Skincare & Beauty Haul

Hi everyone,

I've recently done a little bit of beauty and skincare shopping, as I'm due to run out of a few skincare items and I also wanted to try some new products.

Pixi Rose Tonic

I'm currently using the Pixi Rose Tonic as part of my evening skincare routine, and I'm slowly working my way through my first full size bottle. I seem to be going through the bottle I'm using at a reasonable rate, so I thought it be a good idea to purchase a backup ready for when I run out.

Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Toner 5% Glycolic Acid

I decided to pick this up, as I wanted to try some more budget friendly glycolic acids to see how well they compare to ones from Alpha H and Pixi. I only paid around £5 for this large bottle from Superdrug, which is really good value for money (if it works), as I'm used to paying between £18-£30 for glycolic acid.

Estee Lauder Daywear Eye Cooling Antioxidant Moisture Gel Creme

I'm getting in need of new eye cream to use as part of my morning skincare routine, and I fancied trying something different. I've never used anything from the Estee Lauder Daywear skincare range before, so this is completely new to me. But I have heard some really nice things about this eye cream.

Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate

The Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate is now a staple in my morning skincare routine, and I use this every morning. I'm currently about half way through my current bottle, so I thought I would purchase another one so then I have one on hand for when I run out.

MAC Blusher in 'Melba'

I've been intrigued by blushers from MAC for a long time, but I have never actually purchased one. I decided on the shade 'Melba', as its a lovely neutral peach, which is something I don't have in my make up collection. I'm not too sure what MAC are doing with the blushes, but when I was buying this from the website it was discounted. So, I'm not too sure if they are reformulating the blushes or discontinuing certain shades.

MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in 'Stylishly Merry' (Xmas Limited Edition)

I have been trying to get my hands on this eyeshadow from MAC for around three to four years, and never had any luck until now. Yes, this is a limited edition eyeshadow from MAC, but fear not if you want to get your hands on it as MAC have been bringing out the 'Stylishly Merry' every Christmas ever since they released it.

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.
