Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a PRIMER

I am absolutely LOVING using this Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a Primer. I came across this thanks to Nikkie Tutorials who is an amazingly talented make up artist!

In her video she talks about how she had ran out of her primer and moisturiser and noticed that her boyfriend had this and  so decided to give it a try and  after using this it  makes her makeup last ALL day.

I have never really found a primer that I liked so I never use to prime. As this product is really cheap at £3.00 at Asda at the moment, there was no arguing that I was going to try it.

When using this it is very 'liquidy' as Nikkie states and comes out quite quick so you need to be careful! It also does smell like 'man' but that soon goes once it is absorbed into the skin. It applies nice and cool and on the box it says that it 'alleviates skin redness and dryness' and 'reduces skin sensitivity' and 'skin will feel comfortable and smooth' 

This definitely makes my make up last, it's amazing! I don't think I would not be able to not use this now. My skin also feels incredibly soft after using and my skin doesn't become so oily throughout the day. I also like the coolness it has, it is quite refreshing. My foundation looks really good and I notice a difference if I haven't used this.

For £3.00 you really cam't beat this and I recommend to give it a try if you can.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

I have so much love for this product! I actually doubted that the Effaclar Duo was going to work for me but it does and now everytime I look at it I have little hearts in my eyes lol!

At £15.99 from Boots it is a bit pricey but worth it!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo is an anti blemish gel like cream. It helps 'correct the appearance of imperfections, even skin texture and unclog pores and now it contains procerad which is an anti marks ingredient.' You apply it morning and/or evening on the whole face. I just tend to put it where I am prone to redness and blemishes. 

After 24 hours of using this your imperfections are  meant to look visibility less red and after 8 days localised imperfections appear significantly reduced and after 4 weeks pores look unclogged, skin texture more refined and controls the appearance of shine.

This all sounds absolutely amazing and it also has a 'clearer skin or your money back' offer at the moment. This has to mean that La Roche Posay are pretty confident this works!

La Roche Posay were right to be confident with this because I LOVE IT! I haven't enjoyed a product so much in a while! I have been using this for at least a month now and my skin has never looked better, it has reduced my redness and I havent even broke out in any spots!! Very rare for me! This can also be used as a make up base.

This doesnt look oily when applied to the skin and it absorbs well and is great for sensitive and acne prone skin.

If I had to rate this out of 10 it would be 10/10 because I cant find a fault. I cant emphasise enough how much I love it lol <3

Simple Soothing Facial Toner

First of all I would just like to apologize for the lack of posting from me lately. I'm really struggling to find time at the moment!

I have lots of different toners and cleansers but one I really like is the Simple soothing facial toner.  I have sensitive skin and problematic skin! And this doesn't seem to make my skin worse like one of my toners does and I think it makes it slightly better ....maybe.. or I just like to think that but its definitely not making it worse!

It has 3 simple goodness as Simple puts it which are:

'1 Vital Vitamin Pro Vitamin B5 restores, softens and smoothes.

2. Skin loving nutrients - Chamomile gently softens and sooths

                                      Witch hazel helps tones and tightens pores

                                       Allantoin softens and protects

3. No perfume, No colour no unnecessary or harsh chemicals.'

It comes in a 200ml bottle and is only £2.99! Bargain Baby! All I do is apply an amount to cotton wool and apply on the skin in the morning and at night. It also doesn't contain alcohol which I love!

This doesn't upset my skin and does leave it feeling nice and smooth and this is a nice facial toner. I am actually nearly empty with this bottle which is a rare thing for me with beauty products! I had never tried simple products before, my sister had their eye corrector pen which she likes so I did expect good things from this  and good things it was lol :)

Bioderma Sensibio AR Compact Anti Rougeurs

Hey guys, sorry I havent dont much posting this week but I have a stinking cold and havent felt up to it!

Anyway I wanted to do a quick post on this Bioderma Sensibio Compact I was sent by Farmaline. 

I love and I know a lot of people love Bioderma Cleanser so when I received this I was very excited! But then came the bad part.... unfortunately the colour I received was suitable for a more darker tone :( So I am unable to try this but I thought I would share with everyone what it does as I like the sound of it :)

The Bioderma Compact is a corrector for redness on the skin and is specially formulated for sensitive skin that is prone to redness. It helps to reduce the redness and even out complexion. I love the sound of this as I get quite red on my chin area from eczema so this sounds like it would be great to cover it! This is around £15.47.

Its really nice and creamy and it also protects from UV sun rays.  It has a mirror and comes with a sponge hidden underneath. 

I think this only comes in 2 shades which is light and dark. I would love to try the light but I would want to test it first to make sure it is light enough as I dont want to waste £15.00!
