The Best Spot Clearing Products

So I have never been blessed with clear skin, ever since I hit being a teenager my skin has been a nightmare. From such oily skin to now, such dry skin. From a young age, I went on the pill to help balance my hormones which did help a lot. But my skin has always been spot prone. Then age 13 ish, I went on roaccutane. And wow oh wow that did wonders, I have done a full blog post on that, which you can read here Ever since being on roaccutane, now I have really dry skin. After roaccutane, I continued with my pill which I think that when my skin was at it clearest. However, I had to be taken off that pill due to gaining weight. So now, my skin is back to where it was at the start. Plenty of break outs, and gone where the days of clear lovely skin. I have tried so many products, just to try get my skin is so kind of order.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid

So it was Hannah Hearts that recommended this product, you can read her post here. Its so affordable at only £4 and you can buy it from ASOS, which is fab specially if you have ASOS premier for next day delivery. 

L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Purity Foam Wash

Right ill admit it, my skin care routine did use to be zero to non, like I would take my makeup off and that would be about it. Whereas now, my bathroom is full of washes and scrubs for my face. Personally, this seems to be the only facial wash that is working for me. Well what I can tell anyway.  If you have read my blog before, you will know I love L'Oreal products. You can read my favourite L'Oreal products here.  So this is quite a new product for L'Oreal, and it just works. I use it every morning and night and my skin feel so soft after using it!

Superdrug Deep Action Anti Blemish Overnight Serum

So I picked this up after seeing it on offer in Superdrug. You apply it on a night, under Neath your night skin products whatever they may be. And it does its magic over night, I have found every time I have used this so face that my blemishes have gone down quite dramatically.

L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Mask

I have actually done a full blog post on this, which you can read here  Whenever I am having a bad skin day, I put this on. It only takes 15 minutes to dry, so perfect to have on your face while watching love island (please say I am not the only one obsessed with love island). 

Water

I know everyone always goes on how good water is for you. But also so good for you skin. It just clears up your skin, however drinking plenty of water is still never good enough to clear my skin. 

Vitamin D  
When I came back from Rhodes, my skin was like the clearest it has ever been, due to having no blemish. I always wear factor 50 on my face, but my skin was so clear after being in the sunshine for the week. Which is always a lovely thought not having to wear foundation. 

Please excuse my facial expression.

So the first picture is when my face has a lot of blemishes, and the second one was last week when my skin has been at its clearest since 5 years ago! I cannot tell you how happy it makes me seeing my skin this clear, like I am finally confident enough to wear no foundation. Which is why I literally swear by these skin care products, as they have changed my skin massively! 

What products do you recommend for spots? Have you tried any mentioned?

Lots of love,

Why Its Okay to Have A Blogging Break

So I have been writing this while I have been in a blogging rut. Which is what inspired this post, of why a blogging break is okay. I have recently just disliked my blog, and reading other people’s thinking eurgh there is so much better and forever comparing mine. Which I shouldn’t do. I think I have around 20 post drafted, and looking at them I just think the content isn’t good enough to post, just because I want to get a post out there. So instead, I would rather post less and post better quality stuff.

So here is two reasons why a blogging break is good for you and your blog.

Life always has difficult obstacles, and you can’t help that! And everyone reading your blog will understand, after all it is a hobby. And for example if you didn’t feel up for going swimming say, you wouldn’t. Also working along side your blog, you do want nights where you come home and do absolutely nothing. And i have to admit that has been me every night for like the past month! So blogging is the same.  You blog is still going to be there, whether you stuck to your blogging schedule or not.

New year, we always set new goals and stick with them for a good few blogs. But then the determination dwindles away, so having a break. Well I know for myself, I have come back and thinking of how to make by blog so much better and what content I can put out there.  Also having a break from my blog, as made me realise how much I love blogging. However before my break I was growing to hate it. So this break I guess has saved me from deleting my blog.

Have you had a blogging break recently?

Such a appropriate picture, not!! However here's to a better blog

PS hopefully now my content will be so much better!!

Lots of love,

Nicole xx

Barry M Gelly Nail Polish review

So I absolutely love going to the nail salon and getting Shellac on my nails. Just because it just looks nice, unlike when you do your own nails they clip in a matter of days and just never look as ‘nice’. So this post is my review on the Barry M gelly nail polish. As these are my current favourite nail polishes to use at the moment!

I always find painting my nails is a chore, however once they are done its perfect. It’s the same with fake tan.. I can never be bothered to do it, but absolutely love once it’s done. But these Barry M nail polishes, make it a little less of a chore.The brush on this nail polish makes application so easy, a couple of strokes of this polish and your nail is painted.  And bonus the colour doesn’t need endless amounts of coats on to make it the correct colour!! Woo, otherwise you spend bloody years waiting for it to dry!

Please excuse my application, painting nails has never been my strong point haha

So I currently have the greeney colour on my toes, but I won’t show you them as I know some people hate feet!! You can see below how beautiful the pinkey colour is on my nails.  Perfect for summer! 

Do you like the colour of these nail polishes? Have you ever tried any of Barry M products? What is your favourite nail polish brand?

Lots of love,

Nicole
