Skin Care Review - GLAMGLOW SUPERCLEANSE Daily Clearing Cleanser

Autumn is here...or I should say Fall as the majority of my readers are from the U.S :-). Time for those dark lip and nail colours to come out...my fave dark lip colour combo is defo the lipstick 'Sin' and the 'Bespoken For' long wear lip liner with it, both from MAC Cosmetics.

Anyway, I recently picked up the GLAMGLOW Supercleanse in a Dubai Sephora when I was out there around 6 weeks ago, I had seen all of the Beauty Guru's raving about this product, which is the cleanser form of the amazing supermud clearing treatment mask.

I have pretty temperamental skin that is spot and eczema prone, plus it can get very dry in the colder weather, so I thought now is the perfect time to try this cleanser.

 

I have to be really careful and selective about the products I put on my face due to their ingredients, but with this cleanser I have had nothing but positive results. 

 

I have used this cleanser pretty much everyday for the last few weeks and LOVE IT! It has so many skin beneficial ingredients that help eliminate a number of skin concerns or issues. 

Main ingredients:

• K17 & Mediterranean clays - detoxifying, refines skin texture, balances problem skin
• Bamboo Charcoal - balances, replenishes problem skin
• Licorice Root Extract - improves skin tone, calms irritated skin
• Black Cumin Seed Extract - antimicrobial and antioxidant active properties
• Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid - removes dead skin cells and build up
• Eucalyptus Leaf Powder - which makes it smell amazing!!!

As you can see from the above picture, the product is an almost black, thick consistency (that smells divine), I use 2 full pumps and using my fingertips I massage it all over my face and neck in upward circular motions. I like to take my time and really work the product into my face concentrating on any imperfections or areas of concern that I have. I then wet a muslin cloth and use it to remove the product - simple!

Since using the GLAMGLOW SUPERCLEANSE clearing treatment I have noticed a massive difference in my skin, the texture is smoother, the tone is brighter and I have had zero breakouts!

If you have similar troublesome skin that needs that extra boost, I would defo recommend you give this cleanser a go and see what wonders it can work for your skin.

Healthy Eating - Easy Healthy Breakfast Smoothie for Weightloss

Hey!

I'm back with something a little different today....but I know you guys will still enjoy!

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you will probs already know I'm TRYING (key word lol) to be on this weightloss journey. I am not massively overweight but I'm just not happy with the extra pounds that seemed to have crept on in the last few months!

The stress of moving house and starting a new demanding job more or less at the same time, amongst many other things, has really stressed me out and I've been turning to sweet treats and fast foods for it's comfort and convenience...but I'm happy to say I shall be turning to them no more! (well maybe on occasions lol)

The hardest part about eating really healthy and following a diet for me is the breakfast part...I have to leave my house quite early in the morning and just don't have the time to have breakfast before I leave (it's usually a croissant from Morrison's next door to my work) and to be honest, the last thing I'm thinking about at half 7 in the morning is breakfast!

I'm more thinking about getting up and ready in time to leave my house so I don't miss my train! To top it off there isn't much out there in the supermarkets near my work that is healthy for breakfast.

Anyway, I have searched online for filling breakfast smoothies, that are delicious, healthy and actually fill me up #TeamAlwaysHungry!

I've finally found it and of course I'm going to share it with you!

You will need:

• A blender - I have the Breville Blend Active, it was super cost effective at only £20 from Amazon and works really well!
• Frozen Berries - I used strawberries and raspberries that I got from Sainsbury's, I buy the fresh strawberries, cut them up and put them in a freezer bag for convenience.
• Soy Milk - I use the Alpro Soy Milk Light - it's really delicious, tastes super creamy and is so good for you!
• Oats - I like to use the Mornflake Oats but they all pretty much taste the same to me.

 

First, I like to add the frozen strawberries and raspberries to the Blend Active bottle, I fill it half way, then add 2 tablespoons of the oats.

 

Now for the soy milk - I add in as much as I want to to be honest, if I want the smoothie a little more thick I add less....but usually I add around 1 cup full.

The Breville Blend Active is super quick and convenient, it will blend it all up smooth in under a minute. Once it's all blended, you will end up with the best looking and tasting healthy breakfast smoothie!

Let me know your fave healthy breakfast smoothies that are good for weightloss and if your looking for a healthy breakfast smoothie, try this one out and comment on how you found it!
