Tried and Tested - Gallinée Skincare Review

 If you've read any of my previous blogs you will know by now I have a bit of a skincare obsession (I say a bit but it's becoming a problem) so I was over the moon when Gallinée decided to send me some of their products to review. This brand is incredible, their products are focused around prebitocs, probiotics and lactic acid, which are designed to nourish your skin's natural bacteria. There products also have the same pH as the skin so means there are no harsh chemicals and nothing to strong or acidic on the skin.

Cleansing Bar

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of bar soaps, I find they can be messy and sudsy and just become a general nightmare, but I loved this bar, I invested in a little soap dish and have had no problem with it. The bar also dries quick so doesn't get messy or too soapy. This is the only cleansing bar in my collection and I love it, I've been converted! I run the bar under water in between my hands and it forms such a good lather and foam and feels so calming and non - drying on the skin. My skin felt so soft and I have not stopped using this ever since. Huge thumbs up for this one.


Face Mask and Scrub
Scrubs scare me so much, I would say I get more scared of using a scrub than watching Nightmare On Elm Street alone in the dark. I just can't get past the idea of applying grit and sand to my face, but the one from Gallinée really surprised me as it felt so nourishing and didn't strip my skin, I prefer to use this alone as a scrub than a face mask as I think it just works better for my sensitive skin. But the biggest amazement was how this left my skin. My skin looked clear and had such a natural rosy, healthy glow after I'd used it! It is recommended for twice a week, but I use it once and find that works perfectly for my sensitive skin. Maybe I've conquered my fear!

Hydrating Face Cream
Face creams are my shizzle, I could buy every face cream in the world and still want to try more. The face cream from Gallinée is everything I want from a moisturiser - nourishing, check! moisturising, check! doesn't break me out, check! Makes my skin look glowing and luminous, check! check! check! This has become my gym bag staple, Because it absorbs so quick, I apply it before and after a gym session, as it keeps my skin so moisturised, but doesn't feel greasy. It does have a unique scent, which I did think was odd at first, but the more I applied it, the more I loved it and the slight smell of brown sugar is something I look forward to applying.

Hand Cream
Although by night I am a bit of an amateur beauty blogger, by day I am a musician, meaning my hands get really dry, hours of playing guitar in whatever the weather may be takes it's toll, so I love having a hand cream, well, to hand (sorry I couldn't resist). For me the main thing I look for in a hand cream is if it absorbs quick and if it moisturises my hands. This is perfect, It really does a heavy duty job of restoring my hands but doesn't linger or feel greasy, so I can just carry on playing my guitar and going about my day without having to wait for it to dry. So if you are looking for a hand cream that fulfils it's claims this one is definitely for you!

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...
