I recently received a couple of these as samples when buying a moisturiser from Clarins. Although they are only small bottles I really love how soft and bright they make my skin feel. Recently I have just been using them to clean my face before applying make-up but I have to say I will be looking to purchase the full size very soon. Being very reasonably priced for the job it does I would recommend to anyone looking for something new in their morning routine. You can get this from most Clarins stockists for only £16.50 but I especially like Boots so you can collect your advantage card points too. 

My new year resolutions this year include developing a skin care routine that really works for my skin and sticking to it. I really love brands like Clarins and Benefit so hope to try out more of their products within the coming year. 

Have you ever tried this before?

Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster*

I am always complaining about how pale I am over the Winter/Spring months. It is extremely unattractive and usually that fake-tan has to be cracked open. However this can sometimes lead to streaky and uneven tan marks/lines which is not a pretty sight. Tanning my face is one of the most difficult things, I want a natural glow without appearing like a giant orange monster - is that too much to ask? Thankfully the lovely ladies over at Clarins have realised the pain that I and many other girls seem to be going through and have created an answer to our prayers. 

This little miracle can be incorporated easily into your everyday skin care routine without having to revamp it completely. All you need to do is apply a few drops to your regular everyday moisturiser routine before applying make up and you are on your way to beautiful glowing skin. Having only just started using this I am extremely impressed with the way it still leaves my skin feeling silky soft with no sign of oiliness or dryness. I would totally recommend using this rather than a harsh fake-tan on your face. 

What do you think of the Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster?

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Range

So after I've heard so many great blogger reviews on this collection I thought I would start small and give some of the products a go. I am really hoping to expand my collection further when my bank account allows, is there any particular product you would recommend? I've heard the day cream is very good.

Skin Perfection Eye Cream:

As you may already know I have been looking for a decent eye cream to hide my terrible under eye dark circles - late nights have not helped whatsoever. Thus why the Skin Perfection Eye Cream was purchased! Slightly tinted it does give the slightest bit of coverage and doesn't feel greasy on my skin. However it has a long way to go in actually making any difference to my dark circles. I am going to continue using it and will update you if the results get better. 

Skin Perfection Micellar Solution:

Originally bought to remove my make-up - I know I blogged about the Benefit makeup remover here which I love, but I am really weird and don't want to use it because I love the bottle so much! That is totally crazy right? Anyway, the 3 in 1 formula not only removes my makeup but cleanses too. Yay! Quick and simple makes me a happy bunny. 

Skin Perfection Toner:

I adore this product, everything from the smell to the packaging. It is simply a must have. Not only does the formula leave my face super soft but I have seen a reduction in the outbreak of spots on my face. Which in my books is always a winner. Buy this now if you haven't. I am pretty sure it is on offer in Boots. 

What are you loving from the range, or interested to try?

My 2014 Skin Care Favourites

I have been really concerned about my face recently after reading beauty blog after beauty blog about how much product some of the lovely ladies put onto their skin. I must admit I am a self confessed virgin when it comes to moisturisers, primers and toners. Before the world of blogging I wouldn't have been able to tell you the difference. This stops now. I must re-evaluate my life and start looking after myself. Thus introducing my new skincare favourites - so far, suggestions are very welcomed.  

Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Pads - I adore these because I have quite sensitive skin and they don't irritate or make my eyes itchy in any way. Combine that with being able to remove even waterproof mascara is always going to win me over.

Benefit Remove It Make-Up Remover - I was given this for Christmas after telling my mum that using make-up wipes to remove all your make-up is actually really bad for your skin and causes more breakouts. I am a Benefit lover and was so happy to find this in my pile under the Christmas tree. I love the smell and it can always wipe away any make-up I am wearing. Teaming this with my Simple eye make-up remover pads and I can be fresh as a daisy in minutes. 

Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On - I have super bad dark eye circles. Lack of sleep is usually to blame, but I have and always will be a night owl. So I need something to help me banish, or at least mask the dark circles. I have only started using this but have seen a slight improvement under my eyes. It is rumoured to be great for anyone who suffers puffy eyes in the morning. 

Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub - I am a huge Simple fan, my problem with a lots of products is that they use an obscene amount of perfume which really irritates my skin. Simple keeps it simple - see what I did there? Again I have only just starting using this products but have seen a reduction in blackheads and my skin is super soft. 

Botanics Facial Brush - I use this to apply the facial scrub, not only is it soft of my skin but great at really getting into my pores and unblocking them. Which lets face it, is never a bad thing. 

Freederm Spot Treatment - Like everyone I get breakouts, but I tend to develop stress spots. Huge under the skin ones that appear like little mountains on my face - not cool. Chuck a little dab of Freederm on them and it severely reduces the size with a day. 

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel - This used to be my little brothers, until I stole it. Preventing spots is the best way to treat them, or so everyone keeps telling me, and this certainly has proven to be worthwhile for me. 

I am really interesting in finding out your own skincare favourites. Or any you would recommend, especially for my dark eye circles! Looking forward to hearing from you.
