A little for you today!
The difference between these 2 photos is pretty powerful to me! I think I definitely look better now to 10 years ago!
Throughout my quest for healthy & glowing skin, I've come to realise the immense power of knowledge. The invaluable tips I've acquired along the way have not only revolutionised my complexion but also instilled a newfound sense of confidence within me.
These are the main things that have changed:
2013
โ๏ธ Used harsh exfoliants.
โ๏ธ No SPF (Apart from on Holidays).
โ๏ธ Bad lifestyle habits including:
Consistent late nights
Barely any exercise
Very unbalanced diet.
โ๏ธ Slept with my makeup on.
โ๏ธ Didn't drink benough water.
โ๏ธ Skincare regime consisted of just moisturser (whatever I had).
2023
โ๏ธ SPF every day.
โ๏ธ Double Cleansing in the pm (Game-changer!).
โ๏ธ Facial Yoga - improves blood circulation, promotes collagen production, & tones your skin.
โ๏ธ Beauty sleep (7-9 hours). This is when your skin repairs & rejuvenates.
โ๏ธ Not neglecting neck & chest.
โ๏ธ Self-care moments - stress can lead to dull skin & breakouts (I like to meditate, do breathing techniques & go for walks).
โ๏ธ Investing in good quality skincare.
โ๏ธ Eating Superfoods (they're full of antioxidants that promote healthy skin from within).
โ๏ธ Healthier lifestyle habits including:
Balanced diet
Regular exercise
Daily vitamins & antioxidants.
โ๏ธ Avoiding hot water - this strips your skin of its natural oils.
๐ฏ๏ธ Can you see a difference between these photos?
โฃ๏ธ Save for future reference.

I was sent this PR sample as part of the Sephora Community to test & review.
Firstly, if you're not signed up to this community, you're missing out! I've had a wonderful experience on there so far, everyone is really friendly & there's plenty of opportunities to complete missions to earn points, which increases your chances of gifting opportunities, apply to test different products & contests. This is my 2nd testing opportunity & I've just received my 3rd product in the post yesterday. I'll add a referral link to my stories for you, which you'll get 30 points automatically once your account is confirmed.
Secondly, my thoughts on this as I know a lot of you asked me about it!
After dabbing some of this powder only on the right side of my face, the transformation was undeniable & my 3rd photo tells the story! The powder smoothly blurred out imperfections that were pronounced under my eyes, I could hardly believe the difference it made!
However, my skin becomes ridiculously dry in the Winter & I did find through the day that my skin started to look & feel even drier with this on. I couldn't wait to cleanse my face by the time I got home. I think this would suit me better in the Summertime when my skin is more hydrated. This would be a game changer for oily / combo skintypes!
Texture wise, it's feather light & the product applies beautifully leaving your skin looking baby smooth.

Reviewed previously in July'23.
Consistency is thick & buttery & it instantly melts into the skin upon application. I love how nourishing & hydrating this cream is.
Benton Fermentation Eye Cream is a premium eye cream containing Triple Fermented Ingredients. Peptides & Ceramides. This eye cream is designed to achieve smooth & youthful eye areas.
Key Ingredients/Benefits:
๐ค Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate - to enhance skin elasticity
๐ค Bifida Ferment Lysate - helps with hydration & elasticity.
๐ค Ceramide NP - helps reinforce the skin barrier & prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
๐คOligopeptide & Adenosine - helps with wrinkle care by building collagen & elastin to increase firmness.
This is one of my go to eye creams before applying concealer & foundation as it plumps my mature eye area leaving a gorgeous smooth hydrated finish! You donโt need to worry about your concealer creasing with this underneath. Itโs a buttery smooth consistency that melts beautifully into your under eyes.
It feels so luxurious & is great for sensitive skin types. One tube will last a considerable while.
Product is available from their official Amazon Benton store.
PAO: 6 months

The Ordinary gifted me.
The Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum is a powerful solution that utilises four distinct peptide technologies to enhance the appearance of density & thickness in lashes and brows. Additionally, this serum nourishes & protects these delicate areas, fortifying them for long-lasting results. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 & Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 are two standout technologies that work together to promote increased density & thickness while providing essential nourishment & protection.
I've been testing this day & night for about 2 weeks on my eyelashes only as my eyebrows are microbladed.
What stands out for me with this lash serum is the very precise brush, it's different to others I've tried, making it easy to sweep & ideal for precise reach on the lash line.
The serum itself dries quickly so it fits seamlessly into your everyday routine.
I've not noticed any difference to the length of my lashes yet, but there's less fall-out & my lashes do look a bit thicker. It is important to consider that the hair cycle of eyebrows & eyelashes typically spans approximately three to four months. Therefore, it is still in the early stages for any significant results.
Swipe across for a before & after!
Price wise, this is great value at ยฃ12! A much more affordable option compared to others that retail over ยฃ50!

๐ฏ Have you tried microneedling before? Also known as Collagen induction therapy, dermarolling, or skin needling.
Thought this audio was perfect 'skin like puff pastry!' ๐คฃ My face was slightly puffy straight after the session, but it recovered quickly.
This cosmetic procedure is widely sought-after for its ability to achieve a smooth & radiant complexion, all while avoiding the discomfort & recovery time associated with more invasive treatments.
Benefits:
* Minimally invasive
* Quick procedure
* Encourages collagen production
* Scar reduction
* Rejuvenates & remodels skin
* Improves hyperpigmentation
* Tightens sagging skin
* Diminishes fine lines & wrinkles
* Healthy & constant cell renewal process
Microneedling employs minuscule needlepoints to generate punctures within the dermis, thereby stimulating the bodyโs production of collagen & elastin. This process ultimately contributes to the attainment of a more youthful & refined complexion.
The procedure is minimally invasive & facilitates a prompt recovery while providing the enduring outcomes that you seek.
I made the decision to incorporate Vitamin C serum into my microneedling regimen, as this practice yields enhanced collagen production, improved skin tone, & expedited healing duration.
I'll be honest I was nervous, but I trust Gemma AMOR aesthetics by gemma 100% & I felt in completely safe hands. As always, she was top tier in her professionalism & technique.
I'm over the moon with the results & I can't wait for my 2nd session with her! Like, follow & save for Part 2 ๐ซถ๐ผ

Today was my 2nd session with the fabulous Gemma AMOR aesthetics by gemma.
This time she recommended using retinol around my chin area as part of the microneedling treatment, as lately Iโve been having a lot more breakouts.
My skin is naturally prone to redness so the post treatment clip is completely normal & amazingly just 2 hours later all the redness had gone.
I popped to the supermarket straight afterwards hoping I wouldn't see anyone I knew & of course I did! ๐คฃ A lady I've not seen in over a year who stopped for a chat. I said 'Sorry I look a bit of a mess, I've just had a microneedling treatment', her response was 'You don't at all! I was actually admiring your skin thinking how glowy it looks' - WOW! ๐คฉ
Iโd recommend Gemma to everyone. Sheโs professional, friendly, caring, very attentive & goes above & beyond in making sure youโre comfortable & at ease.
If this is a treatment you've been considering, feel free to DM me with any questions. I'm a very open book & will answer your questions & concerns honestly.
