And just like that, it’s April – a quarter of the way through the year. I’m glad we’re finally in Spring territory, I’m so ready for some warmer weather.
❤️ – Already Repurchased
😍 – Would Repurchase
😢 – Not For Me
😢 Trinny London The Elevator
If you caught my review, you’ll know this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I ended up using it as a moisturiser after I kept forgetting to use it. If you’re someone who really needs a targeted neck cream, this might work for you. But if you’re already bringing your skincare down your neck, you can probably skip.
😍 Dermalogica Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist*
I’ll be sharing a full review soon, but let’s just say I’m obsessed with this. It’s the ideal spritz for lightweight hydration. I’ve been using it throughout my routine, and it’s been a dream.
😍 Torriden Dive In Moisture Sun Cream*
This one’s a keeper. The texture is gorgeously light, yet it leaves the skin feeling properly moisturised. Plus, there’s no white cast, and the finish is just the right side of satin – so you can’t really go wrong here.
😍 Embryolisse Intense Lift Eye Cream*
Another upcoming review, but here’s the short of it. It did the job, though the name is a little bit exaggerated. I also had some trouble with the packaging – it’s a bit of a struggle to get the last bit out because the pump doesn’t get the last dregs, so you’ll be forced to scoop.
😍 Q+A Ceramide Face Cream*
This one is such a gem. Rich enough to feel indulgent, but it doesn’t overwhelm the skin. It sinks in beautifully, leaving my face soft, hydrated, and super comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching for this again.
😍 Naturium Vitamin C Super Serum Plus
Another standout from Naturium. Full review on its way, but I’ve been loving this. If you’re a fan of their line, this one won’t disappoint – it’s effective.
😍 Murad Soothing Oat and Peptide Cleanser*
This creamy, gentle cleanser is such a treat, especially when my skin needs a little TLC. It leaves my face feeling soothed, calm, and hydrated – perfect for mornings or as a second cleanse in the evening.
😍 Kate Somerville Dilo Oil
This one has been discontinued for a while, but I had to give it a mention. I used this way past expiration, but it was such a nourishing, hydrating oil and smelt fine that I couldn’t bare to bin it. It was my winter skin saviour – moisturising without feeling greasy.
Haircare
😍 Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo*
This was a solid find. Paired with the conditioner I emptied last month, it really delivered. My hair felt thoroughly cleansed without any dryness, and it left my strands feeling soft and healthy. Definitely a good match for anyone wanting to add some strength to their hair care routine.
Body Care
😍 Avene After-Sun Restorative Lotion Face and Body*
I’ll be honest, I didn’t use this as an after-sun, but as an all-over body lotion – and I loved it. It kept my skin feeling soft, nourished, and hydrated. Plus, the subtle holiday-like scent had me dreaming of sun-soaked days, even when I wasn’t anywhere near the beach.
❤️ Ouai St Barts Body Cleanser
I’m officially hooked. I posted a review on both the Body Cleanser and the Scrub recently, and I wasn’t kidding when I said I repurchased it after the first use. The scent is just everything – fresh, tropical, and utterly addictive. It leaves my skin feeling clean without stripping it, and I’m not looking back.
😍 Weleda Skin Food
Originally bought this for my face, but it was just a little too rich – even for my dry skin. Instead, I repurposed it for those stubborn dry patches on elbows, knees, and feet, and it worked wonders. If you’re looking for something intense to tackle rough patches, this is a win.
