Tried & Tested - Milk Makeup Charcoal Cleanser

The Milk Charcoal cleanser wasn't something I had on my wish list or had even heard much about, but when my eyes locked onto it in T.K. Maxx, I knew it was mine. I've heard a lot about Milk Makeup but not so much about their skincare, so thought I'd share my thoughts on the product.

The cleanser comes in a really sleek and mess free tube. I love a tube as they rarely get dirty and I just find the whole process a lot less messy than trying to get a cleanser out of a tub or a pump, so extra brownie points for that!

Now onto the cleanser itself... The formula has a thick, jelly consistency to it and lathers up really nicely when wet. The cleanser is black but goes on clear, so doesn't leave any kind of colour residue behind. It feels so amazing when I wash my face with this product. It's a really deep cleansing face wash that feels like it's really getting into my skin and purifying it, as oppose to just gracing over the top layer of my skin without really doing anything. I've been using this for about two weeks now and really see a difference in my skin. I have dry acne prone skin and can say my acne scarring has reduced significantly, my skin has just looked so much more glowing and hydrated and plump, it's become a wonder product to me. I think this will be great for all skin types, as it's not too drying or too hydrating but just feels purifying.

One issue I have with the product is that it's really easy to over use and squeeze out to much and then I just get all sad about the product I'll never get back. The next issue is, the product is amazing, yet the stock in T.K.Maxx is always unreliable and I'm already panicking about running out and not being able to buy it again, so I will have to stock up when I see it. But this is just me being picky and playing devils advocate. So overall a really greater product!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out. The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed. I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash. If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
