We are now halfway through 2019, how did that happen? This year is moving so quickly. It seems only 5 minutes ago I was writing January’s empties post, now we are on to May’s! This month I had a skin analysis done. The salon were able to tell how deep wrinkles were, how much sebum build up there was on my skin and whether it had enough moisture. My skin was not in great condition. It showed that it has aged more than it should and my wrinkles were deeper than they should be. As a result of the analysis I have changed my skincare routine a bit, so I will have more products to talk about soon.

Here is what I have been using during May.

As part of my new skincare routine, I have started to use an eye cream. The area under my eyes is always a bit dark and puffy, it could definitely use a bit of extra moisture. I have had this No7 Protect and Perfect eye cream for a while. It came in the No7 advent calendar I had last year. It is a really nice cream, doesn’t feel greasy or feel heavy on the skin. I think under my eyes does look a little better, and if I continue to use an eye cream, hopefully it will look better still. I’ve bought a new eye cream, it is a Boots one, but not this one as I had to buy something a little more budget friendly lol.

I had forgotten that I had this sample of Garnier Micellar cleansing water until I was moving some bits around in my bedroom and came across it. I had tried some Micellar water cleansing wipes a while ago and really didn’t get along with it, so I wasn’t expecting much from this. But I was pleasantly surprised. It removed eye makeup really well without having to scrub my face and left my skin feeling clean and not dried out. I didn’t need to use very much so this sample lasted longer than I thought it would. When I finish using my current make up remover/cleanser I will definitely consider buying a micellar cleanser.

Another Dove body wash this month. This is one that I got at Christmas. This is the first Pro Age Dove body wash I think I have used. This one is more nourishing than the standard Dove body washes. My skin felt so good after using it. With the weather getting warmer, then going cold again, my skin has gone really dry, But this really helped that. It didn’t cure it completely but it was so much better than it was before using this. It is just what you would expect from Dove, a moisturising, creamy body wash that looks after your skin.

I really like the Rock and Love Impulse body spray. I have bought this multiple times. It smells really nice and the scent lasts well. I do have to hide these when I buy them though as Booey has a tendency to permanently borrow them!

My moisturiser is the only thing on my skincare routine that I haven’t changed. I have been using the Olay firm and lift day lotion for a while now. I love how it feels on my skin and a little of it goes a long way. The skin between my eyebrows gets dry at times, but this works really well on the dry spots. I have a new Olay moisturiser, not this one, but being Olay I expect it to be just as good.

Mascara is the one beauty product that I couldn’t do without. I wear it pretty much everyday. I have used a lot of different Mascaras over the years. Some of them great, some of them not so much. The Thick and Fast mascara from Soap & Glory is my new favourite. The mascara makes my lashes look much longer, it doesn’t clump and it lasts all day! It contains collagen to strengthen your lashes as well as giving them volume. I have already bought another one (even though I had another 3 mascaras at home!). It is going to take something pretty special to knock this off my favourite top spot.

I’m really happy with everything I have used this month. And now that I have changed my skincare routine I am hoping that I will find some more great beauty products to use.

What beauty products have you been using this month? Do you have any suggestions of beauty products for me to try?

Take care everyone.
