Sudocrem.... miracle product?!

Just a quick update on a great product I've been trying recently!

Both of my flat mates have been using the product, and recommended it as a spot fighter and all around face cream!

I was using this a couple of weeks ago, when my face had flared up really bad, and I have to say it works really well! I can put this on at night (it's a very thick product so I would recommend only using at night!) and my spots look and feel reduced in size.

It works to block out nasty stuff getting to your pores in the night, but also dries the skin and any oily areas where spots occur! It's a good idea to use a good exfoliator and moisturiser the morning after using Sudocrem, as it does dry out the skin quite a bit!

I stopped using this product while I was away in America, and my spots returned. Since getting back and using it again, it's reduced some of my larger spots over night, which is brilliant! It's quite cheap and lasts a while! It comes in a tube or a pot, and I prefer the pot for ease of application & hygiene!

Thanks for reading! :)

Skincare routine for dry combination skin!

I guess every girl attempts to achieve healthy looking skin which allows make up to glide on effortlessly! It's also a plus point if the make up stays put throughout the day, especially when working under bright lights and for long hours... this is a must! Well this weekend I've been trying a different skincare routine, having come to the end of my Clinique Cleanser and Toner, I've been trying random things that I have lying around my room..... and nothing has quite compared to this weekend's finds! (I tried the face wash courtesy of my Mum and Sister... hehe!)

I have tried this Garnier range in the past and hadn't been too impressed with it, but this time round, teamed with some other products it seems to be working well!

This cleanser is soap free, which means there won't be any soapy residue left on the skin, which can lead to clogged pores and spots! It's really refreshing, and can be used morning and night. It really makes my skin feel soft, I am SO impressed!! 

I follow with these wipes from Garnier. I opted for the 'soft essentials' as I felt like I shouldn't strip my skin of too much moisture, as that would be done with the gel cleanser! These wipes are great for removing any excess make up!

It's a little tough to get eye make up off with them though, they aren't wet enough! No problem though as I just use some Simple eye make up remover to get rid of any stubborn mascara!

To finish off the routine, this moisturiser is a great Oil Free one! It's a little pricey at around £25-£30 per tub, but it really is great for dry combination skin which can be prone to oily areas/spots! :) 


A good finger tip's worth should do the whole face, it glides on and goes really far I find! Just dab it on each cheek, the nose, forehead and chin and then blend. It's heavenly to apply! Moisturising enough to replenish during the night, and light enough to sit nicely on the skin as a primer before make up!


My true test of make up is when I go to work, and this weekend I've been at work with no problems. Usually my face is an oily mess by about half way through my shift, but I have felt comfortable with my skin all weekend! This regime seems to be helping my skin to calm down and just generally look and feel better!

It's only been a few days, but I'm hoping that this routine will keep giving me these results! :)

** update: I went in Sainsbury's today and their Garnier range was on special offer!! The face wash usually £3.50 was £1.70 :D and the same with the face wipes!

Nutritious snacks right to your door! Graze Box

In keeping with the healthy eating thing I'm trying at the moment, here's a good company where you can try a few different healthy snacks, and they deliver to your home or workplace (perfect to keep you going at work!) I heard about this company some time ago... and it really is a good deal if you can catch them when they have an offer on for first timers!

Example of what you might choose!

What happens is, you sign up and pick which 'box' you would like. There's loads of things to pick from to have in your box, whatever takes your fancy! Olives, nuts, fruit, various types of breads.... it really is a good opportunity to try out different things that you may not have even heard of before! Personally I love the olives and the sugared nuts... but there are some even healthier things to pick from! As far as I know they only ship to addresses in the UK.

Head to  www.graze.com
enter code: FJYV1NJ First box free!

Just in case you were wondering (I was a bit dubious the first time I ordered) there's no commitment, so it's not like a membership. Here's what they say on their FAQ's:

Can I cancel at anytime?

There's no commitment ever - you can cancel your weekly deliveries at any time. If you’re going on holiday, it’s really easy to push back your boxes or add a 'weekly delivery holiday' on 'your deliveries' page so you'll receive boxes when you're back.

Really is a good little thing to try out, especially as you're getting the first one free :D


Let me know if you have received a Graze box before or if you're planning on getting one, I'd love to hear from you! Just leave me a comment below :)
