*Fenty Skin Total Cleans'R Remove It All Cleanser:
I was recently sent some Fenty Skin products to try and like how I always trial products I instantly started trialing the cleanser, cleanser is one of my favourite products to trial as I know from pretty much the first use whether or not I will like it or not.
I have an oily-combination skin type and this cleanser has worked really well for my skin, you only need a very small amount as once mixed with water it lathers up, whilst it does foam it has never left my skin feeling dry or stripped after using it.
I like quite a thorough cleanse and this product gives me that whilst still being gentle on my skin, I don't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis but I do wear a little bit and this does a really good job of removing it at the end of the day, I like it as a morning cleanse just as much as I do at night as part of a double cleanse routine.
I always love trying new cleansers and this one has made a great addition to my skincare routine.
Perricone MD Blemish Relief Calming Treatment & Hydrator:
As I am someone who has dealt with breakouts for longer than half my life, I am always looking for ways to incorporate various different products and ingredients into my skincare routine to help combat the issue, I have been using this serum after I cleanse and tone in the mornings and I have been really enjoying it.
It's super lightweight and immediately absorbs into my skin, it contains a blend of Lactic and Succinic Acids which work to exfoliate and help to reduce blemishes and blemish-causing bacteria alongside Squalane for hydration.
I love how gentle this product is on my skin, my skin can sometimes be on the sensitive side, and whilst this does a great job of keeping my breakouts at bay it never feels like its stripping or too harsh for my skin, I have actually used a few of the products in this same range from the brand and have loved everything I have tried.
*Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum:
When it comes to my morning skincare routine I always like to include a Vitamin C serum after I cleanse and tone, one of my current favourites is this one from Murad. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant that protects against environmental stresses and free radicals whilst also helping to brighten the skin, this serum also contains Glycolic Acid that helps to exfoliate and help the Vitamin C and the other products in your routine absorb better.
I love how this serum combines the benefits of antioxidants whilst giving my skin a nice hit of exfoliation, exfoliation forms a huge part of my routine and I love how this serum has helped with the overall texture and tone of my skin.
It has really helped to keep the overall texture and tone of my skin even, it absorbs well into my skin and sits beautifully with my other products.
*Editors note: When using any sort of exfoliating products it's always important to wear sun protection on a daily basis to protect your skin.
*It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF 50:
This is one of those products where every single time I wear it I am always blown away by how good it is, even though I have been staying home a lot lately I still like to wear a little bit of makeup on a daily basis to perk myself up a bit.
I go through phases with base products, sometimes I like a heavier fuller coverage base and sometimes I like a lighter base, the thing I love most about this product is that it works for whatever type of coverage I want. I can build it up to a medium to full coverage or use a small amount sheered out for a lighter base.
It does a really good job of evening out my skin tone, any redness or breakouts that I have going on as well as my pigmentation. Another thing I love about this product is that whilst I am getting a good amount of coverage it contains a whole host of skincare ingredients, it contains a blend of Hydrolyzed Collagen, Peptides, Niacin, Hyaluronic Acid alongside Vitamins and Antioxidants.
I couldn't even tell you how many tubes of this I have been through over the years and it will always remain to be a staple in my beauty routine.
Zara has recently expanded their beauty offering and whilst I have always been a huge fan of their fragrances, I was very keen to get my hands on some of their makeup products. I have been using this palette which contains a bronzer, blush, and highlighter and I am truly obsessed with it, sometimes it's hard with palettes in the way that you might not like every shade that's in it but with this product, I love all three shades.
The bronzer is quite warm and is very light but can be easily built up, the blush is a natural pink flush, and the highlighter whilst it has a golden tone to it in the pan once applied to my skin gives a beautiful natural shine without being too glittery or too sparkly.
I have been using the three shades on top of my foundation or tinted moisturiser on a daily basis and love how they look together, the product is refillable and I can already see myself topping up when it runs out.
