Green People: Neutral Scent Free Cleanser & Anti-Aging 24-hour Cream Reviews

The lovely Amy at Green People sent me over a few products to try from their scent free range for their sensitive skin week and I am so pleased she did as I am completely converted already!

I don't like to use anything harsh on my skin as its so temperamental so these products sounded absolutely perfect. They are free from essential oils, alcohol, parabens, lanolin and lots of other nasties which can cause reactions. They don't test on animals either which is another thing that I love about them!

Neutral Scent Free Cleanser £18.95*
This cleanser is a make-up remover as well as a cleanser so I have been using this to double cleanse my face. The consistency reminds me of the Liz Earle cleanse and polish, its almost like a thick cream/balm which feels nice and luxurious when you apply it. I don't wear much make but this cleanser removes what I do wear easily, it gets rid of my mascara without making my eyes sore too which is rare for me! I had a few break outs before using this which I think was down to going back on the pill and this has really helped to calm the redness and I haven't had any new breakouts since using this cleanser day and night. I find that my skin doesn't get feel really dry after cleansing with this, it feels very soft and balanced. It really is an amazing cleanser and I totally converted, its quickly become my favourite cleanser to use.

Anti-Aging 24-Hour Cream £15.95*
I am used to smothering my skin in thick rich greasy creams to try and nourish my dry skin so this cream was a bit different to what I was used to. 
This cream is a day & a night cream which is free from all the nasties mentioned above but it does contains Organic Evening Primrose, Avocado, Squalane from Olive, Green Tea, Baicalin & Seaweed which are all amazing for sensitive skin.
This moisturiser has a very similar texture to the cleanser, it goes on a like a balm and doesn't feel greasy in the slightest, it has a sort of matte feel to it. It makes my skin feel so smooth by the morning without that shiny greasy suffocating your skin feeling. I am really picky about my moisturisers but I love this!

I am so so impressed by this brand and I'm so pleased I've been introduced to them as their products work so well with my sensitive skin. I cant wait to try more of their products & I'm eyeing up their make up and anti-aging face oil next!

You can get 10% off of their scent free range all through April and they even do little miniatures to try. I've added a link here to their scent free skin care range if you fancy a browse.

Battle of the Cream Blushers!

Hi Girlies ♥,

 

So i posted about the MAC cremeblend blush a while ago here and lets just say i wasnt sold on it. Since then i've been on the hunt for a new dewy, creamy blush for us girls (or boys) with a more drier skin type - which i can say that I have now found. Whoohoo!

The problem with the MAC cremeblend was it was quite a matt finish and i think more suited for oily/normal skin types as it tended to stick to my dry bits.

The MAC cremeblend was the reformulated version of the origional blushcream which i managed to find on ebay in 'ladyblush' and i absolutely love it! The blushcremes are now discontinued so its very hard to get hold of these but you may get lucky. From these pictures you can probably see how different the cremeblend and blushcreme are, look how dewy the blushcreme is! Just what i was looking for :)

 

So as this has been discontined you may think it was a bit of a waste of time telling you about it.. Well no, because i found a dupe for it! Yay me -

 The Dupe: NYX Rouge Cream Blush £5.99

I really like this NYX blush, it's exactly the same consistency as the MAC blushcreme and the colour isn't that far of - plus its cheaper! 

 

They are both a little sticky/tacky when applied but i wouldn't say they were hard to work with at all, they both last a good few hours without setting which i think is okay going seeing how dewy they are.

I'd say that these maybe aren't brilliantly suited for oily skins as they have quite an oily feeling to them, but they don't seem to block my pores so it could be fine.

You can get a nice sheen of colour with these or build it up for a heavier coverage but it could get quite shiney if you used too much so i guess it's finding the balance. I apply this over my foundation and it blends in so well, i find using a stipling brush gives a more even finish than using my fingers and leaves a nice glow.

 

I will definately be purchasing the NYX blush in different colours - really love & recommend them ♥

 

Do you prefer powder or cream blush?  ♥
