Re-Gen Skin Radiance Daily Face and Neck Serum

So few weeks ago I was dawdling round Asda (doing a food shop honestly) and as per usual I stumbled into the beauty section (was there for ages) and this lovely product caught my eye.

2 words on the front of the box that stood out most about this product was anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation, well who doesn't want those 2 things? My skin had been acting up a little recently, I think it might be down to stress and the increase in temperature at workies. I do eat relatively healthy during weekdays (obviously allowed a treat at weekend) and I drink plenty water, but sometimes our skin just decides to be temperamental. As I was reading the box I noticed it mentioned how life can sometimes take its toll and how it can affect your skin, this little beauty helps putting beauty back in to beautiful skin with a formula that states works wonders. Well I was sold and it was put straight into my trolley. 

Here's a little run down of what the Serum intends to do to your skin

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by aiding your skins elasticity.
• Your skin will feel firm and naturally hydrated.
• Helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation marks.
• Your skin will fell tighter and appear rejuvenated within 7 days of use.
• Light texture and quick absorption allows for deeper skin penetration and comfortable use.

Sounds awesome right?! I loved the sound of this product, especially the reduction of the appearance of any blemishes and pigmentation as I do have some scarring from previous breakouts that I thought this could also help out with.

Now for a little bit of the science this serum contains an active ingredient called PCL Liquid which is an ingredient that locks in natural moisture to the skin which helps with skin regeneration and repair. It also contains Vitamin E which is an anti oxidant and helps fight the signs of ageing.

The packing of this product is pretty simple in its 50ml pump bottle with little sections of orange, its a product that probably likes to keep packaging nice and simple with it having lots of goodness in the inside, reminds me of bio oil. I have been using this in the morning and at night time, once I have cleansed and toned my skin I use about half a pump of the serum its light in consistency and white in colour like a cream and I massage this into my skin in circular motions round my face and down my neck, it has a lovely clean fresh scent to it. Soaks into the skin really quickly, it recommends to leave about 10 minutes before applying make up, so I usually get myself dressed let it sink into the skin and do its magic.

So far I have been using this for past 2-3 weeks and I am defiantly seeing the difference in my skin. It feels softer and it looks a lot healthier.

Bourjois Bliss

 To start off I just want to apologise that there wasn't a post up yesterday, I hurt my shoulder at work that by the end of the day I was in a lot of pain and just wanted to sleep. Today it has been much better just get a slight niggling pain every now and then, think I pulled something. So lets get right into it.

I'm a little late to the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation loving group, but I am firmly a member of it now. I have been using it and the Cream Blush in shade Healthy Glow as my lovely little duo recently and I am so happy that I finally caved in and bought it.

I'm going to mention the packaging to start with as I just love it, I love that its a glass bottle which I always find makes a product look more expensive than it is, the cute little pictures of fruit on the label and I love that the pump is in an eye popping red colour. The foundation itself is just perfect to give you that lovely glow, I have mine in shade vanilla. The bottle is a 30ml bottle, as I mentioned it comes with a pump which I only need one pump of the product. Its light in consistency that I just dot it round my face, then using my Real Techniques Buffing Brush I blend and buff it into my skin. The coverage I would say this gives is a light to medium coverage, its great when I'm having a good skin day and don't have many spots or marks. Whenever I use this I get compliments on how good my skin is looking and how healthy I look. The 3 fruit pictures on the label is what really caught my eye about this product as you don't often see tiny fruit on your bottles of foundation do you?! Well they are what makes the foundation Healthy , you have the Apple which is to help our skin looking loverly and youthful, Melon to keep our skin all hydrated and Apricot to enhance your skins radiance. Sounds great right?! Well it really is, I am really impressed with this product.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation £9.99

Foundation all blended in giving the skin a lovely healthy glow

Now to go along with the foundation I thought I would try out the Cream Blushes that Bourjois also do, I went for the shade Healthy Glow. Got a bit of a healthy theme here. It comes in a lovely little coral coloured pot than when you flip it open you have the product on the base and on the lids side is a little mirror which is perfect for on the go. You only need a little of this product, just swirl your finger in the product and then blend it onto the apples of your cheeks. Healthy Glow is a lovely deep pink coral shade that gives you that lovely pop of colour on the cheeks without you looking that your wearing any blusher at all. I love that its a solid too so you can pop it in your bag without worrying about the product smashing and breaking into tiny pieces. 

Bourjois Cream Blush £7.99

Check In Tuesday #9

Wow its been a while since I done a little Check In Tuesday with you beautiful bunch. My life hasn't been that hectic really, there's been some changes at my work recently so I been working 9-5 a lot and when that place is hot and busy that you constantly running round on your feet it makes you sleepy, all you want to do is cook dinner chill and go to sleep. However I told my self I need to be more productive when I finish work so with that in mind I have been throwing myself right back in to the blog and gosh I have missed it. I thought one the things I would do with you was my little catch up posts I do once a week called Check In Tuesday which was a little run down on anything in my life. So here it goes, hope you enjoy.

• One the things I been doing more which I am pretty proud of myself for is drink more water! My plan is to try and have at least 2 litres of water a day and so far I have been doing pretty good, it has really helped and improved my skin so far.
• As you may or may not know I am learning to drive, I passed my theory test a few weeks ago, Yay me!! That its now time to think about booking the actual test which if I'm honest scares me so much. I'm not the most confident of people that I tend to put myself down by thinking there's no way I am ever going to be a driver and I'm never going to understand certain things. Well in fact the past few weeks since I been using the Bachs Rescue Remedy Spray my confidence in myself has really improved my instructor has been very impressed and if anything that has helped me gain a little more confidence too. My mum has even added me on to her car insurance that I can now go out and about with her which is also helping me to gain confidence and progress.
• Gordee and I have started watching Breaking Bad again and we are loving it, forgot how addictive it is. You cant just watch the one episode and cause its on dvd its so easy to just watch a whole season in a day, but we are trying to make it last and spread it out as much we can.
• I had a huge clear out on my iPod the other week. I had been meaning to do it for aaages and its something I always ended up forgetting to do but the other day I finally plugged it in to the laptop and had a good clear out deleting songs that I never listen too anymore, making playlists of good songs I forgot I even had. It was such a massive achievement when I had finished now I cant stop listening to my music on it without  having to skip lots of songs.

That's all I really have to say on this Check In, like I said I haven't done much recently other than work work work but I want to keep this up as a regular thing and even share with you some things that others might not find so boring that and it just lets you get to know me that bit more.

I hope you enjoyed this post and are looking forward to next weeks one. Leave a comment if you would like to and I will reply.

Get Summer Ready Feet!!

Hiiiii!

Now its safe to say that Summer has been happening over here in the UK, this means its time to bosh out the sandals, ballet pumps, flip flops basically all the foot wear that has your feet out and on show.

I have been using 2 products by Avon to help keep my feet in tip top condition. To start off I use the Foot Works Healthy All Day Deodorant Cream with peppermint oil, I'm not sure about you lovelies but when I wear pumps and its hot my feet get sweaty and I get super self conscious that my feet are stinking!! So in the morning after my shower and once I have applied my body lotion I slather my feet in this stuff. Its light in consistency just like a body lotion but for the feet. It helps moisturise your feet especially in any of those rough dry patches and the smell of the peppermint helps to mask any foot odour throughout the day. It is a genius product to say the least.

At the end of the day my feet ache from being on the them all day, when it comes to bedtime my feet have become part of my routine too. I have noticed that with the more walking I have been doing and any exercise the skin at my heels has started to harden so I use my Foot Works Beautiful Heel Softening Cream which is a lot thicker in consistency than the Deodorant Cream and I massage it in to my heels. I usually use at least 2 dollops for each foot then use my normal foot cream (also by Avon) and pop on my moisturising socks and let the creams do their work while I sleep. This stuff has most defiantly been working, I am noticing the skin becoming softer and less hard every time I use it.

I love anything by Avon's Foot Works range, at the moment these 2 products are my dream team for keeping my feet happy in the summer times. I could not recommend these to you lovely lot.

Avon Foot Works Healthy All Day Deodorant Cream £4.00

Avon Foot Works Beautiful Heel Softening Cream £3.50

^Both these products are on special just now, grab a bargain and click the links^

Hope you have enjoyed this post and I hope you are all doing good and keeping happy and positive. If you want to leave a comment that would be lovely, I do reply :)
