Everyday skin care routine

It's has actually taken me so long to finally get to an everyday skin care routine that I'm actually happy with! I still don't have perfect skin, but it is a lot better than what it used to be before starting to use these products. 
Within a week of using these products I saw massive improvements. All of the redness completely went from my cheeks where I had blemishes. My forehead which was one if the main problem areas cleared up massively!! I now have a few blemishes left on my cheeks however day by day my skin is continuing to improve. 
I do the same routine both morning and night. 




Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam £15.50 


I use 2-3 pumps of this, it also works as a make up remover. 


Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion £17 


You have to shake this as there is talc in it also. I use a cotton wall pad to sweep this around my face avoiding the eye area. 

Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturizer £18.50 


This makes your skin feel soo soft. It also feels so light on the skin. 


Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel £14


They have changed the name and size of this since I purchased it however it is still the same thing. 
Now when I get a blemish which has reduced a lot more from what I used to be u dab a drop of this onto it morning and night until it has cleared. It normally takes around 2-3 days for the spot to clear. The thing I love about this is it also clears the annoying scars or redness you normally get after having a blemish. As you put it on it stings however I like that feeling as you know that it is really working! It's looks like a super small bottle however, at the begging I was using a lot of this morning and night and it didn't seem to be disappearing. 

These products may seem pricey however it really does work! I had testers of all the products before purchasing them and I saw massive improvements with 2-3 days so just had to go back and buy the full sized bottles. I actually can't go on enough at how much I love these products and how much they actually worked for me! 

Assistance:

When shopping at places like Clinique you have to go to a counter and normally are severed by one of their sales assistance. At places like MAC they are known for having snobby and unhelpful sales assistance so when ever going to one of their counters you know that is the assistance you are going to get. However at the Clinique counter in my hometown the woman could not have been more helpful! She gave me so many testers and honestly wanted to help me in the best way possible. When having good service you have a positive feel towards the brand, and due to the help I got when at my local Clinique counter I have a positive feel towards the brand as a whole. 

Sorry if this post was so long! I recommended the anti-blemish solution range soo much! Also sorry for these pictures as they are not the best.

Farm Shop Lunch

Last weekend was both my parents birthdays however we had a wedding all weekend so did not properly celebrate. Me and my sister decided that we wanted to do a small but cute surprise for them. I think I've said before where I live is not the best with shopping and places to go. However we do have a cute little farm shop cafe which do the best food! So we decided to take them there. 
Here are some pictures of what we had: 






Although we planned this pretty last minute they really enjoyed it!

Ebay Brushes

This is one of  the first times I've ever ordered off eBay and was soo happy with what I got! I've seen Velvet Ghost who's YouTube link is here always mentions these brushes and uses them in tutorials so thought I would look into them. They were soo cheap at £1.79 for the bigger brushes and £1 for the smaller ones! As they were so cheap I really didn't even high expectations for how they would be. But they are amazing and will be getting more.




This foundation brush is always compared to the real techniques brushes, however I don't think they are similar. I have the buffing brush and they are the same size however the eBay brush was less dense so didn't give the flawless finish the buffing brush gives but a natural finish that still covers everything that you would want it to. I love the finish that is gives and have used it pretty much everyday since getting it. 





Now I don't actually know why I got this brush, I think I ordered the wrong one, but I wouldn't recommend getting this particular brush. The other two brushes I have are so soft however due to the way these are set out they feel really scratchy. I have tried to use this for concealer but it just didn't work.  




There is two things that I use this brush from. Applying cream eye shadow bases like the maybelline colour tattoos. I also use this for applying concealer under my eyes and around my nose and it works perfectly for both.




I've washed this brushes quite a few times and they have all kept their shape and have not shed any hairs at all. The handles are also strong and do not feel like they are going to break at all. 

This brushes are from china, however its free delivery! I got an email telling me it would take around a month for them to arrive however they came in around a week.
