The Product:  SVR describes this as a dry touch fluid that leaves a matt, non-greasy and non-sticky finish. One of the things that interested me about this sunscreen is it's claims that it protects against Infrared and Visible Light, as well as UVA & UVB rays.

Well, another month has come to an end. May has been a decent month for me, I finally started my driving lessons and I'm enjoying it. I am going to try and post on here more often. First up is skincare empties, I didn't finish many skincare products in May. Caudalie Moisturising Toner - I did not like this. I used this as a body mist to use it up. It didn't really seem to have any benefits to it. I will not purchase this again. Etude House Sunprise Must Daily Lotion SPF50+ - This was a nice lightweight sunscreen. It left no white cast, and it contains no Avobenzone which is what I want in a sunscreen. The reason I won't be purchasing this again was it left my skin too shiny after I had applied it.  La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume - I love this stuff. It's really great at helping damaged skin heal a lot faster than if it was left on it's own. I use this predominantly on my arms on any scratches and scraps I have. I will always have this in my skincare col

Well, I know this is a bit late considering May is nearly over. But I forgot to write any blog posts. Oops. I am going to try and write a few posts and publish one each week. That way there will be no silence on here for weeks on end, like there has been. First up is my skincare empties for April: First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 56.7g - I did not like this as a face cleanser. But my hands loved it as a hand wash. A nice creamy texture, but it lathers very easily. I will not be buying it again.  La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser 40ml - My skin seems to respond so well to this. I've tried other moisturisers but nothing compares. I'll contain to repurchase this.  Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner 190ml - This toner is the best. It's so underestimated. I love it. It contains Niacinamide, a stable form of Vitamin C, Borage Seed Oil and Evening Primrose Oil. My skin looks and feels good after using this. I liked to use this on a morning befo

I'm currently testing the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. I was browsing on YesStyle one day and this brand caught my attention. I've seen people rave about Klairs Supple Preparation Toner but I'd never seen anyone mention any of their other products. I decided to buy this as well as buying the popular Supple Preparation Toner. Klairs describe this as a gentle aqueous serum which helps replenish moisture and soothe the skin. I'm currently loving hydrating products at the minute so I decided to start testing this. My first thoughts are that this has a nice consistency. I've been using this on a night to start with, I may add it into my morning routines once I know it's not going to break me out. This is feels so light and absorbs so easily. I'm really liking it so far. I particularly like to use this on the nights where I use a BHA as my skin can feel a bit dry from using it. I feel like this is helping improve my moisture levels. My skin can feel so d

I made an order on Easyparapharmacie recently for a few items. I needed another tube of my go to SPF at the minute, the SVR Sebiaclear SPF50 Creme. I love this so much. I know FeelUnique have started stocking it, but I can get it for a lower price on Easyparapharmacie. As well as buying my favourite SPF, I bought two other SVR SPFs to try. The SVR Sun Secure Fluide SPF50 is something I'm excited to try. I've tried this on the back of my hand so far, and it is very fluid, true to it's name. I love the fact that SVR don't use Avobenzone in any of their SPFs. Avobenzone irritates my skin a lot, and my skin has felt a lot better since using SPFs without that ingredient in them. I'm also intrigued by their claim that they not only protect against UVA and UVB damage, but also protect against damage from Visible Light and Infrared. I'm currently testing this at the minute, and I'll make a post with my thoughts on it in a few weeks time. I also bought the SVR

Well another month has flown over. I swear it was only the beginning of March last week. Crazy. Anyway, here's my monthly empties post. Skincare Empties: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream 56.7g - I bought myself a First Aid Beauty gift set last year and I tried this on my skin and it seemed too much for the skin on my face, but this was perfect for my body. I used this every time I got out of the shower and it left my skin moisturised. I probably won't be repurchasing it though. La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser 40ml - This is my go to moisturiser. I've tried others but nothing compares. I will repurchase it in the future and I have moved onto a new tube of this.  Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Moisturiser Normal to Dry Skin 60ml - This is nice moisturiser, but it's too rich for my skin. So to use it up I used it on my body.  This was nice but I won't be buying it again.  REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 25ml - I've tried this b
