New skincare items!

So... I didn't exactly plan on buying any new skin care items for many reasons, such as loads of sample, loads of back ups and I love most of the products I'm already using! BUT! When you're loving father and boyfriend pack up your vanity area to move back home, and your not there to dictate what stays or goes... You come home to find its all been packed up and shipped home! So luckily I had the foresight to bring my makeup bag back with me, but all of my skin care has been taken... So! This lead to some last minute skincare purchases so I can still have nice skin! Non of these items are high end and some I've never tried before! (Also my blog camera is at home so sorry for poor quality photos)

These are the products I decided to pick up for multiple reasons, I'll talk about the repurchases and then move on to the new ones!

First off the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes - Night Calming, are some of my favourite wipes, this is because they are super moist, gentle on the skin and smell great! These take off roughly 80-90% of my makeup which I'm SUPER thankful for! There are 25 wipes in this packet.

Next is the Simple Kind to Skin Facial Toner, this was my old toner before moving onto the Alcohol Free one by Neutrogena. I repurchased this one purely because of its size. I won't be in Adelaide as often anymore so something of this size is perfect to stay with my boyfriend. The reason I'm not a huge fan of this one is because I don't feel like it is moisturising enough (can't really think of the right word) so I end up using more product to achieve the same effect. Otherwise this is a lovely product and has never given me any problems!

The last two items are new to me, one which is a cult favourite and the other by a brand I trust!

The Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water is a cult favourite in the beauty world so I thought this would be a great time to try it! I have yet to use it but I have high hopes!!

Lastly is the Neutrogena Oil-Feee Moisture for Sensetive Skin. I've always been too scared to try drug store moisturisers because I have fussy skin, but desperate times call for desperate measures and so I decided to try this! I have only used it once but so far I like it! There isn't a strong fragrance which I like, and feels nice on my skin. This is defiantly thinner then my normal moisturiser, but I'm thinking that's a possitive because my skin isn't super oily at the point of writing this. Which isn't normally the case! So maybe this was a happy accident and will save me money in the future, just have to wait and see if it breaks me out! (But with all the stress I'm going through at the moment who knows where the pimples will come from)

So here is my emergency purchases in a tight spot, I did bye some other things like cotton rounds and antiperspirant but yea, not as important!

Let me know what your emergency purchases would be in the comments below.

See you next time! Xx

Garnier Pore Refining Toner - Review

Recently my favourite toner ran out, so I decided to try another brand to see if I could find something that I might like. Well this isn't it.

The product that I will be talking about it the Garnier Pore Refining Toner, personally I have large visible pores that I would really like to go away. So I thought that this product would be the best for me!

As you can see from the front of the packaging, there are a lot of things that this product claims to do. I honestly have no been testing this product long enough to find out if any of these claims are true. The reason why for this will be explained at the end of the post. But as you can see this product claims to purify, tone and tighten pores all at the same time! Which is why I bought this product.

This is the back, the only problem I have is that there is simply too much information on here. This makes the writing really small and kind of hard to read. It also makes it sometimes difficult to find the information that you are looking for.

I have nothing bad to say about the cap. If anything it is the best cap I have ever used because it is easy to open and close, and it would be hard to destroy. I like that this also keeps the smell inside.


Now, down to the point why, even though I have barely used this product but yet I have such strong feelings on it already that I'm writing a post about it. It's simple really. This smells HORRIBLE once it gets near your face, not to mention that when I put it on my face, any sores BURN. And not just a slight tingle, if that was the case I would just ignore it and move on, but this actually feels like I am being burnt. Another big turn off is the fact this can NOT go anywhere NEAR YOUR EYES!!! IT HURTS!!!! The fumes coming off of this product if no joke, I put this on my forehead, eyes hurt, cheeks, eyes hurt and even my chin I can still feel a slight sting! Now I might sound like a wimp, but it seriously hurts, I try using a little amount, but it doesn't get rid of the burning sensation.

The main reason that I think it might be this bad, is because Alcohol is the second main ingredient in this product. Normally I don't have a huge problem with using alcohol in my products. But this is just ridiculous! If this is a part of the problem I don't ever want to go near these types of products again!!

I have never regretted getting a product as much as this, and I honestly don't really know what to do with it, I have barely used it and so I don't want to waste it. But I am dreading this part of my routine and that isn't really what I want.

If you have any suggestions on how else I could use this product then please let me know! But otherwise look the other way when it comes to this product!!
