Toner Love

Today I wanted to show you some toners I've trying out over the last few weeks.



I've recently moved back to North Wales after 10 years up in Lancaster - how old does that make me sound! (I went up for Uni and stayed). Anyway once back I realised that I could no longer easily get hold of my most loved toner - Lush's Breath of Fresh Air as they are no Lush's locally.



I can go to Chester but it's not something we do regularly. So with that in mind I had to try and find a nice natural (if possible) replacement. I couldn't really decide in Boots so I went with the Nivea Pure & Gentle Cleansing Toner and Botanics Rosewater Toner.

Botanics,



Nivea,



Both are great and my face always feels refreshed after using either of them. I've also noticed that it didn't make much of a difference to my skin if I alternated between these in the week. Which is a bonus!

I find that they're both ok for removing any makeup residue thats left but if I'm honest the Botanics Rosewater toner does do a bit of a better job.

Overall they're both gear toners to use especially if you don't want to spend a fortune or have sensitive skin. But if I'm honest I'll be picking up a Breath of Fresh Air as soon as I get a chance. Can't fully describe why, but I just happier with my whole complexion when I use it.

Lush Breath of Fresh Air

Thought I'd do a review of this as I've just finished my first Bottle. So the obvious question that arose was - Do I want to repurchase?

Well firstly the product promises to:

'Tone without tightness. Soften your skin with aloe; feed it with vitamins and minerals. Reduces dryness, soreness and redness'

I've been using this daily since I got it. I use it just before my moisturiser - sprayed directly on to cotton pad and then wiped over mt face (althought some morning I spray it straight on my face and then a bit on a cotton pad and wipe over face)

It can also be sprayed directly on to your face when you need as a mist - also good in the lovely air con offices!

Its got a very refreshing smell - not to strong (which is great for me)

Verdict - Overall I love this product! I suffer from redness around my nose and on my cheeks and I have seen a change in this - not massive but enough! My skin doesn't feel tight after use and its definitley feeling softer. My Skin just looks healthy and feels in much better condition. I just don't think I could be without this is my dailt rountine - so going to repurchase!

Lunchtime outting to......

I absolutely adore Lush – it all smells so yummy and gorgeous!!!! Being the girlie girl that I am, I always go a little bit crazy when I go in hehe!

I only went along today to try out a few products at lunch with my friend but being the weak willed person that am I, I couldn’t help picking up a few bits – Colour Supplement in Light Yellow and Breath of Fresh Air Toner.

Firstly the Colour Supplement...

I have serious problems finding the right colour of foundation or concealer. I have a tendency to look orangey within about an hour or so of putting even the lightest shade on…….soooo not a good look for work haha! Now the idea is that this can either be mixed with your moisturiser, used as a base on it’s on or used on troublesome areas to cover unsightly blemishes. I really like the texture already - which i would describe as more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation. It’s nice and light.

I’ll probably try it as a bit of everything and see which way I prefer using it to start with . I’ll review in more detail once I’ve had a good go with it (my sister has also picked this up as a possible solution to her wedding day makeup, so I’ll hopefully get her opinion on the product as well)

I also picked Breath of Fresh Air – Toner

I read this on a number of reviews now and in particular on Makeup Savvy, where Fee appears to be having the same problems as me with her pores. I have high hopes for this product as it does appear to have worked really well for people. Will let you know soon……..

On a complete and utter qirlie moment – OMG Lip scrub made with exfoliating caster sugar yum yum yum! They come in bugglegum, mint and chocolate and almond and chocolate yummy!
They’re completely edible!!!

I gave them all a go and I could get seriously addicted…..slightly concerned about calorie content though haha!
