Skin care products

As we are growing up, we reach an age where we tend to break out and dislike our skin because of this. I started breaking out at around 11 years old and I'm still breaking out now. Firstly, to help my skin I used Clearasil and it was great as it was able to help my blackheads and pores. However, after a few more days of using it, it made my skin very dry. My skin is oily so it wasn't used to this product at all as it was the first product I used for my face or the ingredients in it caused my skin to have some sort of allergic reaction. Till now on, I haven't used it and I am not planning on using it again.

With my face, I tend to not use too much products as I believe my skin is not used to a few things so it I stayed clear to skin products and just washed my face when I wake up and when I go to bed and mosterizing it after with Nivea. Also, I often use Eskinol, which is a filipino toner  product for skin and it  removes pimples and removes excess oil to make my skin clean and fresh. I recommend that people use this as every day, we tend to get a lot of dirt on our faces with the humidity of certain places and because of the air, this toner refreshes my face and leaves my face very clean dirt free. Any other toner with Micro-cleanse Antil-Bacterial Formula will do this to your face very well.

I always always always have to remove my make up before going to bed! With taking of my make up, I usually use Natura facial wipes as it is good with removing waterproof mascara and contains vitamin E and helps moisturise the skin. I make sure I get all my make up off and then use my toner to take any excess dirt off. When I do not have make up wipes, I use water to get rid of my make up. This takes twice as long but it is better then leaving make up on while going to bed and knowing that my face is not clean and fresh.

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and Scandal Eyes Flex Mascara

REVIEW: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and Scandal Eyes Mascara

I bought these two products as an offer in Boots; they were buy one, get the cheapest half price on selected Rimmel products. The day after I bought them I went into Superdrug and found that they were cheaper in there as they were cheaper on individual products so be sure to look around for the best price if you decide to buy these products.

I had heard that these two products were amazing and when I found the offer I knew I had to buy it.

If I remember correctly, the price from boots were:

• Mascara: £6.99
• Foundation: £7.99

SCANDAL EYES FLEX MASCARA

To be absolutely honest, I really struggle to anything wrong with this mascara. I will first talk about the brush. As you can see from the above picture, it's massive. It is nice and smooth to apply and really darkens my lashes. I think it does both volumising and lengthening but it may focus more on the volumising side. You really don't have to use much as even one layer makes a huge difference but I like to apply 2 or 3 layers to make it really look great. It stays longer than other mascaras I've used  and I think it stays real voluptuous for about 3-4 hours and even after that it looks nice and bold. If I really had to be mean about it I would say that it's a little on the long side to dry but apart from that. I feel like this mascara is worth every penny. It's a brilliant mascara and rather cheap for something so good. I would definitely recommend this mascara to anyone. I is a definite must-buy!
  

WAKE ME UP FOUNDATION

I bought this after hearing many good things about it and I can say, it definitely lives up to my exceptions. It has a really good coverage and is quite light, it blends in well with my skin tone and Rimmel has a fairly wide range of colours for many skin tones. It says 'Anti-Fatigue Effect + Radiant Glow' and it really does live up to that standard. I love using it - especially in the morning - as it really does make me look less tired and just gives me a confidence-boosting glow that sets my day off to a good start. It has an SPF of 15 and if you have pale skin like me, it's good because you can wear it and don't have to worry too much about burning your skin. I like the packaging as it makes it looks classy and the pump means it's less messy than foundations where you just pour it out. It lasts quite a long time and you don't need a lot to get a nice coverage. I can't say how much I love this foundation and would recommend this to anyone! It is also a must buy!!

Overall: both of these products are amazing and I've been really impressed with Rimmel recently so if you can you should definitely buy them as you wont regret it!!
