Simplicity

At the start of the year i promised myself i was going to get a 'proper' skin care routine and stick to it. My aim was to follow the whole cleanse, tone and moisturise thing religiously but it just didn't work out for me.

I gave it ago for about two months... and found my skin becoming dry and sensitive & outbreaks of blemishes were occurring more and more often. I think it was probably just because my skin isn't used to that much product and chemicals. Everyone's skin is different and this 3 stage routine will no doubt work absolute wonders for some people.

So i decided to give something else a go because i couldn't bear the horrible spots any more... And whilst in lush i came across this:


Lush 9 to 5 - orchid oil cleansing lotion
£4.50 for 95g or £8.95 for 240g

The lush website describes it as "A simple yet beautiful liquid facial cleanser for those times when you’re in a hurry and need to just cleanse and go. Contains a lovely light fragrance of honeysuckle and ylang ylang. 9 to 5 will gently remove all traces of dirt, grease and make up without dragging the skin. You will be left feeling fresh, clean and ready to start the day". 

I really like this product and i'm so glad i found it :) Its light and milky and smells lovely, not a trace of horrible chemicals. It removes your make up and also cleanses (two birds, one stone) and i must say it leaves my face feeling nice and mosturised. I simply just use this with cotton wool pads and tah-dahhhhh, smooth clear skin.


Although i feel like this cleanser has helped to reduce blemishes, sometimes the odd flare up cannot be helped. For those times i find this product unbeatable:


Some people swear by this and some find it a odd product to use of your face, i am a huge lover of this!!! Its a antiseptic healing cream so it makes sense really that it would help in the spot department. This little baby isn't just a nappy rash cream, it is also good for eczema, burns and acne. I really find this helps reduce redness and reduces spot size... With it being antiseptic it also helps to stop any future spots in their tracks :)

So there it is... my super simple skin routine :)
I really have seen a huge difference, what are your skin must haves?

Lush Lovelies

So payday has finally arrives and there was a few bits and pieces I've been lusting after (even wrote myself a little pay day wish list haha). Going to try my hardest to be somewhat 'good' this month, so I've decided to buy the bits I'm after now at the beginning of the month  so i can be super super good for the rest of the month. Well... this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Decided to treat myself to some items from lush today:



1) Bubblegum Lip scrub £4.95 - It smells absolutely amazing! I have been meaning to get one for a while if I'm honest as i find that due to how often i wear lipstick my lips can be quite dry, and the lipstick doesn't always apply smoothly. You just pop a tiny bit on rub it in for a few seconds, then remove it (it says to lick it off - and it is good enough to eat) but i prefer just wiping it off. Ta-dahhhhh super smooth lips.




2) 9-5 cleanser £4.50 - I got this after seeing someones review on it (sorry cant remember who?!?) With it being all natural i figured it must be good for the skin, right? Impression so far... It has left my skin super soft :) will review more when i have used it for a reasonable amount of time.



3) Happy Blooming bubble bar £3.85 - This smells delicious, mmmm cherries!!! You get three baths out of this bar too, bonus :) Cant wait to use it.




4) Butterball bath bomb £2.40 - A creamy bath bomb with ylang ylang and vanilla, smells really nice. Nothing beats a lush bathbomb bubble bath after a hard days work :)




Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite lush products?
