A New Member in My Kiehl’s Family | Midnight Recovery Eye
I’ve raved and raved about Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate* before on my blog in many a youtube video and do you know why? Because it’s a bloody good product. It’s one of those products that you know is going to be with you, on your face until the world ends or they stop making it because my skin loves it and i love it - if you have yet to try it then do so, it’s a miracle worker. But today we’re here to talk about the Midnight Recovery Concentrate’s little sister Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye Cream* and it certainly lives up to expectations.
I thought when i first squeezed this little tube that i was going to get a clear balm/gel-like product that would apply very thickly around the eyes and heavily moisturise/leave my eye area a little greasy as i counted my sheep. However i was pleasantly surprised to find that it was in fact a soft, fast absorbing cream that sunk into my skin and made my eye area feel instantly hydrated. I didn’t notice any immediate effect but in the morning my eyes were less puffy than usual and felt very fresh. Sometimes i wake up and they feel a little sore, but this bad boy works it’s magic overnight keeping my sensitive eye area feeling great.
While i can’t tell you about the anti-ageing properties about this cream after just four weeks use, i do feel as if my eyes look a little softer in the wrinkle department, but i guess for that one only time will tell. At £24.50 a tube i’d say it’s towards the lower pricing end of some of the premium anti-aging eye creams i’ve tried yet it delivers fantastic results.Would i buy it again? Definitely - i love the way it feels on my skin and if it works as well as the concentrate in the long run then sign me up for a lifetime’s supply.
You can find both Midnight Recovery Products on the Kiehl’s website here.
Have you tried either of these miracle skincare products? Would you give Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye a go when yours next runs out?

.Detox and Cleanse In Whole New Way | Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Wash and Mask.
I have quite large pores on my cheeks that get blocked very easily especially when exercising a lot in warm weather. I find sometimes even with my Clarisonic it can be quite hard to get my skin completely clean so I occasionally need to reach for something a bit more heavy duty. Boots have released a new range of Tea Tree and Witch Hazel skincare products with active charcoal to help detox the skin leaving it feeling super clean and clear and I’ve been testing them out!
Their new Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Active Charcoal Facial Wash* and Face Mask* come in simple packaging that are easy to handle and fit right in on your shelf of every day face products, however both are jet black when you squeeze them out and they gave me a bit of a shock when I slapped them on my face! You only need the tiniest bit of the face wash to get a good lather on and although it looks a bit scary it’s easily rinsed away with a warm flannel leaving your skin incredibly clean. For me I found I needed to use an oil(favourites being thisandthis) afterwards as it did leave parts of my face feeling a little dry but for a good old pore cleanout it’s amazing.
I tend to use the mask once a week and I love it. It doesn’t dry down completely and crack like a clay mask (which for some reason I expected) but it’s easily applied and left for 10 minutes before again rinsing off with a flannel to reveal perfect pores and a very clean feeling behind. I’m really impressed with both of the products and they have an incredible price point too. I would have never thought to put Charcoal on my face but I’m a total convert – a great little skincare duo that work well and won’t break the bank.
You can find the new range on the Boots website here starting form just £2.87 as an introductory offer!
Have you tried any Boost Skincare? Would you pick these up next time you’re in and give them a go?

Favorite Blush And It Doesn’t Cause Acne!
NARS Blush Shade Angelica
It looks peach in this lighting.
It’s always best to go for powder blush if you get cheek acne, because liquid blush can pool in enlarged pores.
I fell in love with this shade when Sephora gave me a free sample size. It compliments my pale ghost like skin tone so well. Giving me a warm lively look. Another reason is it doesn’t give me acne unlike the Bobbie Brown blush does.
Also pink is like my top fav color so this perfect light pink color really matches all my pink clothes.
New Skincare routine
I feel as though my old routine just doesnt work anymore. Its been 2 weeks of acne hell so i thought id change things up a bit.
I bought a few new things to help with my acne, dark spots, and uneven texture. Also my skin barrier is terrible . My skin peels off so easily when I GENTLY pop a zit . So I’m trying to get that fixed. I’m also tryin to lessen my cigarette intake. I went from 10 cigs a day to 5 and hopefully I’ll quit all together when my life gets more stable. Also if anyone wants to recommend products to super strengthen my skin barrier that’d be great!
