Whats on my face

Hey guys :) So todays post I thought I would share with you what I currently wear on my face. Its been so hot and humid in the UK lately that I dont like wearing much make up! But I have to wear something because I dont want to scare people lol!

1. Maybelline Pure BB Cream - I am really enjoying the fact that I can now get away wearing BB cream (thank you skin!) I bought this a while back but never used it because my skin wasnt great but as my skin has improved I thought Id give it a go as I find it too hot to wear foundation. This one is suitable for oily skin and contains Salicylic Acid and has an SPF15. It gives a nice light coverage and lasts well however I do find I have to powder a fair bit as it makes my skin look very shiny! But for the price of £6.99 it isnt bad at all.

2. Rimmel Wake me up Concealer -  This is a great full coverage concealer and is great for covering dark circles and only costs £5.49.

3.Soap and Glory Supercat - I absolutely love this eyeliner as it is so easy to use! Its great for creating flicks because its shaped like a pen. It lasts well but I do find I have to go over with my Rimmel eyeliner too for a darker colour. £6.00.

4. Revlon Matte Balm - I have this in the shade Elusive and its my all time favourite shade because its a pretty natural pink colour. I love the look of matte balms and its only £7.99.

5.Soap and Glory Love at First Blush - This is a great colour wheel of 4 different shades of pinky blushers plus a white. I just use my brush all over them for a nice natural colour. £11.00

6. Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot - As I said the Maybelline BB Cream makes my face look quite shiny so to prevent that I use this which is fab and helps it stay longer too. £11.00.

What make up do you like to wear when its really hot?

He-Shi Tan

For such a long time now I have been looking for a great self tanner that doesnt leave me looking orange (I'm very pale!) I saw that Pixiwoo put on Instagram  a He-Shi tanner. Then after doing some research as I hadn't heard of this brand before I found that He-Shi has loads of great reviews I gave in and bought some to try!

This is now my favourite self tanner! I even got my friend to try some and within a couple of days I bought another one to try! The two I bought were the Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan and the Face and Body Tanning Gel .

Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan is £22.50 for 150ml and can be used all over the body. This is the first tanner I bought off He-Shi and loved it instantly. As the name suggest it gives a nice colour in just an hour and if you want a deeper tan you just leave it on longer the deeper you want. This lasts between 7-10 days but I have found mine lasts longer! The great thing about both these tans is that you can see where you are applying it and if you miss anywhere which is what I need in a tanner as Im good at missing places lol. It dries quickly and I just love the finished result as for me its not over dark or looks fake and it gives a nice glow which is what I wanted. It also doesnt smell! You dont moisturise before applying and make sure to exfoliate, I also bought the He-Shi tanning mitt to apply and its the best mitt ive ever used! 

Key ingredients are:

'Ecocert approved DHA (active tanning ingredient). By using organic DHA our products are now more natural than ever.

Pentavitin (Moisture lock tecnhology) for results lasting up to 10 days.

Added primarily for its moisture retention, regulating and binding properties. Protects dry skin against symptoms such as brittleness, roughness, unevenness, faintness and itching

Clinically proven – tests have shown that PENTAVITIN improved hydration of the skin by up to 40% '

After loving the He-Shi Rapid 1 Hour so much I went and bought the He-Shi Face and Body tanning gel this is £17.50 for 150ml. This is ideal for people who have dry skin but I bought this to use mainly on my face as it can be used as a foundation. This again is non scented and lasts for 7-10 days, I used this first on my legs to see what the colour was like because I didn't want to risk my face going wrong! I found this to me turns out darker then the Rapid 1 hour so I haven't used it on my face as of yet but don't get me wrong its still a fantastic golden glow colour! You leave this one of for 6-8 hours. It does glide onto the skin as they state and it does feel moisturised after use. I tend to use this one mainly for my legs.

Key Ingredients:

'Ecocert approved DHA (active tanning ingredient).  By using organic DHA our products are now more natural than ever.

Pentavitin (Moisture lock tecnhology) for results lasting up to 10 days.  Added primarily for its moisture retention, regulating and binding properties.  Protects dry skin against symptoms such as brittleness, roughness, unevenness, faintness and itching

Clinically proven – tests have shown that PENTAVITIN improved hydration of the skin by up to 40%

Isopentyldiol also works alongside Pentavitin. Primarily for its moisture retention – helping to maintain high moisture content in the skin

Clinically proven – tests have shown a 110% increase in moisture content 5 minutes after application'

  

I really love this He-Shi tan as it gives a fab golden glow and not an orange look. The price isnt too bad as I still have lots left as you don't need too much, I just really cant recommend this enough!

P.s The photos I took of my arm and legs dont give it much justice lol!

Sexy Mother Blusher - Soap and Glory

I am not sure if you guys have picked up on this yet but I am really loving the Soap and Glory make up range ;)

I bought this Sexy Mother Blusher as I wanted a new blusher and because I thought the packaging was different so this little one caught my eye. This is £9.00 from Boots which I have to say for me the price is expensive for a blusher but if they have a 3 for 2 on maybe this could be the free one?

This comes in 3 shades - Pinker Belle, Berry Jamm and Onomatopeacha . I bought this in Pinker Belle because it was the shade I much preferred out of the 3. Its a cream blusher and is meant to 'glide effortlessly onto the cheeks with intense colour and a creamy finish.'

I dont put this directly onto my face as knowing me I would put too much on and become a clown! So instead I put a bit on the back of my hand and rub it on with my fingers. It goes on like a treat and lasts great too and Pinker Belle is a great shade for me.

I am a big lover of Soap and Glory Love at First Blush which I use on a daily basis! You can find that here  and this Sexy Mother Blusher is a great cream blusher!  I am very impressed with the Soap and Glory range and find myself trying more and more of their products.

Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash

I bought this in my local Tesco's garage as I needed to get a face wash for when I went away. I didnt have enough time to pop into town and the Tesco's garage was my last hope. Now in this Tesco's they didnt have my usual face wash and only stocked 2 different brands! I opted for this one because it was oil free. 

This is one of them products I didn't think much of but actually turns out I really love it!

I find it very hard for me to find a nice face wash that doesn't upset my skin and what not. I had been using the Garnier Charcoal Face Wash for the Charcoal to help fight against the ol acne and before that clearasil as it didnt make my skin breakout.

As you can see this contains gentle microbeads and this is 'formulated to effectively remove dirt, oil and dead skin cells that can block pores and lead to spots and blackheads. This will leave skin beautifully smooth and clear.'

I love the price of this as its only £3.00 at Tesco's and also can be bought pretty much anywhere. Boots is currently selling it for £2.78.   I also love that its oil free and gentle. My skin is looking great at the moment with this and it feels nice, refreshed and clean after I have used it and doesn't cause breakouts.

If you're looking for a nice cheap face wash then this is really great!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water £3.99 for 400ml=200 uses, is my favourite cleanser since Bioderma! I much prefer this to the Loreal one.

Garnier states that this is any easy way to remove make up and that you do not need to rub.
Its great for sensitive skin  and doesnt contain perfume. It does have a nice faint sweet smell though. The Micellar technology is 'like a magnet and the cleansing agents capture and lift away dirt from the skin'. it also hydrates whilst cleansing.

I have been using this for a good time now, way over a month and my skin feels great after using this and it lifts make up away straight away. My skin is left feeling soft and cleansed and it has lasted me for ages and £3.99 is a great price!

That was a short and sweet post lol!

3. Rehydrating Eyedrops- Im a contact lense wearer and my eyes dry out ALOT so carrying these with me is essential.  They make my eyes feel amazing!

4. Phone - Can not leave the house without this! I feel lost if I do...

5. Glasses case - I have to carry my glasses and contact lense pot around with me incase I need to change them for some reason.

6. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen - I always have these never know when a headache might appear etc.

7. Soap and Glory Body Spritz- I like to have a perfume or spray with me,  cant be smelling bad lol

8. Extra White gum- I always have to have gum before I leave anywhere and I always like to carry it with me to keep nice minty fresh breath lol!

So I hope you enjoyed reading whats in my bag, I am sorry its not more interesting!
