Mini skincare haul



Hello all! I decided to add a few bits to my skincare collection, I am pretty obsessed with my skin and constantly on the hunt for the next best thing. I have products which range from high end to high street and I mix it up most months depending on budget. This month I have invested in a higher end serum and moisturiser and a lower end cleanser, toner and mist.
Cleanser wise I am waiting for the very popular Emma Hardie cleansing balm to come into stock and the Pixi Glow toner which was recommended to me by the beautiful Rougepout. I would normally go for Clarins Extra Comfort Cleanser and Clarins Gentle Exfoliating toner but with spending a rather large sum on a serum and moisturiser I thought I would try something a little less hurtful on my bank balance,until then I decided to go for the Super Facialist Rose Hydrate Calming Creamy Cleanser by Una Brennan and the L'Oreal Age Perfect Refreshing Toner... Which is Caroline Hirons approved before you all gasp in horror! I also decided to try the La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water instead of my Aveda Toning Mist.
Lastly I purchased the very popular Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair which has had amazing reviews and also a new moisturiser launched which is the Revitalising Supreme which I can't wait to start using tonight! I will trying all these products over the next few months and giving my thoughts on them, I will also be waiting in anticipation for my Emma Hardie balm and Pixi Glow to compare high and lower end brands.

List of products all purchased from Boots:

Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Cleanser £7.99
L'Oreal Age Perfect Refreshing Toner £3.19 on offer from £4.79
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water £7.50 
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Recovery Complex £48.00
Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Creme on offer at £36.00 

What are your favourite skincare brands?

  1. I used th advanced night repair for a while. It worked great for a while but then I isn't find it to be working as well on me and it started to irritate my skin. I have really fussy skin though. When it was working it was amazing! Skin looked great and everyone noticed so it must have been good. Great post though hun. Loved it xx

    1. I used it for a while quite a few years ago them stopped, I do find that skin gets used to one thing so I like to mix mine up a bit, I have quite a few cleansers and toners on the go now as I found my skin was not getting the benefit when I used all the same products, my purse won't allow my high end stuff all the time so it's nice to find alternatives. Thanks for the comment *hug* xxx

  2. I'm waiting for the Emma Hardie cleanser too! I recently got the L'Oreal Misellar water and its great, so I'd definitely give the toner ago - always a winner if Caroline's says yes to it ;)
