Updated : Whats in my skincare bag ?

I did a post a few months back on my skin problems & how i got over them . . you can read this post  here . . But today im back with my updated skincare routine . . i am always adding to my skincare & im a magpie to packaging !! . .If something has a good packaging i instantly become drawn to the product & usually end up buying it - without reading what its for or even if its suitable to my skin . .
 
However ,recently ive been doing some research & i found out my skin type : oily t-zone with combination everywhere else & some sensitivity on my cheeks . . therefore when i went shopping last week to my local boots, i knew what skincare products i was looking for . .and at the No7 counter, they have the products suitable for each skin type labelled. .
 
I decided to pick up this No7 Blemish Defence Serum because ive found that ive been breaking out lately . . this product was located in the oily/combination section so i decided to give it a go . . i don't use this every night but nights when i notice a few blemishes appearing, i pump out two squirts and apply all over my face . . it dries pretty quickly & leaves my skin feeling really smooth . .
 
 
 
Im absolutely loving soap & glory products at the mo . .i was never really into the hype, that was until i came across the peaches & clean cleansing milk - review here . . I use this cleanser every day - sometimes in the morning or sometimes at night . . ive also been using this body butter which smells gorgeous & ive noticed my legs getting smoother looking  . . i use this when i go swimming - at the minute that's 3 - 4 times a week . .
 
 
Ive done a post on my skincare before and i haven't changed my moisturiser or toner because i find these products work well for me. . im also loving the fact that simple has now got an SPF 15 inbuilt - GOODBYEEE SUN DAMAGE :-) . .
 
 
 
My last items in my skincare bag are my coconut body butter & body mist from Asda . .Im a huge fan of coconut and im always finding my self going back to this scent . . theres something about it that i love. . it reminds me of candles & relaxation . . maybe that's why im forever using it on my hands & spraying my body mist 100 times a day . .

Review: Soap & Glory: Peaches and Clean

 . . As I mentioned on my last post, im going to start doing a few more reviews so im back today with a review on the Soap & Glory: Peaches and Clean 3-in-1 deep purifying cleanser  .
 
Im familiar with the hype surrounding Soap & Glory products but ill admit, I never bought into it . . each time I visited boots I always seen the eye catching unique packaging but I would just glance and then continue with what I was doing or looking for. . that was until I was recommended this cleanser  . .
 
Ive taken up swimming and recently ive began to feel like my skin was constantly tight or unclean  . . my cousin has been using the product for over a year & she gave me the chance to try out this product .  .
 
At first I was a bit wary because of the strong smell . .I have sensitive skin so im often a bit afraid of trying new products incase I break out  . . but she reassured me to try it out & I did . .  and I LOVE it !!!
 
For a long time ive been cleansing, toning & moisturising my face every night to get rid of make-up & dirt, but after a long day of working or being busy it can be a tiring process and I usually slack up on it & half-heartedly do the job . .
 
With this product its okay to slack up a bit  . .after ive cleansed my skin, i go off to the bathroom, wet my face, take a pump or two of my peaches and clean then massage it all over my face, i then just rinse the product off and tone my face . .

Pros 
 
The smell is delicious . . it makes me look forward to using the product !!
After use and even the day after my skin feels sooo smooth & ive actually began to notice a few dry patches around my nose have cleared up
Im a big fan of the pump dispenser because it allows me to use the right amount product
The creamy texture helps it feel like pearls on the skin - relaxing
Suitable for all skin types (bonus !!)
Ive got oily/combination sensitive skin & the product works great for me
