Face Favourites | DHC & Foreo Luna Mini.

Hello, hello!

Lonnnnng time no post. You may or may not notice that we've had a makeover. I spent my day off doing it last week and have been eager to start getting some posts up since then, but life got in the way.

Anyway, I hope that you are all well and had a great Christmas and New Year. Happy New Year!

Today I thought I would mention a couple of skincare products that I am particularly loving at the moment, and have been since October time.

So! Thang number one that I've been in love with is the DHC Pore Face Wash.  Now, I love a good cleanser, but so many leave me feeling unimpressed. This does not, this is perfect for those of you with enlarged pores, oily and spot prone skin.. all of which I have.

This wash smells like citrus and it lathers up into a rich foam with just the teeniest amount, like smaller than a pea size.. Massage in - rinse - and be left with really fresh feeling, soft skin. It does tighten slightly, but it's so gentle and it does not leave my face feeling dry and uncomfortable like some cleansers. My pores definitely look reduced after this. I use it every morning, I find that it really wakes my skin up and leaves it nice and matte for makeup application.

This next little gadget is more on the pricey side, but is so cool! It's a face cleansing device that I always use in conjunction with my cleansers.. It is small and easy for travel, and the silicone is hygenic to use.. I always (and still do) love the Clarisonic, but you need replacement brushes for that and I haven't got around to getting any, so this is easier because you don't have to replace anything and it's handy for taking places.

This little chap leaves my face feeling thoroughly cleansed and I've found that over time my skin seems brighter and smoother, and most definitely less spotty. It's great for acne scarring too, mine have faded considerably since using this.

It has two sides of silicone nobbly things, and two speed settings, depending on what feels good for you.  The slower speed and less nobbly side is good for more sensitive areas, I like to use it around the eyes. Oh, and I've charged it only once, and it's still going - it lasts for up to 300 uses from one charge. Honestly, if you were thinking of getting a cleansing device I would say this is one to try. I love it. :)

Now tell me yours!

Thank you for reading!

Review » The Clarisonic Plus.

. . .

This post is a loooong time overdue, I know that, and I am sorry it has taken me so long!

The thing is, it's harder to write this review than it was to make the video review, because in the video I can just go off on one, babbling on about what I love about it. Whereas to put all of that into words, well, I would be here forever.

So, before I begin - If you want to see a more thorough review of the Clarisonic, go to my channel and watch the video.

For my written review, you can stick around!

So, I was sent the Clarisonic a couple of months ago now, and it was something that I had done a fair bit of research on. I was so incredibly excited to try it and I had so many expectations for it.

In a nutshell, it lived up to every single one. I love it.

So what does it do? .. Well, the Clarisonic is a cleansing brush that cleanses your skin 6 times better than cleansing manually does. It helps with acne/breakouts, pores, fine lines and much more, you can read more about it's benefits on their website.

It also comes with a brush head attachment for the body so that you can polish up all over.

Box Contents Include :

...

Cordless Clarisonic PLUS
Universal Charging Cradle UK
Sensitive Brush Head
Body Brush Head
30ml trial sizes of Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Gentle Hydro Cleanser and Nourishing Care Cleanser
60ml trial size Refining Skin Polish

Let me tell you this.. After just the first use I felt a difference! My skin felt cleaner than ever before and it looked fresher. After a couple of weeks it was so much clearer and I wasn't getting breakouts any more (.. I always breakout!) .. after a few more weeks I could feel and more importantly SEE a difference when I looked in the mirror, even my Boyfriend noticed it, and that is saying something.

It has seriously worked amazing wonders for my skin. I hardly break out any more (unless it's the time of the month, then I do occasionally) My face feels and looks so much smoother, feels firmer and just in better condition, and most importantly the biggest difference for me is that I now have confidence in my skin, and I never did before.

Let me explain.. I have always, since my teens, been a full coverage foundation kinda girl, I would use everything I could to cover every single blemish on my face. But since using this I have purchased a light / medium coverage foundation which I love, and I am happy with how my skin looks when I wear it. My complexion is smoother and just looks radiant, and I am happy with how it looks.

So, I love it for my face, but the Clarisonic Plus is also a body brush too. I will admit I haven't used it for that as often, but it does do a lovely job of exfoliating and softening the skin, it's great for really dry areas like the elbows and heels and it is perfect to use for preparing the skin before fake tanning, if you do that regularly!

This really does get a massive thumbs up from me, I LOVE it and don't ever want to be without it, ever.

Just a few others things I want to mention. The Clarisonic is waterproof so you can take it into the shower with you and not worry about it getting wet. The brush heads are interchangeable, and you can buy different ones for the face, such as Normal, Sensitive, Delicate. Although there is just the one type of body brush. The brush heads that I have with my Clarisonic (Sensitive & Body) are very smooth and the bristles are soft, so don't be fooled by their appearance, I know they look tough, but they are not at all. I use my Clarisonic twice a day.

Oh, and you have to charge it up for 24 hrs before you can first use it.. That tested my patience!

I think that is everything covered, if any of you have any questions at all, please leave a comment and I shall do my best to help.

Well done if you got this far!

 I give the Clarisonic Plus ten outta ten and a big fat five stars!

I Am So Excited!!

I think this is the most excited I have been about something in a long, long time.

At eight o'clock this morning my Postman brought this to my door and I literally squealed with excitement! I have spent the weekend researching it, watching and reading reviews, and now I have this baby in my possession and I cannot wait to try it out and tell you all what I think of it!..

I feel like the luckiest girl ever, having the chance to use this!

So, I'm going to love it and use it religiously for the next month or so, starting tomorrow, and then I'll be doing a full review on my You Tube channel, and also a written review here for you guys.

Have you tried the Clarisonic, do you love it?!
