fashion; you should all definitely go and check it out! 

Now onto the skincare:

My Favourites

1. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I use this cleanser every-night to take the bulk of my make-up off. It is an essential step in my skincare routine. I take it on a cotton pad and find it gently dissolves the make-up making it easy to remove, even my dark eye make-up, and without stinging too.

2. Origins GinZing Cleanser

I can't rave about this cleanser enough, it's truly lovely to use and is lovely to my skin.  I take a pea sized amount of this scrub and massage it around my face to gently but effectively exfoliate. I love using this cleanser as it's just so refreshing and smells just darn lovely. Sometimes I find exfoliaters risky as they can dry out the skin but this one doesn't at all.

3. Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask

This is the newest addition to my skincare essentials but it's definitely sticking around. I notice such a difference in my skin after using it. Immediately after using it my skin feels soft and revitalized as well visibly reducing redness. After using it several times, I then started to notice the difference in my skin. I found that my make-up went on much smoother and blended easier whilst also lasting longer throughout the day without having to touch up powder. I just wish I'd found this product sooner; I love it.

4. Hydraluron Serum

This product claims that its effects include better hydrated, glowing, plumped up looking skin. In my opinion, I can confirm that indeed it does all of these things. I don't use this product daily, but when I do use it I really notice the difference in the morning. I apply a pea sized amount (which is all you need) of this serum to a freshly washed face before then applying moisturiser. In the morning I can visibly the notice the plumpness; it just makes my skin look and feel healthy. I tend to use this serum on nights when I know I have something significant the next day; it pretty much guarantees a good skin day.

5. Origins Super Spot Remover

Whilst I don't use this all that frequently, I just had include it in my skincare essentials/favourites as I think that if you're looking for a spot treatment, this is a good way to go... a great way actually. I really need to repurchase this soon as I have (eventually) run out... for a teeny bottle it lasts a heck of a long time. That's what's great about this product, the smallest amount does the job. It really is a life saver when I bet a blemish. I love the name too, kind of sound likes a bad ass superhero... just me?

Khadija's Favourites

Hi Loves,

 It's so good to be on Kelly's page today and if you can't tell, I am sooo excited! Well, as you can tell by the topic, today's post will be all about my favourite skincare products! So, if you want to know more, just keep reading!

First things first. I make sure I drink plenty of water when I wake up in the morning. It not only keeps my skin clean but also gives me the boost I need.

My skin care routine has been same for many months now. I like to change up some products here and there, but for the most part it is the same.

1- Shiseido Advanced SR cream

I have seen a vast difference ever since I started using this product. It has something magical, I promise, because I don't get break outs! I use this as the first step towards preping my face.

2- Shiseido Super restoring cream

This cream restores as the name suggests. It balances the ph level in the skin and does all kinds of wonders! I love this product!

3- Shiseido Advanced Essential Energy(Body Refining Complex)

This lotion is almost gel like in consistency. It is thick but not greasy. It is absorbed very quickly by the skin.

4- Shiseido Luminizing Lotion

Again, I use this along with the previous lotion. But I use this less often than that one. It has a little bit of luminosity to it, which is not my everyday kind of a thing.

5- Olay Natural White cream (Night time)

I only use this cream during night time. I highly suggest having a night regime as well. Your skin heals it self during night. So its very important to treat it with some good nourishing creams.

6- Whitening Eye Gel from Boots

I am obsessed with this stuff! It really does work! This is my second repurchase. It really whitens the under eye and reduces the appearance of dark circles.

7- EOS lip balm

 I always change my lip balm. It really just depends on my mood. Today I used the EOS lip balm in lemon drop. If you wish to read an in-depth review about this product,you may click on my previous post about it here: EOS lip balm Review

 So, I guess that's it. I will wrap up my post. If you liked this post then do read my other posts too on http://sugarbabbless.blogspot.com/ Till next time Cya!
