My Beauty Buys In November 2021

     9 Comments

I have to admit in 2020 and the start of 2021, I did not buy many beauty products at all. I think the only things I bought in that period was SPF creams and lip balms, but apart from that NOTHING. The C-word did affect that and many other parts of my life too. Let us bring on the positives and see My Beauty Buys In November 2021

Makeup is still quite low on my priority list but I still enjoy wearing it occasionally. The main buys I have enjoyed getting are skincare products because, boy my skin needs some TLC in the colder months, brrr! My most bought things at the moment are Korean skincare and vibrant makeup.

Review: Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

AD-Gifted – Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

So last month I have kindly gifted the New Antipode Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream with some other skincare delights. I have never heard of probiotic being used in skincare before and, to be honest, the only time I heard of it was yoghurt haha. I have been using this at night time before I go to bed and let me start by saying wow, it’s a treat for my skin!

For me, Skincare is a huge part of my day as it one of those things that help start my day and also a thing that helps me wind down at night time. The night time skincare regime is my favourite as I love how it feels and for me, it’s very relaxing.

Review: Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials

AD-Gifted – Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials

Skincare is one of my favourite self-care things to do in the day. As I have gotten older, I have noticed my skin needs a bit more TLC so it’s important to get my skincare routine right. I want my routine to be right so my skin looks good through the years and adapts through age.

I was excited when Temple Spa asked me to try some products from their range. Since my skin is a combination I got the Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials. The collection has everything I need to start my day. They also have other skincare products in the range including products for sensitive, oily and dry skin and even a mix and match option.

My Favourite Skincare Products of 2020 – What a year!

     36 Comments

We are well into 2021 now but lets take a little look back to 2020.

2020 has to be one of the most trying years not just for Scotland but most of the world. I have not seen my family in over a year now and on top of that my routine has been completely changed because of the three lockdowns we have had. Since routines have changed so has my skincare routine. The main reasons being the everyday use of face masks, putting on harsh hand sanitiser and not forgetting just the stress of lockdown.

I have had to adjust my skincare regime a lot since lockdown started as I have noticed my skin is more sensitive and dry. My hands are drier because of using hand sanitiser more often and my face tends to get acne from wearing a face mask. This year has been a whirlwind for my skin, so adapting my skincare was a must.

Man Polish Men’s Moisturiser Review

     Leave a Comment

Hello, Darlings!
Man Polish a new brand to me and I was kindly sent it to review. Don’t let the name fool you as women can use this moisturiser too as I was informed by the company. I am a big fan of trying different brands of skincare products so giving this a try was so exciting for me. If you all may have noticed shops have started to stock more skincare products for me which I think is brilliant because a few years ago the choice wasn’t huge.
Man polish is made in the UK and it comes in 3 different types which are subtle, neutral and strong. The moisturisers are tailored to men’s skin and last all day long and are suited for men of any age.

Lush Sleepy Body Lotion – So did it help me sleep?

     3 Comments

 
 
Lush Sleepy Body Lotion – So did it help me sleep?  I’ve been using Lush products  for a fair few years now. I have had many products I have loved and many products I want to try. I heard so much fuss going on about Lush Sleepy body lotion, I couldnt wait to try it out( not much problem for me because I sleep so easily)
 
Lush is a very well known brand and is available online and instore in the UK and also around the world too. Lush is a is very passionate about being cruelty-free and all of their products are either vegetarian or vegan-friendly.

Packaging & Scent of Sleepy Body Lotion

I love the packaging of the skincare at Lush and sleepy is no different. It comes in a variety of sizes, I chose the 95g option which cost me £7.95 but I wish I got the larger size 215g at £13.95 because I have almost finished it all already. After all, it works wonderfully well as I will explain more in detail as the post goes on.
 
So this lotion is made with a gentle oatmeal infusion with calming lavender flower and the beautifully scented Tonka absolute. I don’t know if everyone will agree with me but it smells like a sweet biscuit scent which isn’t overpowering but just right.

Lush Sleepy Body Lotion – So did it help me sleep? 

Now it may be all well and good that it smells heavenly but how does it work on the skin and does it actually help you sleep?  Well, in my opinion, it helped me have a much smoother sleep and I was asleep very quickly not long after applying this before bed. It also works wonders for my sensitive skin. This is the perfect go-to whole body moisturizer as it softens and hydrates the skin effortlessly while making you smell wonderful at the same time.
