Body Shop Haul... #teatree #oilyskin

My skin lately hasnt been at its greatest so I decided to take a trip to The Body Shop and get some Tea Tree products... I love using Tea Tree to control breakouts and oil.

They had a 3 for 2 offer so I invested in a scrub, body wash and face wipes.

I also got a free mini body cream when I signed up for their store rewards card.

Last night I used the wipes before going to bed, it did feel a lil tingly but it was ok it actually helped dry up a little spot I had on my forehead! This morning I woke up and it had dissappeared... I am about to go try the scrub and body wash now so I will report back in a few day to see how Im getting in with it...

Have an awesome Saturday! Muuaahhh

LIERAC Demaquillant Purete and Tonique Eclat

                                         MY SIMPLE SKIN CARE ROUTINE

I thought I would do a quick post regarding my skin care routine since I get asked alot what I use ...

My cleanser I use more as a face wash every morning in the shower... I love it!! its refreshing, and cleans away all my makeup including eye makeup...When Im out the shower, I then use my toner (which can also be used around the eye contour area), I then moisturize with my mattifying cream for normal/combination skin... All my skin care products are from a french skin care brand called LIERAC

I know you probably hear it alot, and Im about to repeat it, but! A GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINE MEANS BETTER MAKEUP APPLICATION AND DURABILITY... 

SO WHAT DO I USE? I've listed below the products...  

CLEANSE/FACE WASH - Lierac Demaquillant Purete (foaming cleansing gel)
TONER - Lierac Tonique Eclat (vitamin enriched toner)
MOISTURISER - Lierac Hydra-Chrono Refreshing Mattifying Fluid
EYE MAKEUP REMOVER - Lierac Diopti Demaq (gentle eye makeup remover gel)

Now I have to point out that apart from the eye makeup remover gel, the other products are for combination/oily type skin , if you have sensitive or dry skin, then I suggest to take a look at the other cleansers/toner/moisturizers that they have available on their website. Also, I know there is no eye cream, thats just out of pure laziness! because I do need one, but I choose to skip this step and just hide my circles with concealer... which is somewhat ironic, as Lierac do an eye cream for dark circles which is also tinted! meehh go figure... lol I do however, take care not to use my moisturiser near my eyes as using a cream around the eye contour area which isnt specifically for the eyes is what generally causes 'milia' and can also contribute to bags/pufiness...

LIERAC is a French premium brand which is the number one skin care product line in Italy, France and Portugal... but here in the UK its not very well known although some of the products from the Lierac skin care line has been featured in Glamour, Stylist and Vogue magazine, and is currently stocked in pharmacies, mainly in London as well as feelunique.com ... Lierac can also be purchased in the United States - they are on twitter! and other countries around the world, just check out the Lierac website to find out where.

Ok ladies... so this wasnt such a short post as I had first intended, but hopefully this will have intrigued you into checking out Lierac and for those who have asked me before or where wondering what I use, now you know! :)

happy cleansing... mmmuuuaahhhh JennJenn

LIERAC Eye Make Up Remover + VICHY Face Cream

I am always on the look out for new skin care, sometimes I find something great but then after a few months it just doesnt do it for me anymore... I think with Skin care you need to adapt to how your skin is at that current point... My never ending battle is with an over oily nose mainly and forhead... not quite T-Zone but almost. However, I have for the past few years now been using LIERAC Diopti Demaq (eye make up remover) for me its by far the best! I also purchase a few days ago some VICHY products which I am absolutely inlove with!

LIERAC Diopti Demaq

£12.00 for 100ml Tube

This takes away all my eye-make up without leaving a residue, it refreshes my eyes, and if i wanted to re-apply make-up I could, which is something you cant do with oil based make-up removers.

''Enriched with vitamin B5 and keratin derivatives, it helps prevent the loss of lashes and restore their strength, suppleness and thickness.''

I have a habit of picking off my mascara from my lashes! yes i know RANDOM! lol but I cant help it, so really I shud have no lashes! lol but seriously I think because of the Keratin derivatives and B5 my lashes are strong, and in very good condition :)

VICHY NORMADERM  Tri-Aactiv Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

£11.50 for 50ml  

I have quite a few blemishes, enlarged pores and a few scars from me being naughty and picking on my spots when I was a teenager! Although I dont suffer from acne or breakouts, occasionally I get a few spots here and there but the past few weeks maybe because of change in weather etc my skin has been really bad! I had heard good stuff about Vichy so off I went in search... I bought from Boots Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydratin Care and OMG!!! me facina!! que producto tan bueno!! seriously in literally one day my skin looked more clear! it totally dried up my few spots also... esta crema es recomendada para las edades entre 18 y 30 so if your younger than 18 I would recommend you use something from the Clean and Clear range since that helped me alot when I was in my teens, in particular the Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub.
