Just a week ago I received the Too Faced Born This Way Concealer*. 

This Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer promises to achieve Super Coverage and can be used 4 ways:

1. Conceal
2. Contour
3. Highlight 
4. Retouch

It is infused with Coconut Water, Alpine Rose & Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and soothe the skin; it is non-comedogenic and oil free, long-wearing and available in 35 shades. 

I selected the shade Almond which is a great match for my facial skin. I can attest to the Super Coverage claims as it is highly pigmented and only a tiny amount is needed, it blends in nicely and looks undetectable on the skin, helping me camouflage redness and imperfections. 

The packaging is cute, with a frosted plastic bottle, black lid and gold detailing, which resembles a small foundation bottle. It contains 13.5 ml and has a PAO of 12 months, and as only a small amount is needed each time it will last a long time.

I don't wear foundation so this is a nice product to have should I wish for a bit of extra coverage when dealing with breakouts or black circles.

This was my first time trying Too Faced and I am very happy with this product so will be looking into trying more from this brand!

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

I received the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser from the Superdrug Community to test and review.

This Cleanser for normal to dry skin is designed to cleanse, hydrate and remove makeup while respecting the skin barrier thanks to 3 Essential Ceramides, Amino Acids and Hyaluronic Acid. 

Other notable ingredients include gentle surfactants, Glycerin, Salicylic Acid, Cholesterol, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Citric Acid and Phytosphingosine to further moisturise and gently exfoliate the skin.

The CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser has a light, milky texture reminiscent of a moisturising lotion. It foams lightly and leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth and gently moisturised. 

I am really enjoying this cleanser as it does not leave my skin feeling dry or tight after use.

Only a small amount is needed and as they kindly sent me the 473ml version it will last for absolute ages!

Leather & Lace

Nuditta Dress // Nuditta T-Shirt // H&M Cardigan // Topshop Boots // Status Anxiety Bag

(Similar: Alpaca Cardigan, Suede Buckle Boots)

Nuditta kindly sent me a couple of items to style for my blog! I chose this Lace and Satin Chemise and styled it with their Ultra Soft Modal T-Shirt for a grunge inspired look. 

It still is freezing here in the UK so had to wear a cardigan with this look. I did brave the cold for a couple of pictures without it to show the beautiful lace and intricate strap detailing. 

I love the flowy fabric of this dress which is very well made and I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products I received.

A couple of weeks ago I received a set of Dermafirm CICAA.C products, kindly sent to me by the brand

CICAA.C Cleansing Foam: formulated with a slightly acidic pH and over 35% moisturising ingredients for balanced skin. 

This creamy cleanser features gentle surfactants, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Tea Tree Oil, Centella Asiatica EXOSOME, and 4 types of exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA & LHA).

It foams up nicely and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturised. 

CICAA.C Essence Toner: also formulated with Centella Asiatica EXOSOME, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and 4 types of exfoliating acids like the Cleanser; plus Octuplex Hyaluronic Acids, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans and Panthenol to control sebum, exfoliate and hydrate in one single step.

This toner has a watery texture that absorbs easily into the skin and leaves my skin not only hydrated but also moisturised, smooth and soft which I really like. 

CICAA.C Spot Cream: just like the Toner, it contains Centella Asiatica EXOSOME and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Panthenol and several types of Hyalurinic Acid; as well as Niacinamide, Allantoin and Symclariol 0.5% to help soothe, moisturise and reduce acne bacteria.

It has a creamy texture that melts into the skin with ease. It provides light moisture and I also noticed that it has helped greatly reduce redness.

Sadly, while it did help reduce blemishes, I still experienced some minor breakouts while using this range so it did not prevent new ones from appearing. I liked how lightweight the product textures are and they did not irritate my skin.
