Long overdue is an empties post! I recently finished quite a lot of products (pat myself on the back) due to my online project pan (the one I've been sharing) and my personal project pan (the one I've set myself personally without sharing online). 

It so happens a lot of these products are some of my favourites and I definitely would like to share my flash review on each and every one of them!

It doesn't happen often that skincare becomes a focal point in here, not because I lack knowledge or experience with it, I just don't find it as exciting as makeup for an instance. But I've been told it changes with age so let's put that to the test! In 10 years time hopefully I'll still be writing here and possibly sharing more on the field of "how to prevent fine lines on your 30s"! 

For the time being I stick with a simple skincare regiment where the complexity of it is on the 10 different masks I use to do achieve different promised results but when it takes to the basics it only gets exciting when something new arrives to my collection. 

My idea for this post is to share 3 brands that I hear no one talk about and I absolutely love! And to add to the fun my number one product from each of them! 

Goldfaden MD is a new brand to me and one I don't hear much about! With natural based products this brand brings us incredible quick results in a pot, being their most popular product the Doctor's Scrub!

Today's focus is on the Facial Detox Clarifying + Clear Mask (58£), as it suggests, is one of those purifying formulas that you leave in your skin for about 10 minutes and it promises to suck the dirt out of your skin, leaving it renewed and purified. 

Dr Dennis Gross is a new brand to my sea of skincare, having not found my favourite cleanser yet I decided to give this one a go.

The All-In-One Cleanser With Toner (25£)  is, as the name suggests, a cleanser that will tone the skin while removing all impurities and makeup. It has a gel like consistency that emulsifies once water is added and feels really fresh on the skin. It doesn't need a cloth to be removed so is ideal for when in a rush or in the shower which I like the idea of. 

Skincare is something I had to get more into since I started my current job... I pretty much deal with it every single day and need to be up to date with the next life changing product coming to the shelves. 

With a lot of training and sampling I could finally put together a skincare regiment that is simple yet effective for my skin at this given time.

Glamglow is making a comeback... in a way! I've had the chance to try one of their masks in the past and even thou it felt nice I was not overly impressed with it. 

Today's instalment of Flash Reviews is a first impression on the Flashmud Brightening Treatment (39£) and I can tell you I've got some interesting facts about this beautiful pot!

This week's flash review is on the newly launched Omorovicza Midnight Radiance Mask (90£)! Everything I've tried from the brand I've loved so I knew I had to give this a shot first time I laid eyes on it!

I can't remember the last time I brought skincare to the blog, and since Summer is here what a better opportunity to do so.

Starting with my morning routine, as lazy as I can be, I always go for the easy way. I start off with Bioderma Micellar Water (10£) or any other brand, and go over with my moisturiser that is either the Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care (14,50£) or the Origins Gin-Zing Energy Boosting Moisturiser (24£). For the times my skin is not behaving as it should I pick the Vichy one since it combats blemishes, for other times my skin is alright or if the day is too warm I opt for the Origins option since it's refreshing and very light on the skin. I always finish with the Anthelios XL SPF50+ (20£) from  La Roche Posay. 

Skincare takes a huge part in women lives all over the world and what a better way to treat someone you love with products they will love?! Most of the skincare brands approach christmas the same way makeup brands do, with valuable gift sets that will give you the chance to gift more than one product without paying the price you had to if at other time of the year!  

Apologies from now for the lack of pictures I just couldn't find quality images of the products mentioned apart from the ones I own, in this case I'll be leaving a link, to the ones without image reference, to the Boots website as it's where I am basing the prices of.

Skincare changes every once in a while and since my skin has been through many fases, due to its combination complexion, I sure am always switching up products!

Late to the party, as always, The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil (11£) made its way to my routine and its going nowhere! 

I'm not one to buy a product for the hypes, I like to have my own opinions on things, mostly be prepared for the not so great points of it, this was no exception. When I first bought it I had in mind I would like to try a cleansing oil and this was on my list for a while so I gave in.

Looks like the Micellar world is transforming itself from water to gel like formulas and being the curious girl I am I couldn't pass without trying this product!

L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Gel is an eye makeup remover which claims to be gentle, soothing and refreshing on the skin. For what I've tried so far I can say it leaves to all the expectations here apart from being a bit weird at first! I like a good micellar water, I've tried Bioderma, Garnier, Simple and can say they all work well at removing most of the makeup from my face, even thou none removes it entirely. On the eye area I avoid Micellar Water as I find they don't take the eye makeup off completely and leave my eye skin a bit dry to be honest! It is for me the first time I try a gel like eye makeup remover and being it weird as it is it became a staple! It is one of the most gentle products I've ever tried and does its job properly! Waterproof mascara may be the only thing it takes longer to remove so in that case I go for my trusted Kiko duo phase makeup remover. Apart from that waterproof situation, it works amazing with any other product! Eyeshadow goes all in one cotton pad and eyeliner two the most, depending on how much you have on! It leaves the eye area hydrated with no oily film and doesn't irritate the skin. Packaging wise the plastic bottle is very handy and good for travel the only thing is when squeezed the product tends to be all over the lid so I advise you to be careful when taking it out to a cotton pad! 

Overall I've been enjoying this product and use it on a daily basis to remove my makeup, it for sure works better than a Micellar Water in this specific area. It comes for ~4£ which is not bad considering how long it will last and how well it works! I've been using this quite a lot and still have 95% of the product left!! Worth giving it a try if you're on a hunt for a new eye makeup remover!

Have you tried any Micellar Gel before?

Thanks for reading,

While back in the days the nose strips were my favourite thing but I noticed they were damaging my skin more than they should giving me no chance but try something else! As Summer is being generous to us in the UK I sure went for a rather refreshing product so on a trip to Boots I found my attention being pulled towards this particular bottle and for sure it did good things to me! 

Garnier Micellar Water £4.99

I'm quite sure you are all finding this post a waste of time as you read millions of reviews on this product but actually this one is quite new. As you can tell for the packaging Garnier redesigned the bottle of the so famous Micellar Water and I'm quite sure they reformulated the formula as well. Why do I think that? I tried the first one, everybody raved about. It was good but nothing special. It did remove my makeup but made my eyes a bit dry and left my skin uncomfortable after using that's why I never featured it in a post. It took me ages to finish the bottle and honestly I can't remember if I did it completely.

For the time I went to Superdrug and saw the new stand for this bottle of goodness in a quite good deal I decided to pick it up again. Who knows it would be a different story now and it was indeed. No longer it leaves my skin feeling uncomfortably dry or leave my eyes dehydrated. Removes all the makeup effortlessly, the reason behind my purchase, leaving my skin fresh and ready for the day/night. I can't assure you it was reformulated as I didn't find anything about it on Garnier's website but my experience with it went from not so good to a daily use product.

The fact they changed the bottle is great as I prefer this one much better so definitely I recommend trying this one if you already loved it or if you didn't find anything special still give it a go as it can surprise you. 

Have you tried Garnier Micellar Water?

Thans for reading,

For as long as I remember I've always been this lazy when it takes to skincare so my body is being neglected for at least 3 months. While summer is being generous in England I definitely pull out some dresses here and there but my legs, poor legs, look awfully dehydrated. With my hopes high I went to Boots looking for the perfect easy moisturising routine, or something of that kind and ended up with quite a few bits!

Mornings are always the hurry time for me and for what I checked last time I really like to sleep. It's no new that routines are never easy to keep up with so to make it work it has to be simple.
I start my morning washing my face and applying an eye cream to brighten the under eye area and to help me look more awake. The one I'm currently using is the Neroli Firming from SuperFacial by Úna Brenan. The next step is to apply my moisturizer that always varies from time to time. At the moment Effaclar Mat does the job, La Roche-Posay has been showing up a lot lately on skincare routines!
To finish and the most important thing I apply my sunscreen! I prefer the La Roche Posay Anthelios XL but my mom got me the Avène one this time so I have to use it up! I always opt for the 50+ protection and buy pharmacy brands.

As you can see my skincare routine in the morning is pretty small and easy to keep up with. Which products do you use on your daily skincare? I'm combination to oily skin if you have the same skin type share with me your favorite products :)
