My Favourite High Street Cleanser And Toner


To me there is no nicer feeling at the end of the day than taking your entire make up off and cleansing and toning your face! So the products I use really need to do the job properly!
For a long time I used Simples kind to skin range cleanser and toner and it really did work for me. Then I think either my skin changed or my hormone levels changed because every time I used the cleanser it would just leave my skin feeling so greasy to the point where I was breaking out constantly. The toner also used to leave my skin feeling so raw no matter how soft I went or how little I used. Anyway this made me really sad because I loved the Simple products, but it looked like my skin no longer did.
Once the dry patches came, yes there were dry patches, I knew it was time to find a different product to use. So I started the search and tried out what seems like hundreds of high street brands, because at the time I couldn’t afford the more expensive stuff, and all of them left me wanting! Until one day I was in Superdrug and came across the L’oreal Paris Skin Perfection cleanser and toner. What caught my eye about them is that they are suitable for sensitive skin, are hypo- allergenic, contain no alcohol and no parabens. Basically no nasty stuff! After further inspection I realised these may just be the little beauties I was looking for. Both products claimed to hydrate; tone and leave my skin silky smooth and let me say they do just that!!
I have been using them for months now and I am so happy with the results. My dry patches went after just days and my skin quality improved dramatically. The cleanser is so light and creamy and has such a soothing effect when you use it. It certainly doesn’t leave your skin looking greasy, but instead leaves it feeling luxuriously soft. The toner isn’t rough at all, as I find some to be. It is like pearl liquid. Lightly and gently gliding over your skin. It didn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry, but left it feeling so comfortable and toned. They are also great at removing all traces of make up, even waterproof make up.
I am really happy with these products; I never imagined that a high street brand would give me such great results. My skin appears brighter, my pores less visible and I have not had one break out since using these products.

How to use for best results:
Cleanserapply to a dry face using upward and outward motions for about 2 –3 minutes. Wash off using a wet muslin cloth. (Its important to remember to was off your cleanser; otherwise you’ll be left with a greasy face that still has its dirt and nasty impurities.
Toner Apply your toner using a cotton wool ball or pad. Use soft upward and outward motions to remove all the dirt. (You don’t have to wash off your toner, but remember you don’t need to use a lot and be gently with the application)

 I would definitely recommend these little champions for everyone to try, especially people with sensitive skin, as they are just such a soft products. I love them and if they keep giving me the results they have they will be on my favourites list for months to come.

Take Care, Roschelle xx

My First Holiday




Earlier this year I went on holiday to Olu Deniz in Turkey. The experience was so amazing I really enjoyed learning all about another countries culture, heritage and history. Most of all, being a foody, I loved trying all the different foods. Mainly it was nice to get away from everyday life and just relax by the pool. So I thought I would share some of my holiday photos with you.

Take care. Roschelle xx









 

Review - L'oreal Paris Triple Active Anti-Shine Moisturiser.


I have been using this moisturizer for a few months now and I am so happy with the results!! It is an amazing little product that actually does what it says on the packaging and we all know there are so few products that actually deliver the expected results ;)
I have combination skin; well I have an oily T-zone, dry chin and sensitivity all over. So my moisturizer really has to be able to cater for all these problem areas and this guy did not disappoint. I can’t rave about this product enough!

What it says on the label; Mattifying, Hydrating Moisturizer.
1.        Hydrates for up to 8 hours.
2.       Refines skin surface, it appears smoother and pores appear less visible.
3.       Mattifies, anti shine complex gives you a long lasting matte effect.

What it contains;
1.        Glycerol for optimum hydration level.
2.       Salicylic Acid to stimulate natural surface exfoliation makes pores appear less visible. Also a key spot-fighting ingredient.
3.       Anti shine complex Perlite to absorb surface shine.
4.      Sebum for a long lasting matt effect.

What it actually does – EVERYTHING it says on the label IT DOES!! This product did not lull me in with false promises and then disappoint me, it delivered!!
My skin feels so hydrated from the moment I put it on through out the whole day; it doesn’t sink in or dry out. It also doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight.
My skin texture has improved dramatically it no longer looks dull or lifeless it appears vibrant and even. It is also velvet smooth to the touch, which is something I am so happy with.
I am extremely impressed with the fact that it mattifies my skin but can still give me all the benefits I have mentioned above.
This product controls shine expertly and because it is controlling my oil levels so well I have found that I have had fewer or no breakouts whilst using this product, their use of salicylic acid was genius!

I also love the texture and consistency of this moisturizer. It is so light and soft. The pigments in the cream almost make it appear to be made out of pearls. It spreads across your face so easily and penetrates deep down into pores. As someone who suffers from visible pores can I just say that it does actually work and makes them appear less noticeable from day one!! You do not need to use a lot of this product just a small finger sized amount gets the job done!

If like me you have combination skin and are struggling to find your perfect match I strongly suggest you give this guy ago, he is A-MAZ-ING!!!  I will most definitely be using him for a long time to come.

It is available to buy from

Boots
