No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush

I was so excited to use the cleansing brush. I really wanted the clarisonic Mia2 after seeing so many great reviews and after my fav YouTuber (Jaclyn Hill) did a video about it. But I can't justify the price at the moment so I thought this was a great cheap alternative! At only £24.99 I think its a bargain. It takes 2 AA battery's which are included so no charger. It has one button, press once to switch on to the first speed setting, press again for a faster speed and third time to switch off. It has an oscillating head that you  I have used it for a week now and so far so good. I have been using it just in the evenings on the first setting for 20 seconds on forehead and nose and then 10 seconds on each cheek and my chin. It doesn't have a timer so I just roughly count in my head. I can really see and feel the difference in my skin. My skin feels smoother and I have less breakouts. When I first used it I found it to be quite rough and hurt my cheeks but after a few days I learnt to use it very lightly over my cheeks and it's been great! You apply cleanser to your skin, wet the brush head and away you go. Afterwards you just rinse your face and the brush and continue with your skin care routine.

No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser

The beautiful skin collections is designed for normal to oily skin and I am most definitely the latter. It is a soap free foaming cleanser, it has a easy to use pump dispenser.  It has No7’s multivitamin and mineral blend in it to hydrate and energise the skin it also contains zinc which help regulate the skin’s oil production that us oily skins really need! I really like this cleanser I have used it before but had forgot about it. You only need 2 pumps worth of product so it lasts a very long time. It smells really nice and fresh, it has which-hazel in and I think I can pick out that fragrance. Hears how I use it I dampen my face, apply 2 pumps worth of the foam using upwards and circular motions all over my face and neck then remove it with a face cloth and warm water. In the evening I will cleanse once with then then apply the foam on my face and use the cleansing brush.

No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream

This cream is super light, it is non-pore blocking and enriched with zinc to balance oil production and prevent breakouts. I have to admit I hate using creams and oils I hate how they feel on my skin. Being oily I don't like heavy creams but this is nice and light and absorbs really quickly! It smells just like the cleanser and I love that as I hate putting different smelling products on my skin. You only need a tiny bit as a little goes a long way. I haven't got much to say about this it's just a really nice day cream :)

Soap and Glory The Fab Pore

OMG this mask is fabulous! I am hooked I am using it twice a week I apply with a mask fan brush using a thin layer over my cheeks which can get quite dry and a thicker layer over my t-zone leaving on for 10-15 mins. It says to leave on for 5 mins for a quick refresher or 15 mins for a deeper clean and can be used 1-3 times a week. It contains
~Superfruit Yuzu a Japanese citrus fruit hailed as the next superfood because of its level of vitamin C
~ PORESHRINK™-R complex - beta-hydroxy acid (a blend of encapsulated salicylic and lactic acids) which fight spots by gently peeling away pore-clogging dead skin cells and reducing inflammation, plus fomes officinalis mushroom extracts to tighten pores, and kaolin microclay to soak up excess sebum secretion and smooth the skin’s surface
~ RICE MICROBEADS - scrubbing spheres that gently smooth, polish and exfoliate
It's perfect to use before a night out, I have found after using this my make up stays on so much better.

Soap and Glory Puffy Eye Attack

I'm not completely sold on this eye cream yet. I haven't really noticed much of a difference, although it has made my under eye skin smother to the touch and my concealer is staying on nicely. I have found it to have practically no smell! It feels really light but almost watery. Soap and Glory's website list the ingredients and their uses as
• BOTANICAL SOY & RICE PEPTIDES & YEAST PROTEINS - proven to reduce dark circles and undereye puff/inflammation, and boost elasticity,microcirculation and collagen production
• OXYGINSENG™ TECHNOLOGY - an amazingly effective, organic, detoxifying ginseng-plus-caffeine complex that helps increase circulation and cell respiration (which then turns up blood supply and toxin removal), and also speeds oxygen and nutrient delivery to fight aging and re-energise skin
• PATENTED BIONYMPH PLANT PEPTIDES - to boost collagen production • PLUS-CAFFINE COMPLEX that increases circulation and cell respiration
I will do another review on this after a few weeks to see if I notice any change.

Schwartzkopf Got2b Glued Hairspray

I love this hair spray it's the best hold of all hair sprays I have tried. I use this when I back comb my hair to give amazing staying power. I bought two as they were only £3 and we go through a lot of these in my house!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Coconut & Exotic Tropical and Cheeky Cherry

As well as having oily skin I also have oily hair so dry shampoo is a must for me. I use it the day after I wash my hair so I get longer out of my blow dry. I love how it gives hair an instant refresh and volume! Being blonde the colour of the powder doesn't matter to much to me as it really doesn't make a difference to my colour :) I love the smell of the tropical one it just reminds me of being on holiday and the cherry scent is nice and sweet.

Coconut Body Oil

I bought this on a whim as I suffer from dermatitis on my knuckles so thought I would try this, turns out other than the amazing coconut smell I hate this. I hate oil on my skin so thinking back I have no idea what I was thinking!

So that's all the products I bought they were all purchased in boots store and can all be found online at www.boots.com
