My Essential Fall Skincare Routine

Is that the smell of pumpkin?.. the sound of leaves under my feet?.. ahhhh my favourite season! I cannot get enough of fall! But with all the joys of darker nights and sweater weather comes the dreaded dry skin! As soon as October rolls around Boom!... Dry and flakey skin everywhere! So my summer skincare simply doesn't cut it and there are a few changes that help my dry skin!

For cleanser, I pretty much use my Kiehl's Calendula Face Wash all year round, it's just the perfect cleanser that works in all months! For serum, I actually use The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% and Zinc 1% solution, I tend to get more spots when my skin gets drier, so I find this helps keep them at bay and absorbs super quick!

I also switch up my moisturiser, from lightweight gel moisturisers to a thicker creamier formula! The Ordinary's Natural Moisturising Factors + HA has become a firm favourite, it's super thick formula that just soaks into my skin and leaves my skin feeling so soft and I could apply this all day! If I'm travelling Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is also a great moisturiser. I love this for travelling because I can use it on my hands, my arms, my legs, as-well as my face! I also love the Smashbox Primeriser for in the morning, It hydrates, preps and is a great all rounder for under makeup aswell as hydrating.

Another new product I have been loving is the A313 pommade. This is a vitamin A pomade that has a texture similar to vaseline! This can really help with acne and pigmentation and honestly a little goes a long way! I love this stuff and have really noticed a difference in my scarring and the overall texture of my skin.

For lip Balm, Lanolips is always a winner! It's thick balmy texture, leaves my lips so soft and stops them from cracking in the colder months. I have also been using the HASK hair masks, as my hair is crazy dry. The orchid and white truffle is my favourite! It leaves my hair feeling like I've been to the salon, I cannot her enough of this and it has really repaired my dry hair!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

July Empties

 Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through.  The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite.  My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...
