Having been busy with the New Year and my last term of uni, I've finally got the time to blog again! So with January and February's weather constantly changing our skin is also constantly under the weather and becomes dry very easily. I have a few beauty buys that I think have been really good, keeping my skin hydrated and moisturised!
Benefit: Moisture Prep Toning Lotion
£23.50
I was recommended by my mum to use this lotion as at first, I brought a sample of Clinique's toner 4 and she said it has a lot of alcohol in and not that great for you skin. My skin is dry combination and the last thing I want is for the alcohol to dry it out even more. This lotion comes in a nice box and a bottle that contains 177.4ml of the lotion. It is not like your usual toner where it comes out like water but instead it's more like a cream. Only a little on your cotton pad goes a long way. It absorbs into your skin straight away and doesn't leave any residue and it smells so good! After using it for a couple of weeks now my skin does feel more moisturised and my dry skin has gone. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it as it does last a long while.
Clinique: Beyond perfecting foundation and concealer
£25.00
Clinique is one of my personal favourite brands
as it's very good for sensitive and dry skin. I have many products from Clinique and it has worked my skin wonders. I use the CC cream as well but found myself buying a shade darker than my normal skin colour and having seen this come out I went into a store and asked the consultant to match my skin colour to this foundation. It is definitely one of the best foundations I have used. I have a lot of freckles on my cheeks and it does cover them quite well, fading them out a bit more. It feels light weight and doesn't feel like I have foundation on. The colour blends so well to my skin and don't worry about not getting the right colour as there are 20 shades to choose from! Once again it is quite pricey but it is definitely worth it if you want a long lasting, good coverage foundation.

Soap and Glory: Heel Genius
£5.50
This tube of glory really does do the tricks. No one likes their feet to be all dry and flaky so you really need to get yourself this. I find my heels become all dry in the winter due to the cold and so I brought this and use it every night after I shower. It doesn't just smell good but also leaves the heel repaired and smooth. I never really thought about getting Soap and Glory because the branding looks very 'pretty' but that is just a bonus to all the goodness they put in their products. If you like this, you should also try their hand cream!
