Hope your sitting comfy as this is kinda a long one :)

Okay so i didnt want to post a skin care routine until i felt like i had totally found all my holy grail products. With that the routine i am using at the moment i am really happy with and most of these products are cheap and ones that i have found at random, so thought i would post a my Skin care routine and then in future when i find new products i can link you back to this one as reference :) This is an over view of these products so if you would like a more indepth review then just leave a comment below!

Face routine

Firstly abit of back ground info on my 'skin type'. I have combination to oily skin and its very sensitive and acne prone. Ive found that skin care never 'cures' my acne but can keep it at bay and when it does flare up it keeps it as minimal as possible. Ive tried many skin care products and i am normally drawn to high end brands (the way i see it is that you could have the best make up, but if the base is not right it will never look good..That's my view anyway). I like the feel of luxury cleansers and moisturisers but these never work well on my skin and i end up giving them away which is such a waste! This is a really basic routine compared to other peoples, but it keeps my skin as clear as it can so im a happy bunny :)

Make up remover/cream cleanser-Liz Earl cleanse and polish-

The hype that surrounds this product is amazing so when I bought this I was expecting great things it does make your skin feel nice but did leave my skin a little red after a week of use with the muslin cloth. It's a really nice product but I use this more to get my eye make up off and the layer of face make up rather this solely as my face cleanser. You can find this product HERE.

Facewash/exfoliator-Freederm

So I use this morning and night and I'm in love. It's a daily face wash with exfoliating beads and just foams up, if leave my skin feeling really clean an oil free and since using this I find that my skin is so much clearer as I said I really wish I could use nice products but this is a cheap and cheerful holy grail for me.

Facemask-Dermoligica Sebum clearning masque

Okay so this is a clay based face mask an use this if my skin is feel clogged up or if I can feel an spot coming one. Leave my skin a little dry but really does clear my skin you can feel it tingling when u put it on which I like. I leave this on while in the shower as takes a while to wash off due to the clay consistency. You can find this product HERE.

Toner-Nivea daily essentials Refreshing Toner

This is a toner with alcohol so if your skin is sensitive to that then this will not be you, it is not as strong as some alcohol toners I have used such as the clique toner in number 3 which I used previously. I like this because it is sensitive but does get rid of all traces of excess make up while keeping my skin oil free.

Moisturiser-Garnier essentials Hydrating Day Cream

I love this moisturiser, my skin does not react well to thick creams and they usually leave my skin feeling oily after an hour. This makes my skin plump an moisturised without excess oil. I love that consistency of this is more gel like than creamy.




Savlon antiseptic wound wash

So if a blemish is sore or bleeding I will put this on a Cotton pad and sweep over affected area. I use this because I treat my blemishes like cuts I don't want them to get infected nor do I want them to scar so getting then healed is my mail priority.


Freederm Gel

I use this when a spot is coming to the surface of my skin when u can feel it but not see it yet. I like this product as I can tell I difference when I use it as it dries out the area stopping the spot before it is seen on my skin.

Germolene antiseptic Cream

As I said I treat my spots like cuts so when they are sore an inflamed. This product contains anaesthetic so I use this when they are really uncomfortable and it is also antiseptic so it stops the area getting infected an helps the healing process along stopping the area affected from scaring. Love this and have used it for years.

All of the above can be found at drug stores or chemists such as boots and superdrug with exceptions if the liz earle, dermologica products. which have been linked :)


P.S Im not an expert on skin care just sharing my skin care routine with you and whats worked for me, and just a head up you may want to try these products on your wrist for 24 hours before using them on your face :) nobody likes allergic reactions!

Thanks for reading.. What are your holy grail face products?

Follow me on twitter @abzeylouise

Ive been really enjoying reading peoples Make up tags lately, its really interesting to know why people love make up and what their holy grail items are so i thought i would give it a go.
So lets begin..

When did you begin loving make-up?I started experimenting when i was around 14, with just abit of face powder and abit of lip gloss. Sounds random but i went to Spain and and picked up a Rosy blush for a euro and at the time i didn't even know what it was or how to use it. I left it in my make up draw and when i started to wear liquid foundation i was playing around with my make up and popped it on my cheeks.. From then on the rest is history and Ive been a make up addict ever since because with my blonde hair and chubby cheeks i loved how it made my face Rosy. Still to this day i am an absolute blusher addict and i know i over do it sometimes but i really don't care haha. Really surprises me that i was the tom boy out of all my friends and now i am the most girlie on with bleach blonde hair and fake eyelashes would never have thought it when i was younger :)

How do you feel without make-up?I don't feel the best without make up to be honest but i wouldn't say i will never leave the house without it.. i just always hope i don't run in to anyone. Its more because of the condition of my skin that i always wear foundation if i leave the house. Its not because i care what people think, its because i just like wearing make up and feel more confident when i do.
It really aggravates me when people say you don't need to wear so much make up bla bla bla. I love doing my make up in the morning, its part of my routine and i feel 100 percent more confident when i am wearing it so why would i deprive my self?


What do you like about make-up?I love the fact that a face of make up can make you more confident. When your feeling down i love that i can put some false eye lashes and red lip and i feel like i could conquer the world.  For me it just gives me a boost that nothing else can give me, I love experimenting with different lotions and potions and i love bright colours and anything glittery. I just think that make up is the best thing ever invented!

Three holy grail items- So i have bad skin and a random one that i could not live without is Germolene, any breakouts that appear i dab this on the anaesthetic in it numbs the soreness and the antiseptic stops the blemish from getting infected such a good al lrounder and so underrated it also had healing properties so gets them healed so much quicker.
My MUA brow kit, Ive not had it long but thinking back i really do not know how i went without this for so long! And last but not least is my MAC blusher in pinch me, if you didn't tell from this post i LOVE rosy cheeks! and this is a really red toned blush but it gives you that look that you've been out in the cold and really warms your face up. I love this in the winter when your really pale with red cheeks.
So this is my take on the Make up Tag and i hoped you enjoyed reading it.Have you done this post? If so link it below i love reading them! Follow me on twitter @abzeylouise

Korres Lip Butter- Wild Rose

Okay so as said in my earlier post i am so late in trying these, i never buy a product because of the hype surrounding it (even though the hype makes me feel like i need it ). I always forget to purchase the product and then the hype goes and everyone forgets about it, this is not the case with these. To this day people are still raving about them and i am just about to do the same.

Okay these are like butter they melt on contact with your skin and smooth over your lips leaving them glossy and moist. After a while they sink in leaving them moisturised and plump feeling. They nice thing about these lip balms is that they are tinted. I only have one so cant comment on other colours but i have Wild Rose which is a red berry colour and it has a good amount of pigmentation for a lip balm. I do love this for the day but my only issue is that i need a mirror to apply it as without it is looks like ive been eating a jam doughnut! The scent of these is nice and not too over powering either.

Little Swatch

The other thing i also like about these is that Korres is a 'Natural' brand so this lip balm claims to be formulated with out all the nastyness such as mineral oil and silicone which i dont specifically look for but its always good when a product is more natual rather than synthetic.

Overal i really like the forumaltion of this lip balm and really want to get my hands on the other colours as they will come in handy over the winter months. Next one on my lips is jazmine as its more nude and looks easier to apply.

You can pick these from Feel Unique for £7.00 postage included. Link HERE.

Whats your opinion of these lip butters?
