Hey guys so I recently won a competition over on my Instagram profile from an Asian company BonjourHK who sell all types of Skincare, Cosmetics, Fragrances and pretty much anything a girl OR guy would need! Within the prize I won I was first off expecting it to arrive within 3-4 weeks as it's being shipped form another country. To my surprise I received my parcel within a week, completely secure in a box with bubble wrap to protect my goodies! 

The first I want to talk about is the Dr.Bauer sonic cleanser, I was super excited to try this as personally I think cleansers are a much "cleaner" approach to you're skincare. At first it was packaged super cute, a clear box which I love because you can see exactly what the product looks like! It comes on a cute silver stand (which is available in different colours), and a head protector. First off I want to state this product requires batteries (one AAA battery which are not expensive!), the box does state the product is also waterproof which would be a huge benefit if you are to use this in the shower! However, I am  yet to test if it is actually waterproof as I cleanse after washing my body and personally have no need to trail it. Now the major thing I LOVE about this product is the head bit which you apply to you're skin is super super soft, honestly words can't describe how soft it felt for people like myself who have sensitive or acne areas this is PERFECT! You press the grey button in the centre once and it begin to softly vibrate and I used this in a circular motion slowly across my face after damping it first with warm water and applying my cleanser.

The product I use first out of the three is the Deep Cleansing Oil, which is a Disney special edition! I am going to be honest, I have never used an oil to remove makeup before and was not expecting it to work. I had to read up on this product first to understand exactly how to use it, at first with all my makeup on I applied one pump of this oil and rubbed it into both my palms. I began to rub it all over my face in circular motions and it made my skin feel very silky and looked clear like I hadn't applied anything to my skin! Then I rinsed my hands under warm water for a few seconds, then again rubbed my face with both palms in circular motions. The product instantly became soapy and like a wash, I even rubbed it across my eyes (Which I had a ton of eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner on!). I then rinsed my face with warm water and washed all the product off my face, to discover my makeup had been completely removed! I mean ALL of it gone, even all my eye makeup AND it had not smudged or left black marks (Like mascara normally does!). I can honestly 100% say I love this product, it removes ALL of my makeup easily. With super sensitive skin I am shocked to say but I have not broken out or had any issues with this product either, I will be 100% looking into purchasing this again once I run out!Click here to view the product on the website.



And finally the third product I won was the AHA+BHA Face Wash, this product is used to cleanse you're skin after removing makeup. I decided to test this out with the sonic cleanser I won by damping the head first then applying a small amount onto the head. The product is like a milky white substance and when you apply it becomes very milky and soft onto you're skin. After rinsing, I found it left my skin extremely soft and smooth it didn't dry out my skin or make it more oily which was perfect! I will admit after using this product for about 1 week I did notice I broke out a little more than what I normally would (Only about two breakouts more, and usually people suggest you trail a cleanser for 3-4 weeks before judging so I will continue to use this!), although I do love how smooth it leaves you're skin.

Overall, I am extremely impressed with this brand, not only because of how much of a positive influence I had with the products but with the prices! The sonic cleanser retails at HK$79 (US$10.18) which is about £6.49, the face wash retails at HK$65.10 (US$10.19) which is around £6.49 & the deep cleansing oil retails at HK$77 (US$11.47) which is about £7.31. (Please note I tried to exchange currencies online so it could be out a little!). So all these products are by far on the cheap side of things, plus this company stock up on so many other product including makeup and high end brands including Clinique!!! I will be sure to checkout and do a little shopping with this brand once I can get some money together!

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd talk to you about Benefit Cosmetics skincare range, as usual I have very oily skin (also sensitive) so I have tried beyond so many different products. Over the Christmas period I was given a Benefit skincare mini set, I've also picked up a few samples etc over the times of buying off the Benefit shop!


1. Foaming Clean Facial Wash
This is step one to cleaning, I apply this after "damping" my face and rub all over my face including my neck. I have to warn you guys, this is a very soft and gentle facial wash I found if you still had makeup on it would not work as well, it probably wouldn't remove and properly "wash" your face.


After using this product, it leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth. I personally never had any issues using this product with my skin, I never broke out majorly & would rate this 8/10. Click here to view the item


2. Refined Finish Facial Polish
This product is very much a scrub, applying to freshly washed skin which is still damp only a little amount is needed. I personally am not a fan of scrubs as I suffer with oily skin, I find if you use a scrub with oily skin it irritates the skin even more. Although I still wanted to get an honest review of this product, I set out and trailed this on my mums skin (who is normal) it left her skin feeling smooth, with no issues and breakouts! She told me "I would 100% buy this product again without a doubt", rating it a huge 9/10! Click here to view the item


3. Toning Lotion
Again, this products bottle is a major hate of mine. I have no understanding on how to get the product out other than tipping the bottle upside down and waiting for it to fall out. At first, this is easy to do because the product is so liquid and "runny" although, when your towards the end it could take a few minutes... Which personally is no good if your in a rush! 


Anyway, I apply this product usually using a small piece of cotton wool. And then dabbing it across my face, I find dabbing it prevents spreading it across the skin which could irritate and using a cotton wool piece is more softer on my sensitive skin. I personally had no breakouts, no issues with this product and it honestly did its job! I would consider buying this product again, it's just the bottle which puts me off. I would honestly rate this 8/10, Click here to view the item

4. Triple Performing 
To begin with, I must admit I am not a huge fan nor lover of this product. At first I hated the design of the bottle, I had no idea how to get the product out. If I tipped the bottle upside down, it would literally take ages to get any out.... My fingers wouldn't fit inside the bottle, I ended up using the end of a small eye shadow brush (wooden end) and poking it inside to get some out... It was a very long process, on top of that it was only a matter of a few days before I noticed the lid cracked / smashed (I have no idea how this even happened). 

Of the product itself, I applied this to keep my face hydrated and prevent it from drying out. A lot of people over on the site highly recommend this, personally I never saw any dramatic change, it didn't make any effect on my skin either. Therefore overall this product is "ok-bad" personally because of the packaging of the bottle, I would rate this 4/10. Click here to view the item

5. Facial Cream
This product is very useful if you suffer with dry skin, as I've said I am the complete opposite and suffer with oily skin. Although as of recent I have switched to use tea-tree products to control the oilyness, I found using a little bit of this product along my nose (which is the area which tends to dry out) works perfect, I have no issues, its light weight, it keeps my nose hydrated perfectly and I only use a little amount. I would honestly rate this product as an 7/10, Click here to view the item


6. Eye cream
Now this product is suppose to be used if you suffer with "dark circles", however.... I am only 18 and I have never suffered with this problem (yet), although I thought I would still give it a go... I applied a small amount of this using my index finger, and rubbing along under my eyes and blending backwards towards my nose. I found you only need a little amount of this, when I applied it my eyes felt open, fresh, and more absorb to the air. I never found any other difference other than this, although the rating online is highly recommended. I would personally purchase a mini of this before paying out for the full size, rating 7/10. Click here to view the item

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd talk to you about Benefit Cosmetics skincare range, as usual I have very oily skin (also sensitive) so...
This product is a sample version of a facial soap from Clinique, the product is used when you apply warm water all over your face then use a small amount of the soap and rub it into your skin (avoiding your eye area). It becomes very "soapy", then you rinse it off leaving your skin feel fresh and clean! This product is for normal skin, I stupidly ordered the wrong one! :-)

The Body Shop - " Facial Wash "

This product was bought off the body shop's website for £5, I use this product everyday either once I have removed my makeup or sometimes when I still have my makeup on! I begin by splashing my face with warm water (all over), then apply a small blob about the size of a pea into the palm of my hand. I apply using my index finger blobs all over my face then using the palms of my hands I rub the product deep into my skin. When you begin to rub the product it mixed in with the water applied and becomes like a soap, once I have blended across my whole face (avoiding my eye area) I then rinse off using warm water and using a clean towel I gently pat my face dry.


It leaves my face feeling fresh to the air, I feel extremely clean and I have used this product for about a month now, it has controlled my blemishes by not breaking out in more but it has yet to begin clearing up the amount I have.
