The White Company-skincare

As some of you may I know I have worked for The White Company for just over a year and in January they laughed their own range of skincare products. This included six items including; The Super Balm, The Eye Revive, The Super Serum, The Advanced Hydration, The Hand Cream and The Night Oil.

Whenever a new range of skincare comes out I have to try it so I purchased the cleanser, the serum and The Eye Revive and these sounded the most interesting to me. The packaging of these products are very simple and typical to The White Company look, with the white body and silver lid. The founder of The White Company wanted to create a skincare range which was simple, natural ingredients  and only takes a few steps.

My favorite out of the three that I purchased was the cleanser. I love how lightweight the texture is and how easily it glides of all of your make up. It starts as a white cream and turns into an oil when rubbed into the skin. It leaves your face feeling so soft, clean and smooth everything you want in a cleanser. This also has a really nice lemon scent which doesn't over power the product.

The second of the products is the Eye Revive. Just like the cleanser the texture of the product is really lightweight and has a cooling feel to it.You just need a small amount on your ring finger and you gentle dab under your eye. It is used to reduce redness and lines around the eyes. As I'm not of age to have lines around my eyes I haven't noticed a difference in this department but believe this will help in the future.

The third and final product is the serum. I've never really used a serum before in my skincare routine so was really excited to try something new. I apply this by using a small amount on my three fingers and gentle pat onto the skin. It has really helped my skin look less puffy and tired which I apply before my moisturizer.

Overall the skincare range is a really nice way to start if you haven't had a skincare routine before. Everything is very simple and not over powering.

Slacking on blogging

I wanted to write this blog post as for a long time I have not wrote a thing and feel I owe some readers some explanation. Working full time, going to the gym, seeing friends and family as well as blogging is quite time consuming. Some people breeze through the errands they have to run and still find time to write paragraphs of their thoughts and opinions.

When I left university I though I would have my dream job working for a magazine writing hundreds of articles about subjects I enjoy and love. It turns out reality got in the way and sometimes what you think might happen doesn't actually occur. This does not say I have given up I have just lost motivation in my blog and have seem to have developed writers block.

I am going to make a pledge to myself and anyone who reads my blog to write at least two post a month and then continue to write more and more as time goes on. I've realized I need to put what I love first rather than the things I think I have to put first.

Ouia hair care

A large part of my twenty two years of existence has been spent searching for the perfect routine for my hair. The ideal combination to tame my curly and sometimes frizzy mane has been a long mission.  I’m not there yet but am very, very close.

I then heard of a brand called Ouia which had many good things said about. I brought the smooth range from Beauty Bay as I thought this would be the most appropriate for my hair type.

The packaging is very simple, clinical and nothing too fancy or over the top. When I started using the shampoo I noticed the texture is very think and doesn’t have any sent to it. A shampoo for the price of £22 I would of expected some sort of smell to it. Aside from the smell the product did leave my hair feeling lovely and soft. My hair wasn’t completely fizz free but I think that’s just the nature of my hair. I then moved on to the conditioner which isn’t as thick as the shampoo. It did however leave my hair feeling so soft and nice.

In conclusion I think their quite pricey for what they are. Cheaper shampoo and conditioner's are a lot better than these and therefore do not think they are worth the price.
