Garnier Skin Miracle Loves

Garnier has always been a bit of a hit and miss brand for me. I love the majority of their body care range, but when it comes to facial skincare....especially moisturisers they ALWAYS break me out! I was therefore quite reluctant to try the new Miracle Skin range that has recently come out. I currently work in a rather well known drug store, and when I saw the new product arrive I popped a little bit of the tester of he skin cream onto my hand and did the usual rub and sniff test and thought nothing of it. it wasn't until around 15 mins later that I caught sight of how radiant one of my hands was comparatively to the other! I quickly rubbed a little into my jaw line to see if it had the same effect and I fell in love with this product. I thought since it was on an introductory offer that I might as well pick up the eye cream while i'm at it and give both of these bad boys a whirl. 

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream | 50ml

Garnier Miracle Eye Cream | 15ml

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | 400ml

I have been using these products together for almost a month now and my skin has been amazing, no break-out, not too oily and I have noticed a slight reduction in my fine lines around my eyes!!! There is a slight tint that is in the skin cream and eye cream, this meaning I only use them in the morning and haven't felt the need to apply foundation over the top so its perfect for no-make up summer days where you just want an even complexion. The only downside to the moisturiser is the fact that although the tint matches my skin colour now, I know after I lose my tan from holiday it will be far too dark :( secondly, a little of this product does not go along way, I would of liked to see a little more product in the bottle for the price. These issues do not apply to the eye cream however so I will defiantly be re-purchasing this product. The Micellar water has been a staple in my morning/night facial routine for since this product first came out! The bottle is MASSIVE and lasts months and it is also super cheap for a cleansing water making it amazing value for money. It leaves no sticky residue on your face after use and your skin feels fresh, not all tight like some waters can leave it. It takes off all make-up, even waterproof mascara with ease! can you tell my love for this product is really unending!? 

IF you fancy giving these products a go they are all currently 1/3 off at Superdrug!

Miracle Skin cream £8.66 (RRP £12.99)

Miracle Eye Cream £8.66 (RRP £12.99)

Micellar Cleansing Water £3.32 (RRP £4.99)

Winter Skin Routine

Why hello there... I have a Skin care post for you all this Sunday

In Scotland the weather is pretty much always the same; Grey and Wet, so i have never really needed to change my skin care routine. Canada however is a whole other kettle of fish!! When I arrived in August my skin was painfully greasy and I had to change lots of my products. Now That we are a few weeks into November my skin has taken a bit of a hit with this freeeeeeeeeeezing cold weather ... and I know the worse is still to come so getting a winter skin routine down now is really important to look after my skin over the coming winter months!

Liz Earle | Cleanse and Polish 100ml | £14/ $22

Bioderma 250ml | $16/ £10

The First part to a good make up routines is a good cleanser, or in this case, two! First I use Bioderma to remove all my make up as soon as I get in from School. Just before bed I then Cleanse with the Liz Earle Cream cleanser that really gets all the dirt off your face while leaving your skin soft and smooth and it does not strip away all your natural skin oils.

Lush | Tea Tree Toning Water 100ml | £3.95 / $9.95

Next I lightly tone my face with this Lush Toning water, I spray a few spritzes on my face and wipe off any residue  with a cotton pad! This is a light toner that tone not over tighten your pours so perfect for the winter when you want to keep as much moisture in your skin as possible.

Nivea | Aqua Sensations day cream 50ml | £10/ $22 

The Body Shop | Nutriganics eye cream 15ml | £14 / $20

Jouviance | rejuvenating anti-againg cream (sample 5ml) 50ml $93.50

The Final, and most important stage in my winter skin care routine is moisturising!! A good Moisturiser will depend a lot on your skin type, for me anything too like will dry out my skin and anything too heavy will break me out (even during the winter months) A product that I have been loving is the Nivea  Visage Aqua Sensations day cream. It has a light fragrance and quickly seeps into the skin and when I wake up the next morning my skin feels soft and smooth!

Also this time of year is to take EXTRA care or your eye area! I am currently using two eye creams. This first is one of my all time favourites for getting rid of under eye bags : The body shops Nutriganics range smoothing eye cream. Also from this Months Glossy box I am using a richer formula to really hydrate the eyes; Jouviance 3 in 1 day, night and eye cream. Its an anti-aging formula so it is really rich and perfect for this time of year!

An Extra tip to great winter skin (or great skin in general) is water!! It is more important that ever to keep you skin hydrated! If you are not a fan of water, add some squash or fresh fruit to give it some more flavour but by always having a bottle at hand it will help to keep your skin looking fresh!!

Whats your go-to winter skin saver??

Thats All for Now
