Face B4: Anti bacterial cleanser and serum

There has been quite a hype around anti bacterial face washes recently. For someone who has suffered with acne in the past I am quite picky when it comes to labelling a cleanser as being amazing especially after having tried out so many different types of cleansers. But I was actually really intrigued when asked to try out the FaceB4 cleanser and serum and am glad to review it. I’ve never tried anything like it before, the fact it was ‘anti bacterial’ really caught my attention. 

I don’t know if there are many items like this currently on the market - i’ve never come across any before. If you think about it through out the day our faces are subjected to not only makeup but also pollution and other bacteria too, this product makes perfect sense. 

This 2 step procedure consists of a FaceB4 anti-bacterial foam cleanser* which actually holds a combined cleanser and toner, but when you pump the mixture out it turns into a foam cleanser. By using this twice daily I have noticed a reduction in blemishes and my face looks more even toned overall. It is so simple to use and they work with each other perfectly. I think this product is great for not only the person with the odd blemish but also some one who has acne. The packaging states ‘Fights the bacteria that causes spots’ and I certainly think it does. Also I personally find that foam cleansers last such a long time which is an added bonus! The 2nd step is the Face B4 anti bacterial serum* which adds moisture back into your skin and this just gets applied like a moisturiser. Both the products are really gentle on the skin and are advertised as being suitable for all skin types. At £14.95 each for the results you get it definitely is worth it. The only negative i’d say is the smell of the serum although for the great results it slowly doesn’t become much of an issue.

Overall I do really love this cleanser and serum and I can definitely see myself repurchasing it again once finished. My skin has become noticeably clearer and even toned. Any blemishes have also diminished so clearly it is working well. The fact that the cleanser and toner is combined makes taking care of your skin a lot easier especially for days you are rushing around.

Let me know if you’ve tried an anti-bacterial cleanser before?

Pretty pink personalised case

It has been a little tricky buying cute phone cases for my phone, much to my dismay most of the bigger retailers favour iPhones, so a personalised phone case was definitely the only way forward. I actually designed this personalised phone case* myself. I change phone cases almost just as much as the weather changes in Scotland.

When you think of personalised you instantly thing collages of pictures don’t you? Well I do anyways but I wanted something a little different. I couldn’t decide between florals or geometric patters but in the end I went onto Paint, yes Paint and designed a little case. It looks very Victoria Secret’s-esque, and so saying that wasn’t my inspiration would definitely be a lie. I opted for pale pink stripes and then an initial on the bottom corner, which also looks like a logo or corner design of sorts. I think it looks cute. The best thing about the company also is that they cater for most phones and even iPad cases. You can chose leather too, this case is clear and then it is printed just on the back and is matte.

The design process is very simple, if you are opting for a photo collage then just chose the collage style and insert your pictures. For a custom design like mine just make up a mock design (or search google), install it on the phone template on the site and see if it fits, there should be no blank spaces. If there is then alter it a little. 

The delivery was prompt, it came within around 4 days- they aim to design and post it out the same day which is very rare for a personalised item, this is a really quick turn around. At £14.95 it is worth the money, the case is sturdy and appears to be very durable.

Do you collect phone cases? I am always looking for new ones, let me know your favourites!

Fathers Day Gift ideas

Father’s day is just around the corner so I thought it was finally the time to write up a post on what I’ve got along with other ideas! I’ve still to buy a few more things but I’ve added them into the post idea section at the end. For birthdays and other occasions I usually make up a box with lots of different items, so this year was no different. I personally think it’s fun opening up lots of packaged items on birthdays, must be the inner child in me!

My gift idea collage consists of a variety of items, it starts from £3! I have ordered a few of them a few days ago so they should be here soon but I wanted to get the post up as soon as possible so I couldn’t hold it off any longer, below I also have some items I recently kindly received.

1. Invictus fragrance - Escentual
2. Daniel Wellington leather strap watch - ASOS
3. Broadway Hamper - Regency Hampers
4. Car Air Freshner, Chocolate - Gift & Pieces
5. Cool Dad personalised mug - The Gift Experience
6. Parker pen, personalised - Ebay

Next up are some items I was lucky enough to be sent. The first pick is this Ralph Lauren grey polo neck top c/o House of Fraser. If it’s a favourite brand of the person you are buying for then surely it’s a winner? The top is super high quality as is everything from the brand. I personally love Ralph Lauren clothing too and have a black sweater from there; I just love how even though the pieces are basic they are still so versatile. What makes them even better is their discreet branding, to me it’s a lot more classy than brands who have their logo all over something. The materials used in Ralph Lauren clothing are top quality and are well worth the price, also this particular top is ‘custom fit’ so this ensures it is nicely fitted.

Another good pick is an aftershave, after reading so many good reviews about the L’Occitane, L'Occitan After Shave Balm c/o Escentual I knew it would have to be included in my gift idea post. This aftershave balm is enriched with Shea Butter and Birch sap which ensures moisture is retained in the skin. The smell consists of Top Notes: Lavender, Black pepper, Middle Notes: Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Musk. So a real mixture! I love the way it is presented, it looks very rustic and classy.

I hope you enjoyed this post and are all having a great ‘Summer’. It is currently suppose to be raining torrentially here but it looks ok just now! The sun yesterday has totally made up for it. I am back blogging now after 2 weeks off, first time I missed a post since I started blogging just over a year ago. I felt really guilty but just couldn’t find the time to blog and had to get lot’s of things done and sorted. 

Also want to say a big thank you for sticking with me, and a hello to all the lovely new followers! I can’t believe I am nearly at 1000 followers and you guys actually enjoy reading my blog. I am so grateful. I have lots of exciting posts to write up and am also planning on posting twice a week throughout the summer, hopefully!

Anyways, let me know what you all have been up to recently and have you purchased any Father’s Day gifts yet, let me know in the comments!
