Happy Wednesday Beauty Buddies…
Yes, I’m back again today with another video! This time I’m rambling on about a colourful array beauty buys I treated myself to after a mini shopping spree at the weekend – nice, huh? I know I just couldn’t resist, but it feels like it’s been so darn long since I’ve longingly browsed the shelves of my favourite cosmetic stores on the hunt for exciting new finds – needless to say I done pretty well. So what did I buy? Well, I guess you’ll just have to watch and find out for yourself 😉 Do let me know if you’ve tried any of these gorgeous finds yourself!
Cheerio chums…
Nice video! Looking forward to reading your review of the Loreal foundation, I have been considering that one as well 😀

I think its 125 Natural Rose – it’s still a little ‘warm’ compared to the rest of me Anne, but I reckon I’ll always have that battle lol *sigh* XXX

Great products Karen! I have heard a lot about Tanya Burr and her lip products but have yet to try them. About the stinging sensation, I honestly think that it could be the toner and the cotton itself that is causing that reaction. I actually was using baby wipes at night to remove my makeup and then following it up with my cleanser and after a while my skin started to feel like it was burning and sort of raw. Any products that I would put on afterward would just make my skin feel so sensitive. After I stopped using the wipes, my skin returned to normal within a week. My advice: Stop using the toner or whatever new product you have introduced in your skincare routine for about a week and see if that makes a difference. You know where to find me in case you have any other questions. 🙂

Hey huni thank you so much for the support and great advice!! Thankfully I started using the new cotton pads this last two nights and it’s rectified the situation as I was really beginning to think it was the toner too – which would have been devastating as I love it so much and have used it for over 6 months now without any bother. Using the softer ones I’ve had no raw or burning issues *thankfully* however if it starts back up again I may need to give you a shout! Fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that!!!! Thanks again lovely for everything – much appreciated *hugs* XXX

You’re welcome Karen. Glad the irritation has subsided. It’s always a mystery sometimes when it comes to skin and potential sensitizers so it requires a bit of trial and error and some ‘detective’ skills. 🙂 I’m here if you need me.
