Top Products - March

It's that time of the month (no, not that one) when I wheel out the things that have impressed me over the last few weeks. This month I have five things to tell you about, so let's get going!

No7 Instant Radiance Foundation in Cool Vanilla £12.50

This month I decided that I needed to get a change of foundation as the MAC one I was wearing was great, but too heavy for everyday so I wandered into Boots. I've explained about that more here so I won't repeat myself.

I've really liked this foundation and with the matching service it really is a good colour for me. It goes on well and lasts all day with no problems. If you have oily skin the Beautifully Matte Foundation may be a better choice for you, but it's still available in all the same shades.

At £12.50 I think this product is really worth looking into if you are on the hunt for a new foundation. The staff in store were really helpful and knew their products too, so if you struggle finding the right shade I would recommend you give it a go.

Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner £3 (30ml) 

I've tried toners before but I have always reacted to them and so I abandoned the idea a few years ago and forgot all about the world of toners. However, I recently decided that I could do with one and bought this one while I had a bonus code for the Body Shop online.

I'm glad I did too as it's great! I've not reacted to this toner at all and it leaves my skin looking clean and healthy. It also claims to minimise pores, but I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, so there's time yet for that.


Body Shop Facial Massager £6

In my random Body Shop order along with the toner, and several other things, I got a facial massager. I've seen a few people talk about these on YouTube so I thought I'd give it a go.

The lumps on the roller mean you can massage your skin without dragging it and damaging the tissues. After you have used it you skin does feel tingley and firmer as it really gets the circulation going in your face.

Use it in your daily routine to help keep you fresh and beautiful :)

Olay Essentials Beauty Fluid Sensitive £5.49 (200ml)

This was another product that I heard about on YouTube, by StyleSuzi I think. I was in the market for a new moisturiser and at that price I thought it was worth a go.

You don't need a lot of product which means a 200ml bottle is going to last a while. It doesn't feel greasy and it's left my skin feeling so soft I'm embarrassed about how bad it must have been beforehand.

Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Scarce £14.50

Lastly we have my polish of the moment, Scarce. It was a bit pricey and a total splurge item but I'm so glad I got it.

You only need two coats and it looks great once it's on. There's an excellent ratio of 'bits' too, which is an important thing.

The polish lasted a long time without chipping too which is something I really look for in a polish. I now need to save up and buy all the colours!

  1. Hi beautiful,

    With the No7 foundation did you find it made your skin more luminous? I've been meaning to try a few of their foundations as I went for the matching service but never had the time to stay and pick out a foundation, as I tend to have oily skin I was going to dive in for the matte foundation but I do like the dewy look at times.

    I'll have to try a few of those nail varnishes too, they look so good and I've heard a lot of good reviews on them.

    Thank you for sharing!
    Lots of love, Jayde-Paris xxxx

    1. Awwww thanks, and back atcha!

      I wouldn't say it was dewy really no, though I do fix it with powder which would dull it down a little. The lady in Boots did advice against this one for oily skin, but I guess you could go in and give them a go to see which you liked best.

      That polish has screwed me over, I now have a new addiction ha ha! :p
