Is Il Makiage foundation and concealer non-comedogenic?

Post author By Rachael
Post date November 4, 2023

I've used a damp blender to get a lighter finish here. I could go over my skin again to get a heavier coverage.

If you need products that won’t clog your pores, using non-comedogenic products can help. Ingredients such as cocoa butter, and coconut oil will be your worst nightmare! I’ve been using several Il Makiage products for years now – including foundation, primer, and concealer – and decided to review them all, as I’ve got oily skin […]

Dermatica Prescription Skincare Review for Melasma with Tretinoin

Post author By Rachael
Post date August 27, 2023

Dermatica personalised skincare review - with Tretinoin Hydroquinone Niacinamide Azelaic Acid

After returning from holiday, I had full-blown melasma/hyperpigmentation from sun damage across my forehead and down the sides of my face. It wasn’t anything I’d experienced, mainly acne and oily skin. This was entirely new for me so I had some investigating to do. I’d always had a slight discolouration on my forehead after getting […]

No Comments on Facetheory Skincare to the rescue after painful acne – my honest review

My full morning staple routine

Facetheory is a UK-based skincare brand; Leaping Bunny & PETA approved. I’ve been using them for years, as being a bit lazy, I love it when a website makes it super easy to choose products right for you. I go for products to support with oily skin, acne and hyperpigmentation. They have a ‘routine builder’ […]

No Comments on My Skin Cycling Routine to help my oily, acne-prone skin

I’ve incorporated skin cycling as my routine for a few months now. I decided to do a big skincare reset after getting home from my holiday in December where I experienced painful acne, caused (I’m 99% sure) by Elemis cleansing balm which triggered fungal-acne (although I haven’t been properly diagnosed). My skin was red raw […]

After using Sand and Sky’s Australian pink clay for some time (which is around £36 per 60ml – see my blog here) I decided to give this a try after spotting it in Aldi for £2.99 for 60ml. I’ve recently been suffering with fungal acne (I think – not properly diagnosed) on my forehead and […]

I use The Body Shop camomile cleansing butter with Face Halo

For the past few years I’ve started getting a lot of spots the week before my period is due – bigger spots around my face and smaller ones across my forehead. Not only that, I also get spots throughout the month – on the sides of my forehead, my cheeks and my chin. After a […]

I’d never heard of Aurelia before, until I saw Emma Watson in a live Insta video showing the contents of her bag (don’t judge me). She said how much she loved the deodorant so I decided to look myself. I hadn’t been looking for a new deodorant but getting pretty tired of having to wait […]

Mabel and Meg Lumilixir Serum

I first found Mabel + Meg Lumilixir Serum through a beauty blogger on Instagram. She put a few blobs on her makeup brush, along with her foundation, and began sweeping it across her face. It blended perfectly and gave her a dewy glow. Now I’m not sure about you, but I always think…. “do you […]
