The Ordinary | Do Their 'Cosmetic' Skincare Products Work On Acne & Hyperpigmentation?



I've been seeing many reviews on The Ordinary skincare products. And I thought it'd be great to look into skincare brand and try out some of their products. So I purchased the Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% and the Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane. I chose these 2 particular products because its claims of having the active ingredients Vitamin C and Retinoids, which are sought after in the beauty world because of its role in fighting the effects acne.

Refresh Me | Why Rimmel's #Insta Primer & Setting Spray Is Also A Great Daily Face Freshener


The Insta Fix and Go | 2-In-1 Primer & Setting Spray Review

Before I travel back to medical school, I always run around getting my last minute bits and bobs. I usually try and find a nearest boots or a superdrug because it usually has all the drugstore things I need (..superdrug is usually cheaper).

It's so funny because travelling back and forth all the time means that I'm always trying to juggle my things between two homes and I end up forgetting something behind. So I usually make sure to grab extra wipes, cotton pads, toothbrushes... and I look for 3 for 2 deals for my eylure eyebrow pencils lol. While looking through the makeup isle, I came across the #Insta Fix & Go by Rimmel, it caught my attention because I recently saw a review of it in a youtube video. As soon as I saw it, I thought hmm.. I'm definitely trying this out!

Today I will doing a post on health and wellness. I decided to feature what I am currently using because its been quite a few months now and I think it'll be helpful to some of you guys. I initially, decided to pick it up, because I kept getting sick, feeling tired, my overall wellness wasn't great to be honest and I just hadn't been eating that well. So I decided to start taking the time to focus on being healthy, eating right and getting in some essential nutrients!

Why It Is Ok To (Want) To Be Successful



I asked my mum the other day, why should we be successful, is being successful even that important? Erm well..let me give you the back story. I'm 20 something years old and I've pretty much spent my whole life working hard and wanting so desperately be successful in everything I did. And I found myself staring at yet another jam-packed exam timetable after 1/2 years of medical school and thinking ahh... another hurdle...another bridge I have cross..yet again.

#DEARJULIET | Do you think natural products are better for my Eczema?



#DearJuliet: I'm 25 years old and I am been suffering with eczema since I was a child. I find that many creams and bath solutions my doctor gave aren't working for me, I still feel dry and itchy all the time. I literally have been using it off and on for years and it doesn't seem to work. I recently started using natural products such as shea butter and coconut oil and it has been working so well. I have noticed such a huge difference and I really think that natural products work better for me more than using creams prescribed by the doctor. What do you think? Is this a good idea, do you think natural products are better for me? Is it bad if I stop using my prescribed medicine altogether. Liz x

#DEARJULIET: How Do I Get Clear Skin Without Using Too Much Products?


#DearJuliet:
 Usually my skin is fine and I see progress and I can physically see its getting better. And then I start getting spots on my face, randomly, and it really messes up my skin and my routine. I feel like there is something I'm doing wrong and I never know what to add to adjust my routine. So basically my question is, how do I clear skin without using much products? Anonymous x
