Skincare & Beauty Haul

Hi everyone,

I have been a little bit of shopping recently, but there's a bit of variety within this haul as I needed to grab a few essentials as well as trying out a few new products.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber & Green Tea (4 fl.oz)

I have heard quite a lot of positive reviews regarding the facial sprays from Mario Badescu over the years. So, I thought I would pick one up and give it a try. I decided to try the aloe, cucumber and green tea as it appealed to me the most.

Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel

This is one of my favourite cleansers that I tried years ago, and I have been wanting it back in my skincare routine for the past year. This cleanser has a lovely, fresh scent and it also provides the skin with a little bit of hydration.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir 30ml

I have decided to purchase another one of the Caudalie Beauty Elixirs due to its relaxing properties, as its filled with essential oils such as lavender and peppermint.

Pixi Glow Tonic

I've decided to purchase another Glow Tonic from Pixi despite it being a little hit and miss everytime I used it. But I was in need of some more glycolic acid, as I'm due to run out of my Alpha H and I was also in a pinch at the time.

Superdrug B Multi Acid Retexturising Pads

I ended purchasing these on whim while I browsing in Superdrug. These sounded really promising, and they do contain glycolic acid (which is right at the top of the ingredient list). If all goes well these could turn out to be a very budget friendly option for getting glycolic acid into your skincare routine.

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion

This was one of the essentials that I needed to purchase as my skin is in need of some TLC at the moment. I was using E45 to see if that would help, but it wasn't touching it. So, I decided to give Aveeno a whirl and this is working wonders for me at the moment.

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Hand Cream

I've used this hand cream in the past and this also works wonders for when my hands get cold and chapped. 

Marc Jacobs Le Creme Lipstick in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'

This has got to be one of favourite lipstick formulas, and the shade 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is my perfect rosy nude; which I seem to getting quite a collection recently. I just have to use up the mini lipstick I have of this before I start on this one.

Happy Skin Collagen Facial Sheet Mask

I've been wanting to try a collagen sheet mask ever since I came across them back in January. I originally wanted to try the one from Patchology, but they didn't have any in stock at the time; and this was the only one I could find at the time.

Ulimate Skincare Haul

Hi everyone,

I have managed to accumalate quite a few skincare products over the past couple of months, and I thought I would share these with you.

Pixi Glow Tonic
I decided to get this to use as part of my ance routine, and I will my using this once my current toner runs out. The Pixi Glow Tonic contains 5% glycolic acid and ginseng, and because this is a chemical exfoliator it should to clear out the pores during a breakout.

Pixi Overnight Glow Serum
This has become my serum of choice for my Sunday routine, as its quite intense. The Overnight Glow Serum contains 10% glycolic acid and cucumber. Due to this serum being so intense I can only use one drop of this, once a week.

Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner
I got this to use once my current toner from The Body Shop runs out, and also because I'm not quite ready to use my Elemis skincare; as I'm using my current cleanser.

Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Moisturiser
I thought I would give this a whirl as my night time moisturiser, once my current moisturiser has run out. I've got a good feeling this could work for me, as it has a very light texture and it is also meant to be extremely hydrating to the skin.

Ole Henrikson Walnut Complexion Scrub
I have decided I would give this a whirl on my Ocean Salt from Lush has run out. The Walnut Complexion Scrub is meant to be an abrasive manual exfoliator. Its also worth mentioning that this exfoliator froths up once water has been added to it, and it also has  a yummy scent as it smells like sweets.

Ole Henrikson Lift & Glow Gift Set (Christmas 2015)
This is an Ole Henrikson gift set from Christmas 2015, and it was to good of deal and I couldn't pass this up. Within the Lift & Glow gift set it comes with five decent size products to try and these are:-
- Ulimate Lift Eye Cream (day) 7ml
- Ulimate Lift Eye Gel (night) 7ml
- Pure Truth Melting Cleanser 30ml
- Sheer Transformation Moisturiser 30ml
- Truth Serum Collagen Booster 15ml

This gift set is extremely good value for money and you get to try products that you may not necessarily get round to trying, as well as giving you an impression of what the Ole Henrikson brand is like as a whole. If you can still get your hands on this gift set then I recommend that you buy it, if its something your interested in. But, if you cannot get your hands on this Ole Henrikson does offer various gift sets that are available all year round.
