My favourite Exfoliator and Cleanser for Winter 2015

 

I've only used these products for a few days but I have got to write how I feel about them now! They are uh-mazing! Seriously, why haven't I used these two before? What's going on?!

Ok, so first of all I use the GLAMGLOW® Flashmud™ Brightening treatment as an exfoliation rather than a mask because of it's consistency. It does say to apply on dry skin; for me it didn't work as well as I thought so I used it in the shower and wetted my face first before applying it and I found that that worked much better on my skin. So I use that first for my face and I work it in all over especially below my ears and on my neck because that's where my driest patches are and need more exfoliating attention. I have dry patches on my forehead, my cheeks and my chin and sometimes down the sides of my nose. Once I've done something else like shampoo and condition my hair I'll go back and wet it off. 

I absolutely love how my skin feels after using this. It creates a luminous, balanced skin-tone that appears to be brighter and more even. Seriously. You need to try this!

 

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser – I had heard so many reviews and YouTube videos on this product. I was in Sephora and I couldn't say no to getting this for $15! 

So once I've washed off all the GLAMGLOW® product I lather this all over my face. You don't need to use too much either, it goes a long way! At first I didn't really like the smell (it smells of cucumber which I don't like! )But after a while I got used to it and again, I loved how it made my skin feel.  It does say on the back that it doesn't strip out any of the skins essential moisture. It gently cleanses makeup and impurities. My skin feels very healthy, nourished and soothing. 

As its coming up to the colder season you really need to pay more attention to your skin and listen to what it's telling you. You really need to give your skin a good scrub with a good exfoliator to get rid of all the makeup grit and grime and scrub away the flakiness from your face because at this time of the year skin tends to dry up a lot quicker and creates flakiness which looks uneven after you've applied foundation. 

So there you have it my two ultimate favourite skincare products this season which everybody should consider trying.

Have any of you used these products together or just on their own? Let me know what your thoughts are.

Also, I really want to try out the Josie Maran Argan Oil for my face after using here? Has anybody used this on their face? Is it too heavy? Do you think it would be great over the Winter months? Comment your thoughts below :)

Sephora Haul Florida 2015

Hello!

So I thought I'd share with you my Sephora/ one thing from Walgreen’s beauty haul.

Ole Henriksen The clean truth™ cleansing cloths Brightening – I've heard so much about these and I couldn't say no to buying them. I have used them a few times but not enough to do a review so I will do that shortly.

GLAMGLOW® Flashmud™ Brightening treatment- I haven't seen this one before but it was on the counter for me try so I tried a little bit on my hand when I was there and carried on shopping and when I went back to it I got rid of all the bits that were left on my hand (exfoliant) and I couldn't believe how soft my hand was. It was amazing. I couldn't say no!

GLAMGLOW® ThirstyMud™ Hydrating Treatment – I have dry skin and heard many Youtubers raving on about this product so I didn't want to purchase the full size because they are priced so I purchased the smaller size for I think it was $19. I haven't used much of it yet but so far I really like it. Full review coming soon!

Smashbox Photo finish Foundation Primer Hydrating – I think you've caught the just that I have dry skin. No seriously. Every time I put foundation on in the morning it looks flaky by 11am. So I'm going to do all it takes to keep my skin hydrated. Hopefully this will suffice.

Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream – I LOVE this product. Holy grail. Life saver. Full review can be seen here.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser – Again, I've heard so much about this product. I couldn't say no especially because the price was $15, not bad I thought. So far I'm loving this with the GLAMGLOW® brightening treatment. Full review will be done soon.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - I've been looking for a really good concealer, you know? The ones which aren’t hard and drying or ones that are too liquid you and create lines. So I heard this concealer would be great. So far I'm loving it. Really brightens up the eye area and doesn't create lines. Will do a full review soon :)

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – I haven't had chance to use this yet because obviously when I was shopping for it I had a tan but I knew when I got home I'd go pale so I had to get a lighter shade. Obviously my tan hasn't gone yet so I haven't been able to use this Foundation as of yet but I seriously can't wait to!

EOS lip balm – The one thing I got at Walgreens. I loved how people always greeted you as soon as you went there with ‘Hi, welcome to Walgreens’ so cute. Again, seen so many talk about this so I had to pick it up on the last day.

So there you have it. I did buy a few clothing items when I was there. Do you guys want to see them? Outfit of the day post? Have any of you tried these products? What did you think of them? Yay or Nay? Thumbs up or down? Leave a comment below

Chow for now

Naomi :)
