Honestly... I have no clue what happened to the quality of the photo above. I did use a Instasize to edit these pictures, which i haven't done before, maybe its that?
I was recently sent a few products from the brand Your Good Skin for a 28 day challenge using their skin concentrate. I've decided to try out the other products and now i want to give you a full review and let you know whether you should go out and try it.
I was sent the Skin Concentrate, Rapid Rescue Treatment,Calming Cleanser and Day Cream.
This Serum had a lot of claims. It promised to transform my skin in 28 days. The first time i used it... BAM spot. Now I cant say that it was the serum that did this but i did find quite a coincidence. I didn't feel that it did much however after using it again but with all the other products i will say it was much better. The packaging was very good. It came with a little box which was magnetic, i felt this was really nice. The serum was quite thin and therefore was great for in the morning and night.
Loving the use of alliteration in that name... okay ill stop letting my English GCSE work into my blog. The cleanser is blemish clearing which is what i need right now! My skin felt nice and fresh after using, which is the best feeling ever. My make up was removed well in my opinion and i didn't see any after cleansing. It truly is creamy which i felt was really nice and relaxing to apply.
I didn't really know how to feel about this, other than I THINK it works? The product was gel, which surprised me as i thought it would be a cream. My eyes did start to sting a bit after i applied to a blemish on my nose however this did go away quite quickly. The gel did make it very refreshing which was nice. My skin did become a little stiff where i applied but that didn't bother me. I applied to a small blemish and in the morning it was gone however i think this may have just gone naturally.
I am not too sure how i feel about this cream. I think that it's great that it has SPF as that is a great quality for a day cream. Unfortunately, the cream made my skin a little red which i don't think anybody wants in the morning when they're going to school/work. I will admit that the cream was hydrating, which is what i expect from a moisturiser. My skin was very smooth and nice to touch.
Over all my skin felt amazing after using the products together. My skin felt clean and smooth and i would recommend using the products together for the best results.
Thanks for reading!

Hey! Today i am bring a post based around my empties. Now i usually rotate my make up and skincare each month , so it takes time for a product to completely run out. I've manage to create a collection of a few items and i'm going to tell you which i loved, liked and disliked.
What I Loved!
I really need to try out more products as everything i have tried from this brand i have loved! This moisturiser is super hydrating and satisfying to apply. It made my skin feel amazing and i looked forward to applying this product every morning!
Caudalie - SOS Serum
Again I absolutely fell in love with this product and after i use my last little travel size i will defiantly be purchasing a full size as this serum is a dream.
Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer
I'm constantly repurchasing this concealer. It is really affordable and is great for an everyday concealer. I would say that this is a medium coverage and is great for under the eyes.
MAC - Pro Long-wear Concealer
If you're looking for a more full coverage concealer than this one is a great choice. I will say i had to break open my jar as there was still lots of product left at the bottom but it didn't squirt out through the pump. I also wish it was more affordable.
What I Liked!
This is quite a good micellar water and does actually feel like it is cleansing my skin unlike other ones i have tried. The product did run out quite quickly though as a lot of product does come out at once, therefore i just wish the packaging was more efficient.
Just your average foundation. I wouldn't say it lasts 8 hours never mind 24. The coverage is light to medium where i would prefer a full coverage. Nothing special.
This is a nice mascara however i think because it is the waterproof version it isn't as impressive. I will be looking to try out the regular version as I've heard some great things!
Skinfix - Foaming Oil Cleanser
This cleanser was good! I felt like it really did cleanse my skin. I would but this in the 'love' section however i'm just not jumping at the opportunity to repurchase.
OOlution - Eye Love
I quite liked this eye cream. I think it did a great job. It really woke me up in the morning , I'd just like to see some more results.
What I Disliked...
Garnier - Micellar Water Sensitive Skin
I didn't mind the product to apply and i did use it all. I just felt that the product didn't cleanse much at all, which was quite a disappointment. I also received my product in the post, only to find it half empty as the packaging had snapped and leaked, They need to make their packaging more sturdy.
Thanks for reading!
Have you liked my new Facebook page? I post on there when i post!
What products should i try out?

First Of All... Let me apologise for the quality of these photos. I took them last minute in my bedroom at night, so you can already gather that i had to use flash and therefore these images aren't going to look amazing. Any ways this months box was an amazing improvement and it got me very excited! The March box was based upon beauty empowered and how we we feel from the inside out.
What was in the box?
I was actually really excited to see this as i had recently seen the youtuber Mark Ferris use a foot mask and i found it really interesting!
This is a luxurious moisturiser! The full size is worth £85! The packaging is simple yet beautiful. I was very happy to receive this.
I wasn't super amazed by this product. The full size is £35. This is probably the product i liked the least as it just didn't excite me.
Now is this brand over pried? Yes. Do I think it's worth the price? No. But i do think this product is quite good and smells amazing!
5. StyLondon - Oval Face Brush £5
I can't seem to find this anywhere but Ebay. The bush is quite scratchy i will say however it does the job. What much can i say?
6. Doucce - Freematic Eye Shadow Duo ( Kate & Tenly)
Again I can't seem to find these anywhere. The shades are very similar and are clearly meant for a magnetic palette. The shadows are quite pigmented and lovely neutral shades.
Top- Kate, Bottom- Tenly
Over all, i'm happy that they have included some make up and the value of this box is great! I am very happy with this months box!
What was your favourite product?

Baking fail... Welcome to the first blog post of march! I am so over winter, spring where are you! We've got a tonne of snow the past few days and I miss the warm sun soo much!
I've decided to start a new series here on my blog. I want to try out the amazing baking ideas found on pinterest to see if they are as amazing as the pictures make out. I will leave you a link to the original recipe and you can see here to see how well they turn out.
You can find the recipe here.
To begin with I set out all my ingredients (I added the jazzles) and preheated the oven to the correct degree. I had all the correct ingredients and now i just had to follow the recipe.
I then added all of my dry ingredients to my bowl and mixed them all together. Up to know the results looked positive and all seemed to be going well.
In a separate bowl i whisked together all my wet ingredients. Strangely the colour did not look as red as it appeared in the photo however i just assumed it would change later on. I added in my dry ingredients and mixed together to form, what they described as a dough. Now this is where things started to go wrong. I had to used my hands to form the dough and the mixture just got stuck to my hands. The dough was extremely sticky, brown and would not spread out in the baking tray. I had to eventually press the dough down into the the tray which i would prefer not to. Eventually we got the dough into the oven and allowed it to bake.
Now into another fail...The frosting. The cream cheese frosting just would not thicken up like it was in the photo. It was a big bowl of goop. I added more powdered sugar to try and thicken it but nothing would work! Eventually we gave up and had to deal with it.
We let the base cool and applied the messy frosting. I added the jazzles for the appearance and taste and cut the cookie into bars.
Overall i would describe this as a fail. They looked nothing like the picture and the colour wasn't even right, i used the exact measurement! They tasted of flour and powdered sugar but they were still edible.
Would i recommend ? No.
Let me know if you tried this recipe and please tag me in your photos. Maybe i made a mistake?
