Hope you are all well and good news.... IT IS NEARLY FRIDAY!! YAY!!
Also, how awesome is my new blog design?! The lovely Lauren Marie designed it & I love the classic simplistic but pretty look to it!Anyways, on to business & that is to tell you about a new blog challenge that the gorgeous Samantha at All The Buzz has started. Each week us beauty bloggers have a topic & we tell you our favourites & the tried & tested goodies.
So there you have my skin saviours!! Make sure you check out the other beauty bloggers that are taking part in this weekly challenge to see what they swear by for their skin (you can see the whole list of bloggers involved on Samatha's blog here -http://allthebuzz.co.uk/blogger-challenge/
Week 1 was Skin Care saviours...and as I read Samantha's email I cringed at my lack of skincare. As a beauty blogger I know I know, I should be better but I am woeful bad with my skincare. I have made it a resolution in March when I am home from France seeing the little sister (and going mad in Sephora...don't judge me!) to invest more in my skin care (and less in makeup..so more spending €€€ on lip crayons Sarah *ehem*)
However, in the little skin care routine I do have THESE are my life savers, the ones that when my skin looks "washed out", dull or greasy I will cling to:
However, in the little skin care routine I do have THESE are my life savers, the ones that when my skin looks "washed out", dull or greasy I will cling to:
Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed - This mask is applied to dry skin, leave on for 3 minutes & get it deep cleanse your pores. As I have fierce bad blackheads I find this helps keep them at bay. Also, as with all Soap & Glory products, it smells DIVINE!
Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask- this gel like mask is applied in a thin later all over, leave a few minutes then peeeel off to remove all the dead skin cells and all other ewww-ness! It sounds rank but there is something satisfying removing it all!!
Voya Get Glowing Mask - Another mask again (I LOVE me some masks!) This stuff truly is MAGIC. My skin gets so dull & "grey" looking (great descriptive words there Sarah!) but the seaweedy goodness in this wee tub detoxics my skin & really does leave my skin glowing. If you are ever in Strandhill in Sligo get yourself down to the Voya spa & get a seaweed bath, does WONDERS for you!!
Cleanse Off Mitt - with this mitt you can do AMAZING this..Check out my review HERE!
You can remove ALL traces of makeup with this miracle glove & lukewarm water. I used to use wipes (I know!! I know, BIG NO-NO!!) but with this wee invention I have most definitely BINNED THE WIPES!!
Finally.. As I have crazy dry skin everywhere else I don't have oily skin (lovely combo?) this is the moisturiser I have been loving at the minute as it intensely hydrates my poor cheeks!

Also, this tube lasts for ages so you can lather it on, and it doubles up for face & body!

I had never heard of the voya mask - it sounds amazing!! Do they sell it online do you know?
ReplyDeletelove the sound of a peel off mask!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad there's someone else doing this challenge that is bad with skincare, it's one of my new year's resolutions too and I'm slowly starting to get into taking better care of my skin, these posts have definitely inspired me to go and pick up some new products and start looking after my skin! The no clogs allowed is definitely going on my wishlist! :) x
ReplyDeleteCatherine
I love those face masks too! The Soap&Glory and Boots Tea Tree peel off - couldn't believe how great they were when I first tried them :)
ReplyDeleteAlso love the Nivea soft - great all rounder, especially on dry skin. It's as good as any higher end moisturisers I've tried! x
I love a good mask too! That soap and glory looks fab!! X
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who finds something satisfying about peeling off a face mask! Definitely going to give that Boots one a go! :) x
ReplyDeleteLove no clogs allowed, one of my favourites x
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of both masks but I wish the Boots one had a bit of colour to it. I always end up missing bits with the clear ones
ReplyDeleteI love the peel off masks. They are so much fun.
