Blogtober day 1: First Aid Beauty (FAB) review

I have ALWAYS wanted to try first aid beauty products, and I was lucky enough to receive the First Aid Beauty: FAB Faves to go kit. This included a cleaner, moisturiser and toner pads. 

Firstly, the ultra repair cream: this is really moisturising. I sadly suffer from dry skin on my face, always peeling and sore. After a few applications of this cream I could see a huge difference in my skin! I definitely think I will be purchasing the full sized soon!

Next up is the cleanser, I took this away with me when I stayed at a friends last week, this is the second cleanser that I've tried. It is admitted not as great as the Benefit Foamingly Clean, but it does a good job regardless. This is the first ever cleanser my friend had tried though and she commented on how soft her skin felt after using it. 

Lastly, the toning and brightening pads. These are not great, they work well after using the cleanser, but the smell is awful. If you are over 18/21 and have ever tried an alcoholic drink called a jäger bomb, well this is what these pads smell like. It's not so pleasing. I also haven't seen a change in exfoliation, brightness or toning. I know I haven't given then a long time to work, but the smell definitely put me off.

Summer skin ready

Who wants summer ready skin? I want summer ready skin! 

 

1. First up is an eczema cream Dermalex, after being given so many steroid creams and thick solutions that didn't work, I finally came across this in Boots! It's quite pricey at around £28 a tube, but is steroid free and seriously the best thing I have ever used on my eczema, so soothing and repairing!

2. Secondary is Benefits Refined Finish from the B.Right. This formula is my favourite skin cc care product that I own, and I seriously cannot wait to purchase the rest of the B.Right skincare range! I've been using this since Christmas and it really does make a difference, creates soft and smooth skin. 

3. Neutrogena pink grapefruit cream wash is so refreshing! Use this every morning and it prevents break outs and scaring from acne, if you're new to skincare this is an easy start to looking after your skin. 

4. Lush King of Skin Butter Bar melts so quickly, smells amazing, and definitely a must have! It's very moisturising and soothing, I use this just after I've shower and even though it does take a long time to sink into the skin, it leaves you smelling amazing and fresh. 

5. Neutrogena grapefruit moisturiser is one of my favourites, again very refreshing, I use this after the facial wash, before I apply my make up. It's not sticky and it doesn't take forever to soak into the skin, but still leaves a fresh feel and moist skin ready to prep for make up. 

6. Last but not least is Soap and Glory Hand Food, again smells amazing, leaves hands feeling soft and prepped ready to paint your nails with your favourite summer nail polish! 

Until next time, lovelies x

Week in photos

It's that time of year when I university students have no social life, and the library is the only place you go when you leave the house. Assignment season. Carrying around so many books and spending every waking second typing away to boost the word counts! But in between all of that manic I've somehow managed to post a little something. So a short and sweet blog post is coming right up!

My first ever week in photos: 

Monday-

Not so much a busy week, just a week filled with work and shopping! 

April favourites

Two days early, but who can go wrong with a favourites post! 

This months favourites include beauty, decor and even food!!

First up, I relieved a promo letter from yankee candle the week before Easter. This letter stated I was entitled to a FREE candle!! So myself and my mum went into Peter Jones. I chose a 'Beach Walk' scent, with a jar entitled 'Best Friend' for my best friends birthday this week, along with a 'Sweet Pea' scent my mum purchased! We were then given a free 'Loves Me, Loves Me Not', and I can honestly say I have lot this candle every day since!!its a perfect spring/summer scent, it really does smell like daisies!! We were also give a free car air freshner and a reward card (BONUS). 

My second favourite this month has been my new glasses! Marc by Marc Jacobs tortoise shell, with a small gold bird clipped into the side. My old glasses would always slip off my face so I never wore them, these however, I just cannot be parted with!

Easter treat this year was a dressing table, and what a beautiful dressing table it is. This is from Dunelm, and there was also 20% Easter discount! This made the dressing table only £119, and what better to cover it with then all my favourite benefit cosmetics.

Next up, my beauty favourites, including A-Lister benefit lipgloss, a beautifully perfect, hydrating and head turning spring colour, I cannot part with this! 

Refined finished benefit cleanser has worked wonders for my dry skin these last few weeks, and I seriously can't wait to buy the full product when student loan goes in (everyone has a cheeky little loan purchase). And finally Fake Up, the best concealer I have, and I think I will ever experience, it is definitely a product I will purchase over and over again. 

Last but certainly not least, a candy floss frappaccino, a vanilla cream with a few pumps of raspberry syrup, heaven in the mouth!
