    Give your skin the TLC and pampering it deserves with some of these products.

    There's nothing more annoying then after a week-long fight with that sore, red spot, just when you think it's all over, you find yourself left with a nice little dark reminder of what felt like a never-ending battle - well no more thanks to the Dermalogica AGE Bright Spot Fader. This guy works as a two-in-one treatment to both help reduce the appearance of any breakouts and also working to ensure there aren't any post-breakout marks left on your face. The product uses Salicylic Acid to help clear the pimples and then uses a combination of Niacinamide and Hexylresorcinol to reduce any marks and give your skin a nice, even tone.

    Got some fine lines and wrinkles on your neck, chest or hands you're keen to see gone quickly, then check out the Instant Neck, Chest & Hand Left from Skin Doctors. This product aims to do just that and improve your skin texture over time. The product features three roller balls that you roll over the desired areas as you squeeze the tub, which gives a nice cool feeling. The product itself actually smells really good; a bit like how your hair would smell after you've been to the hairdresser and they use all the good, fancy products on it. While I could see a difference once the product had dried, I wasn't a big fan of the feeling I was left with. There was a tight, dry feeling with the product drying matte-like. I personally don't like anything feeling dry on my face, but if that type of sensation doesn't bother you, you might get along with this product.

    This breakthrough product from Medik8 features the molecule retinyl retinoate - this guy helps to give you more even, youthful looking skin by reducing lines and wrinkles while improving the tone, texture and brightness of your skin. Retinyl retinoate is less irritating then retinol, which means this product can be used both day and night. With no parabens, no artificial fragrance, no alcohol and no pathalates, this product was also award the Presidential Award by the Korean Ministry of Health, so you know it's got to be good. You don't need a lot of product to get full face coverage and it sinks in quite quickly and leaves my skin feeling nice and soft. In terms of fragrance, there is a bit of a scent there; I don't really know how to describe it except that it smells how you would expect more clinical product to smell, but not in a bad way.

    There's a been a good mix of products coming through the mail lately, so I wanted to share some of my favourite bits and pieces that I've received.

    Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition

    I've previously talked about this product a couple of times on my blog before. This product takes their regular Balancing Mist and combines it with a blend of four unique Rose extracts that will allow the product to not only hydrate and refresh your skin but uplift your mood and relax your mind at the same time - the perfect thing for a stressful day. I always like to use their Mist as a part of my skincare routine as a toner so I get a good hit of hydration (and now relaxation) each morning and night.

    This skincare brand has quickly become one of my favourite. While I know they sit on the more expensive side of the scale, every time I use their products my skin reacts so well and always looks its best when I have one of their products in rotation in my skincare routine.
    This is their original hyaluronic acid serum but supercharged! This product combines their original formula with Natural Moisturising Factors including sodium PCA, glycerin, urea, proteins, sugars, amino acids, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, creatine and more to give your skin a real hydration boost.
    I found this product to be a thicker type of serum but still super easy to spread. It feels very hydrating and gives a cooling sensation on the skin as it sinks in nicely. It also didn't have any scent that I noticed.


    Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip

    If you ever need a solid lip product, I've found you can't go past Bobbi Brown. Their new Crushed Liquid Lip is basically a hybrid of a liquid lip, a balm and a lip gloss and they are also paraben-free, phthalate-free, sulfite-free, talc-free, mineral oil-free and gluten-free. The lovely team sent me three shades and I honestly loved all of them - Juicy Date for a more natural, everyday type of shade, Bitter Sweet as a nice way to add a pop of interesting colour without being overly bold and Cherry Crush for a nice classic and striking red. I found all of them applied smoothy and evenly and dry down well without feeling super drying on the lips and as if they might crack.
