Let's FACE it, Elemis is amazing

Hey hey beauty queens! Here's my beauty blog number 2. I'm starting to get the hang of this... 

Recently I have purchased some new Elemis products and now they are my go to products every morning and evening. If you have oily, combination skin that's prone to blemishes... or skin that you wish was brighter, or firmer? Like you have just stepped off of Marie Claire magazine front cover? LOOK NO FURTHER I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR YOU *Evil laugh* Well. It's actually not evil. It's the secret to beautiful looking skin. Read on ;)

Oh Elemis... It's just amazing. Let me paint you a picture. You've been at work all day. Your make up is starting to slide off your face and your thinking gosh I need to take this make up off, get in your tracksuit, put my fluffy slippers on and watch Netflix all night. Am I right!? Ok maybe I am getting old, but you get the jist. The LAST thing you want to do is scrub on your face with a make up wipe (seriously, they do nothing for your skin but upset it!) You need some superstar products. You are worth it, as the adverts say.

Well, all you need to do is say hello to these bad boys....

Elemis Products

Hello my angels..... Ok where was I. Oh yes, my daily routine :)

First up we have mr Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser. This is my other holy grail product for taking off my make up. Seriously, it's brill. All you do is apply it OVER your full face of make-up, and it smells delicious by the way. The limited edition one I have is a rose smell. MMMM. It's luxurious. As it sinks into your skin, your make up simply melts away. It has neroli, fresh bergamot and cedarwood = comforting natural mediterranean ingredients. You can't argue with the mediterranean. It's beautiful.

This not only takes your make up off, but it defends againsts pollutants that have been toxing up your face all day long. I am aware 'toxing up' is not a scientific term, but just go with me here. It purifies the skin and leaves it feeling fresh as a daily. All your foundation, mascara etc has been removed. Now onto the next step...

The Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash. Some people might stop there, but not me. Must be obsessed. I love to double cleanse in an evening, to make sure my face is extremely clean before I put on my toner and night cream. This face wash is not your average face wash. It stimulates the skin's natural cell renewal cycle, actively smoothing and refining and taking away all the dead skin cells that make your skin appear dull. It's like an exfoliator, but a face wash. This is great for showing what beautiful, radiant skin you really have. It's a must product for me. I love it. I LOVE IT!!!

The Balancing Lavender Toner is an absolute one. It's gentle, smells absolutely amazing and helps tone and rebalance the skins pH level, without the use of any harsh alcohol or chemicals, it's all natural baby. Spritz this over your face, and you will feel like you are skipping through a meadow. Or wherever lavender is made!

Finally, I only have a small sample but I am off to buy the full product. Hydra-Balance Day Cream. It's light, airy and doesn't feel oily. It's great to wear as a base for your make up or under a primer. It sinks into the skin ever so smoothly, you don't even know it's there. It's like it's part of your face, your skins natural drink. Great for normal or combination skin. It's all about that balance.

And that's it folks. Elemis will always be one of my favourite brands. It must be good, they have it in all the spa's. It's pricey, but science is worth it. We don't want to risk it with our skin do we ladies, we have one face, one smile. Let's look after it. Work it.

Thanks for reading my blog. XOXO

Decléor Paris Micellar Oil = Miracle in a bottle

I just have to tell you about my new holy grail product to take off your make up in literally seconds! It's the Decléor Paris Micellar Oil. It. Is. Amazing. It dissolves all your make up in seconds. And I'm not just talking about a bit of blusher and lipgloss. I'm talking, the full foundation and 5 coats of mascara type of look! 

It is an oily consistency, which at first I was dubious about because I have quite oily skin. But you simply squirt a pea sized amount into the palm of your hand, and then apply it to your entire face, over all your make up. It smells gorgeous and you know that all the magic ingredients are melting away your make up and freeing your face from the heavy make up and dirt you have had on your face all day! Then this is when it gets really magical... You add a few drops of water and it turns into a milk-like liquid. You rinse it off and all your make up just falls away. No make up wipes, no scrubbing or waiting hours in the bathroom to get every bit of eyeliner off your face. Within 2 minutes my face was clean and clear. So happy with this product. It is a bit pricey, but you get so much (150ml) so I think it would last you a good few months. 

It states that it is suitable for all skin types, so even if you have combination or sensitive skin, it should be fine for you. And because it turns into a milky consistency, you only get that oily feeling for a second. It washes off clear like a soap. Cannot reccommend it enough :)

If you try it, please let me know what you think. Or comment below if you know of another great product that will make getting ready for bed at night time so much easier!

That's all for now. Thanks for reading my blog :). Xoxo
