SKIN CARE ADDICT! Take care of number one, the rest falls in to place.

I am so so happy to hear Boots and No7 have now got an easy way to recycle your cosmetics and health, wellness products plus you get points  - that's brilliant. To see another big brand get involved with recycling and making it more environmentally friendly is amazing. I have previously shared a few places where you can recycle your beauty and cosmetics bottles and since then a few more have added so will update this. Boots have quite a few stores that are participating in this recycle scheme which you can check via their website. Every 5 empty products you take back, Boots give you 500 points. That's worth £5. Now that's fantastic. They are using a scan to recycle technology.  You can take back any beauty, health, wellness and even dental products. Check their terms and conditions to double check. All you have to do is sign up and share your empty pictures to bank items. https://www.boots.com/boots-recycling-scheme I just signed up so I will share my experience and let you...

So you beauties wanted a few mild toner mentions /recommendations and here it is. These are all suitable for all skin types and sensitive skin however please note everyones skin is different and what may work for me might not work for you. Always do a test patch before full use.

These are from previous Skincare Challenge months. I love my skincare challenge months. I have been doing these over 5 years now, educating, teaching and sharing tips and tricks. Helping you choose the right care for your skin. (I share everything from body, hair, hands and feet too) Selfcare is so important for us in many ways. Especially us mums. Now what is skincare challenge? Simple a month of religious use of the basic products needed for your skin to understand and get use to a self-care routine. This includes daily care and weekly care. A morning (am) routine an evening (pm) routine and some fun extra pampering sessions like masking days during the week.  Who is this for? You can be someone who is just starting or just not sure if your routine is working. You can even be someone who’s an expert and love using lots of products but just want to step back to basics for a while or even someone who wants to start to add new products into their routine. Basically anyone, any ages ...

It's review time...  As promised and I am saying it how it is from my opinion:) I have added each product details and my thoughts on each item. Hope this helps you 💚 Hydrating Milky Makeup Re mover Remove your most long-wearing eye, lip and face makeup without stripping your skin of its essential moisture with Pixi’s Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover. • Coconut nourishes & conditions • Probiotics protect & balance • Oat Extract soothes & hydrates Retails £24.00 My thoughts: Lovely gentle remover for face but didn't like this at all for my eyes. It does take a good few pumps and cotton pads before removing long wear makeup and found the scent very off putting. Honestly the smell is nothing like the other products from the range and it doesn't remove heavy makeup quickly. I personally find this is over priced for a makeup remover. Love Pixi's collections and their ranges but some products like this could be priced lower. This is the only one tha...

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN OLD BLOG AND THIS BRAND IS NO LONGER SELLING THESE RE-USABLE COTTON PADS/PRODUCTS 🥺🥺 Are you using reusable pads? If not, why? I have recently committed myself to ONLY using re-usable pads as I really want to help the environment and just stop buying disposable cotton pads. (I just seem to keep on buying pads and piling them up) It will take time as I have this thing about getting mascara marks on my pads but I can overcome this. Will be keeping two separate just for Makeup removal so even if they mark, they are clean. That is what is important. Allow the pads to fully dry before use.   Reusable Bamboo Makeup remover pad set. 100 Percent NATURAL ORGANIC & REUSABLE - These reusable cotton pads make up remover pads are washable and can be used up to 1,000 times. Save money and our planet by reducing the use of plastic, fabric fluff and chemicals used in standard and other polyester-based microfiber pads which end up in our oceans and landfills. T...
