Lush skin care products for oily/combination skin!

Hello once again,
Today I am going to be doing a post on some lush products for oily/combination skin and give you an insight on how to use them! 

The products that I'm going to post about have been designed for the needs of oily/combination skin and will make up a skincare routine.

First of all the most important thing is to clean your face and to do this I recommend using 'Angels on bare skin'. This product contains 'Kaolin'-which absorbs grease and dirt and 'Lavender'- to calm the skin. This product is £6.40 for 100g or £16 for 250g and leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh.

After I recommend scrubbing your face with 'ocean salt' a face and body scrub. This product contains 'avocado butter, coconut oil and seaweed absolute'- keeping skin soft and smooth and 'seasalt'- which is rich in minerals. It costs £13.25 a pot which is quite a lot but I found this product really effective at removing dry, patchy skin.

Next I would use a face mask to help clean, calm and clear the skin, a good one from lush for oily/combination skin is the 'mask of magaminty'. This product contains 'peppermint oil'- to stimulate and  'marigold' and 'chlorophyllin'- to treat the skin. This product costs £5.25 for a small pot or £9.25 for a large pot. I really enjoy using this product as it's really refreshing and is self preserving and lasts longer than the fresh face masks!

Once I have washed off the face mask, I like to pat my face dry then apply some moisturiser. One that I have been enjoying is 'imperialis' as after the oils have been removed from my face by the others I don't want to put oil back into my face and this product is just right for that! It costs £12.95 for 45g which is pricy and the smell isn't the best but this is a really nice product and I would defiantly recommend! 

 To finish off my skincare routine when I have spots and blemishes, I think 'grease lightning' to help clear them up. This product 

contains 'rosemary', 'thyme', 'antioxidant witchhazel' and 'tea-tree'- as they are all antibacterial. This product costs £6.25 each and only comes in one size. It is in a clear, jelly like form which is easy to apply but is begs applied before the spot has fully appeared if possible!

All of these products are available In store or online at Lush and if you ask in store or online when ordering something for a sample of a product you would like to try they are almost always happy to give you a sample to try to see if you like it first!

Batiste Pixie Lott dry shampoo | Review

Pixie Lott & Batiste have teamed up to create this fabulous dry shampoo, combining Batiste’s award winning formula with a design & fragrance inspired by Pixie herself. 
This dry shampoo is £2.99 for 200ml which is a reasonable price and is so easy to use in just three easy steps...
1. Shake can vigorously and spray onto the roots, keeping the nozzle  30cm from hair.
2. Massage through with fingertips.
3. Brush hair and style as desired!

After testing this product a few times, I have decided that I have found it refreshing and effective. It has helped remove excess oil from my hair in between washes and add life back into my hair! 

Personally I wouldn't say this is the best scent in the batiste range but it's still a great product from batiste!
The only problem I have really found with this product, is that it leaves my room very dusty after using it but this doesn't really affect how great the product is!

I recommend this and other products in the batiste range as a refreshment for your hair in between washes and it can be bought from many drugstores!

Three Foundations | Reviews

Hello again!

Today I thought I would post a foundation review as over a space of time I have bought three different foundations to try as I would like to find one that I like and suits my skin! 

I am one of those people who start using a product but never finish it as I have bought a new one that I want to try! 

The first foundation I have is the Maybelline ' Super Stay Better skin' foundation in the colour 005 light beige. The price of this foundation is £8.99 and can be bought from Superdrug or Boots.
On the bottle there are claims that the product 'Evens skin tone instantly' and 'Better looking skin in 3 weeks'.
After using this foundation for the first time, I did notice my skin looked smoother and more even. Although I can't say that it made my skin look better after 3 weeks.
I like the coverage of this foundation as it covers any spots I have  but leaves my skin slightly shiny and doesn't last all day, this could be because the bottle does state 'normal skin' but I have combination/oily.

The next foundation I have is the Rimmel 'Match perfection' in the colour 100 ivory. The foundation is £6.99 and can be bought

from Superdrug and Boots. 

This foundation states 'Traceless coverage with advanced smart tone technology for perfectly flawless skin under any light'. 

With this foundation I have noticed that in some lights it looks perfect for my skin tone but in others it looks a little orange, however I love the coverage and has quite a nice smell to it and have found that it does last for most of the day!

The last foundation I have is the Collection 'Lasting perfection foundation in the colour 1 porcelain. The foundation is £5.99 and can also be bought from Superdrug and Boots. 

This product doesn't have any big claims but does state that it 'lasts up to 16 hours', 'flawless coverage' and 'minimises imperfections'. I really wanted to like this product as I thought it was going to be really good, I used it a couple of times before realising that the colour was way too dark for my skin tone! Even though the colour that I have is the lightest that they do in this foundation I could only wear this after I had a spray tan which was disappointing so won't be buying again unfortunately!

All of these foundations have a pump applicator which I find really handy and all contain 30ml of the product. 

What foundation do you like to use?
