Samarité Skincare Review - 1 Month Update

Samarité kindly sent over some of their products* for me to try last month and I thought I would give a 1 month update. I love nothing more than being able to fully test a product before writing a final review, so over the past month I've incorporated these products into my AM and PM skincare routine.

The first product Samatiré sent over was the Divine Elixir. This is probably my favourite product from the collection. It's a really lovely lightweight elixir, that performs and feels like an essence. One thing I love about this is how quickly it absorbs into my skin. It's not greasy or oily, so is perfect as part of my AM and PM skincare routine. Since using this, I have found my skin is glowing and I mean glowing... I've ditched highlighter completely since using this. My skin looks like I've just had a facial every time I use this, my skin is juicy, plump and super hydrated.

- The only con is the shelf life is 6 months, which isn't that long for a product of this size. So I would only purchase this if you are thinking of using it in your AM and PM routine.

The second product is the Divine Cream. This is recommended for people with dry skin and Rosacea. As someone with dry skin, I often find thick creams border on greasy, but this is perfect. It's a rich, thick cream that is perfect for winter and anyone suffering dry skin. It leaves my skin glowing and I love that this product doubles up as an eye cream. I think this is perfect for anyone wanting a little skin TLC over winter, no matter what skin type.

The third product is the Supreme Balm. This is a kind of multi-purpose product. If you're a fan of Weleda Skin food or Egyptian Magic Cream you'll love this. I love using this on specific areas I have dry skin. My chin, my elbows, my knees. It is a little on the oily side so if you're not into those kind of products, I would stick to the Divine Cream.

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...
