SKINCARE: Yves Rocher

I hope you enjoyed the skin care reviews from yesterday! They were more for body skin care whereas today I have some facial skin care reviews. This brand is a French based brand that focuses on natural and botanical beauty. As well as skin care products, they also have a range of cosmetics and beauty products. Whilst they have already established a presence in the US, Canada and mainland Europe, they're not working towards establishing a presence in the UK.

Dermo Soothing Day Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin* - £9.10
I've been using this moisturiser on my chin as recently I've been getting a few spots there and because my Pan Oxyl is pretty new the surrounding area has become very dry. This really hydrates the skin and leaves it feel soft, smooth and protected. It didn't irritate the skin at all and it helped with the dry skin throughout the day.
On-Target Filler Eye Wrinkle Solution* - £10.90

I was in need of a new eye cream for a long time and this is my now favourite. It's quite a rich cream that doesn't settle into any lines and completely smooths over the eyes to make them less puffy and irritated. I don't really have any deep wrinkles but I have a few 'laughter lines' around my eyes and this sort of acts like a pre-concealer to get ride of them. It doesn't irritate my eyes but it does give instant effects. Love it!

SKINCARE ROUTINE: Eye Care

There's nothing really bad about my eyes as I'm only young but I do get bags under them sometimes if I haven't had enough sleep and of course, it's a good idea to start young as prevention is better than cure!

Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion* - £10.50

This is truly a wonder product. It soothes the skin and refreshes tired and puffy eyes which is what sometimes I get. If my eyes are ever sensitive and itchy then I'll apply this to a cotton wool pad and hold it either over my eye or underneath my eye to soothe the redness and get rid of any eye bags that I may have. It's also really good at removing eye make up - not the heavy stuff but just if you have a little bit of eye shadow on or anything.

Liz Earle Daily Eye Repair* - £14.50

I use this every single day to moisturise my eyes and reduce the appearance of fine lines and bags underneath my eyes. It's really lovely to use and sinks into the skin very quickly. It also contains SPF10 which helps to protect the eyes from ageing which is a big thing for me - I'm not a fan of wrinkles! Whilst it seems quite expensive for the size you do only need a little tiny amount of it and this has actually lasted me over a year.

Boots Essentials Eye Make Up Remover Gel - £1.42

I don't really use this to remove my eye make up with as I'll normally use either my Cleanse & Polish or some make up wipes but I love using this as an alternative to my Eyebright. It's very cooling and refreshing and sometimes my eyes do get tired and red. This soothes the skin down and makes them look wide awake. It's a cheaper alternative to the Eyebright.

My New Glasses!

Since starting university it's safe to say that I've noticed a dramatic change in my eyesight. I squint a lot during lectures and it's very rare that I can read what's on the presentations. So I decided it was time to get my eyes tested. And I was right. I'm pretty much blind in my left eye and my right eye is doing all the work - I blame computers and phones entirely as I used to have perfect eyesight! So I ended up getting some glasses which to be honest, I was very excited about as I love glasses.

Boots currently have an offer on whereby you can receive 2 pairs of glasses for just £79 and included in the price are the lenses (unless you choose to have special lenses). I picked up the pair above and the pair below and I really love them. I decided to go for a thick frame and a thin frame so that I can mix and match when necessary. 

I am struggle to get used to them though. Although it feels like I can see in HD it's very strange having something on my face whenever I'm watching TV, driving, reading or on the computer. But I'm sure that within time, I won't even notice that they're there.

So this is the first pair of glasses and these are the thick rimmed ones. You can tell from the picture above that it's taking a while for me to get used to them as they're half way down my face - haha!

And this is the second pair. I think I'm warming more towards the thin rimmed glasses as they're really delicate and a bit more 'me.' They're a rose gold colour and are just beautiful!

Which pair do you prefer? Do you have to wear glasses?
