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!

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...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
