Who says a lepoard can't change their spots?

So i thought i would blog about something a little different to begin with, a nice review of some skincare products, i have suffered with acne for almost 10 years, thats nearly half my life! I have tried countless products and methods and i'll be honest it's only within recnent months i've seen anything near a drastic improvement, of course things are different for everyone but i thought i would give my opinion on some products you might be thinking of using! They've all been so different!

 

One of my original and faves, can feel like a slight burn but makes skin feel sooo clean and oil free, however it can leave a shine on oily skin so i recommened a mattifying moisturiser, foundation or powder to finish


    

Far too oily for me, though does clean well


Again another favourite, this makes my skin feel oil free and baby soft and i definitley notice a reduce in spots with continued use.


          

it does hydrate the skin and seems  to asorb excess oil throughout the day however the residue of the moisturiser makes you look a tad too shiny!

One of the first "on the spot" treatments i tried, it's good for when you feel a spot brewing, but doesn't do much after that


        

a lovely feeling and smelling moisturizer, my skin feels perfectly hydrated and it evened out my skin tone and texture with continued use i would definitley use this again


      

definitley not suitable for sensitive skin! Burns slightly and tingles like crazy so you get the whole "ooo it's working" feeling. Makes skin feel clean but did not notice any perticular changes in spots using it
         

Makes skin feel lovely but again you feel the burn and they somtimes seem to have too much solution on them. Not good if you are using them to take off makeup


this did do as promised and reduced my spots within the 4 hours and seemed to show quite an improvement in my skin however within a week or so it seemed to stop working, i would only recomend using this occasionaly if you really need that spot gone!


                       

A lovely smelling exfoiliating wash, within a few weeks of use my skin definitley improved, i would use this again


     

a great fresh on the spot pen, but similar to the clearsil version after a month or so it seemed to not work as well, i prefer this to the clearasil one though and i use it once or twice a week in conjunction with a different product

Beautiful. It smells nice, makes my skin feel very hydrated but not at all oily and definitley help inmprove the tone and texture of my skin as well reducing spots.


 

cleans off all make up but i would recommend this to people with normal skin who only get the odd spot
      

a nice exfoliating wash, makes skin feel nice but didn't really improve my spots

 

 
                         

this moisturiser is actually a god send but has now been discontinued :( If anyone knows where this can be found please let me know! this moisturiser smoothed my skin and cleared all the redness leaving me with a lovely clear complexion and reduced my spots :D


       

These are pore minimizing wipes which are gentle and effective 

        

Again a nice moisturizer but a bit too thin so i would reccomend to normal skin with little or no spots

 

               

I haven't been using this product for too long so i do not want to say too much, it's quite sticky and I haven't noticed much change however the label does say persist with use as it may take over a month to see real results due to the way the product works so fingers crossed!


            

I was very surprised by this, the moisturizer is very thick and rubs in kind of like a cheap sun block which really put me off however i am really pleased with the results so far, it has really smoothed my skin and even my complexion and dries completely matte and keeps me tht way! I still put a little powder on my nose however if i put it all over my face i can look too dry! Which for my skin is amazing!


Eye make up remover - Quite greasy so always do before you cleanse your skin but it works like a charm! even good for falsies

 
               

Eye make up remover - Non greasy and easy and effective, been using this for years now :D

 

So theres a few simple reviews on some products! If anyone wants any more info or disagrees with me please leave me a comment! I'm very interested to know

Anyhow a few fashion updates naturally....


I never thought Anne Hathaway would rock the bondage look so well

 


             

Christopher Kane for topshop? I'll be honest i am a little disapointed however i'm not really a fan of topshop so not too fussy, I think this tracksuit is so cute though

Peace love and stockings
