My Skin Saviour- DR Spot by Soap and Glory

Recently my skin has been bad, really bad. I have had lots of break outs over my forehead and cheeks, consisting mainly of white heads and bumps (TMI, I know). I had been just hoping the problem would clear up but it hadn't got any better after a couple of weeks, so I decided I needed to try to find something to sort it out. My mum kindly bought the Soap and Glory DR Spot for me, at first I was sceptical as although I knew their hot cloth cleanser was good, I knew they weren't known for their skin care. I have been trying DR Spot out for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be working!

 

 

 You can buy DR Spot from boots for £8 which I think is a good price for something that works! Also soap and glory are often on some sort of money off deal. I have used this gel on my spotty areas at night time and by the morning it has worked its magic, I am not sure how this would work on blackheads though as I don't suffer from them. I have checked the ingredients and it has salicylic and lactic acids which are known for spot fighting and pore vanishing. Something cool about this is that it sinks into the skin and dries clear, meaning you can wear it over makeup without looking like you have a blob of cream on your face.

 

The only issue with this is that I makes your skin more photosensitive whilst you are using it and for a week after. This sounds scary but as long as you wear an SPF and keep out of strong sun for a week after using it, you should be all fine. Some thing I love about this product is the packaging, It is in a metal tube which means that you can get very little bit out and despite being full with product it is small enough to fit in a makeup bag or hand bag easily. I love this and will definitely get it again when it runs out.

Rimmel London Wonder'full mascara in extreme black- REVIEW

I picked up this mascara after some serious lash envy, my friends lashes looked dark, full and long! When she said it was Rimmels Wonder'full I decided that my mascara had dried out, and I needed to try a new one ;) So on my trip to boots I picked this up in extreme black (that is why the packaging isn't fully rose gold/bronze) It was £7.99 but as I also bought a concealer I got a lash accelerator endless mascara for free, which is always a good thing!

 

The formula is very wet, which I like, although you have to leave time between coat for it to dry or it can get clumpy. You have to be quite careful when you take the wand out because the tip of the brush collects some mascara which you have to wipe off or it starts to drip (a little annoying). I am happy that I choose extreme black as it really adds lots of drama to the eyes. I found this mascara to be more lengthening than voluminous but that doesn't bother me too much as my lashes are naturally voluminous with less length. Also points to Rimmel for the cool packaging.

 

Some thing I was quite interested about was the argan oil in this mascara, I already knew that it made my hair sleek and soft, so I guess this is the same concept but for your lashes. My only problem with this is that I feel it doesn't hold a curl as well, but it is great as it doesn't give my lashes that gross crispy feeling. Something I love about this mascara is the brush, it is medium size with thin, spiky bristles, these are my favourite as I find they grab every lash. The brush is quite similar to "they're real" but more flexible, as the wand and bristles move more.

 

Sorry for the slightly blurry, slightly too close picture but I think this shows off the mascara. This was three coats on the upper lashes and two coats on the lower lashes. I left it at this because I felt if I did any more it would start to clump. Over all I really like this mascara and although it had a few drawbacks I think it is definitely worth the money.

 

Have you tried any good mascaras recently?
