FOUR MIRACLE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

When my skin is giving me all sorts of trouble I know I can rely on these four products to save my skin and help bring it back to normal. I own quite a few skin care products, most of which I am not really fussed about but do the job so when I rave about something or continuously reach for it, you can trust that it's good.

Listed from left to right: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, Alpha H Liquid Gold, Sukin Rose Hip Oil, Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh face mask

Although the Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh face mask is a relatively new purchase every time I use it I notice pretty dramatic results. It keeps skin clear and really lives up to its claims to calm problematic areas and reduce inflammation while also making the skin very smooth and soft. While the packaging is fairly small I've managed to get a good amount of use out of it so far and still have quite a lot left. I am with out a doubt going to pick this up again along with another fresh face mask to try out, Lush do such fantastic products!

Both the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and Alpha H Liquid Gold are products I have used up many times and have been staples in my skin care regime for years now. The Drying Lotion is fantastic to throw onto that pesky pimple before bed and in the morning it will be dramatically reduced. Alpha H Liquid Gold is one of those crazy hyped up skin care products, so much more a couple of years ago and I think it does deserves the hype. I use this around two to three times a week and I feel that it has helped to reduce my acne scars and it leaves my skin looking bright and feeling incredibly smooth.

The last product that is a must in my skin care draw is Sukin's Rose hip oil. I used to have pretty oily skin but over the years it has become more on the dryer side, bringing a few stubborn flaky patches with it that I have had a little trouble getting rid of. Rose hip oil with its many moisturising properties, is great at combatting this problem as well as fighting acne scaring. I also find that rose hip oil helps to even up the skin tone and give it a beautiful healthy glow. As much as I love rose hip I do want to try out some other oils and would appreciate any recommendations!

What are your holy grail skin care products? Have you used any of these?

LUSH HAUL



There is no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to soak it up in a nice hot bath and watch holiday movies, so on a recent Christmas shopping trip I decided to stop at Lush to purchase a few holiday limited editions and do just that! I originally planned on buying a whole lot more but most of what I wanted had already been sold out. However I am really happy with what I picked up, even though only two of the seven were limited editions.

Recently I have been suffering with a few breakouts so I did a little research and I found that the Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask was meant to calm the skin and help reduce problem areas, so ultimately this stood out to me and I can't wait to try it! I hope it can help out my skin before Christmas day.

For the bath I picked up The Comforter Bubble Bar,  Golden Wonder Bath Bomb and Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb, all of which smell divine! I've heard so many wonderful things about The Comforter and when I smelt it at the store it went straight into my basket, I knew I had to have it! Out of all of the Christmas releases the Golden Wonder was the one I wanted to try most, so ended up buying two! The reviews I read for the Dragon's egg made it sound really fun and I couldn't help but pick it up. I haven't tried any of these products before but I can already tell that I am going to love all three.

When I went into Lush I had my heart set on getting the So White Bath Bomb but they were of course sold out and the shower gel version was the only choice I had on getting this amazing sent, but I'm not complaining! This stuff smells just like apples and leaves you feeling really fresh, I already love it and I'm sure it will become a part of my daily routine! Rose Jam Shower Jell smells really nice too, I only intended on getting one shower jell but when I smelt this I just couldn't leave it behind!

Finally I picked up Santa's lip scrub, I have the bubble gum version of this which I did like but wasn't really a huge fan of its super sweet taste. Santa's lip scrub tastes just like cola with a hint of cherry and also leaves a slight berry red tint to the lips, making it perfect for the holiday season.

I'm really looking forward to trying out these products and will definitely be using some in the bath tonight!
