The Benefits of Cleansing & Toning

In my opinion, you can buy all the make up in the world, but if you don't have a skincare routine, any make up that you apply just won't look as good as it could.

I come across so many customers with problem skin who just don't understand the purpose of cleansing and toning, but wonder why their skin is the way it is.

This month's GlossyBox is dedicated to International Superstars! Hero products from around the world!

I will post a review for each item soon...

For now, here is a sneak peak!

Sleek MakeUp Be Beautiful Blemish Balm

This month, Sleep MakeUp are launching a multi-tasking BB cream in a range of shades to suit fair and darker skin tones. Long awaited if you ask me. This is one of the reason I think Sleek is becoming more and more successful, it caters for women of all ethnicities.

Be Beautiful Blemish Balm can be used as a primer or tinted moisturiser and is available in 4 shades: Light, Fair, Medium and Dark.

I know this post is slightly late, but I had to wait until I returned from holiday last month to be united with my July edition!

Shea Butter & Hay Fever

According to the Met Office, 1 in 5 people suffer from hay fever. If you live in London, like me, you are in amongst the worse affected area.

We are in the peak of the grass hay fever season, which affects 95% of hay fever sufferers.

Non-fleecing Cotton Wool Pads

For me, cotton pads are an everyday necessity. I use them to apply toner on my face in the morning and to remove my make up every evening. I've tried and tested various types of cotton pads, mostly the ones sold in either Boots, Superdrug or Savers (even ones that claim to be non-fleecing) but all of them left a trail of cotton either on my face or in my eyes!

I am pleased to share my opinion of a Boots own brand Baby Large Cotton Wool Pads which actually do not fleece.
