Video | Skincare/Bodycare Haul

Shopping. My favourite thing to do and if I'm not out shopping at the weekend, then there is probably something wrong with me. Anyway, I ran out of some skincare bits, so I picked up a couple of things that are new to me, and some that are not!

Video | Carry-On Luggage Holiday Packing

I'm going on holiday in two days, and I CAN'T PRETEND I'M NOT EXCITED. OH MA GAHDDD! I just can't wait to be horizontal, either on the beach or by the pool, and under that sun making me sweat like a mofo!

This video is to let you know what I'll be taking on holiday in my carry on luggage, as Ben and I haven't bought check-in luggage. I'm paying particular attention to my skincare routine and makeup!

Skincare | Couple of Clinique products..

Lets talk about you and me, lets talk about Clinique baby....

Hello again! What a glorious day it was today. Sun was a-shining and it seems as though my garden is a suntrap and I have no garden chairs to sit on! Tut. But that doesn't matter anyway because I've been editing my video for the last 4 hours and although it took so long, I'm really proud of the results! You'll be able to see it tomorrow on my YouTube channel, so keep your peepers peeled for that!


So, on to some Clinique products I've been loving soooo much lately

Clinique Clarifying Lotion Mild & Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25

Once again, ignore my dry hands...

That brown colour you can see is my fingers behind the cotton pad... not the lotion lol

As you can see, it blends out to be quite pale

You can't see it here, but it does give veeeery very light coverage to your skin

Clinique Clarifying Lotion Mild

Formula: A liquid toner which looks silky and smooth in the bottle (but that doesn't translate when you apply it)
Application: Apply to cotton pad and swipe across the face. Flip cotton pad and swipe across the face again
When: Evening skincare routine (but can be used for both morning and evening)
Do I love?: YES YES YES
Anything I would change: I think I would like a little cap with the hole in it over the opening just so the product doesn't come gushing out every time (basically like the Pixi Glow Tonic)
Price: RRP £16.50 for 200ml

I LOVE THIS TONER. MORE THAN ANY OTHER SKINCARE PRODUCT I HAVE USED. That bumpiness/the pimples on my forehead I keep going on about? GONE. The softness of my skin? SMOOTH AS A BABY'S BUTTOCKS. Did I get this on discount at Bicester Village? YES.

This has changed the skincare game for me. I think I must get along with BHA's (i.e. Salicylic acid) more so than AHA's (i.e. glycolics). I'm not complaining though!

Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25

Formula: A tinted cream SPF product for your face
Application: Rub in to skin after skincare routine
When: Morning skincare routine
Do I love?: Yes, but I have not tried any other facial SPF's
Anything I would change: It would have to be the colour of the tint. It's too pale! I'd rather they just made it white and made it so the colour disappeared in to the skin. But I'm sure that's something to do with it being a physical/chemical SPF??
Price: RRP £18 for 40ml

I've been loving this for the most part whilst Summer is kicking in. I KNOW I KNOW, I should be wearing SPF everyday... But my foundation and daily moisturiser definitely has SPF in so I thought it would suffice. But as the Sun is actually making an appearance here in the UK, thought I should start putting on my Clinique City Block again. It's a non-oily formula which makes it perrrrfecto under makeup. However, as mentioned above, the colour of the tint is way too pale for my skin tone (and that's saying something considering I'm pale atm because I haven't been out in the sun and haven't fake tanned recently)! But seeing as I apply my foundation over the top, I'm not toooo bothered about this..


What Clinique products have you been using lately? I wanna try out some more skincare products because I know that they work and are fairly affordable in the skincare world!


See you tomorrow for a video!
