When it came time to start thinking about what my favourite products were from last month it was so easy to put the list together. Some favourites are newer than others but everything here are products I found myself reaching for time and time again and it’s what I’m using for tonight’s skincare routine. Continue reading →

I have wanted to do something like this for such a long time and I am so happy that I finally did it!

#AD: Giveaway time! ๐ŸŽ‰ As many of you will know I have been away from Insta for most of this year due to lots of crazy life stuff and to say that I have been feeling tired (and look it ๐Ÿ˜ฉ) is an understatement, which is why I was so excited when @officialmedik8 asked me to try their newly launched r-Retinoate Rejuvenating Eye System. ๐Ÿ‘€ The set includes a 4 week eye care treatment that you use weekly (tomorrow will be my last day) to improve everything from fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, dryness and volume. My two main concerns were dark circles and dryness and after finishing the system I can see (no pun intended) a good difference in hydration and brightness.โœจ @officialmedik8 have used a breakthrough molecule, called retinyl retinoate, which is 8x stronger than retinol, but much more gentle. I have been a big fan of Vitamin A for years now and I love it for making a real difference to the eye area. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ This set contains two types of eye masks - one is a traditional bio-cellulose and then the other is an innovative dissolvable patch that uses 100% pure HA โ€œmicro needlesโ€ (see stories), which made the whole thing so fun and interesting to use. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ This system is an investment (ยฃ110), but well worth it if you are like me and struggle with your eye area more often than not. ๐Ÿผ Even though this post is sponsored I wouldnโ€™t share it if I didnโ€™t see results and because of that I have teamed up with Medik8 to give one of you the chance to try these yourself! ๐ŸŽ‰ TO ENTER: 1. Be following me and @officialmedik8. 2. Like this post. 3. Comment below with your main eye area concerns. 4. Tag at least two friends and then any extra you tag will count as bonus entries (no limit). Optional 5. Repost this image and use the hashtag #DOBxMedik8 for 10 more entries. Good luck! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰
TGIF! ๐ŸŽ‰ After looking back through my feed ๐Ÿ˜† and talking to a few people this week I was reminded of how much I love minis. ๐Ÿ˜ In 2015 I think they made up about 70% or more of my stash and I loved it. It was so fun to have a variety of things to try without spending too much money or having the pressure of racing to use up lots of full size products before they expired. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ I wish more brands would make travel sized products more readily available because they are a great way to see if something works well with your skin before committing to the full size, and of course they are so good for travelling. โœˆ๏ธ These are some of my current minis and of the new additions I am loving the @tatcha Water Cream and @freshbeauty Rose Face Mask.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸฝThe rest are long time faves that I keep in my travel bag and I cannot thank these brands enough for making it easy for us to try lots of products (almost) guilt free! ๐Ÿ˜… Do you like minis or do you prefer just buying the full size right away? Also, let me know which brands you think do great minis or which ones youโ€™d love to see make them available. โค๏ธ
The giveaway is now closed and the winner has been announced below. Itโ€™s giveaway time! ๐Ÿ˜†๐ŸŽ‰ In celebration of my official return to Instagram I have teamed up with the lovely @mintdbox to give away one of the last remaining March boxes (with a ยฃ201 value ๐Ÿ˜) because I loved the edit so much. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ I have a full review of the products on the blog now (link in bio) and if youโ€™d like to win a box for yourself then follow the steps below. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Mandatory 1. Be following me and @mintdbox. 2. Tag two friends to share the love. 3. Comment below with the product youโ€™re most excited to try. Optional 4. Repost this picture and use #DOBxMINTD for 10 extra entries. 5. Post about this giveaway in your stories tagging myself and MINTD for 10 extra entries. Good luck and happy Good Friday! โค๏ธโœจโค๏ธโœจโค๏ธ Disclaimer: This is an internationally open #giveaway and will close on 06/04/18 at 5PM EST.

TGIF! ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅ‚ The holidays are finally here ๐ŸŽ„ and itโ€™s time to #PressReset with @aboutliahyooโ€™s incredibly exciting new products! ๐Ÿ˜ I have been using @kravebeautyโ€™s ๐Ÿต Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser* every morning for about 10+ days now and I am in LOVE. ๐ŸŒฟ This is a dream of a product for me when it comes to the inci list because it contains many of my faves like green tea water (first on the list), Matcha (a massive 40%), medicinal saponins (as seen in NIODโ€™s SS and good for those with acne), Vitamin B5 (barrier support) and hemp seed oil (also seen in one of my fave oil/serum from @asterandbay), all of which make for a powerful yet gentle antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cleanser that would work really well for those with sensitive, acne prone or oily skin, but really all types could use this. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ It has a lovely delicate Matcha scent with a very unique/fun gummy gel texture that spreads well and lathers up nicely with just a little blob. It leaves my skin feeling balanced, soft and soothed and itโ€™s quickly becoming one of my most reached for cleansers.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ I was not expecting to like this as much as I do because gel/foaming cleansers arenโ€™t my favourite as they often leave my skin feeling stripped tight and/or very dry, but this I love. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ It will help balance, soothe, heal, hydrate and protect the skin and at $16 is it excellent value for money considering how well it has been made. โœจ I have only used the toner a couple of times, but both will be on the blog once I have tested them a bit more. So far, the cleanser is an absolute YES for me and I canโ€™t commend Liah enough on what she is doing. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ I think Krave is going to be huge and Iโ€™m already excited about the gel moisturizer sheโ€™s working on! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ฆ . . . #beautycommunity#beautybloggers#bbloggers#greenbblogger#instablogger#skincare#skincareproducts#skincareroutine#greenbeauty#instaskincare#instabeauty#greenskincare#naturalskincare#organicskincare#igskincare#skincareluxury#skincaredaily#skincarediary#itgtopshelfie#selfcare#skincareaddict#skincareobsessed#skincarelover#skincarejunkie#skincareregime#kravebeauty#kbeauty#asianbeauty#abeauty *gifted
