Lifes Little Essentials.....

These are products that I use every day but I haven't blogged about them before as they probably aren't the most exciting....but I thought I should write more about the boring every day products. 

First up is Baby Oil - I love this, I usually use it on my skin after a shower, I put it on to wet skin and it really absorbs the moisture and leaves a lovely little shine!! I know lots of people use this as eye make up remover...I don't I think it would be too messy for that! However I wouldn't be using this on my skin in the hot weather (where is it today) as the oil would make it BURN!!

Next up is Mitchum Roll-On ..... I also find this very good, Mitchum is on of the only products I really find works.  I also use the Mitchum Aerosol however my faith in them has been squashed in recent times as when they are half full they would just stop working!!! This happened many times!!

My absolute essentials......last ones standing.

As you know I have been busy moving the last while and I am now left with the bare minimum here...so I thought I would show you what I couldn't live without in my final few nights!!

I couldn't live a night without my Coconut Oil which I blogged about on my second ever post.....HERE.

Then my Revlon Equave Two Phase Spray Conditioner....Love this, its great for my blonde hair!

A back up hand cream, I usually have Clarins in my bag but its handy to have a back up...just in case, I love the Neutrogena Hand cream for this.

Next is my trusty...Batiste Dry Shampoo  - couldn't be caught short without this!

Then you will see a little tub of vaseline and a tub of cotton buds, I love cleaning my ears after a shower! Don't ask me why!

An last but not least my famous La Roche Posay Moisturisers!

Make-up is gone as I brought all that home the other day.....I was so afraid I would damage my lovely make up storage in the move but I didn't - it survived!! TG.

I forgot to take a  pic of my shampoo, conditioner and shower gel......but they aren't overly exciting!!

Glamour Magazine - Freebies :)

I bought this months issue of Glamour today, and I was delighted when I flicked to the back pages and saw what is going to be given free with June's issue - Benefit's High Beam, BeneTint and PosieTint and I cannot wait!

 Don't worry Ill be reminding all of you to buy the magazine when it comes out!

There were two little samples in my magazine - A Veet Minimising Body Moisturiser and a Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturiser!  I used to use Cliniques moisuresurge as my everyday moisturiser so I am looking forward to testing this out.

Ill be posting when I trial them - to let you know what I think! :)

The fight against SPOTS!

I know I have told you before that I was on Roaccutane last year for acne (which was very mild and localised to the chin) which cleared it up perfectly (a post is to come on this) but in the past month or two I have noticed little tiny lumpy bumps under the skin on my forehead, I have no idea what caused them as my skincare has been the same.  They do not develop into spots, they are just sitting under the skin and in certain lights they are very noticeable. 

So off I headed to my local chemist to see if I could get sometime to bring the lumps up to the top of the skin - Of course I wanted La Roche Posay as I grew to love their products while I was on the Roaccutane and I really believe in them!

So I was given samples of two products Effaclar K and Effaclar Duo to try out! 

So I tried the Effaclar K one first, they advised that I try this first and see how it goes.  Basically it is supposed to improve the skins appearance by unclogging pores.  I used it for a few nights and didn't notice much of an effect!  Perhaps it was a little too gentle for my clogged up skin!

So on Saturday I decided to try the Effaclar Duo - it is described as being Corrective and Unclogging Anti-Imperfection Care.  It is the stronger product. 

Today is Tuesday so I have been using for four days and I really notice the difference.  I know this is a little disgusting but the lumps on my forehead are now starting to come to the top - I can see the pores opening up, they seem to be slightly water filled and not black/white heads.    I am amazed at how quickly this worked bearing in mind that I have only been using a sample size and have not bought the actual product yet! 

Have any of you used this product?
Or have you suffered the lovely little spots I'm trying to explain??
