Skincare Haul + a few extras

Hey Guys,

So recently I realised I needed some new face products and after a little thinking I realised that I wanted to try out more of the B. skincare range at Superdrugs. You see I have used a whole container of the Micellar water and had loved every second of using it. So this obviously meant a trip to Superdrugs especially when I learnt that selected products from the range were half price. Though if you read my last Superdrug haul you will know that I am one of those girls who can't go into this shop without coming out with products I hadn't been planning to buy. Let me tell you that this time was no exception!

So as you can see from the above picture there isn't just skin care. The first extra I picked up was some shaving gel. Now I am currently using a Dove body wash when I shave however this lovely one from Gillette was half price. It was even cheaper than Superdrugs own brand. I had a some bottle of this one before and did really like it. So obviously seeing the full size product at a good price. There really is no question about why that this particular product ended up in my basket.

So the first piece of Skincare I picked up was the B. Revealed Glycolic Cleansing Peel. Now I will admit that cleansing peel makes me wary of this product but at closer look at the directions I see that it is similar to the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, which I am currently using a sample size of. Now I haven't managed to try this product out yet so I can only say it sounds like the Liz Earle simply by how you use the product. The product states that it has a gentle and effective exfoliating action, that makes the skin look and feel softer and smoother from the first use. Let's face it who doesn't want soft and smooth skin.

The next skincare product I purchased was actually a repurchase as it was the Micellar water that I fell in love with. I can honestly say that when I use this my skin really feels clean after wards, plus it removes any lingering make up. The product says that its is a quick and easy 3 in 1 cleanser that dissolves impurities in a single sweep, with no water required. Now I'll admit that this is my number one lazy product. I love using this on a lazy day as it will cleanse my skin and I can just put on my moisturiser on afterwards.

Another multi purpose product is the cleansing wipes, I haven't tried these but love to use wipes at night before moisturising and jumping into bed. Now these wipes cleanse, tone, hydrate and condition the skin, which is brilliant and one of those lazy products. Something I love already love about this product is that it has a very nice plastic top. Which means there is no fiddling with that little thin piece of plastic to make sure your wipes don't dry out. This and those four things means this product already gets a thumbs up before I even have the chance to try them!

Something you guys don't know is that I am a fan of eye creams. I love them as I always see it as something indulgent to use. So I feel like I'm pampering myself when I do use them. So naturally I wanted to try out the one offered up in this range.  This eye cream helps to refresh tired looking eyes by firming and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lets face it, its never too early to try and fight those signs of aging. Plus anything that makes me look more awake is a bonus in my book.

Now I picked up this cream as I am a big fan of BB creams but have never tried any CC creams, so when I saw that this range had a CC Cream that was in this offer. It went straight into my basket.  The best bit about this is that it has built in SPF. Now if anyone from England is reading this they probably think I am crazy right now because in England and down here in Southampton sunshine is few and far between. We tend to go a bit crazy when it does turn up and yes we are the typical moan about not having any sunshine and then as soon as we get it, we moan about it being too hot. Anyway back to this haul. The reason I like having the SPF in this is that it means that I know my face is covered if and when the sun decides to show its face.

Now I am a big fan of cleansers even though I wouldn't call them a lazy product. I love a cleanser as I use them at the end of my shower routine and they always make my skin feel well clean. This one from B is called the melting gel cleanser, which I must admit made me curious more than anything. Reading the back of this product makes me even more curious as it looks like this has three phases. The first phase is a gel that melts to into an effective deep cleansing oil. Now this oil is gentle enough to remove eye makeup. The oil then washes off as a milky toner leaving skin soft and supple. YAY a multi use product as the end of this sounds a lot like cleansing oil that I currently use to take my make up off.

Now I am a big fan of extra moisturising night creams as I have some very dry patches on my face so I like to use a very moisturising product before bed so it can work will I sleep.  Now this B range have a B nourished night serum, so obviously this already sounds like a product I need in my life. Come to think of it, that could be why it ended up in my basket. The description just cements what I need out of this product. The description on the front says ' Wake up to soft replenished complexion with the ultimate beauty sleep for your skin'.

Now like the last time I went to Superdrugs, this trip was no exception even when I steer clear of the make up I always walk out with at least one product in my bag. This time I ended up with three. All of them were from the brand Make Up Academy or MUA for short. Now I do know this brand, they are pretty cheap but still good products. The first two things I picked up was two of their new Sweet Sheen Lip balms. I assume these are new anyway, I haven't seen them before so they are new to me anyway. I got two colours one is the 'Peach Dream' which is an peach type colour and I have been loving Peach coloured lip products this summer. So obviously had to have this one. The second one I got is called 'Pink Lilly' isn't that just a cute name. Now this one is baby pink in colour and just adorable. The best part was that these were only £2 each!

Now the final MUA lip product that found its way into my basket is a lip gloss from the MUA Luxe range. The lip gloss is part of a range called Whipped Velvet that just sounded kind of luxurious to me. I got the colour 'Rococo' that kind of reminds me of a TV program that I used to love called Rocco's Modern Life. Anyway back to the lip gloss it is a very cute kind of bright baby pink colour. I did notice that when I swatched it on my hand next to the balm it was more intense in colour. The best part of this lip gloss is the price of only £3.

Left to Right: Pink Lilly, Peach Dream & Rococo.

Now it wasn't until I was writing this that I realised that all the B skincare products had the little bunny on them to show that they were made Cruelty free. Which I kind of love. Now the most I paid for one of these B skincare Products was just over £5. So I would suggest that buy a few at a time. I mean that's what I did, I'm planning to go back and get a day time moisturiser and see if they have anything for spots.

Let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you thought of them. Better yet let me know in the comments what brand beauty you are currently using.

Until Next Time
