BEAUTY: Clinique Smart Night Moisturiser

I've recently been using the Clinique Smart Night Moisturiser just before I go to bed and I've been loving the product. I've been taking all my make up off and then applying this before I go to sleep and I've been enjoying how my skin looks and feels afterwards.

The product is quite thick and heavier than other moisturisers I've used from the brand however I tend to find that night creams are a lot thicker anyway. The product sinks into the skin really quickly and doesn't feel sticky or tacky on the skin at all. My skin also feels super soft after applying it. I've also found that with a combination of  using the Smart Night Moisturiser and the Moisture Surge in the day that any dry patches that I usually get are non-existent. My skin is also looking a lot brighter and glowing. One thing I don't like about the moisturiser is the smell. I do find it quite strong and a little like antiseptic cream but I can ignore that fact if its making a difference in my skin.

The product isn't the cheapest. Mine was in a Bonus Time Gift so I've just been testing it out, but at £48 I do think it's expensive. I'm going to keep testing it out over the next month or so and I'll get back to you on whether I would repurchase it. I do think it's been amazing but I'm not sure if I'd part with that much money for it yet.

Have you tested the Clinique Smart Night Moisturiser before? Let me know what you think?

My Current Skincare Routine

Hi guys,

Recently, I've fallen into a skin care routine and one that I'm actually sticking to, which is very rare for me. I've got three face wash/masks that I want to mention today. They are these beauties.

I've been using the Soap & Glory Peaches Clean (RRP: £8) the longest out of the three products (the packaging has changed since I last purchased this). I started using the product about a year ago and immediately fell in love with the scent. As the name would suggest it smells of peaches and is quite fresh. I like how the product looks very creamy but when you apply it to the skin almost feels like a gel. It removes all my makeup and makes my skin feel extremely clean, the only negative is that my eyes are a little sensitive therefore when trying to remove eye makeup it can sting a little, however I usually just use my Bioderma. Another thing I love about Soap & Glory is that it's often on offer in Boots.

I came across The Body Shop Aloe Gentle collection a few months ago after I noticed that around my lips and nose that I would get very bad dry skin and my moisturiser simply wasn't cutting it. However, when I used scented products it would simply irritate the area. This Aloe Gentle Exfoliator (RRP 75ml £9) along with the moisturiser that goes with this collection was a miracle worker. Let's face it nobody wants red and dry skin and it was something I was very conscious of. This is a gentle face scrubs with removes any dead skin. It can make my skin feel a little tight after I've used it however that's something a little bit of moisturiser doesn't fix. 

My latest addition is the Super Facialist by Una Brennan (RRP £8.99). I was after a new clay mask, I've tried a few before when I was at school but wanted something new. I saw that Fleur De Force had mentioned this and it was affordable so I made a cheeky purchase when I was in Boots one day. This is by far my favourite clay mask that I've used. Its quite a thick texture as you'd expect and can be easily removed with a face cloth or simply washing off (there's nothing worse than a mask that is difficult to wash off). I've noticed that my skin has been a lot clearer since using this and feels much cleaner. The only negative is that I have to be very careful about not getting any on my lips, even the slightest trace of the product sends my lips tingling something I'm not fond of (thank you to the dentist). 

So here's my skin care products at the moment. Have you tried any of these products? Leave a comment below of what you'd like to see on here.
