Treat Your Skin!

Hello again everyone!

So every now and again I like to 'treat' my face with a peel or a mask, after all, I do mistreat it sometimes *cough cough* a lot. 

Here are the products I use as a treat for myself

Estee Lauder Idealist Action Refinishing Treatment

I looooooooove this product.  I had to search long and hard to find it at a price I could afford, and yet it still wasn't the cheapest.  I do not regret buying it as it is worth every cent and I have had it for  ages and there is still a lot in the tube.

I use this when my skin starts to look a little dull and 'blah', and it leaves it feeling so soft and smooth.  I don't use it as often as it says on the tube as I find overusing can irritate the skin.

I also don't use my everyday Priori products with this as it is too much exfoliation in one go (it'll sting and you look like a lobster.  Learn from my mistake!)

Palmer's Purifying Mask

I love face-masks.  Absoloutely love them, and with this I have tried more than my fair share of them.  There are a lot of good ones out there, for me to write a list would take a life time (so I may always have something to write about here! haha).  I have only just recently started using this one. 

I love that it's a budget buy, it does a great deep cleanse and that it's nice on my sensitive skin.  So for me it's a winner.

I use this about once a week or so.

Well this is just a peek into my skincare. 

Hope you all have a great weekend xoxo

My first week!

Well today marks the one week anniversary of me starting my blog!  Yay me!

I think to celebrate, I may go out, have a coffee and soak up some of this glorious sunshine! 

Tomorrow I'll write about my skin 'treats'

Skincare-What Goes On My Face Daily

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a good weekend.

With my line of work (makeup artist, if you haven't picked up on it yet) I quite often get asked how I keep my skin looking bright and healthy.  Whilst a lot of it is all smoke and mirrors, and diet and exercise, I have found that using the right products have helped no end.

First off, I will describe my skin type (get ready, it's a doozy!)
My main concern is oil and pimples, this results in a fair bit of redness.  I also get a dry top layer of skin on my nose, but I quite often get sensitive skin on my cheeks (usually from the weather or trying out new products).  So if you have a similar skin type, this may be some products you should look in to.

So lets have a look!

Priori Gentle Face Cleanser
This is a beautiful cleanser.  It took a little getting used to as it's non-foaming.  But I found it was so gentle on my skin, and it doesn't strip the skin of oil

Priori Perfection Facial Gel
This is my favourite product!  For me it gives a slight exfoliation, so it helps me keep my skin smooth and really reduce the amount of spots I get.  It can be drying if I don't use enough moisturiser
 

Priori Barrier Repair Complex
A beautiful smooth, non-clogging moisturiser.  This is really needed if you're using the Perfection Facial Gel.  It also creates a beautiful base for makeup.

Palmer's Line Smoothing Eye Cream
This is a product I'm really new to, thanks to an emergency purchase (luggage loss) and I have been so happy with it!  I can't really say it has reduced any lines, as I don't really have any noticeable ones normally.  But my skin feels so soft and smooth around the eye area.  Gotta love a budget buy that works!

Face of Australia Gentle Make-up Remover
This is a nice and gentle makeup remover, that I've recently picked up on.  It's admittedly not the best in (heavy) makeup removal, but it doesn't strip my skin, clog my pores or make my eyes water, which is a nice way to end my day :-)
 

So this is my basic day to day skin care (I will do daily sun protection and make up entries in the future!)

Hope you're all well! xoxo

So new and already failed!

I had such good intentions in starting this blog!

I've been trying to get good photos and after the last few days trying, trying and trying again... I failed.

I'll keep trying the next few days so I can write a few reviews (and possibly outfit posts).  I'll see what I can do if I can't get decent ones :-)

Until then, have a great weekend!

Look at me, acting like anyone's reading this yet :-D

A Quick Introduction

Hi everyone!
So here I am, new to this whole blogging scene, so I thought I'd introduce myself!

I work as a freelance make-up artist and sometimes beauty therapist, and I'm looking at expanding my fledgling business.

And just because you read this...  Here's a picture of me kissing a dinosaur!

Thanks for sticking with me and I'll be back with an actual post soon!
