La Rochelle, cast your eye, this is one to try

Hey Everyone,

So it has been a hectic few weeks sorting the house situation (finally going to have the house to ourselves!!) and getting my adult on, sorting life when the car decides to give in 😲 but at long last I feel I am getting somewhere. All of the adulting aside (which I feel I am getting the hang of at almost 25) I have had a few things to share with you all. Today's post is short and mainly one focusing on one product and how I found it, 

*IT IS ..... La Rochelle One Step Express Cleansing Gel   http://larochelleskincare.com/*

The claim is 2 minuets to clean and polished skin => The result is just that sooth and fresh skin with no irritation. I was lucky to receive the gift of  three small tubs of the 2 minute cleanser. Best advise is to use a small amount on Dry skin, it comes out as a gel fro the tube and on massaging into the skin melts into a liquid which works to dissolve dead skin cells leaving a smoother complexion with less visible pores and dissolved blackheads (unfortunately it made little to no difference as my pores as small to start with). The blackheads reduce after a few uses which was great but the main one is smoothness which is instant !!!

The ingredients are also a great combination which give the skin a little bit extra; Hyaluronic acid which promotes collagen (allowing for a youthful appearance), Aloe Vera to gently sooth and reduce redness, Horse Chestnut extract which has anti-inflammatory properties calming the skin and reducing puffiness.

Suitable for all skin types and is perfect for sensitive skin, that being said ensure to use it as directed for your skin type ;

•  For dry and sensitive skin: Use 1-2 times weekly 
• For oily skin: Use 2 times daily 
• For combination skin: Use 1-2 times daily.

I can assure you it is a great product after using over the course of three weeks, I have felt the benefits of this product also it has one really fun and unique feature going for it. When applied and massaged into the skin it begins to clump and you can see the dead skin cells being lifted from the face and the evidence in the sink (never seen before and it is not a gimmick as I tested does it just react like this so i rubbed the product onto a section of a tile and a glass shelf and no clumping) This product lived up to the description and my hopes for it.

Retailing at $9.95 for 10ml or $19 for three 10ml it is well worth the price tag as a little goes a long way and the results speak for themselves. 

I will post a blog on my recent dermaplaning adventure soon (it was an experience) 

Chat soon, and love yourself !!

Birchbox makes every month a little happier, here is why;

Hello Hello,

I must say all of my best laid plans had to be up-heaved the last few weeks as a result of training and interviews :O so a hectic time was had (I say frazzled and in need of some much needed TLC and beautifying). Any of you beautiful followers on +Snapchat  and +Instagram (links to my accounts below stop by it can be entertaining at times at the least it is informative)  will have been lucky to catch glimpses of me coffee drenched or attempting to give beauty first aid to myself, playing catch up to get rid of blemishes and erase the tired look while de-puffing the entire face and de-pandafying (it is becoming an official word watch this space 😉) my poor eyes. (How you ask) I used lots of cold collagen eye masks and face masks, along with soothing face masks from +Dr.Hauschka  while getting my clothes ready for work and constant spritzing of moisturizing face mist in an attempt to keep up with the Jones. All very worth it as I had a very nice break away just after Christmas Day to the Maldives which I will be doing an individual blog post on as it was amazing. The blog post will detail what I used travelling to and from the Islands, what I tested while at the Airports what I used on the Island and when I got home how I stayed radiant.

That being said as I promised I would tell you about the my embarking into the world of the +Birchbox. To say I am loving it is an understatement, it is one of those things especially when you are beauty product mad that when it gets delivered each month it gives a little excited butterfly feeling of what new products there will be to try. I love the idea that you are not tied into a specific durational contract if you want to cancel after a month that is perfectly fine or if you would like to carry on month after month they will just take the money from your account no hassle. This alone made life easy, but also the customer care staff were at hand and happy to answer any and all of my queries around payments and cancellations (which I won't be doing anytime soon). 

          The groundwork is as follows go online to www.birchbox.com and you can browse but if you want just select Men/Women and click the subscription tab this will ask to sign up a few details roughly two minutes but worth it and no commitment unless you want to purchase a subscription (HIGHLIGHT can cancel after the first month if you wish to do so). Once the e-mail is confirmed you are free to browse as they sell full sized products of all of their samples and offer a selection of subscription options. I began my subscription in September and was just testing the water a bit with the intention to cancel after the first month but here we are in January and I am officially hooked.I went for the women's +Birchbox  as I found that you luck ladies get a lot more skin care goodies that appeal to me to try and let you all know about. There are also a few items of makeup but my sister has decided that it is a good idea if I give them to her as I would be wasting them otherwise (so it's a double gift some for me and some for my sister). 

          Each box for the Women £13 including post & packaging which is around €16 per month depending on the exchange rate each month. each box contains between 5 and 6 items ranging from serums to lip sticks to makeup brushes and body butters and a range of other lovely little skin beauties. Also each box contains at least one full size product which makes it all the more worthwhile. The booklets with each box are fab as they give details on each product as well as hints and tips for skincare or make up application in relation to what products are within the box. Another helpful hint is there is a price per full size of each product also displayed beside their description in the booklet so you know what to expect to pay if you wish to repurchase. 

         On a final note: I love receiving the monthly boxes they have a dual purpose also. Each box is designed beautifully and looks cute so once you have taken out your products you can reuse the boxes as they are designed like mini drawers. I find they are god to use to store face masks or they could be handy for brushes or lip liners or in an office handy for pens, pencils or stacks of post its. I would highly recommend you try +Birchbox  even for one month I assure you it will not be a waste. As for me I am going to look into purchasing both the women's and Men's boxes and see how it goes for me (as always I will keep you amazing people posted of my experience). For the new year I encourage to always put your best face forward and show the world what you are made of <3

Can't wait to tell you all about my travels and what I got up to and how I cared for my skin along the way. 

Chat to you soon !!

Welcome to Skincare, Dunne that!

Hey,

So I have contemplated this for a little while and decided to give it a go, so welcome to the first of hopefully many insightful, interactive and informative posts by moi. I personally own a million and one personal care products (slight exaggeration !) but none the less I own a lot of them and I am constantly buying and trying new products on a weekly basis. I own and buy everything indulging from head to toe for both the men and women, depending on how I personally found they worked. As a result of allowing the inner indulgence of myself I thought it selfish not to share it with the wider world.

          For the last few years I have been the one in the group that would always have a hint or tip on hand for an array of skin issues from the inside out and the outside in. I am now known as the bag man as I work long shifts and carry bags of lotions and potions to have my skin looked after to the very best for what ever a day or shift may throw at me. I have also become the person to call for advice on any products to do with personal care including information on any new products which  may be coming out and giving samples of my newly bought products. 

          I am an avid lover of the self and how to feel and look our best for the general day to day and events but mainly to love ourselves in our most exposing organ that is the skin. My hope is to be able to give each and every person that visits my blog advice and tips on the skin from anything I have read or researched (so you hopefully won't have to) to recommendations of the newest products to try out there to best look after our skin. With that said stay tuned for the future posts, I hope each and everyone of you enjoy.
