Boots Botanics All Bright haul

For the past couple of weeks I've been trying out the Botantics All Bright range. I got them but didn't want to write about them until I had seen results of using them. I have been using the All bright radiance balm for a while and wanted to try out more of their stuff, so I headed to Boots and bought all this which were all reduced so ended up not having to spend so much. I also finally used my Boots app which is great for anyone like me that always forgot those vouchers that they used to send in the post. So here is what I bought.

Smoothing Eye Make Up Remover 150ml€2.99 originally €5.99

First of all does anyone else get a strange pleasure in shaking this up and watching it all separate again? If not I do suggest it keeps me entertained for ages.

I don't usually use removers specifically for eye make up I just use what ever make up remover I use on my face. This is not always the best idea because I sometimes have to really scrub off the mascara that then hurts my very over-sensitive eyes or by the morning I end up waking up looking like a panda so obviously it's not removing it all. This is sort of why I bought it really. I wanted something to remove it all, be gentle to my eyes and not need a lot of effort. So far so good for me with this it removes it all without leaving any. I just put some on a cotton pad hold it over my closed eye then gently rub it of then wipe under my eye to get whatevers there off and that it. I like the oil and I think it leaves my eyelids soft after suing it. Just don't try getting it in your eye it wont be nice I put too much on cotton and didn't close my eye properly. But after all it is for removing make up not cleaning eyeballs.

Micellar 3 in 1 cleansing solution 250ml

€2.49 originally €6.49

I've been using another micellar water for ages and really loved it but it can sometimes leave my skin feeling tight or a little sticky not always but I wanted to try another make to compare them. This one is really nice to use. It's not very scented and is very nice on the skin. I use it to take off my make up and just to clean my skin when I'm having make up free days. It takes it all of and is good for sensitive, dry and acne prone skin or well my skin by not causing breakouts or drying it out either.

Cleansing Toner 250ml

€2.99 originally €5.99

I am terrible for using toners in that I don't really use toners but I know I should. I'm really trying to improve my skin care habits so that includes using toners. I find it can be slightly stingy but only when my skin is dry and I have yet to find a toner that isn't the same which is why I don't bother with them most of the time. It's not terrible or anything I do like what is doing for my skin and it's better then another one that I used and stung the face off me and left it red for hours, this one does nothing near that. I use it after cleansers and before moisturiser which I hope is the right order. It seems to get the last bit of make up that I didn't know was still there which may explain why I break out after wearing a lot in a week. It's not over scented either which is great for my eyes they are way to sensitive a hint of fragrance and I look like I'm crying.

Hydrating Night Cream 50ml

€3.49 originally €6.99

This night cream ticks all the boxes for me. It feels lovely to even apply and is by far my favourite out of this range. When I put it on is nice to massage into my skin and stays on without feeling overly heavy on the skin. It makes my skin look and feel moisturised and smooth and soft and by the morning it still feels like that. It feels sort of oily which is good for my dry skin but doesn't break me out and I'm very happy I bought it I just really like it.

Hydrating Day Cream 50ml

€3.49 originally €6.99

The day cream is as good as the night cream but does feel like it takes it's time soaking in, however it doesn't feel like that once its on for too long. It's great for moisturising before applying make up and I can see the difference it makes. It also like all the rest contains brightening hibiscus and I do think it helps my skin by giving me a healthy smooth glowy look. It also contains an SPF 15 which these days I think is essential for everyday use so for me makes it even better. This picture makes it look white but it does actually have a pink colour to it like the night cream.

So overall after using all of these for the past couple of weeks I have seen a nice improvement in my skin. It now better moisturised and feels a lot less dry and dull. For the price it's great I spent €17.49 for the lot as it was all reduced but even at full price it was only €16.25 more so for €33.74 you get a lot for your money. It doesn't look like I've used loads out of it all and I use it daily.

February Favourites

I haven't ever done a favourites post before but this month I have had so much that I like that I decided to do one. I have six products that I would like to talk about, some I have already reviewed and some I have only just found or repurchased.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I know that everyone and their mother must know about this product by now and actually my own mother has actually started to use it and really likes it and mainly for the same reason that I do. It's not the first time I've used this. I have actually just repurchased it after not using it for a month or so and have started to love it all over again. This is so gentle on my skin but also leaves a really nice clean feeling. I use it to remove my make up as well as a cleanser for daily use when I'm not even wearing makeup. I suffer from eczema especially around my eyes which flares up very easily and I find a lot of cleanser or make up removers sting my eyes leaving them irritated and red for a while. Once something does irritate it it takes a few day to clam down. I haven't had any irritation from this at all which is such a relief. It also lasts forever, well not actually forever but takes a lot of use to even make a good dent in it. I use it every morning before putting on anything on my face and again at night when taking off make up.

Boots Time Delay.

This is a double action containing Instant Tautening Gel and Anti Aging Cream.

This month I tuned 27 and I know that's not old or anything (please don't tell me it is, I'm still trying to convince my self its not) but I know I should start using some anti aging products to prevent aging and I have always taken care of my skin and don't want to neglect it now. My sister recommended this and the fact that I should be using it ( thanks Ais if your reading this :/) and at first I was maybe a little insulted but then relished I should be in fact be using something like this.

It smells nice which is what I first noticed. It feels lovely on, it's not a heavy cream or gel and its not sticky. It absorbs really well and leaves my skin soft and although it has an instant tightening effect form the taunting gel it doesn't feel like my skin is tight and stuck. I use it twice daily once in the morning and once in the evening. It's not an expensive product and it's definitely cheaper then similar product from different brands. I have always liked boots brand products and found them good quality this is included in this.

Essence XXXL Long Lasting lip gloss 

Shade 07 Silky Red

I recently posted a review of this which you can have a look at HERE so I won't go on to much about it. What I will say is that the Matt Effect of this lipgloss is great and it is definitely long lasting I have no faults with it what so ever and being Essence is not going to make a dent on your pocket either. 

Essence Like an unforgettable kiss fragrance

This definitely makes it to the favourite list because I just can't stop using it. I love the smell so much I can't get enough of it. It's fruity and floraly and to me smells of summer and so girly. Yet again not expensive at all. It was under €8 another reason to love Essence. I did a full review recently which you can check out HERE .
