Daily Prep/ Skincare Routine


Hey everyone!


Here's a little collection of the things i use daily in preparation for
a day of make up.
Neal's Yard Power Berry Daily Moisture (Far right)
"Boosts radiance and protects YOUTHFUL SKIN'

Can be purchased here

£23.75 for 100ml

I got mine free in Glamour magazine a couple of months ago, but planning on purchasing when used up. Its so lovely, I've tried a lot of moisturisers  and none of them have worked as well as this one. It has a light Rose scent to it which smells really fresh. Consistency is very light and not oily feeling at all. I suffer from acne and combination skin, this doesn't affect my acne and does a good job of balancing out my skin. Skin feels clean and soft and smooth after use. This also goes a long way!



Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose (Far left)
Can be purchased here

£2.10
I received this as a gift for Christmas in a set of two tins and two lip balm sticks. This one is by far my favourite! It has an amazing smell that reminds me of Moam sweets and softens lips very quickly. Not sticky and easy to apply lip products over. Cute pink colour and very compact.


Mac Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage (bottom middle)
"
Calms and soothes the skin, blots away excess oil, and evens out skin redness. Improves the laydown and application of foundation or powder."

Can be purchased here


£20.50 for 30ml
I got this 6ml sample free with a MAC Cosmetics order. I was planning on buying the Benefit Porepessional primer but after using this sample, i decided I'd purchase the MAC instead. It's a white bitty looking substance and slightly oily feeling to the touch, which worried me at first. But once applied, skin doesn't feel oily, if feels smoother and looks radiant. It has tiny specks of shimmer in it (barely noticeable), which i was also worried about. Acne prone skin does not match well with shimmer! But its barely there and once I've applied my concealer and foundation, you can't see it at all. As far as 'evening out skin redness' goes, I'm disappointed to say i haven't noticed any improvement in this area. But it definitely improves laydown and application of foundation and helps smooth over any large pores or scarring.

REN Active 7 Eye Gel
"
A light and cooling gel to treat, revive and brighten the delicate eye area, under or over makeup."

Can be purchased here

£20 for 15ml
I got a pack of 3 sample sized REN products with an issue of ELLE magazine. I apply this every other day as I'm young, i don't feel eye care is too necessary just yet. I've not experimented with eye care very much but i quite like this one. It's very refreshing and is great for those early mornings to help make you feel more awake.


Thanks for reading guys!
