A few purchases from superdrug :)

Hi Ladies,

I picked up a couple of things from superdrug I thought I would show you, I went in for a bottle of water but as ever managed to pick up a few ''essentials'' while I was there - doh!

I absolutely love batiste (for the record the blonde and diva versions are my faves!) so I had to try their new XXL volume dry shampoo. I have only used this once so far and I have to say I didn't like it as much as the other versions of batiste I have used, it left my hair feeling quite stiff and heavy. Nevertheless I am not giving up on this just yet, and will let you know how I get on with it :)

If you have been following my blog for a while you will know that I love the sheer blonde gleam creme, I have used this product since I was about 15 and I always have a tube of it in my handbag and another on my dressing table. I distribute a pea sized amount through the ends of my hair if they are feeling dry and a little throughout my hair to tame any flyaway's. This is one of my all time favourite products.

Any finally...very exciting face wipes! The garnier fresh essentials are my favourites, and I love the other products from the fresh range too - especially the moisturiser which is a bargain!

and thats everything, have a great week and speak soon!

My Favourite Series..Part 1 - Moisturiser

Hi Ladies!

So I have decided to do a short series of blog posts called my favourite. For each post I am going to give a brief low down my number one favourite product from each section (ie eyeshadow, cleanser, hairspray etc) then list my three runners up :-)

So here is part one from the seris and it is my favourite moisturiser. This coverted title goes to the garnier fresh 24 hour hydrating day cream.

It is the green one in the picture above, the pink moisturiser comes a close 2nd (see runners up!)

This product is an absolute gem and I have repurchased it countless times. It costs around £5.00 in superdrug but is often on offer and can sometimes be found at cheaper stores (like savers and bodycare). Just like its name it leaves my skin feeling incredibly fresh, hydrated and not at all greasy. It soaks straight into my skin and has a light almost gel like consistancy similar to pricier moisturisers like cliniques moisture surge :-)

and now for the runners up!

• Garnier soft 24 hour nourishing day cream (another little gem!)


• Clinique dramatically different moisturising gel (pricey but worth the pennies


• Number 7 Essential Moisture Day Cream (a great one if you have a number 7 voucher!)

What are your favourite moisturisers?

Speak soon!

REVIEW : Garnier essentials soft and fresh day creams

Hi ladies! I have always been a clinique 3 step skincare girl, and am pretty much convinced clinique was the reason I stayed pretty much 100% spot free during my teenage years. I love both the dramatically different moisturising gel and the moisture surge moisturiser however being a skint uni student the time has come for me to look for cheaper alternatives. The two products which have managed (thus far!) to live up to my clinque expectations are the two cute garnier day creams pictured below.

They are the garnier fresh 24 hour hydrating day cream (green) and the garnier soft 25 hour nourising day cream (pink). Both cost around £5.00 for 50ml.

I have the tiniest little bit of the fresh day cream (I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic!) This is the first one I purchased around April/May so it has lasted me quite a long time! If I had to pick one of the two this would be my favourite. It soaks into the skin really quickly and has the same sort of consistancy as cliniques moisture surge which i absolutely love. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, hydrated and not the slightest bit greasy. I apply it on a morning after cleansing and toning, leave it for about 10 minutes and i'm ready to apply my makeup! I'm so impressed with this moisturiser and i'm definately going to try out some other products from this range.

Next up is the soft 24 hour nourishing day cream. I bought this when my fresh day cream started to get low, as it is geared towards dry and sensitive skin which I have. The nourishing day cream is much thicker and creamier in consistancy, and takes a bit longer to soak in. However once it does, it leaves my skin feeling soothed and non greasy. It contains essence of rose, vitamin E and a UV filter which helps protect your skin. I'm really impressed with this one too, however if i'm in a hurry I tend to reach for the fresh day cream as it sinks in that little bit quicker. If my skin needs a real moisture fix I apply this one, and I've also used it as a night cream!

I can highly recommend these to anyone looking for affordable skin care, and how cute are the little pots!?
