Beauty & The Books

It has been a while since I have posted anything beauty/skincare related so, I have decided to update you on my skincare routine! (You can thank a comment from a follower for this) Just a little information on my skin: I have an oily t-zone and pretty normal skin otherwise I use the same skincare routine for day and night (sometimes using an extra hydrating moisture mask or cream at night) And I have been using these products for 4 months minimum. Here is a little review of all the products shown in the photograph. (read till the end for a little tutorial) TZone Clear Pore Facial Wash: Claims from Amazon.co.uk T-Zone Daily Cleansing, Effective Skincare, Naturally Anti-bacterial. Removes the Grease, Oil and Bacteria that can cause spots. Helps to prevent the build-up of dead skin cells. Leaves great looking shine-free skin. Guards against over dry skin. Gentle wash that I feel really cleans my face and removes all the dirt. Slightly drying but nothing uncomfortable...

If you are a follower of mine (especially on instagram) you already know that I am a huge fan of L'oreal's new skincare range!! After it being recommended to me by a close friend I thought that I would try it out, and now I am hooked! I used to be a fan of the T-Zone products (I still love them they are definitely tried and tested) Photo Credit:  http://www.nytrendymoms.com/2016/07/loreal-paris-pure-clay-mask-review.html I will talk briefly of the masks as I have already discussed them  here , I am currently using the Glow and the Brightening mask. I do feel like my skin has a newer glow/brightness to it as well as clearness however it is subtle. But I have definitely noticed a change in skin texture and feel, my skin feels smoother and my pores are smaller but still there. I am also using the charcoal face wash, which I love as well and it smells like fresh heaven. Now to the holy grail for all those with combination to oily skin!!! Drum roll pleaseeeeeeeee...

I don't really have much of a skincare routine, just thought that I'd mention a few products that I really enjoy! Photo Cred:  http://www.nytrendymoms.com/2016/07/loreal-paris-pure-clay-mask-review.html L'oreal Clay Mask I found this mask by recommendation from a friend and I have to say I am so glad that I got this! Boots have a wide range of these but I chose the Detox Mask (the black one) and from the onset it made my skin lovely and soft. I love using this mask just before I apply my makeup as it creates a flawless and clean base. To apply I use the real techniques foundation brush (I didn't really have much use for it beforehand) and spread an even layer onto my skin, whilst the mask hardens/dries you can see the oil from the pores in your skin. Then simply just wash off.
