Could honey save your dry skin? Good Things face wash review

Hi,

This week is another review on the good things skincare brand. Sorry its a bit repetitive but A reminded me how much I love my Good Things Manuka Honey Creamy Cleanser and Refining Scrub

Alice Hart-Davis created the brand in 2010, which you can purchase from boots here

On the Good Things website they say:

GOOD THINGS is all about simple, effective and affordable skincare, with the added benefits of natural ingredients that can deliver genuine beauty benefits and keep the skin clear, healthy and radiant.

We launched with the SUPERFRUITS collection, designed to target problem skin and much loved for its super-effective results. Now, we have expanded our offering with our brilliant MANUKA HONEY and ARGAN OIL ranges.

Creamy Cleanser

I found this cleanser in TKMaxx about  a year ago and decided to buy it because my other face wash was running out. I love anything honey so this was perfect and it was even better that it doesn't test on animals either (no cruelty to the bees). As well as being vegetarian (the other ranges are vegan), they also only put 'Good things' into their products.

The Good Things range is targeted at people with oily to combination skin.  Within the brand, they have three ranges: Superfruits for young problematic skin; Manuka Honey for first signs of ageing; Argan Oil for keeping older skin radiant.

I just want to mention that I do not have ageing skin. The face wash said it would hydrate my skin which is what I need for my skin type (dry combination).

This face wash hydrates my skin meaning that once my face has been washed, it doesn't feel tight and stripped of all its oils. This face wash contains royal jelly and beeswax, which have great moisturising and protective properties. It smells delicious, hydrates my skin and its affordable, not to mention it is made of natural ingredients. After purchasing this product three times over the past year, I think this is my all time favourite face wash.

Refining Scrub

I picked up this scrub whilst repurchasing the face wash for the second time. I hate using face scrubs usually because they irritate my skin so I use skeptical about using this product. I bought it anyway as I loved the face wash and trusted the brand.

This product contains oatmeal and sweet almond oil as well as manuka honey. The oatmeal is meant to eliminate dead skin cells and the sweet almond oils contains nourishing and moisturising properties.

I love this scrub as it is not too harsh, smells amazing and leaves a moisturising residue so my face doesn't dry out, not forgetting the glow it leaves my skin.  I will definitely repurchase this product.

Thanks -C

Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser

Hi again -A here x

Today i'm going to be talking to you about the Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser with superfruit extracts- BLACKCURRANT AND GOJI BERRY.

-C actually gave me this moisturiser as she said that she would recommend it for my skin type. It smells soooo nice and whilst even writing this blog post im smelling it . Since -C has given me this product I have used it a lot as its perfectly good for your skin and it really works.

I use it all the time and I would really recomment it to anyone who has oily/combinational skin. The make Good Things doesn't test on animals or have animal ingerdients and is paraben free! This means it is 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is quickly absorbed to hydrate your skin. It also helps absorb any excess oil so your skin stays smooth and matte and is less prone to breakouts.

I really love this product and it has definitely made me interested in the brand Good Things. You can purchase it online by searching in Good Things mirical mattifier moistuirser.

Bye

Water and Beauty

Hi guys!


Sorry the post is late this week, I was just really busy last night.
I'm going to talk about something a little different today... Drinking water and how it links to beauty.

I am really bad at drinking water throughout the day, I know this is so bad for me, I just can't remember or just can't be bothered.

Benefits of water:

Water doesn't just stop yourself dying if thirst...

• Water gives you clear skin- if you start to drink around 6-8 glasses of water a day you should see your skin becoming much clearer. This is because the water flushes out the toxins in your body

• When skin is hydrated your skin looks more alive and wrinkles and pores seem less prominent. Some people believe this is because water plumps up the skin, filling in these wrinkles and pores.

• Dehydration makes your skin look dry and wrinkled

• Not drinking enough water can give you health problems. Like asthma, allergy and migraines 

• Your skin will be soft and glowing 

So how can you drink more water?

• Have a drink in the morning as soon as you wake up
• Eat fruits and veg that contain high amounts of water (strawberries, watermelon, cucumbers)
• Make detox waters (put fruits into your water- there are many different recipes) to make you drink more interesting
• Buy or make your own marked water bottle (I actually tried this method and it did work until the pen rubbed off). This will cause you to see drinking water as a challenge that you want to complete 
• Drink a glass of water with every meal
• Go drink some now after reading this post

Drinking water is the cheapest way to have nice skin, it costs nothing but leaves your skin glowing.

REVIEW: COOLEST LIP-GLOSSES EVER!!!

Hi girls,

Today, I am reviewing the NEW CID i-Gloss Light up gloss with mirror!!!!!. 

The founder of NEW CID is Kelly Colman. Her makeup line is to help empower woman. She wanted to make it simplistic, wearable and easy to apply.

The lipgloss colours I used were called

Cherry Pop and Blondie

I'm really sorry that I can't add pictures because my computer isn't working but you can click the links to see what colours these lipglosses are.

I really like these lip glosses because they aren't very sticky, they have lots of pigmentation and come with a built in mirror and light!!!!

I think that the built in mirror and light make these lipglosses so unique. The light is under the lid so when you are applying this lipgloss you can see what you are doing. Also the mirror makes these so much easier to apply and you don't have to search around at the bottom of your bag for a separate one!!!

These cost £17 each which you can buy from here

Also if you don't like lipgloss they make lipsticks with built in mirror and light!!!

Also I'm sorry I can't get pictures to work at the moment. I should be able to get it to work by the next time I write a blog!!!
