Texture Tuesday ft. Salicylic Acid Cleanser from @theinkeylist⁣ [PR]⁣
⁣⁣
It is Tuesday, right? I swear this week/month/year is so long. How is it still February?! 🥴 I have been so busy, like busier than I’ve ever been before! Designing, client work, studying, more designing, failing an exam (lol), studying even more… But hello, hey, hi! I am here, crying through the stress 🥲⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It actually feels strange to post… What do I write? This cleanser is good… 👍⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Anyways, how is everyone?⁣⁣
Tried any new products lately?⁣⁣

🤩 I couldn’t resist...⁣
⁣
I told myself I wasn’t going to open this until I finished the original cleansing concentrate, but as soon as this arrived I tore it open and smeared it all over my face 😅⁣
⁣
Life’s too short to save for later!!⁣
Did you order the new CC with blue tansy?

I’d love to know what you’re doing to remain positive during these dark, stormy times?⁣
⁣
I have switched off all notifications on my phone and it has helped tremendously!! No news, no social media, all calls diverted 💆🏻‍♂️⁣

If you need me you can send me a letter or pigeon carrier, but poor thing might not survive these terrible winds! 🐦

Some type animation for the Typology Hyaluronic Acid. Get it… Type…⁣
⁣
The @typologyparis 3% Hyaluronic Acid + 2% B5 is a great no-fuss, no-thrills hydrating serum.⁣
⁣
It does exactly what you would expect. ⁣
⁣
There! There’s my full review 😂⁣
⁣
What more do you say about a hydrating serum? It hydrates! 😂⁣
⁣
Are you a fan of HA serums?⁣
⁣
Dedicated Hyaluronic Acid serums were very popular in 2018, and even though they’ve kind of taken a back seat, I still enjoy having one in my routine.⁣
⁣
You might find this serum comparable to The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and rightfully so, but I find the consistency of this isn’t as sticky as TO’s. In one sense, it feels thicker, but it sinks in and leaves no trace of stickiness.⁣
⁣
I’ve not had any problems with this pilling or not playing well with other serums — which I’ve experienced with TO’s. But I do find this product truly comes to life when paired with other serums. I usually pair it with the Allies of Skin Pore Refining Booster, The Inkey List’s Polyglutamic Acid, or Skyn Iceland’s Youth Serum, and each time I’ve noticed my serums have absorbed faster than it did without the Hyaluronic Acid.⁣
⁣
Win win!⁣

What are some products you didn’t expect to love

What are some products you didn’t expect to love as much as you do?⁣
⁣
For me it’s the @AlliesofSkin Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser and the @FentySkin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturiser. There was so much talk about both products, I didn’t think they would live up to their expectations. But for me, they did!⁣
⁣
It took some time for me to warm up to the Allies of Skin cleanser, as it’s so different from my usual Cerave cleansers. But I’m really enjoying the way it makes my skin feel.⁣
⁣
As for the Fenty Skin SPF. For my oily skin, it’s one of the best moisturiser/SPF combos I’ve tried. It sinks in wonderfully, works well with other products, and doesn’t flake off. Plus, it gives my skin this healthy, summer glow that my skin desperately needs in these Scottish winters.⁣
⁣
Have you tried either of these?⁣
What are your thoughts?

After 6 months of using the Dermatica Tretinoin, l

After 6 months of using the Dermatica Tretinoin, last night was my final application. I was applying it pretty much every single day and not really seeing a huge difference. But like most things, it was probably me and not them 🥲 ⁣
⁣
I’ve decided to start using the Allies of Skin Retinal as so many of you have raved about it. But before then, I want to give my skin a couple of days rest (lol). My routine is going to be completely stripped back, consisting of only the essentials…⁣
⁣
🌙 @officialmedik8 • Advanced Night Eye⁣
An incredibly nourishing eye cream which firms and plumps the under eye area. My first venture into Medik8 and it doesn’t disappoint. ⁣
⁣
🌙 @theinkeylist • Vitamin B, C and E Moisturizer⁣
My holy grail moisturiser. A simple, no-fuss moisturiser that works wonders. it’s perfect for when you’re taking it easy, but still want a lil something. ⁣
⁣
🌙 @deviantskincare • Facial Oil⁣
One of the greatest oils I’ve tried. Super lightweight on the skin, but packs a punch. I find a few drops of this gently pressed into the skin makes a world of difference to my skin.⁣
⁣
And that’s it. Super-duper simple. I might even add a hydrating serum if I’m feeling adventurous, but probably not.⁣
⁣
Are you currently using a retinoid?⁣
And if so, what are you using?⁣

I’ve been using the @fentyskin Fat Water pretty

I’ve been using the @fentyskin Fat Water pretty much day and night for two weeks, so I thought now would be good time to give you my first impressions.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Although named Fat Water, I don’t find anything ‘Fat’ about it… Sure it’s thicker than your regular toner, but I actually found it to be a lot thinner than my usual morning serums. Perhaps that’s why it’s meant to be a hybrid, who knows?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Anyways, it’s got big, big claims… Supposedly it helps target pores, brighten the skin, improve the look of dark spots, smooths, and fights shine! All whilst hydrating! Now I’ve got to say, I did find it hydrating. Hydrating enough for me to skip my usual morning Hyaluronic Acid serum, but that’s where the results kind of stopped. Sure, it’s probably way too soon to notice any brightening results, but I didn’t notice a reduction in shine nor my pore visibility. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As for the fragrance; at first I didn’t really notice it, but the more I use it, the stronger it gets! But I don’t mind it. It’s not overly intense and it doesn’t linger for too long either. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know a lot of you have said that this range would be good for someone wanting to develop a routine, and I have to agree. If you’ve never used a toner/serum before, then sure this would be good. But I feel like it would be one of those products that once you finish, you’re probably going to purchase an actual serum. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
All-in-all, do I regret buying this? No⁣⁣
Is it revolutionary? Not really⁣⁣
Would I repurchase this? Probably not⁣⁣
Do I feel included on Instagram now that I own it? Yep ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I think if you’re going to purchase one item from the Fenty Skin range, go for the moisturiser/SPF combo. I’ve been using that every morning and I absolutely love it. Dare it say it could be my favourite SPF? Perhaps!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Have you tried anything from Fenty Skin?⁣⁣
What do you think? Let me know!

Using up my last of @theinkeylist’s Kaolin Clay mask for this weeks Texture Tuesday

A great mask all-in-all, but I’ve had this open since March so it’s probably time to give it a new home. And by new home, I mean my acrylic sheet where I take my texture shots 🤪!

Anyways, happy Tuesday!

💧 Kickstarting the week with some steamy goodness featuring the Thirst Trap Juice serum from @wishfulskin⁣
⁣
I loved their original Thirst Trap sheet mask. It was probably one of my favourite sheet masks of all time; Incredibly hydrating, soothing on the skin, and not to mention the mesh material hugged your face like an absolute dream.⁣
⁣
However, it’s 2021. And in 2021 I’m trying to be smarter with my purchases, which means no single-use products, no matter how great they are.⁣
⁣
But that’s why the Thirst Trap Juice Serum came at the right time; incorporating all the goodness from their sheet mask, but less waste and more uses! Win-win.⁣
