Nivea Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Day Cream

Wow - it's been a while. Looking back on my last Blog, i have so many things i need to catch up on. Firstly i am now 19!! Whoop - Whoop!! But to be honest it doesn't feel any different than being 18. Hee-hee. 

Secondly i now have brown hair with a red dip-dye. I will go into more depth in a new blog about hair (Don't worry, i'm still going to do one on having bright red hair)
Where can i begin?! 

I have come up with some new ideas for Blogs. They all mainly cover skincare this time, as it is one of my favourite things. I physically can't go shopping without having to buy a new form of skincare, whether it's makeup based or skin based (I.E, Toner to Moisturizer). It's probably one of the things people talk to me most about, because i buy so much i must know what the products are like on skin etc. People always ask me how i get soft skin or clear skin and to be honest i don't really use a lot of products on my skin as i don't want my skin to be packed with different lotions or toners or chemicals in general. 

So to begin with i'm going to talk about my latest product. It's called 'Nivea Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Day Cream in Natural'. 
Let me just begin by saying i love this product. It's a very similar feel to having an affordable BB Cream but with less coverage. My skin is unfortunately very light, i take after my father on that, and i find it hard to find a skin tone match on makeup mainly because in the summer i look redder than usual and in the winter i look like Snow White. So i was a bit cautious on this product mainly because it is a colour based product, by that i mean it contains almost like foundation, a coverage shall we say.  However, i thought it would be great for days where you just can't be bothered to mess around with the foundation and the concealer etc and just want a natural looking fresh face with colour but without the effort, so i bought it. 

One slight problem i found was that the colour was slightly too dark for my skin, but when going for a non-bothered natural look, you don't want too much colour to begin with anyway, so i blended it all out in, in my neck and hairline, not forgetting to blend by my ears. 

RESULTS: 

The result of this product on a first view, was incredible. I love love love this product and it suits me to a T. The moisturiser is very soft and delicate for the skin which is great if you have dry skin like mine. It does good on evening out the skin tone and making you're face glow a bit more. It also contains light reflecting pigments and vitamins, which is another good thing to look out for on products like these, because you don't want to be walking around with litle blemishes on you're face. 

I really do recommend this product to anyone who can be slightly lazy on certain days and need a quick boost me up on their face so they can start the day looking and feeling a lot more refreshed. 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

It's also really simple to use this product. All you need to do is start with a clean face and massage the cream in gently on all areas on your face. 


Okay, so that is the first Blog done. Stay tuned for more skincare and makeup products. Hope you enjoyed 

Thanks for reading, BeautyGeekz xXx 

Blog Writing.

It's been a while since i've written a Blog. A lot of new things have suddenly happened in my life, some good, some not so good.
But i've decided to keep my mind busy, and what other way to do that then write a Blog. 
I've always wanted to write Blogs, mainly because i saw Hilary Duff do it once in a film and though 'Hey why not, that looks entertaining'. Truth is, not a lot of people actually read you're Blogs, so most of the time you're just sat typing and talking to yourself.
And that's pretty much what i do on a daily basis anyway, but for those who are at home bored to tears and want to read some random rubbish, well here it is. 
So, Blog writing.. Why choose to do this. Ive seen a lot of people on youtube who do these Vlogs to video and explain what they had brought that day, or random pranks they decided to do to their friends, or my personal favourite, makeup tutorials. I don't really have the confidence to sit there and video myself talking about my interests or things i had brought that day, because to be fair, who would actually care what i do/did. Therefore, writing a blog might be different. People MIGHT want to read the things i get up too, People MIGHT have an interest in the same things as me, and people MIGHT want to know how i do things.. Or ask for advice. 


Sometimes, to me, writing a Blog is a way i can talk without actually talking. 
It keeps me occupied. Away from thinking about things that has happened these past two months ... 

Or blogging could be just to express how bored i really am. 

So there you have it. The reason why i choose to write Blogs. 

Thank you to whoever read this, and whoever actually was interested in this. 

Simple Sensitive Skincare Products

Today in England it has been extremely miserable, wet and cold! The rain hasn't stopped and the cold wind is probably the worst. Which is why i am now writing a blog on Simple's Sensitive skincare products. 

Simple is a really good skincare range for people who have to put up with dry skin conditions and skin that have issues with fragranced products. 

I've only just started using their products as they had an offer on in Asda for a set of three of their products. These included a Mouisterising Facial Wash, Soothing Facial Toner and a Hydrating Light Moisteriser. 

You're supposed to use them every morning and evening, which for about a week now i have, but thanks to this horrific weather today my face has became dry yet again. So i try use the moisteriser more often but not too much. 

Overall, the products are really 'simple' (i guess that's why they were named it). All you do with the Facial Wash is massage it all into the face and neck until it goes all bubbly, and wash it off using cotton pads or what i mostly use are facial sponges. The toner is used to help form a even complexion and provide a deeper cleanser for the face, which is perfect for when you've just taken off a full coverage makeup look and want that extra guarantee that the makeup has disappeared for good. I use one cotton pad for the toner and wipe it all over my face, not forgetting the hair line, around the nose and eye, be careful not to get it in you're eye though!! 

Finishing off i use the Hydrating Light Moisteriser, this stuff literally glides onto you're face leaving it feeling silky smooth.

Another product from the simple range that i use all the time,  is their cleansing facial wipes. These are really good if you want a quick makeup remover, they are very very moist, which is great for that fresh skin feeling. 

I really would like to try more products from this range like their Hydro Boost Moister Cream and the Cleansing Face Mask. 

Hope you all enjoyed the read and manage to take a look on Simple Sensitive Skincare Range, and enjoy them as much as i do! 

Have fun BeautyGeekz xxx

NSPA Skincare Products

Everyone should know the importance of looking after our skin, whether it's just on our faces or all over our bodies. It all should matter. So i thought i should share mine in hope that it might help someone.

Moving on... I regularly take long hot bubbly baths surrounded with candles (as that is the only time i truly relax) During these times i use my up-most favourite products of all time. They smell AMAZING and i genuinely think that they work so well.  These products are called NSPA. The originate from a spa called Nirvana. But they have published the products they use and only sell them exclusively in Asda. Which i find great because i have a local Asda near by and i find them reasonably cheap for how good they work. 

This is their Bathing Ritual range, it includes a moisturizing body wash, shower mousse, a foaming bath milk, body polish (which is used as an exfoliator), warming salt scrub, body lotion, body butter and a hand and nail cream. The thing i love about NSPA is that their products is organised into 3-4 groups. The first group are the cleansers which have a big number one on the packaging, the second group is exfoliation with a big number two on it, the third group is treatment, and the forth is moisturize. 

However, the bathing rituals only come in three groups which is the 1st, 2nd and 4th groups but they have recently produced a treatments range (3rd Group) for the bathing rituals, which is a body firm treatment. 

But as i was saying these products really do work and you can see a big difference in the way you're skin looks and feels. The smell is luxurious as well and the BEST thing of all is that they have produced a scented candle using the same scent of the bathing rituals range which is Jojoba and White Jasmine. Also, when you have got out of the bath an d used you're lotion/body butter, you can smell even more great by using their Jojoba and White Jasmine Body Fragrance. 

So i always have the most spa-like baths ever. 

The NPSA range also covers a Beauty Ritual Range, which again i always love to use. In fact, i use this range as soon as i come out of my bath. 

So, again they use they same organised structure, of the 1-4 assigned groups. 

The scents are all different which i think is good, because having the same scent of products get a little boring... 

Firstly i use my Deep Cleansing Facial Wash. This is a good cleanser for taking off makeup although i usually take off my makeup before i get into the bath, but i still use the cleanser and it gets out makeup that you can't always see. I use only one pump of the cleanser which is foamed based, and gently massage it into my face in circular motions. I then use cotton pads to remove it. Secondly i use a Revitalising Vitamin Toning Mist which i spray all over my face to give my skin that extra boost. 

I then move onto my exfoliators, i have three of them. I can use all of them but generally i only use one or two at a time. My main one is called a Brightening Detox Scrub which is a cream-based scrub that i massage deep into my skin. It has micro exfoliation beads that gently buff away dead skin. It smells really good as well. I remove this using Facial sponges, which i buy from Super drug. The next one is a Hot Cloth Polish, which is harder to use on yourself, but at the same time feels amazing. I usually pump 2 skirts of the cream into my fingertips and massage all over my face again. I then grab my Muslin Cloth which i put into warm to hot water, NOT TOO HOT though!! And then i gently put the cloth all over my face and dab the cloth into the cream that's already placed on my face. The feeling is like luxury. It really is!! I then remove it using the muslin cloth.

The other exfoliant is called the 5 Minute Magic Mask, and its a mask you apply to you're face which has tiny orange coloured beads that disappear when you massage it into your face, which is what it's designed for. The beads are filled with vitamins which helps to soothe your face and leave it looking more radiant. You then have to leave it on for 5 minutes. Remove by facial sponges and cold water to ease puffiness. 

Moving onto the third group, treatment. The treatment product that i use is a Deep Hydrating Facial Oil, which is great for my skin as it gets really dry in some places. So all i do with this oil is drop 2-3 drops into palm and rub together until it gets warm and gently dab it onto my face. 

I also use another product called a Replenishing Moisture Mask. Again, it's cream based which is easier to massage into my face. The reason why i use this mask is because it's deeply nourishing and you can sit back and relax for 10-20 minutes while it works wonders for your skin. Remove it by facial sponges and warm water.  

The last step is forth, which is moisturize. I use a product called Oil-free Moisture Gel. I don't want to use too much oil, so i find this moisturizer really kind to my skin. It quite literally glides onto face, leaving it feeling like a baby's bottom.  

Hope this is not boringly long for you all, i just thought it would be nice to read from someone who has used the products specifically. 

If you have any questions at all, please leave me a comment. 

Thanks again BeautyGeekz.

Chapter One

So, i am new to this whole blogging thing, but i have always found myself talking to my friends and family about my interests in Beauty. They believe that i should go into Beauty Therapy, but I've only just finished college with a qualification in Childcare. So i thought what better way than talking about Beauty not only to friends but to people on here. Blogging is the new fashion for communication. 

First things first, a little introduction about myself. I am 18 years old, 19 in June this year. If you haven't noticed already i have bright red hair. I will be writing a blog on my hair if anyone's interested in looking at it. I may not get many people looking but if i do then, well thank you, ha-ha. 

I have many interests in Beauty, my main interests in it is Makeup and Skincare. Followed by Nail care and of course, hair care. Makeup is a highlight of my life, i started using it very young, watching the people around me using makeup, and seeing women on adverts made me more and more interested.  
Since i can remember we always had an Avon makeup magazine delivered to us, obviously when i was young i couldn't read so i continuously flipped the pages to look at the pictures. When i was about 12 to 13 years old, i started asking my mum for bits and bobs (I know, young right?!) But it wasn't anything like foundations and concealers, but the little things like cheap lipsticks and eye shadows.

Now i'm older i can't get enough of the stuff, i had two draws of my bedside tables and makeup boxes underneath my bed stuffed with makeup i had collected in the years. Anyway's i sorted through all the junk i collected as a child and threw out most of the makeup that wasn't very good and i wasn't using. I now only have two draws of main makeup and a storage box underneath my dressing table. 

Since then I've been interested in skincare. I am very very self conscious of my skin, I've hated freckles for a very long time and now they've faded i'm not so unsure of them but aside of that i had very bad dry skin on my face, especially on my forehead and chin. I also have Keratosis Pilaris. It's small, red pimple like spots on my arms and legs. It's not contagious and it's harmless, but it just looks horrible. So skincare to me is important. But that's another Blog!! 

Wow, that's a huge first blog. Sorry guys!
