Paula's Choice Haul

I love a good skincare shopping spree. I treated myself this month to a Paula's Choice order. For those who've never heard of it before, Paula's Choice is a skincare company from the US created by Paula Begoun. They use ingredients that will help make your skin look younger and radiant and also help fight acne. I adore this company's ethics, as they don't test on animals, and they want the customer to be satisfied, they offer sample sachets of nearly all their products. All their products are fragrance free, and also free from colourants and ingredients that can harm the skin.

Here's what I bought:

Full size products:


 I bought two full size products in my Paula's Choice haul. I bought the Calm Redness Relief Cleanser Normal to Oily Skin and the Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner. I've tried a few samples of the cleanser before, and it's perfect for what my skin needs. It's gentle and cleansing, yet it doesn't strip my skin of it's natural oils. It leaves my skin cleansed and refreshed. I'm trialling this at the moment, but I don't think I'll have a bad reaction to it. I recently tried two samples of the toner, and my word, it is hydrating. My skin feels wonderful after using this. I'm going to use this on days where my skin feels dry after work.

I also added a few samples of four other products to my order. I got two samples of the Calm Redness Relief Moisturiser Normal to Dry Skin, I'm excited to try this as I enjoyed the samples of the Normal to Oily skin version, but I want something a bit more hydrating. I also got two samples of the Calm Redness Relief Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin. I also got two samples of the Skin Recover Replenishing Moisturiser and two samples of the Resist Anti-Aging Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner. I am very excited to try all of these samples.

Thanks for reading!

The Product:  SVR describes this as a dry touch fluid that leaves a matt, non-greasy and non-sticky finish.

Show me your SPF

Image
Sorry for being a bit MIA recently. I've gotten more hours at work recently as people are leaving or on holiday, so that means more hours for me. I've forgotten about my blog because of this, but I am back now and hoping to do one post a week. In other news, I set up a separate Instagram account solely devoted to skincare. Here's a link to my new Instagram account  I thought I'd make a post about my current collection of SPF. I feel it's important to wear SPF everyday to help prevent premature ageing and to also protect my skin from the harmful damage the sun can do to skin. I'm currently using the Anthelios XL Ultra Light Fluid SPF50 from La Roche Posay. I enjoy using this sunscreen but I can't wait to try new sunscreens after finishing this one. I use this everyday before I go out to work or before I take my dog for a walk. I like this as it provides a barrier between my skin and the drying air from the air con at work. It's also a very good sunscr...

In the test queue - REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk

Image
I like to try out new products, but I have to introduce them slowly to try and prevent any major reactions to products. I patch test every new product in the same area, my cheek, chin and nose. My chin and nose are where I experience any breakouts, if I have one. My cheek is where I experience no breakouts, so I test there to see if a new product would cause a breakout in that area, and if it did, the product would be unsuitable for me. I patch test new products for four weeks, to give my skin time to react to the product. I'm currently testing the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk . Although it's called a cleansing milk, it has much more of a whipped texture, like a cream, more than a milk. I like the pump packaging, it's very efficient. My first impressions of this product were disappointing. I had such high hopes for this product. It sinks in quite quickly once massaged onto the skin, and it comes off easily with a face cloth, but it's just disappointing. ...
