skin saviour!

good evening everyone!

today's post is going to be about a rediscovery of mine! it's called rescue oil, and is pretty much an exact dupe for bio-oil in terms of looks and packaging.

I bought this a while back from the pound shop, for only (yep you guessed it) £1. I really wanted to try out bi-oil but i thought it was a bit pricey for what it was, so when i saw this i bought it right away. I don't own bio-oil so i can't really compare them on quality and the way they work but they are pretty similar in looks! I've been using this on any dry patches on my face, hands, body, wherever! i have even used this as a hair oil and a bath oil as it's pretty multifunctional! I especially like to use this on any eczema on my arms/legs and face! i find this doesn't break me out at all, but when my skin is really a bit congested and i'm a bit spotty, i tend to just massage this into my face when i am in the bath/shower and then rinse it off and it leaves my skin feeling really smooth! i don't really use this in the morning before i put on make up unless my skin is really dry, as i feel it will just make me look really shiny/oil!

just like bio-oil, this can be used to prevent ageing skin, sun burn, scarring, stretch marks etc! (basically the works) although i'm only 15 so i don't really have ageing skin (well i hope not anyway) and i am lucky enough to not have any stretch marks, so i can't comment on how good it is for that! but again, it's amazing for dry skin!

I haven't been into the pound shop recently, so i'm not too sure if they still stock it! but if you want this and maybe don't have a pound shop or your local one doesn't stock it, you can buy it on amazon here!

Thanks for reading! hope you enjoyed this post!

l'oreal lumi magique foundation

hey bloggers!

so if you've been into boots recently, you will know there is currently a 2 for £15 off on l'oreal products, which is actually a really good deal! I was in boots buying my sister a new foundation, she uses the l'oreal infallible foundation and when i saw the offer i just couldn't resist. it was a bit of an impulse buy but a while ago i had looked at reviews online and it was the kind of foundation i thought i'd like but never got round to buying it!






this foundations retails for £10.99 and is available from boots/superdrug. it claims to make you appear 'lit from within' which i'm not too sure about, but does give you a really nice glow! i got mine in the shade rose pearl because the way they had laid out the shades i thought that was the lightest one but i have just been on the boots website and i'm now kicking myself because the lightest shade is rose porcelain which looks a lot more like my colour, as this one is a tad too dark for my skin, so i will probably wear it when i've fake tanned/have a real tan (who am i kidding, i don't tan at all!) anyway, this lasts a good while on my skin and doesn't look patchy/cakey. I think this is a medium coverage foundation which is good for those, very rare in my case, good skin days!
i love the packaging of this product, the rose gold pump is gorgeous! i like glass bottles because i feel that they make it feel more expensive and that little bit nicer, however i know some people don't like them because theyre not good for traveling and break easily etc, but personally i'm not too bothered!
would i repurchase? probably not when it is at full price, although i think if i got a lighter shade i would like it a lot more!
have you tried any products from the l'oreal lumi magique range?
thank you for reading and i shall see you in my next post!
