Winter skincare splurge vs save

As the colder weather starts to draw in I've decided to look at my skincare as switch up a few thing that suit this time of year.

The thing that I love this to is to use a lot of moisture masks this time of year as I feel that it just gives you that extra layer of nourishment. I have two that I use a lot and will generally apply them a couple of times a week in  quite a thick layer. The two are the Origins drink up mask which has a lovely scent and feels amazing. The only downer is that it is £23.00 for 100ml which is quite expensive as you do use quite a bit of it every use but I don't use it everyday so there are swings and roundabouts to it.
The other one that I love is the superdrug version of this as this is the vitamin e moisture mask which is £2.59 for 75ml so yes you do get a little bit less but it's way cheaper if you can't afford the origins one.



The next two product's I have compared before however I think it's such a good comparison that I thought I would do it again. It's the Liz Earle cleanse and polish with the superdrug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. These are so similar and do pretty much the same job, although I do feel that Liz Earle do a slightly better job so that's why I do get this one over the cheaper one. There is again quite a difference in price with the superdrug one being £4.99 for 200ml and you get a muslin cloth with it as well. Whereas the starter kit from Liz Earle in the 200ml with a muslin cloth is £28.00. This is quite a big but Liz Earle is more of premium brand.


My next one is another mask but this is a brightening mask. If you've been reading my blog this year then you'll know that I have been loving the REN wake wonderful night time facial which is so of a creamy light mask that you leave on. The only thing that I don't really like about this mask is the scent is quite weird and has a hint of orange but not full on orange. However if you can get past that then it's a really good and great to use before events. The one that I've found is also from the superdrug skincare range and it's the naturally radiant Glycolic overnight peel. Reading the overview of the product it seems that it does a very similar thing. There is a very big difference between the price where the superdrug is £2.95 and the REN is £32.00. So the price difference is horrendous and if you can't afford the REN one then I wouldn't stretch your budget and it's not a must have but it great to have in your skincare draw. 



So after doing a little bit of internet research I think that I've found a dupe for my favourite lip balm and a stable in my skincare draw and it's the NUXE Reve De Miel lip balm. This has been a favourite of mine ever since I received it in my advent calendar last year.  The dupe that I've found is from lush and it's the lip service which is the same sort of balmy solid consistency and this is the lip service and this is £6.75 where as the Nuxe one is £9.50. So not a big difference in price but if you want to save a few quid then it might be worth it. 


Let me know in the comments below if you've discovered any good dupes for higher-end skincare product's.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...

Soap and glory mini gift set's Every year soap and glory come out with some amazing christmas that you definitely get your money's worth. This is actually last year bag but I have put in the bag the product's that You get in the set for this year. I personally love these set's because they are so easy to travel with and because they are so small you can take everything you need with you. The set this year is called bright and bubbly and it comes in a box, which personally I prefer the bag as you can also used for travelling. The set retails for £10 which I think is amazing value as you get 4 products and a shower flower thing (what are they called?).
