It's Potent

Hello my lovelies! I'm always looking for skincare products to try out, and earlier this year, i bought a set of Benefits Skincare luxury sized samples. One of my favorite products from the bunch was It's Potent, so i thought I'd share with you my thoughts! 

When perusing the shelves, trying to pick out an eye cream, i tend to stay away from thick heavy creams! I much prefer light creams, as thick, gloopy  creams cause me to break out under my eyes. I end up with lot's of small spots, and its just not pretty! In comparison to other eye creams I've tried, It's Potent is actually fairly light. Don't get me wrong though, when you put it on you can still feel it on your eyes, but it's not sticky or a hindrance!

I always apply my eye cream after cleansing before i go to bed, i definitely find that that's enough to keep my under eye area in good shape! When i wake up, after application, i can certainly tell the difference! The skin is nourished, and i have no dry or flaky patches! 

It smells fairly nice too, which is a plus point, there's nothing worse than a great product that doesn't smell good! It's potent definitely isn't the cheapest of eye creams on the market, and you could probably get one much cheaper at £25.50, but if you've tried everything else on the shelves, and nothings working, I'd definitely recommend you give this a go!

Updated Skincare 'System'

*not a review, a regime*

Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry its been a while, i'm planning on having an 'admin' post up next, explaining the situation, so bare with. 

I thought i'd come back with a 'bang' so to speak, and i'm going to share with you my 'Skincare System'. A few months ago, i had a really bad outbreak of spots, which i think is down to stress and eating unhealthily, but i thought it was time to raise the skin care game, and blast them spots!

I'm really happy with the outcome of the 'switch up' as I've discovered some truly great products that are definitely worth purchasing!

Face wash: So the face wash I've been using recently is this Moisturizing Facial Wash by Simple. If you've been reading from me for a while you'll know i'm a big fan of the Simple products. And this ones no different, i lather it up with water smother it all allover my face, and Bobs my uncle. *Cleany Clean Clean Face*

Moisturizing Prep: So before i purchase the Benefit skincare mini's i'd never really heard of moisturizing prep, but i'm so glad i've discovered it! I apply it before my moisturizer, and it just seems to help my moisturizer moisturize? I love it and i would consider buying it full size!

Day cream: I picked this up from The Original Factory Shop for just £1 and jumped at the chance to try it. It gets the job done. It contains pomegranate oils, which help to moisturize! The thing i loveabout this cuticuraone is the fact that it doesn't make me look really oily, which trust me, is a very difficult ask with my skin.

Eye cream: Currently, i'm using the It's Potent eye cream by Benefit! I mainly use this in a morning to awaken my eye area, an add extra moisture (i don't think i could possible incorporate that word anymore. Haha) I'm not a huge fan of the really thick eye creams, so this ones a winner because it's nice and light!

Lip Balm: Now, as you all probably know, BABY LIPS came to the UK a while ago, and i was desperate to try them, as there was so much hype around them in America! I first bought, the cherry one and loved it so went back to pick up just a plain nourishing one! I came back with this minty one and its changed my life for the better! I Love it!

Spot Gel: So to wrap things up we come to the 'Spot zapping gel' In terms of 'spot zapping' this one is a gem! Both me and one of my closest friends use this to fight those foes! And whats better? Its under £1... what a bargain! 

Hope you've enjoyed the post!

Purchase of The Week #2

Bonjour, my little beauties!

This week, i did yet more shopping... Oops! My favourite (and practically only) purchase this week was the Benefit Skincare Six Piece Set. I've been drooling over this practically since it came out, and i decided it was time i bit the bullet and bought it! It was £12.50 from boots, which in my opinion is good value, 4 of the products are in lovely, blue tinge glass packaging, which i adore. 

My friend also bought one of these, and the lovely benefit lady booked us (and 3 other friends!) in for a eye makeover!  And i'm certainly looking forward to it! I will probably blog about it so be on the lookout for that!

As for the products, i obviously haven't had time to try them out, but they all smell delightful! The Packaging is a real eye pleaser, and gives a really relaxed clean vibe, different to anything else of Benefit's. All the products come in a small clear makeup bag, which is perfect for traveling!

So far, i'm thinking i'm going to love this, my skin isn't particularly sensitive, so the products shouldn't react, but we shall see.

Hope you liked today's post guys!
