Elizabeths Annes & Purity Baby Shampoo

Hello Pretty Ladies
 
So I finished my second Youtube Video on my current Beauty Favourites and I actually wanted to give you guys better information about Elizabath Annes Baby Shampoo that I have recently been using as facewash.
 
I am absolutley obsessed with this Baby shampoo. As I have said so many times in my previous posts, I have very oily and sensitive skin, I always have to moisturize because I find when ever I wash my face it tends to feel so tight but then gets extremely oily after a while.
 
Because this product is formulated specifically for babies it is very gentle on skin and also soap free so if you get some in your eye while washing your face it doesnt burn. It doesnt irritate skin but instead it leaves the skin soft, moisturized and clean.
 I dont have to use as much moisterizer anymore because this baby shampoo is so moisterizing already.
 
I love the fact that this Shampoo doesnt foam because this makes it more gentle on the skin because with normal facewashes they tend to contain a type of cleaning agent that stips away any oil from your skin, leaving it without its protective layer of oil. You actually need some oil to be left on your skin for moisture. If you stip all the oils from you skin it will cause more breakouts because your skin is then producing more oil than it should to try and moisterize the skin again.
 
So once I Started using Elizabeths Annes Baby Shampoo I didnt get half as much breakouts and my
skin is feeling soft and moisterized.
I would recommend this product to anyone willing to give it a try.
 
Please check out my Youtube Video and feel free to leave me a comment and subscribe.
 
I hope this helps

Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation Review!!!

Hello Lovely Ladies.
 
The product I would like to talk about today is Rimmel London Lasting finish 25 Hour Foundation.
 
As I have said in many of my previous posts I have always been a big fan of Almay skin stays clean foundation but I thought I would give another foundation a try since they are no longer making "Almay Skin Stays Clean Foundation".
 
The Rimmel London 25 hour foundation is fantastic, obviously it does not last for 25 hours but it does last up to about 8 - 10 hours and the coverage is great, I would say it give a medium to full coverage and once the foundation has dried it gives a matte look which is perfect for people with oily skin. The foundation is very thick which I like as well because you apply a little and it goes a long way. It spreads easily throughout your whole face. It aslo lasts in humidity and heat which is perfect for those boiling hot summer day.
 
When the foundation is applied it feels very light and airy. I love the fact that it has a pump to pump out the foundation instead of squeezing a tube, this helps to use less foundation and not waist and it has a little fragrance which I really enjoy.
 
I have always been hesitant to try other foudnations because Almay has always been such an amazing product but all I can say is that I love this product and I will definatley be buying it again.
 
Hope this helps
xoxo

8 Beauty Items you should never run out of.

Hello Ladies :)
 
Well all run out of Beauty products but there are 8 items that I make sure I always top up on if they are running low. These are the products and items that I literally use every single day and always make sure that I have in my handbag.
 
1. Ear Buds: These can be used for literally anything, from removing makeup,smudged eyeliner or it can be used to clean up your nails once you have painted them.
 
2. Vaseline: This product I use every day. It can be used to moisterize your lips, rub on your nails for moisture or you can apply it to your eyelids for a glowing look.
 
3. Black Mascara: Mascara is a must. It just glams up your face, or you can use it to darken your eyebrows of you dont have a brow pencil near by. Please make sure that you discard your mascara after 3 months because if you keep it and use it after it has started smelling and clumping you can get an eye infection due to the bacteria buildup.
 
4. A vail of perfume: Always keep a small bottle of perfume in your handbag. A spritz of perfume after a day at work will freshen you up if you are going out straight after work. I personally think every woman should have a perfume that compliments her. To me it acts like your signature smell. There is nothing more stunning than a girl that smells classy and beautiful.
 
5. Wet Wipes: Wet Wipes are so handy when you are in a rush and wanting to take your makeup off to reapply it again. They are perfect for those nights when you get home really late and you dont feel like washing your face, you can just wipe away your makeup, apply moisterizer and go to bed. Wet wipes have an expiry date so please use before they go off.
 
6. Saftey Pins: These are a must have, just incase your bra snaps, broken jewellery or any kind of emergency. I always keep different sizes in all my handbags because I am forever using different handbags for different occasions. Always be prepared for anything that could happen.
 
7. Sunblock: If you have those days where you do something you didnt plan on doing like going to the beach in the middle of the day or going for a walk on your lunch break then make sure you always have sunscreen in your hand bag. You dont want to get sunburnt,suffer from skin discolouration or anything harmful that the sun can do to your skin.
 
8. Baby Powder: Baby Powder has so many uses. It can be used to sooth sunburn, razor burn and it can be used as a dry shampoo. The great thing about Baby Powder is that it never expires so you can stock up without worrying about it expiring.
 
Be prepared ladies, you never know what life can through at us.
Hope this helps

Exfoliating Tips for smooth and soft skin.

Hello Beautiful ladies :)
 
Exfoliating is a very important part of a persons regime not only for your face but also for your body.
 
There are many benefits from exfoliating like getting rid of dead, dull and flaky skin cells which will allow new skin cells to surface. This will give your skin a stunning glow but it also allows the products you use to be better absorbed into your skin and work to their full potential.
Exfoliating helps fight damage done by the sun and minimise fine lines and blemishes.
 
I would recommend choosing a scrub that has round beeds instead of the rough kernels because those can harm your skin because they are to rough. You want to find a scrub that works perfectly for your skin. I perfer using fruity type of exfoliater because when they are used, they naturally dissolve dead skin cells without harming or aggravating your skin.
 
When you exfoliate your body, you want to use coarser scrubs. This will help with removing rough skin and in-grown hairs. It will also give your skin a soft, smooth feel. I recommend moisterizing after you exfoliate just to make sure your body has gotten that extra nourishment. Alot of people tend to forget about their knees, ankles and elbows so you need to make sure you give those areas extra attention.
 
Alot of people never know when to exfoliate their skin. Some do it every day, others exfoliate once a week but I would recommend exfoliating twice a week. This will give your skin time to breath and repair itself.
 
I use Garnier Light exfoliating scrub because I have sensitive skin and this product works perfectly for me. Its gentle but it also does the job. I would recommend this product for anyone that is willing to give it a try. You wont be disappointed.
