#2 Skincare - #2014bloggerchallenge









































I've wanted to do this post for such a long time so I was extremely happy that this came up as one of the topics! Anyway, I won't bore you with the usual long into, so keep reading to find out my skincare routine.

((I'm really sorry but I cannot remember the price of any of these products because I've had them for so long, again I'm very sorry.))

Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion.
I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best moisturisers on the planet! 
I can't thank my mums friend enough for recommending this product to me because it has done me the world of wonders. I don't even know where to start if I'm honest.
I've had problems with dryness and eczema which I won't go into as that would need a whole new blog post. After trying out many products my mums friend suggested this product and it's genuinely changed my life. Even just at the third day of using it I noticed my dry spots and eczema were clearing up and after a week it had almost gone. It was amazing and I wanted to scream from the roof tops. I highly recommend this product if you as well suffer from dry spots and eczema, I cannot praise this product more! Although I do not know the price I do know that this brand is sold in boots and there are many different varieties of mouisturiser types.

Simple Kind to Eyes Soothing Eye Balm.
I'm going to be honest with you here and say that this eye balm I personally feel doesn't reduce puffiness but it is a great moisturiser. As I previously said I've had a few skin problems and as well as suffering with dryness around my eyes I've had puffiness/swelling (which the doctor think is allergies). After seeing this product on a shelf and seeing what it does I thought I'd give it a go; if you don't try you never know if it works. I tried this for a month or so and noticed no difference with puffiness but there was an improvement with dryness. This product although not meant for moisturising is a great moisturiser! Again, I would highly recommend this product if you suffer with dryness but maybe not with puffiness. But if you want to give it a try and see if it works for you then you should go for it. Different things always work on different people.

MAC Strobe Cream.
As you can probably see from the photos this is not the full size product it is a sample, but fear not, they do do a full sized product at MAC's ridiculous prices. Anyway, I haven't used this product a lot as I only just got it with everything else I got at Christmas but obviously since I got it I thought I may as well use it even though I don't really need it. As I haven't been using it for long I don't feel I can comment on the effects of it/how good it is but it feels nice and isn't a heavy cream, so far so good.

Vaseline Lip Therapy.
Obviously this product is a must in any girls handbag. I use this product for two different things, firstly I use it for the lips as that is it's main purpose and It's brilliant, it is - along with my Burt's Bee's Lip Balm - an essential for winter, if you get chapped lips (LIKE EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING OUT THERE) then you need this, just use your fingers to apply a sheet over your lips and your chapped lips will be gone in a matter of minutes. Now, onto the other thing I use this product for. As you may know Vaseline moisturiser comes in quite a big tube and seeing as I have an amazing moisturiser already it seems unnecessary to buy another one, because of this reason I use this on my dry patches. It only takes a small amount as the product is quite greasy so it works a treat!

Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus.
As we all know from my blog post on this, I love this product! I don't really need to write a lot about this product as I've already done a whole blog post on it right here so if you read that you'll get the low down. But just a quick overview for you people who are lazy like me, this is a very moisturising lip balm which cures chapped lips for the whole day, it only needs one application in the morning and will last you practically the whole day. Not only is it a fabulous moisturiser lip balm but it is tinted which means it gives you a pop of colour which is neither too sheer nor too pigmented. All in all this is one of the best lip balms out there and I can't wait to try more of the Burt's Bee's products.
