First up we have the No.7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum. I've been using this for I'd say almost a year now and I love it. I never really had a serum that I would use regularly before this, I guess I hadn't found one that I liked enough. This particular one is aimed at targeting the first signs of ageing, keeping skin looking radiant and younger for longer. Now let's be honest who doesn't want to look younger for longer?
It has a beautiful light texture, that absorbs into the skin straight away leaving it feeling super soft and smooth. I have often found other serums too rich and almost heavy on the skin but not this one. I have been using it morning and evening and I think it really has done a lot to improve the tone and texture of my skin. My skin tone has evened out a lot, and I also feel it has helped combat some of the more oily zones on my face. My skin just generally feels healthier and I really think adding this to my routine has been a big factor.
You might think it's a bit pricey for a pharmacy brand but honestly a little goes a long way and any time I get the No.7 vouchers I use them to stock up. So if you have one lying around in your purse now's the time to use it people and hop on the serum bandwagon!
Next up it's the Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm. Intending to buy a clinique lipstick I came home with two of them and this rather lovely jar of cleansing balm. As the name suggests it literally takes all your make off, yes even waterproof mascara. It almost transforms into an oil when you rub it in, but doesn't leave any kind of greasy film on the skin. It's a perfect everyday cleanser, it does exactly what it says on the tin and leaves your skin totally clean and beautifully soft. A little goes a long way so this 125ml tub will last a long time, believe me.
The last facial skincare product I'll talk about here is the Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil. I had wanted to get a facial oil for a long time and I knew these clarins oils have a cult following and a great reputation. I don't routinely use a night cream and I decided I'd go for this oil instead. I use it every night you only need 2-3 drops for the whole face. This particular lotus one is for combination skin, now you might think oily skin doesn't need more oil but honestly it has really helped to balance my skin. My pores are much less visible, and oily and dry areas are much improved. I have really noticed a difference in my skin and I could not be without this oil now. Maybe my favourite thing about it though has to be the smell, oh it's just divine and now it reminds me of going to bed which always makes me happy!
Now lastly onto some body care. The L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil. Beauty bloggers have been raving about this for as long as I've been reading blogs and I finally got my hands on a small bottle from sephora just to try it out and see what all hype was about. I have since purchased a full size bottle so that'll tell you how I feel about. It transforms into a lovely foam and I can't tell you how soft it makes your skin. It has a lovely luxurious scent and honestly no product has ever made my skin so soft. Try get yourself a sample before you invest and you'll see what I'm talking about.
