New Skin Care Haul

As I was browsing through the beauty section in Asda, I came across a new range of products. The lovely pastel coloured range of products caught my eye all the way down on the bottom shelf!

This skin range is only available in Asda as it is a store brand. The range is so cheap! I managed to get all the following products for around £16! Usually the price of one product if not less. I decided to give this range a try as I have always though expensive = better quality. I think I may have been proven wrong as for so far, I am very impressed!   The best thing about these products is that they are paraben free! So many companies have started leaving out parabens and this is great! I will be posting shortly about why we should AVOID PARABENS!!!

They do not have the full range of products on the website so I will not be linking each product. However, I'm sure if you live in the UK there is an Asda close by or in the nearest town. 

          

Above you can see the SkinSystem Eye make-up remover (£1.50) and the SkinSystem Creamy face wash (£2.00). Both of these products do what they promise. I really love the face wash as it leaves your face feeling so smooth and clean. The eye make--up remover is also really effective however I don't really like the fact that it's a cream. I feel a bit nervous putting it on my eyes as it may get into my eye and sting. Maybe that's just me being silly!

 

The SkinSystem Cleansing lotion (£2.00) and the SkinSystem Toner (£2.00) are really kind to my skin. I have sensitive skin however, these products are lovely. The scent of the two are gorgeous, sort of floral. I also think the size of the two bottles are great, you get a lot of product which will last you a long time, baring in mine I use it morning and night. 

I decided to get two moisturisers as I love to moisturise my skin! On the left is the SkinSystem Q10 Night cream (£2.50) and on the right is the SkinSystem SPF15 day cream and night cream (£2.00). I love how the night and day cream are in the same tub! this is perfect for travelling or taking in a handbag! The Q10 night cream is slightly thicker than the other product. Again both products are beautifully scented and leave my skin feeling so soft and moisturised!

Lastly I decided to try out the SkinSystem Anti-ageing wrinkle serum (£2,00). I have often read that by using anti-ageing products early it can benefit your skin so I thought why not. The serum is quick drying and you only need a small amount which is a plus!

Overall I think you can't go wrong with these products. They are perfect for a starter skin care set for early teens or something like that. Also the price is absolutely amazing so the upkeep on products wouldn't be too much of a problem, the products are also quite large so would again last you a long time!

Have you tried any of the Skin System range? let me know what you think!

Lots of love

REVIEW: Real Techniques Stippling Brush

I have walked past this brush so many times and thought "I need that product". There are so many positive reviews on the Real Technique brushed so I decided it was about time I put it to the test.

This is the Real Techniques Stippling Brush (£11.99)

 

The brush promises to "Create a flawless base which helps you build coverage gradually for an airbrushed, high definition result" - Real Techniques

The Brush is packaged in a long, thin box with information provided on both the front and back. The brush itself is quite small with a pinch in the handle creating an hourglass sort of body. 

The brushes use Taklon fibres which basically means the hair is synthetic. They are also hand-cut which to me screams brush TLC. The brushes are colour coded in order to allow ease of access and define the use which is such a great idea! The stipple brush is pink which means it is within the 'perfect finish' category and also has a name on the side in order to allow easy reference.  

 

So, when I got home from buying this brush I couldn't wait any longer. I took off my makeup with my usual routing, cleanse, tone, moisturise, prime. I then went straight in and dipped the brush into the product I had on my hand. I decided to use the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation (£5.99) in Ivory. I love this foundation as the coverage is brilliant and also, it is one of the only foundations that really look well on my skin colour. I am very pale so finding a foundation is a full blown mission for me!

The brush instantly gave me an airbrushed look. by using a circular buffing motion I gained such a good application of product. The brush has an extended aluminium ferrule and this really does ease the application and control of the brush. 

All in all I am extremely satisfied with this brush and so glad I bought it! It really has changed my foundation application. I will defiantly be investing in some more Real Technique brushes! 

What are your thoughts on the Real Technique brushes and which would you recommend?

Lots of Love
