Happy Bank Holiday Monday everyone! After last week’s pink post I may have gotten a little carried away and
planned a few more themed posts focusing on some different colours! First up
are my favourite blue products!
I’ve spoken about this loads on my blog before and it regularly
features in empties too but this is my favourite product for a first cleanse
and I have been using it for years! It’s so creamy and effective at removing a
good chunk of my makeup before I go in with an oil or balm. As it’s so creamy I
don’t feel like I am dragging my skin at all with this and it’s so affordable!
Nivea Protect and Care 48 hour
Anti-Perspirant*
Deodorant is something I like to have a few different options for and
will switch daily as I find my armpits get quite used to products I use long
term! Nivea recently released a new deodorant featuring the scent of Nivea crème
which you all know I am obsessed with! It promises to be strong on sweat but
gentle on skin while providing 48 hour protection. I’ve been using this for
about three weeks now and while I haven’t tested the 48 hour claim, it lasts
well throughout the day on me and as expected I love the scent, it’s so fresh
and clean! It also comes in stick and spray form too and is available from
Superdrug, Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s!
I talked about this in an empties way back here when I was on my second
bottle but didn’t repurchase till recently as I was finishing other serums
(practising self-control for once!). I’m so glad to have this back in my
routine, there is something about it I love. It’s quite a watery formulation
but dries in quickly making my skin feel lovely and soft and hydrated
throughout the day! I feel like it’s become a little more scented since I last
used it but I could be wrong, it doesn’t affect my skin anyway and I still love
it!
This is my second bottle of this stuff now and another product I’m glad
to have back in my skincare routine! I use it after I tone at both night time
and in the morning and press in with a cotton pad. I find on me it’s refreshing
and helps calm any spots I have! It’s also meant to help with excess oiliness
which I didn’t realise until now so I will be looking out for that too!
I don’t think I’ve ever spoke about this on my blog before but there is
something about it I really like. I was enabled by Pixiwoo absolutely ages ago who
used it as a primer and I find it really effective! It’s my moisturiser/primer
of choice when I take hand luggage as it doubles up as both and saves me a lot
of room while nicely moisturising and priming my skin and giving me a good base
for my makeup.
This is without a doubt my favourite foundation and after going on a
bit of a mission in the last month or so to find the perfect foundation without
SPF, I can confirm that it can’t be done. For my skin anyway! I don’t wear this
daily, it’s too expensive for that, but this is the only foundation I trust on
a night out/if I have to get a photo taken (yes even with flash because at
least I’ll look like a ghost with good skin!). I have combination skin and this
mattifies it without clinging to any dry patches I have as well as seemingly
looking better the longer I wear it. Not sure what magic it is but it’s one I
will continue to repurchase again and again!
I have gone through so many bottles of this nail polish remover as it’s
so effective! I don’t know if it’s clever marketing calling it “ultra cleansing”
but it really does get my nail polish off so quickly and easily!
I picked this up a few weeks ago when it was on offer as curiosity got
the better of me (I usually hate Revlon mascaras) but this has been a pleasant
surprise! It’s quite a dry formula with a bristled brush and like the packaging
says, gives me great volume and length, exactly what I look for in a mascara! I
always get the waterproof version and it’s worked perfectly and I haven’t
noticed any flaking either! I’m definitely not upset the old Revlon mascaras
have been discontinued and want to try out more of the new range soon!
This is probably one of my favourite nail shades ever! It’s definitely not
the most Spring/Summer appropriate but who cares about that when you see how
pretty it is! It’s a deep navy blue with the most gorgeous understated shimmer.
I have a whole post on it here with it on my nails too!
Essie Find Me an Oasis
A little more light for this time of year, Find Me an Oasis is the
prettiest pastel blue I own! Essie really do the best pastel shades in my
opinion! I love these mini polishes too that you can get in sets as I very
rarely finish a full size nail polish!
So there are my favourite blue products or you know products that come
in blue packaging! Have you tried any of them? What did you think?
