Antipodes - Juliet Skin-Brightening Gel Cleanser.

 My mum has a thing for Manuka honey and is always trying to convenience me to eat it. However, even though it has great health benefits, I think it tastes disgusting! So when I found this New Zealand based brand Antipodes, that use Manuka honey in their skincare, I thought instead of eating it I'll apply to my face instead!

Benefit - Boi-ing Industrial-Strength Concealer.

Recently I have been stuck in a makeup rut, so for the last few weeks I've been paying attention to what I apply to my face and trying to mix it up a bit. This is a great way to pay attention to all those under used products, but it also allows you to see what you really can't live without, and this product to me is the Benefit Boi-ing concealer.

Urban Decay - B6 Vitamin Complexion Prep Spray.

 Urban Decay is quickly becoming one of my favourite beauty brands. I love their Naked Skin concealer, and their eye shadows are amazing, so after Christmas I decided to explore their brand a little more and found this amazing little prep spray which I can now say, I don't want to be without again!

Pixi Glow Tonic.

Pixi Glow Tonic is one of those cult beauty products that you've probably read 100 other reviews on where bloggers are talking about how amazing it is! So last year when Marks & Spencer started selling it, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see if it was really worth the hype!

Clinique Anti-Blemish solutions Liquid foundation.

Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. Sorry for the lack of blog posts recently I have had loads of uni work, but I've really missed blogging and I'm looking forward to continuing again! So today I am going to review Cliniques anti-blemish solutions liquid foundation which I have been trying for the last month.


When I first started looking for a new foundation it took me ages to pick one that I thought would be suitable for my oily and blemish prone skin, and after a lot of research I decided to pick this one up. This foundation is oil free and contains 0.5% salicylic acid to help prevent and combat any blemishes.

The packaging for this foundation is really pretty and cute and would easily fit into any makeup storage and also because it has plastic packaging it is quite light weight and durable so it's great for transporting. Instead of a pump this foundation has a little squeezy nozzle which I wasn't sure about at first, but it is really easy to use and get the right amount of product out.

To use this foundation I apply with it with my fingers as it dries quite quickly and I find that this is the quickest way to apply it. This foundation has a medium coverage which is really easy to build up and is also really easy to blend and once dry it has a lovely matte finish and feels really lightweight. I find that this foundation is really long lasting and will last me a good 7-8 hours, especially if I set it with a powder. 

Now the thing that I love the most about this foundation is that it has not caused me to break out once, which is the problem I get when trying most foundations. Also I feel like I have been getting breakouts a lot less since using it.

 I would say with this foundation that if you have dry skin you shouldn't use it as due to the salicylic acid and the matte effect it can dry your skin out, but I haven't had any problems with this as my skin is oily and needs this mattifying effect.


This foundation costs £24.50 for 30ml so it is a bit more on the expensive side, especially since you don't get a lot of it, but if you really struggle finding a foundation if you have oily blemish prone skin then I'd definitely recommend trying this one out. You can buy this foundation here:
