Hi guys!
Hope you have all been well!
Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.
My mental health took a turn for the worse and I've been struggling for the last few months, luckily I am getting back to my good old self slowly but surely and I want to get back into my blogging as it cheers me up a lot!
I also have a new job, I start on Tuesday. It's only a part time admin assistant but it's what I have been looking to do for a while now. I'm so excited but also slightly petrified!
What else is new? Oh I went to Croatia with my boyfriend and my parents. It was amazing. Everyone should go. I went to a tiny village call Stobrec, but we went into Split most days. It is so gorgeous and so cheap. I never thought I'd be able to get beer for a pound!
I will be starting to do some more posts now, so hopefully that's something for you to all look forward to!
Look forward to reconnecting with everyone again! Wahoo!
Hi everyone!
Its been a little while, I have had a super busy week so I haven't really had the chance to post on here :( but I am back and I have more time now so yeah, lets get on!
I received a sample of the Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturising Lotion last week and I finally got round to using some over the last couple of days. This moisturiser claims to 'significantly improve the condition of dry skin in just 2 weeks', and I can completely see this working. It normally retails for about £5 for 300ml, which I feel is fairly reasonable for the quality.
I have used this only a couple of times and I can already feel the difference on my elbows and my knees especially. As soon as you put the lotion on, your skin feels smooth and hydrated. This product is also fragrance free, which for some may be off putting but I think some products can be overpowering so this is fine for me. The consistency is also really nice. It feels quite thick but it absorbs so quickly, so you don't have to wait for ages to get dressed after using it, which is great for people who are constantly in a rush like me!
I think, especially over the winter months, this lotion would be perfect for anyone struggling with dry skin. I have really dry, flaky patches on my arms and legs and anything that claims to be hydrating and smoothing is extremely appealing. As I have only recently heard of the Aveeno range, I would definitely get the full size bottle of this product (300ml) and try many of their other products.
A definite winter must have!
Hi guys,
Today's review is of the Sanctuary Replenishing Hydra Tonic.
I have owned this for some time now and only now have I finally got round to reviewing it! I bought this from Fragrance Direct for £5.99. This was a pretty reasonable price as it usually retails for around £10.99 at stores such as Boots.
This product appealed to me because I struggle with my skin due to its oiliness and sensitivity and moisturizers tend to make it worse. The product description however, made this product stand out to me:
This ultra-light gel lotion vanishes into skin leaving a refreshing, cooling sensation and instantly quenches thirsty skin. Wild lime helps to encourage cell renewal for a brighter, more even skin tone, and a revitalised, dewy finish.
I love products that make your skin feel refreshed so I automatically purchased it!
The first time I used this product I was unsure. It was really runny and I got it all over me (the squirter was slightly over generous!). However as soon as I put it on my skin I noticed a difference. My redness seemed reduced and my skin felt so smooth and clean.
I use this product every night before I go to bed and, at the moment, I wouldn't swap it for another product. My skin looks so much better and it really helps to minimize oily skin, which is a massive plus for me!
The price may be slightly higher than average, but the lotion (which comes in a 200ml bottle) lasts for ages because you barely have to use any. I still have 3/4 of a bottle left and I have owned it for about 3 months.
Have you tried this product? Are there any you could recommend?
