April Favourites

I haven’t written a monthly favourites blog post before, but I felt compelled to do one this month because I have used a few new products worth mentioning.






Dr Organic Bioactive Skincare Organic Vitamin E Pure Oil Complex - I have dry skin, which requires a lot of moisture to take away the tightness and make my skin look plump and radiant. Over the winter months, as part of my evening skin care routine, I would slather my face in Bio Oil. Not attractive, but necessary. I like the idea of using a facial oil on my face, but I just felt that maybe Bio Oil was just a bit too greasy and I didn’t feel like it sunk into my skin well.


Recently, I watched a Youtube video, by one of my favourite YouTubers Barbara from thePersianbabe. She purchased the Dr Organic oil and gave an impressive review of it, so I hopped on over to my local Holland & Barrett and picked one up for myself.


I have only used this for over a week but I am really impressed so far. Obviously, one week isn’t enough time to give the product a full review, but I really do it. The first thing I noticed when using it, was that it isn’t as greasy on my skin as Bio Oil, and it sinks in quite well.


For £8.49 you get 50ml, but you honestly don’t need a lot to cover your face, so I can see this lasting me a while.


You can read more about the Dr Organic product on the Holland & Barrett website.


Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Skin-Brightening moisturiser SPF15 - I brought this as I was looking for a moisturiser that didn’t contain any harmful ingredients, such as parabens or phthalates.


It contains light diffusers, which makes the skin look more radiant.


It is clinically proven to even out skin tone and texture.


I also love that this product comes in a pump. The only compliant I will make about this product, is that I wish the packaging was transparent. I have a thing now for using products which I can see, so I know when I am likely to run out.


You can read more information on the Aveeno moisturiser on the Boots website.


Caudalie Beauty Elixir - I have heard a lot about this product in recent weeks and after using a recent 10% discount code on Feel Unique, I placed an order.


The main ingredients include extracts of grape, rosemary, orange blossom and rose extracts. It has a strong herbal scent, so if you don’t like strong mint smells then steer clear. The beauty elixir is somewhere inbetween a toner and a facial mist. I use it to set my makeup, or just to refresh my skin throughout the day, particularly after the gym.


It costs around 9.90 for 30ml. A larger 100ml version is available, but I prefer the smaller size as it’s perfect for travel.
