No7 Make Up Brush Cleanser


I used to be a big fan of the MAC brush cleanser, and used it to spot clean my brushes over anything else, I was in Boots a while back with one of those £5 off No7 vouchers and loving a bargain I was desperate to use it however nothing was really jumping out at me, I was looking at the brush section when I noticed they had a brush cleanser which was £8 so with the voucher was £3... Bargain!

To be really honest I wasn't expecting much from this so was pleasantly surprised when I found it actually cleaned my brushed better than MAC's version! This cleans my brushes so well, double wear is extremely difficult to remove from foundation brushes it's quite water resistant, because this is alcohol based it helps to breakdown the makeup, and brushes that I once thought were stained forever are now like new. 

I use this to spot clean my brushes, and I still deep clean my brushes with baby shampoo every 2 weeks. 
This is a great product and if you get the £5 off vouchers you get it at such a bargain. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good and affordable brush cleanser.

Thanks for reading guys!

My Favourite SPF!


I'm just going to put this out there...I do not wear SPF everyday, I tend to rely on my makeup for SPF protection. I realise people have different opinions on SPF, some sunlight is good for your skin, and in my personal opinion I do not feel that SPF is necessary everyday if I'm not spending a huge amount of time outside. 
I used to use the SPF 50 for face from La Roche Posay, and I really liked it for a long time, however my skin has changed, and not only do I feel that Factor 50 is maybe a little too high protection now, but I also found that I started getting little bumps under my skin after I'd been wearing it, and even when I would double cleanse. 
Obviously having sensitive skin has meant that some SPF's have broke me out like nobodies business, and I'm always cautious when buying them because the majority also don't seem to sit well with oily skin and give you a ridiculous shine.
By chance I picked the Solait SPF 30 up in Superdrug before I went to Portugal this summer, the thing that drew me in was the fact it claimed it had a 'light texture' and also that it was mattifying. I was so pleasantly surprised by this! I used it throughout my holiday and found no irritation, no shine and it protected my face from the sun perfectly, not a single burn!
I've continued to use this on days when I have wanted SPF protection in the UK and I still love it, it is hands down one of the best facial SPF's I've used for my oily skin, and it's also not got a hefty price tag!
I would definitely recommend!

Good Things Fresh Start Cleanser.


I mentioned before that I'm a huge fan of the Good Things range, I love the fact that it's all natural products, and free from all the nasties.
I use this cleanser pretty much every morning, it's really gentle yet leaves my skin feeling so clean and refreshed, it smells really fresh and I love the pomegranate as it wakes me up. 


The consistency is nice and thick, what I normally do is massage it into my skin then remove with hot water and flannel, I then follow with my Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser. It doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or oily, just nice and refreshed and clean.
Overall this is a great cleanser for first thing in a morning, it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, and just leaves my skin nice and refreshed. 

Another win for the Good Things range, if you haven't already tried something from this company you must! 
I'm almost certain you won't regret it! 
And for £4.99 is completely affordable.
