His 'n' Hers kits with Korres

I'm all about cute little travel-sized beauty sets, and you might've seen a few of these products feature in my holiday packing series. Korres is a brand that I've fallen in love with over the past few years. Their products are of such exceptional quality and I haven't found a dud one yet. Currently, four of their kits have 1/3 off of them at Debenhams so whether you're travelling this summer, or just wanting to try out a few products from the brand, now is the time to snap up a kit. At just £12.67 each, they're an absolute bargain.

Men's Kit Gift Set* - currently £12.67

This kit contains the basic grooming essentials all packed up in a compact (and environmentally friendly) travel kit. The Absinthe Shave Cream is non-foaming, doesn't require a brush and has been formulated at a milder pH than standard lathering creams. The Cream is rich in essential oils and flavonoids which work together to sooth the skin, protect it from irritation and leave behind a smooth finish. The Marigold & Ginseng Aftershave Balm is a light-textured balm which improves skin tone and firmness. The antiseptic properties provide effective protection from irritation whilst the Aloe soothes any post-shave rash. The Aloe and Ditanny Shampoo promises to be a gentle shampoo that is ideal for everyday use. The Aloe is rich in proteins and aminoacids which moisturise the hair and increase its elasticity. The Dittany is a mild antiseptic which retains the scalp's balance. The Basil Lemon Showergel and the Guava Showergel first of all both smell incredible. They have a lasting moisturising effect and are rich in many different vitamins which enhances the skin's immune system. The shower gels also claim to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis to reduce the visible signs of ageing.

Best of Korres Gift Set* - currently £12.67

This little kit is a great way to try out some of the brand's best sellers. It also has pretty much everything you'd need for a weekend away. The White Tea Fluid Gel Cleanser uses White Tea to deeply cleanse and refresh the skin, without dehydrating it. The Cleanser is easily rinsed off, but the Oat proteins leave a moisturising film on the skin to leave the skin soft and comfortable throughout the day. I've reviewed the Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturising & Brightening Cream before (which you can find here) and I stand by everything I said in that review. This Moisturising Cream is outstanding. It leaves the skin balanced and hydrated throughout the day. The Wild Rose oil also helps to repair fine lines and hyperpigmentation disorders. The Wild Rose Instant Brightening Mask promises a clear and radiant complexion and is suitable for all skin types. It has an instant brightening effect on the skin and the Wild Rose oil repairs fine lines and skin blemishes. It also promotes cell renewal and leaves the skin brightened and radiant. Both the Basil Lemon Body Milk and the Guava Body Butter, like the showergels, smell incredible and they both leave the skin hydrated and nourished.

Holiday packing: body care

On Tuesday, I'll be going on my first cruise. I'm incredibly excited as I haven't been on holiday for a while and also there are eight other family members going. For me, the best part about going on holiday is picking up miniature beauty products. They look adorable, and you get the chance to try out new things. So although I have another week before I go away, I have already packed my beauty bits (minus fragrance and make up) so I thought I would show you.

Sunscreen

Soltan Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF 30 and SPF 50 - currently £5 each

For me, sun protection is very important and was the first thing I bought for my holiday. I haven't tried Soltan before but the 5* UVA rating really drew me into the product. I also love that it has protection against insects too as apparently, I'm attractive to insects. Nice.

KIKO After Sun Milk* - currently £11.10

I've never tried this before but I was sent it last year and considering I steered clear of the sun last summer, I had no reason to use it. As a brand, I love KIKO so I have high hopes for this aftersun. KIKO claim that this is fast-absorbing, moisturising and that it prevents peeling and prolongs suntan.

Soltan Baby Hypoallergenic Sunscreen SPF 50 - currently £2

I bought this to pop in my everyday bag for touch-ups throughout the day. In case you didn't know, I'm going on a cruise so I won't be sat around the pool all day, I'll be out and about. Because of this, I don't want to be carrying around the full-size sunscreens.

Mouth

Dentyl Active Plaque Fighter Mouthwash* - £1.20 and Arm & Hammer Advance White Toothpaste - £1.25

Of course, the essentials. I had the Dentyl mouthwash laying around and I'd enjoyed using it in the past. The toothpaste is one that I randomly picked up as I thought it was cute in the tube. I'm hoping that it has a nice taste.

Wisdom Travel Toothbrush - £1.49

I did originally want to take my electric toothbrush with me but it's heavy and bulky and it meant I would also have had to have packed my charger. So instead, I bought a classic travel toothbrush. It's nothing special but it is really cute.

Others

Mitchum Advanced Control Deodorant - £2.99

I have no idea why I bought such a big deodorant. But seeing as Mitchum is a great brand, I decided to stick to it. This deodorant is unscented so it doesn't interfere with any fragrances and it's also the most hardcore deodorant I've ever used. Perfect for the sun.

Gillette Satin Care with Olay Shaving Gel - full size currently £2.74

I don't like showcasing my legs very often, but summer is one time when my pins are constantly out. So because of this, I need to make sure they're fuzz-free. I did want to take my RazorPit Bump Foam with me as I'm prone to ingrown hairs but it's too big so this one will have to do.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps* - full size £45

I haven't tried this body lotion before but I've heard good things about it. In fact, I've never tried anything from Kiehl's before so hopefully this product will set off a love affair. It's supposed to have a dramatic effect on skin texture whilst providing intense hydration.

Butter London Scrubbers* - £6 for ten

I'll be painting my nails the day before I go away but in case of chips, I'll be taking the bottle along with me. I've popped one of these Scrubbers in my case as they're perfect for travelling. It's basically a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover.

Shower Gel

For shower gel, I could either have taken one decent sized shower gel or three minis. And considering I love having a variety of body washes in different fragrances on offer, I decided to take three smaller ones. The first is the Korres Basil Lemon Showergel* - full size £8 (from the Best of Korres Gift Set* - currently £12.67) which smells absolutely delicious. I then have two from Weleda. The Citrus Creamy Body Wash* - £1.95 and the Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash* - £1.95 which once again smell incredible.

Body skin care routine with Baylis & Harding's Great Body range

Hands up, who's guilty of putting a lot more effort into their facial skin care routine than their body skin care routine? I'm most definitely a culprit. It's no secret that when it comes to looking after the skin that isn't on my face, I'm just not interested. For me, it's always been a lot of effort and I've always lived by; "well, no one sees it that much anyway." But I've decided to take a stance, and now I'm investing a lot more time into my body skin care routine.

Baylis & Harding was the turning point for me. They've invented a fabulous Great Body skin care routine with a total of five easy to follow steps. I've been using three of the five steps, and I also added a lovely little product by Nivea to the clan. It's safe to say, I won't look back and body, I'm sorry for neglecting you so much for the past 21 years.

The routine starts off with the Baylis & Harding Great Body Polish* which is pretty standard for a body scrub. The scrub itself uses Walnut Shell as an exfoliant as well as Shea Butter and Coconut Oil to moisturise and soften the skin. It's pleasant to use, easy to use - body scrubs in tubs are a pain - and smells clean and fresh. Next up is the Baylis & Harding Great Body Wash* which uses skin conditioning Pro-Vitamin B5 and Glycerin to hydrate the skin and leave it soft and supple. This body wash lathers up beautifully and envelopes the skin to leave it smelling great and feeling like silk. The bottle is also a whopping 500ml and comes with a pump... need I say more?

The penultimate step in my new routine is the Baylis & Harding Great Body Lotion* which also comes with a pump, what a godsend. The lotion uses Tego Smooth® which is a recently launched patented multifunctional 48hr moisturiser that aims to reduce skin roughness whilst protecting it from external influences. This body lotion truly is lovely. It adds to the already beautiful scent and sinks into the skin nice and quickly. I then finish my routine with the Nivea Q10 Plus Goodbye Cellulite Gel-Cream on my thighs and bum area. I haven't noticed a massive difference yet but I'll keep you updated. It is, however pleasant to use and really cools the skin.

Also in the Great Body range is the Great Body Mist and Great Body Firming Cream which I'm hoping to add to my routine. Overall, this range is incredible and as I mentioned at the start of this post, it's completely changed the way I view looking after my body. In terms of the texture of my skin, I've seen an improvement and my skin feels healthier too. The Great Body range is available to buy in Waitrose.

Eliminating and preventing ingrown hairs

I know, not the most glamorous subjects, is it? But regardless, I'm someone that sadly gets quite a few ingrown hairs. And if you're a member of the ingrown hair club like myself, then you'll know how horribly painful they can be; not to mention that they certainly don't look pretty. I've been really focusing on minimising the amount of ingrown hairs on my body recently and since religiously using this routine, they've almost disappeared altogether.

I start by applying a small amount of the Boots Smooth Care Ingrowing Hair Minimiser - £9.25 to my legs a few hours before I know I'm going to be shaving. This gel uses AHA's to gently exfoliate the skin and prevent new ingrown hairs from forming. It also contains Chamomile and Honey which help to soothe and nourish the skin. I also apply this after shaving to calm the skin down and help prevent ingrown hairs further. To aid with shaving, I use the RazorPit Bump Foam* - £11.95 which is pricey but incredible. Packed with active ingredients, this shaving foam prevents razor burn, razor bumps and ingrown hairs. It contains no parabens, perfume and colourants and can be used on the entire body. The consistency isn't that of a traditional shaving gel/foam, instead it's thin and soap-like which is strange at first, but it works.

Both of these two products together have done a wonderful job at preventing ingrown hair and like I mentioned earlier, it's rare I suffer any more. Both of the products together are pricey, but if you've ever experienced the pain, discomfort and ugliness of ingrown hairs then you'll know that they're without a doubt worth the price tag. I personally know that I'll never go back to traditional shaving foam.

Do you suffer with ingrown hairs?

Korres Wild Rose Collection

Korres is one of those brands that regardless of your age, you're bound to enjoy their products. And with Mothers Day just around the corner, the Korres Japanese Rose Gift Set* makes a beautiful gift. Including the best selling products; Japanese Rose Body Milk, Japanese Rose Shower Gel and Wild Rose Lip Butter, this trio is the perfect way to celebrate Mothers Day and say "thank you" to your loved one.

The Japanese Rose Shower Gel is extremely moisturising on the skin and leaves it almost glowing. It has an array of goodness inside of the product including Aloe, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and antioxidant enzymes which all work together to enhance the skin's immune system. The scent is very delicate and uplifting and is the perfect way to to kick start the "rose routine." Follow this up with the Japanese Body Milk for extra silky skin and another layer of scent. The body milk is lightweight, sinks into the skin nice and quickly and provides long-lasting hydration. Finally, the best product of the bunch (in my opinion) is the Wild Rose Lip Butter. Packed with moisturising and healing properties and enriched with Shea Butter and Rice Wax, this lip butter hydrates the lips and leaves them feeling soft. Not only that, but it has a beautiful red/fuchsia pigment that really makes the lips "pop." Perfect for no make up, make up days.

You can buy this kit here where it retails for just £20 (a saving of 23% if you were to buy the products separately).

BODY | Imperial Leather Limited Edition Tempting Shower Creme

First of all, I must apologise for taking photos of the bottle half empty. Once I'd had a whiff of this stuff, I couldn't wait to use it and that meant the good blogger in me quickly went out of the window. If there's one thing I love it's shower gels. I have many of them in the bathroom at the moment (eight I do believe, don't ask me why). But the Imperial Leather Limited Edition Tempting Shower Creme has knocked all of my others ones off the shelf.

As a brand, I love Imperial Leather. Their shower gels are always high quality in formulation, delicious in scent and a bargain in price. Their new collection has been inspired by tropical land and using exotic scents and indulgent aromas, the brand have created a beautiful shower experience. Tempting* combines Guava with Lotus Flower which fills the bathroom with the most mesmerising smell my nostrils have ever had the pleasure of smelling. Fruity yet luxurious, one sniff and you'll be in love.

The other shower gel in the collection is Mesmerising. With a combination of delicate Shea Butter & Honeysuckle, this indulgent scent is less fruity and more warming. If I can track it down, it'll be in my trolley in an instant. Despite the price, the formula of Imperial Leather's shower gels in second to none and is better than more expensive brands I've tried. Only a small amount creates a rich, thick and creamy lather that leaves your skin soft to the touch.

Both of these are available to buy at Tesco where they retail for just £1.89. You can also buy them online here and here.

Collective Haul

Recently, I've been a woman on a mission. Since Christmas I've been spending and spending and spending. Which is pretty bad. But with a new year comes new collections and I just can't stop myself. Plus I've been on work experience for the past two weeks. 6:30am everyday?! I surely deserve a few treats. Like I said, this is a collective haul so I've purchased everything over the past month or so. I normally don't buy much for myself. Usually I get my money and it goes on car insurance, phone bill, braces and then food. So I most definitely have enjoyed buying myself some wonderful products.

Hair:

Most purchases were haircare items mainly because I've recently had it cut. Since getting my skin under control, I've been loving looking after my hair. The L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo - £3.99 is all over the blogosphere at the minute and after reading some incredible reviews, I couldn't not buy it. I haven't tried it yet but I'm extremely excited to, so I'll report back. My Moroccanoil ran out the other month which left me heartbroken. I couldn't bring myself to part with the hefty £31.85 price tag so instead, I bought the L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil UV Filter for All Hair Types - £9.99 which I've been loving. It does the exact same job as the Moroccanoil and comes in a prettier bottle. What's not to love?!

I bought the Bumble and bumble Surf Travel Set which was on offer for £4.50 (an absolute bargain considering it retails for £18). It comes with a mini shampoo, conditioner and Surf Spray - and when I say mini, I mean mini. I adore the Surf range and I'm going on a cruise in July so this will be perfect for it. Apparently, we're not allowed to take straighteners so I thought this little set will help leave my hair looking lovely and windswept. It's currently packed away in the bottom of my drawers - so tempting to use it. The Remington Keratin Therapy Round Brush - £9.99 was something I bought the day after I had my hair cut. It does a good job at getting volume into the hair but it does feels cheap to hold.

I also went a little bit crazy with Charles Worthington products. The Volume & Bounce Shampoo, Volume & Bounce Conditioner, Volume & Bounce Texturising Powder and Backcomb Brush came in a Christmas set that was reduced in the sale. It was down from £16 to £8 which is a wonderful price as the products alone would set you back £18 individually. I was going to buy the shampoo and conditioner on their own until I spotted this set - bargain. I then purchased the Volume & Bounce Texturising Spray - £6.99 using a voucher from the set. It's raved about a lot but I just can't seem to love it. It's okay but it's nothing mind blowing.

Skin and body:

I made a few repurchases because a few of my favourite skin care items had ran out. I've found a wonderful skin care routine that I'm now sticking too because it's working perfectly - no trying other products (except face masks etc) unless I really think they're going to benefit my skin. The Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Skin Renew Cleansing Oil - £10.99 is something that I've raved about many times before on my blog. I absolutely love it, it removes all of my make up and brightens my complexion. It's also very good value for money. I then repurchased my favourite cleanser which is the Clearasil Ultra Blemish + Marks Wash and Mask - £5.79. I won't go into too much detail because I am planning on doing a full skin care routine soon. I also bought the Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar - £0.70 and Boots Frosted Travel Soap Box - £1.69 because although I love my shower gels, I do believe there's nothing better than a good old bar of soap for the more "intimate areas." 

Make up:

I've tried a few Benefit products in the past but at this current moment, I don't own anything by the brand. I bought the Benefit World Famous Neutrals Most Glamorous Nudes Ever Kit - £23.50 earlier today and I'm so excited by it. I'm going to be doing a review on UNiDAYS so I won't say too much but it's so pretty! I also repurchased one of my favourite foundations, ever (the other being VICHY's Dermablend) Estee Lauder's Double Wear - £27.50. I realised that I haven't done a proper review of this foundation on Bamboozle Beauty before so I will be getting round to it soon. I bought the Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation - £8.99 after reading some wonderful reviews on it. I haven't had the chance to try this yet but I will say the colour range was very strange.

Phew, I thought that was never going to end! What have you been buying recently?

HANDS | method hand wash

Hello and welcome to my kitchen, a very fitting place for today's blog post. When I was asked if I'd like to try a few things out from non-toxic, fashion-led cleaning brand method, I jumped at the chance. After browsing the website, I fell in love with the design-led packaging and settled on a couple of their hand washes. I placed one in our shared bathroom and one in our shared kitchen. I soon received questions from my housemates asking where the new beautifully packaged and deliciously smelling hand washes had come from - a win already. method's hand wash range contains only natural ingredients to moisturise and cleanse the hands. The scents have been developed by a fragrance developer who has worked at many of the top perfume houses - no wonder the products smell so incredible.

The method gel handwash in pink grapefruit* - £2.49 is a refreshing fusion of pink grapefruit, blood orange and cassis. It smells incredible and is without a doubt my favourite of the two. Although I am probably biased as anything pink immediately draws me in. The method foaming handwash in sweet water* - £2.99 instantly intrigued me - the sweet water fragrance sounded wonderful. With notes of grapefruit, lemon leaves, watery petals of star jasmine and lily of the valley it's a scent that's instantly recognisable as it's so innovative and fresh. I also absolutely adore how this foams up.

method products are available online, at Waitrose, Sainbury's, Tesco, Ocado, John Lewis, Homebase, B&Q, Co-op, Booths, Superdrug, Amazon and independent stores.

Have you tried anything from method before?

BODY CARE | NIVEA Soft Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream

I've had the  NIVEA Soft Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream* for quite a while now. In fact, I was sent this product back when London Fashion Week was going on. The packaging above was designed by Giles Deacon and NIVEA were running an #OOTD competition. Sadly, I didn't take part as I'm not the most fashionable person out there.

However, over the past month or two, I've been using this moisturiser everyday without fail. Moisturising my body is an absolute chore and I hate doing it. This NIVEA moisturiser though melts into the skin beautifully and leaves it feeling incredibly soft and smelling gorgeous. It's the perfect base for fake tan and seeing as it's quick and easy to use, it's turned what was once a chore into a luxurious experience that I now enjoy.

You can buy this moisturising cream here where it retails for just £4.28 - such a bargain!

BODY CARE | Imperial Leather Foamburst in Rebalancing Green Tea & Jasmine

If you cast your minds back a few years, then I guarantee you'll remember the release of the Imperial Leather Foamburst shower gels. At the time, they were completely innovative and I remember my family rushing out to buy bottles of the stuff. I completely fell in love with "the yellow one" and now, Imperial Leather introduce seven new variants into the range.

The luxurious body washes transform from a smooth gel to a rich and creamy lather and glide across the skin so beautifully. Once washed off, your skin is left feeling soft and smooth and smelling divine. Imperial Leather's master perfumes have crafted seven brand new Foamburst variants using unique bursts of exquisite fragrance. Spicy Ginger and Orange to leave you feeling revived and energised, Sweet Vanilla & Cherry Blossom to relax you, Honey & Almond Milk to leave you feeling pampered and moisturised, Bergamot & Sea Minerals to revive and recuperate, Lime & Grapefruit to leave you feeling refreshed, Blackberry & Wild Fig to awaken your dark side and Green Tea & Jasmine to revitalise. 

The Green Tea & Jasmine* scent was one that I didn't think I'd like. I prefer more girly, sugary scents yet surprisingly, I've been loving using this. The smell is extremely uplifting and it's perfect in the mornings when you're feeling a little bit tired. The formula is incredible and Imperial Leather claim that the bottle lasts for 40 washes. At first, I pumped out way too much as a little bit goes a long way with this. I also love using this as a shaving foam as it leaves the skin feeling silky smooth. Since this has been in my bathroom, I haven't been reaching for any other body wash. It's dreamy to use and despite the low price tag, it feels incredibly luxurious and expensive. 

The Foamburst range is available from all major retailers and the RRP for a 200ml bottle is £2.99.

Sure Maximum Protection Deodorant Cream in Everyday Fresh

Deodorant is a necessity and when you find "the one" it can change your life. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic with that but it certainly does help. Through my life, I've gone through deodorant can after deodorant can, usually buying whatever is on offer. I've never fully committed to a certain brand but when I started using Sure Maximum Protection Deodorant Cream in Everyday Fresh* my entire perspective on deodorants changed.

Sure claim that this deodorant is 2x stronger than the leading antiperspirant and it used a tri-solid™ formula which is made up of three components. These components are: extra strength dryness protection, patented fragrance technology and skin conditioning ingredients. All of these components work together to make sure that you are protected and smelling fresh throughout the day while ensuring that your skin is protected from irritation. The deodorant cream is mild enough to use every day and also available in four fragrances (which you can view here).

I've been using this deodorant for a couple of weeks now (including throughout the dreading Freshers Week). Partying every night in sweaty, overcrowded clubs can be an absolute nightmare but I didn't have to worry with this deodorant. It's actually perfect. It smells fresh and clean and the protection is outstanding - much better than any other deodorant I've tried. I was a little bit worried about this being a cream as for me, they tend to be quite wet but this one dries straight away which means that you can get dressed instantly.

I highly doubt that I will stray away from this deodorant. It is more expensive than your usual deodorants but it's incredibly good and despite using it daily for a couple of weeks, I've barely used any of it. You can buy this deodorant here for £5.30.

Have you tried this deodorant before? Which deodorant is your favourite?

BODYCARE | Johnsons Baby Light Oil Spray

I've been a big lover of Johnson's Baby Oil for a lifetime now. My mother used to use it on me as a child and it's something that I've continued to buy throughout my years whenever I've seen that it's on offer. It's a cult product, a favourite and something that seems to be a necessity in the family cabinet. However there's always been an issue with the product's design - the bottle used to have a pour cap which made is extremely messy making using the product hard and quite frankly, horrible. Until now. Thankfully Johnson's have released the Baby Light Oil Spray* which is basically the same product in a spray bottle. This bottle makes applying the baby oil easier, quicker and most important of all, cleaner. Gone are the days of the slippery bottle. Now this product delivers beautifully soft, gorgeously smelling skin that's gentle and trusted. It doesn't leave behind a nasty film and it sinks into the skin instantly leaving your skin feeling moisturised and as soft as a baby's. Perfect.

You can buy this product here where it retails for £3.11. Boots always have some kind of offer on the baby section (3 for 2 at the moment) so it's definitely worth having a look next time you're in store.

Have you tried the Johnsons Baby Light Oil Spray before? Are you happy they've finally put the product in a spray bottle?

The hot weather lifesaver | KIKO Light Legs Crackling Mousse

I was at work yesterday. Yes, at work in the 28 degrees weather with broken air conditioning. It's safe to say, I was absolutely on fire. As well as this, I ran home so that I could watch the end of Wimbledon - I know, I must be crazy! But once I got my lemonade out of the fridge and I'd settled down to watch the final, I reached for this wonder product. The KIKO Light Legs Crackling Mousse* is one of those products that once you've tried it, you won't want to be without it. 

Basically this is a mousse product meaning that it's light and fluffy in texture however the difference with this is it crackles. It's like applying popping candy to your body which is quite strange at first but without a doubt, lovely and cooling. You apply this mousse to the legs and feet (or anywhere on your body - I've used it on my arms, stomach and back) and it soothes, cools and calms tired skin instantly. This was a lifesaver for me yesterday and it's a product that I've fell in love with and have been using constantly during the warmer weather.

You can buy this product here where it retails for £12.90. Unfortunately this is a limited edition product but they do still have them in stock over the summer.

Have you tried this product before? What are your must-have products to keep you cool in the heat?

REVIEW: Veet Hair Minimising Body Moisturiser

I mentioned this moisturiser in my everyday routine post and it also found its way into my May favourites so already, you can see that this is going to be a rave review. Before discovering this holy product, moisturising my skin was a rare occasion that happened probably a few times a month. I could just never be bothered with slavering moisturiser onto my skin and then waiting for it to sink into my skin - it was like a chore. But when I saw the Veet Hair Minimising Body Moisturiser in the Boots Clearance section, I picked it up on a whim.

Shaving my legs is another chore you see and it's a chore that I used to have to do every single day. I wasn't expecting miracles from this moisturiser, I was just hoping it'd prelong shaving time by another day or two however I now only have to shave my legs every four or so days. It makes hairs softer and lighter so when growing back, they're less visible to the eye and a lot less noticeable when you touch your legs. I put this all over my body and it leaves my skin feeling silky soft to the touch and smelling delicious. Essentially, this is summer in a bottle and it reminds me of the most beautiful suntan lotion in the world. This has completely changed my both my body care and shaving routines and I can see this being in my life for a really long time.

Veet do this moisturiser in a few different ranges including Sensitive skin, Dry skin and aloe vera (link) however, I do think a few are being discontinued soon. I just hope they don't discontinue the one I use because it is absolutely perfect. Have you tried this moisturiser out before?

My every day routines

Now exams are finished and I pretty much have absolutely nothing to do, I've gotten into a few good routines that I wanted to share with you. I've always been good with skin care and that's something that I will never, ever slack on. However when it comes to looking after my body, it's something that I always used to skip over. I'd apply moisturiser before a night out and that's pretty much your lot for the week. But I've recently discovered a lovely moisturiser that makes moisturising a pleasure. I've also been looking after my feet a lot recently and I'm just putting together a foot care post so that will be up soon. As for hair, I've always enjoyed looking after my hair but recently I've become more religious with it. Probably because I've gotten into a good routine of only washing my hair a few times a week instead of every day. This means that my hair has "repaired" itself so now it doesn't turn greasy when I apply any kind of product - wahoo! 

Body:
Stylfile S-Ped Curved foot file & exfoliator* - £8.99

Ooh this is a little beauty! Invented by the winner of the 2011 Apprentice - already a wonder product in my eyes - this has been shaped to fit the contours of the feet to make filing and smoothing your feet easier than ever. It also catches any "droppings" so you don't end up with a messy floor. Think of it like a better designed Ped-Egg. It comes with a filing side and a smoothing side, both are replaceable and easy to use. This just makes looking after your feet a whole lot easier and it also does a wonderful job too.

Veet Hair Minimising Body Moisturiser - £5.25

I bought this in Boots a few week ago because it was in the Clearance section. I'm really hoping that it wasn't there because it's being discontinued as I've now found my favourite ever body moisturiser. This claims to minimise the appearance of body hair so that you don't have to shave as often. Normally, I have to shave my legs daily which is an absolute nightmare however, applying this daily means that I only have to do so every four days which is a marked improvement. The formula of this is also really lovely. It's light and smells really fresh - it almost reminds me of suncream which reminds me of summer. Definitely a win in my eyes.

Footner Hard Skin Removal Pen - £10.95

This is another product that I bought from the Boots Clearance section - they really should stop putting me upstairs for work as I just can't resist that little section. The pen idea is a bit of a gimmick. There is no need for it and it makes applying this harder than it should be. But the actual cream is wonderful. It really penetrates deeply into the skin and instantly smooths the feet. I use this on areas of my feet that require a little bit of extra love and attention particularly my toes as the pen makes applying it there easier.

Flexitol Heel Balm - £4.95

I didn't mean to include this one in my every day routine, I was supposed to include the Boots Maintenance Balm as that's the foot cream I use in the day. However, I'm now back at home so can't really re-photograph. I will be reviewing the Maintenance Balm in a foot care routine very soon. The Flexitol Heel Balm is the foot cream I use at night a few times a week as it's really intense. It instantly improves the condition of my feet and if you have badly cracked heels then you need to stop reading this blog post and go out and buy it right now. It's incredible.

Hair:

TIGI Bed Head Totally Baked Hair Meringue* - £13.50

Although my hair is long, I don't have a lot of it. It's incredibly fine and never holds volume or curls. I love using hair mousse as it gives my hair a little bit more "oomph." This one doesn't disappoint - I use it before blowdrying and it gives off the appearance that my hair is fuller. It also smells incredible. Lemon meringue is my all time favourite dessert and it reminds me of my childhood and that is exactly what this smells like - yum. The scent also lingers on your hair all day long and I've often been complimented on the smell. If you see me and you notice me wafting my hair around like I have neck cramp - I think I look like a model personally - you know that I've used this.

TIGI Bed Head Sugar Shock Bodifying Sugar Spray* - £12.50

This is another product that smells incredible and takes me back to my childhood. Do you remember those "Amazing Amy" dolls? For some reason, this reminds me of that smell. It's very sweet and it adds extra volume to your hair. It also adds texture so it makes curling my hair that little bit easier. I use this when I'm having a "I-can't-be-bothered-to-do-my-hair-today" day as it's quick and easy to use.

TRESemme Split Remedy Leave-In Treatment* - £5.69

My hair is really long and I don't get it cut as often as I should do - oops. So it's vital for me to take really good condition of my hair. I've been using the TRESemme Split Remedy range since it first came out but this is the only product that managed to stay in my collection. It helps to repair and keeps split ends at bay and I use this every single day without fail.

OSiS Magic Anti Frizz Shine Serum* - £9.75

Now that it's getting warmer - she said - my hair has started to get a bit fly away so I've been using this serum to smooth the ends of my hair down. I have oily hair so I have to be pretty careful with what products I use on it. This serum doesn't weigh my hair down nor does it make my hair greasy - a win, win in my eyes. I also love the price of this - you really don't need a lot so it's guaranteed to last you a long time.

Skin:

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Facial Pads - £12.99

I've reviewed these before and I'll continue to sing their praises for as long as I exist. I've really gotten into acid exfoliation recently as I think it's a nicer way to exfoliate the skin. These facial pads instantly make the skin look brighter and slough away any rough patches of the skin. Since using them, I've noticed a reduction in my blemishes and the appearance of a few of my scars which is always a bonus. I use these every single morning as they clear up my congested skin. In fact, I've just repurchased them!

Eucerin Even Brighter Spot Corrector - £14.50

This is a new addition of mine and I will be doing full reviews of the Eucerin Even Brighter range. I use this twice a day on my scarring and although I haven't seen a major reduction in my scars yet, I enjoy using it. It has a bit of a chemical smell which is off putting but it feels very light on the skin - almost like a spot treatment cream. I apply this directly onto my most prominent scars as I'm not too bothered about the ones that are more faded - I'll sort those out another time.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo* - £13.00

This is a blogger favourite. I don't know how it does it but it makes the skin look smoother, clearer and brighter. It also helps to keep spots at bay and provides a great base for make up. I use it as a serum underneath my moisturiser and I have done for a few months now. With a combination of this and the Nip + Fab Facial Pads I've rarely had a breakout and both of them work really well and clearing and exfoliating my skin. Like the Nip + Fab pads, I repurchased this yesterday.

Eucerin Even Brighter Day Cream - £22.50

Like the Spot Corrector, I don't have much of an opinion on this yet as I've only just started using it. However, I love the way it feels on my skin - it's not greasy at all and it provides the right amount of moisturisation for my combination skin. It preps the skin for make up beautifully and my skin feels soft all day long. As of yet, I'm loving this day cream and if I see improvements in my scarring then it'll be perfect.

So there you have it. My most used and loved daily products. If you've done a post similar to this then please leave a link to it in the comments as I love reading what your number one loves are. Have you tried anything in my favourites? Are any of these your staples? Let me know!
