Gatineau Radiance Enhancing Gommage Exfoliator Review

I know another skincare review! I promise I will review more makeup (I have tons and tons of MAC lipsticks to show you, I promise!) But at the moment, my main concentration has definitely been skincare. Mostly because having a baby completely messed my skin up and because I no longer have time to do a full face of makeup, I really try to concentrate on my skin.

So, next up, we have the Gatineau Radiance Enhancing Gommage Exfoliator this is great for anyone looking for a gentle exfoliator for sensitive skin.

A great factor of this product is the fact that it doesn't contain micro-beads, making it gentle on the skin and good for the environment too!

Its main purpose is to melt away dead skin cells upon application without the need for scrubbing your face till your skin falls off.

So, I have been currently using this twice a week: I apply it to dry, cleansed skin, just before getting in the shower. The gel is almost pearlescent to look at and when massaged onto the skin it quickly begins to liquefy.

It is so gentle on the skin it doesn't remind me of any exfoliator that I have ever used. Most other exfoliators tend to use micro-beads to scrub the skin of any dry skin/dead skin cells. This gel exfoliator on the other hand uses, 'special exfoliating active ingredients, namely, enzymes and AHA's to remove any impurities from the skin.

My sensitive skin loves this. I have very red, often sore skin so finding a gentle exfoliator has been troublesome. However this ticks all the boxes for me.

Ones the gel has completely liquefied (usually after a minute of gentle rubbing) I hop into the shower and remove the product. My skin always feels noticeably softer and brighter after using this. It doesn't leave my skin feeling sore, red or sensitive after use either

After using skin definitely looks that little bit brighter (mostly because the exfoliator is packed full of Vitamin C, which makes skin look and feel brighter, leaving you will a lovely 'glow'

My skin loves this exfoliator because its so gentle, I don't have to worry about my skin reacting to it, or looking blotchy after using it. I also love that its leaves my skin feeling soft and supple.

If you have sensitive skin and need a gentle exfoliator which actually leaves skin feeling softer and more moisturised then this is the one for you.

MAC Strobe Cream Mini Review

Strobing is something I'd never even heard of until I started watching Rupauls Drag Race a few years ago (in the Sharon Needles Era: AKA the good ol' days!) Strobing has been described as overdone highlighting: However strobing to me is not only highlighting certain facial features but also adding dimension and texture to the area too. Admittedly, its not something I would bother doing every day. But on special occasions I like to highlight my favourite features (usually my cheekbones) I received the MAC Strobe Cream as a little try-out sample after buying too many lipsticks over on the MAC website. I was pretty chuffed as I've wanted to try out the Strobe Cream for ages now! MAC describe the Strobe Cream as 'a moisturiser that boosts the look of dull skin and luminises with iridescent particles' So perfect for my tired skin that needs a bit of a boost! I love the little packaging, in fact I would say I'm a bit obsessed with miniature ve...

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer Review

I'm obsessed with concealers, and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect one! I currently use the Nars Radiant Concealer ( Review Here ) for under my eyes and the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer for spots etc. I recently purchased the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer as I'd read good reviews online and I wash hoping it might be a dupe for my trusty Nars Concealer. Firstly there is one massive downside to this concealer: There are only THREE Shades! That just seems lazy! Especially in this day and age where you can purchase some concealers which have over 30 shades to choose from! I have the shade 'Light' and for once, it is indeed actually Light! It's gorgeously pale (it may even be too pale for some people, so I would suggest swatching it next to the other shades if unsure) It is specifically designed for the delicate eye area and it offers 24 hour hydration to the area around the eyes to offer hydration throughout the day, leaving eyes...

Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil Review

An oil for your face? Yes, Yes, Yes! If you would have told me years ago, when I was a hormonal teenager with many breakouts to use oil on my face I would have laughed at you, but the Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil, has made such a difference to my skin, I am a complete oil convert. I have quite red, sensitive, often sore skin and this calms it right down. Its deeply nourishing and hydrating. I've heard it described as a conditioner for the skin. I usually use it a night when my skin is looking dry and frazzled. As you can see with the roller-ball application, you just roll it onto the skin (I swipe across each cheek and my forehead) and then gently massage into the skin. Its just such a gorgeous and luxurious feeling treat for the skin. It has never broke me out and it has kept my skin feeling and looking a lot more luminous. It doesn't make my skin shinny and doesn't leave any kind of weird residue on the skin; leaving my skin feeling moisturised and l...
