*Ipsum Best Skin Enzyme MicroPolish: I have to be honest and say that I have only had this product for the last week or so but when it comes to things like cleansers and exfoliants, as I have used them for so long, I can practically know whether or not I will like them or not from the first use and with this product I knew immediately that it would be a firm favourite in my routine.

I use some sort of physical exfoliant every day mainly in the morning before I get into the shower and then I follow up with a gentle gel cleanser in the shower, this MicroPolish from Ipsum Skin is a rice powder-based exfoliant that is activated when mixed with water and uses a blend of AHA's and BHA's to dissolve away dead skin cells whilst the rice powder has a bit of a grit to it which works like a physical exfoliant to slough away dead skin cells which in turn help with skin texture and evenness. It also contains antioxidants which help to protect against daily stresses, antioxidants form a huge part of my skincare routine and I try to include them in my daily routine as much as possible.

I like this product especially as for my skin it is gentle enough to use on a daily basis and as my skin craves regular exfoliation this product makes it easy to do so, it has already helped to keep my skin texture even and all of the products I use after it absorbs better, therefore, they are working more efficiently.

I am so happy to have this product in my routine and I look forward to continuing use of it.

Societe Clear Skin Boosting Pads: I have had my eyes on these pads for a while now and finally bit the bullet and purchased them, and I am so glad that I did. I am a big fan of exfoliating pads and these ones I especially love as each pad is really well soaked in product meaning you get a good amount of product on your skin and they aren't too dry where they pull and tug at your skin.

They contain a blend of AHA's and BHA's as well as antioxidants that all help to exfoliate, even skin texture, brighten the skin and help with breakouts.

My skin has gotten along really well with these and they are a product that I know I will repurchase in the future, they are on the pricier side but in my opinion worth it and you also get 60 pads which last a long time, I tend to use them mostly on alternate nights to when I use a retinol.

Aesop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream: I speak a lot about a moisturiser just being a moisturiser on this site and that is the case with this product, I don't have a lot to say about it other than it just hydrates my skin nicely without leaving it feeling greasy and has a nice citrus scent.

When it comes to moisturiser in my routine, as I use quite active exfoliants and serums I am happy for my moisturiser to not have any frills and to just moisturise my skin and that's what this one does, to me it's also a decent price point for a luxury brand and as I am a fan of Aesop I enjoy having it in my routine.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter: This product has a lot of hype around it, to the point where I was refreshing my Mecca wishlist until my shade came back in stock, in saying that in my opinion, the hype is well worth it.

When I first got this product I was using it on top of my foundation as a highlighter and if I am being honest I didn't love it used that way but then I started using it all over my skin and that's when I realized what all the hype was about.

I have basically been using instead of foundation or tinted moisturiser when I want a more natural look, it's kind of hard to explain as the product doesn't offer coverage but it does almost blur your complexion and even it out slightly and of course give it an amazing glow.

As I mentioned above I have been using it on its own and then I just use concealer under my eyes and over any redness or blemishes and I really enjoy using it on a daily basis.

*The Quick Flick 2in1 Tinted Brow Lamination Gel and 2in1 Brow Pencil and Liner with Spoolie Brush: Brows are very important to me and my makeup routine, I am pretty lucky in terms of having full brows but they are very fair and mostly what I do is shape them and make them darker to suit my hair colour.

These two brow products are new to the Quick Flick range and I have loved them from the first use, to start off with I brush my brows up with the spoolie and then fill and shape with the pencil, ill then set that with the tinted brow gel and fill in any sparser areas with the brow liner.

I am very particular when it comes to my brow products but these two products have now become my favourites and once I find a brow product that I like I will stick with it and keep repurchasing and I will definitely be doing that with these two products.
