My first ever ASOS beauty box 🎁  

When I saw this box up for sale in July, I just had to snag it before it went out of stock! I absolutely love trying new products (as you can all tell by now 🤭) so being able to get my hands on a mix of full and mini-sized products for £16 was a no-brainer for me. Not pictured is a pack of invisibobbles as I’ve been relying on them quite a lot lately, but 3 of them came with this box too 👌  

This box contains:

💗 CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream - this contains salicylic acid, ceramides and urea to soften and smooth skin over time without compromising your skin’s barrier. This is one of the products I’m most looking forward to trying!

💗 bareMinerals Mini Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in the shade ‘Honesty’ - this is a purple-hued pink lipstick that gives a lovely pop of colour to your lips without drying them out. It’s not very long-lasting but it’s nice to try something from bareMinerals for the first time! 

💗 indeed Laboratories No Acid Pads - these pads are designed to be a gentle alternative to chemical exfoliants, which I’m really excited about as I have pretty reactive skin that doesn’t tolerate acids very well. I’ve tried these a few times so far and love how smooth and soft they make my skin feel instantly!

💗 thisworks Stress Check Mood Manager Spray - this spray is meant to help calm you down throughout the day with its inclusion of lavender, patchouli, ylang ylang and chamomile oils (to name a few). It does start to smell a tad masculine during long hours of wear, but it is a helpful reminder to take a breath and to focus on the bigger picture.

💗 Revolution Lift & Define 5D Lash Mascara - this is meant to be a TikTok favourite so I’m looking forward to trying this out in the next few weeks! This will be replacing my Benefit Bad Gal Lash which is on its last legs at the moment.

💗 Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment - this is the product that makes me the most nervous as it contains glycolic, lactic, salicylic, mandelic, pyruvic AND tartaric acid (can you get any more acids in this?!). As this is a mini size I might just stick to using this on my T-zone rather than my more aggravated cheeks just to be safe rather than sorry.

Recently I've been using new skincare items I've purchased Indeed Labs If you want to to see my thoughts check out the review on my blog! #skincare #indeedlabs

In early June I shared a haul from Shoppers Drug Mart where I had purchased a bunch of new skincare items from Indeed Laboratories (Indeed Labs). I picked up a few products to try from their line that I was hoping would improve my skin and target areas of concern for me. Since then I’ve been using these exclusively over the last month and I wanted to share my thoughts.

Vitamin C Serum Reviews: Indeed Labs and Ole Henriksen

I’ve recently tried two vitamin C products: Indeed Laboratories Vitamin C24 and Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster. I got into vitamin C products a while back through the Obagi serum as a way to fade sun freckles on my hyperpigmentation-prone skin (Fitzpatrick type III, which in my opinion is one of the worst types if you’re prone to hyperpigmentation, because not only do you…

My Skin Care Routine

This summer, after getting the nasty sunburn that I referred to here, I’ve really been focusing on my skin care routine and getting my skin into the best shape possible. I’m 35 now (gulp!) and I know I really have to start paying attention to what my skin is telling me, how it’s appearance is actually demonstrating long term issues, and how to keep lines, brown spots and discolouration at bay.…
