Halo Eye Make-up Remover Pads.



I bought these for when I went travelling earlier this year as I did not fancy taking a whole bottle of eye-make up remover with me. I had never seen or heard of the brand Halo until I popped into Superdrug for some essentials. They were cheap so I thought why not give them a try. 
I was extremely disappointed when I tried them out for the first time. It was literally like cotton pads soaked in water. I can see why they say that it's "gentle on your skin" but it certainly did not remove my waterproof mascara. No matter how many pads I used, my mascara and eyeliner just would not come off. I got so annoyed that I ended up having to use my cleansing oil to remove my eye make up which actually stung it a little. I ended up using the remaining pads to clean things! I will not be purchasing again.

Garnier Oil-Infused Nourishing Scrub!



I've noticed that Garnier has introduced quite a lot of "oil" products recently! I decided to give this a try as I was looking for a new body scrub! First of all, I fell in love with the scent. It is quite strong, but very pleasant. It smells like something that you would find in a spa or a posh hotel even. So according to the label, the product consists of argan, macadamia, almond and rose oils. I personally found this body scrub quite nourishing but not oily which is great! It does improve the appearance of the skin but like the other Garnier body scrub(s) out there, the beads are quite harsh. However, my skin doesn't seem to be irritated by this. I have also noticed that this scrub really does stick to your skin! So when using this, make sure you rinse it off thoroughly! All in all, a good drugstore body scrub! And I have already repurchased!

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion.

Why is it that I always fall ill during the busiest periods of my life? Why? I really do have the world's worst immune system...ever. It's a sad story.

Anyway...let's get back to the topic...



Recently I've been using this body lotion. I have never used any of Aveeno's products until now. For its price, I'm quite impressed. I do feel that it has improved the texture of my skin and I like how it isn't strongly fragranced like many other body creams/lotions. It states that it is fragrance free but there is still a slight fragrance, but don't worry, you'll barely notice it! It definitely keeps the skin moisturised and overall is a good, affordable product.

St. Ives Apricot Body Scrub Review!


I used to use the facial scrub so I thought I'd try out the body scrub. I have oily/combination skin so I break out a lot (yes, both face and body). This St. Ives apricot scrub does give you that "deep cleanse" feel and to some extent it helped calm down any blemishes. Obviously, it didn't get rid off all those bumps but I wasn't expecting it to. It has a pleasant scent but one thing I did not like was that it was quite hard to rinse off in the shower, compared to other body scrubs that I have previously used. It tends to "stick" to the skin. All in all, for a drugstore brand, this scrub isn't bad at all. I've personally had some good experiences with this brand.

Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser!


This definitely felt cool on the skin! It states that it fights blemishes...I would say that it does to some extent. It's an affordable facial cleanser however, I felt that it was slightly harsh for my skin as I would get dry patches on my face. I like how it has a pump unlike many facial cleansers that I have been using recently. I've tried other Biore products before so I thought I'd give this one a try. Unfortunately I didn't finish using it as I didn't really think that my skin liked it enough for me to continue using it. Anyhow, I guess it's worth the try if you're looking for something that may fight all them blemishes away! After all, everyone reacts differently to different products.
