You're Blushing


    L'Oréal Paris Nude Magique BB Blush



To be honest, BB and CC creams have never really interested me. I've been looking for a natural blush to wear in the daytime which just gives a nice, rosy glow. I saw this, and after just one application, I loved it. The blush is gel-like and picks up the natural pigment of your skin. On me it's a pale, natural pink but when I tried it on my hand it went very slightly lilacy. You don't really feel like your plastering on your make-up with this either, a little goes a long way! It's really light and just gives your cheeks a very healthy glow. Although for a drugstore product, it's a little pricey especially in regard to the size!

Scrub-a-dub-dub

The Body Shop 
Vitamin C Microdermabrasion 


I'm on a bit of a mission to get super soft skin for Summer amongst a large list of other things. Soooo... I bought some scrubs! I'll be doing other reviews of everything else pronto! 



As I've said before, I think exfoliators are really important in keeping skin soft especially facial. Up until now, I've never found one that I've been insanely in love with so have tried looooads -  Simple to Olay to Johnsons etc. I can have quite dry and sensitive skin (I have eczema but rarely on my face), so I like to exfoliate so my skin is more even and softer. I picked up The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion 'face scrub' on a bit of a whim but it is amaaaaazing. After one use my face felt so so so so soft and smooth. Even though it doesn't recommend it for sensitive skin I used it anyway (rebel) and haven't had any negative reaction.  It has a lovely orangey smell and is  a fine sand texture kind of texture. It's not too harsh but it's not too gentle either. Although £13 for 75ml, a little goes a long way and I can see this lasting for a while as it should only be used a max of 2 times a week. If you've tried it, let me know what you think :)
