Clear Skin :)

Yes! My skin has finally recovered, which I think is due to a combination of things.
I have finally found a moisturiser that actually clears up my spots rather than breaking me out - which is Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil Free Moisturiser. £3.83 for 50ml - I'm not sure how quickly I'll get through this but I bought it a week ago so will let you know.

I started using cotton wool pads with Liz Earle which have kind of been ok for the past week. I will definitely be purchasing a new bottle along with some new muslin cloths though so I can start cleansing thoroughly again.

FYI - I have used both the 100ml pump and 200ml tube before - I always thought the tube would be a more cost-friendly option as you could get all of it out by squeezing and then screwing the top off and scooping the rest out, however.. I have just finished my 100ml pump and prised it open with a knife (a bit drastic I know but it's all in the name of research) and the pump actually has a sort of balloon inside that inflates, I presume each time you "pump" the bottle, so actually when you finish the bottle and can no longer get any out, it's because the bottle definitely is empty.

(sorry for the lack of pictures taken) my camera is coming up with "lens error" so I need to get that fixed this week

Finally, since I got back to Uni last week, I have been using my Bare Minerals Introductory Kit.

This is just amazing. I got a Debenhams voucher for christmas so used it to buy this set. It's quite pricey at £45, but I was out of foundation so needed a new one and have always been very intrigued by the Bare Minerals brand.

The kit I got was the light one, and it contains:

2 x Foundation Shades (Fairly Light & Light)

Mineral Veil

Warmth

Full Coverage Kabuki Brush

Flawless Application Face Brush

Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush

Bare Vitamins Skin Rev-er Upper

Get Started DVD

Once I have my camera back I will do a review of this kit with pictures of the products and before and after.

For the moment I will leave you with my current skin routine which seems to be working very nicely for me :)

Night: Remove makeup with simple cleansing facial wipes (I wet these with warm water at the end and go over my face once more to really remove everything)

Apply Neutrogena moisturiser all over face

Morning: Cleanse with Liz Earle Cleanser before showering

Dry face after shower and apply skin rev-er upper

Use Bare Minerals foundation with swirl tap buff method

I will go back to posting more frequently after my last exam tomorrow.

In 24 hours time I will be a very happy girl!
