I decided since I haven't changed some core products since the start of my start with make-up, it could be time to try some new things. I went on a bit of an over haul with the goods...... So I have written what I am changing from and then what the new product is....
MAC EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER - ORIGINS WELL OFF FAST AND GENTLE EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER.
I haven't really got any reason to complain about PRO make up remover from MAC because its brilliant but I wanted to try something a little more gentle. I've been using Botanics in the break between the PRO and this arriving. I'm excited about trying something different.
Cremewash MAC - Clinique LIQUID FACIAL SOAP - I didn't want to stop using Cremewash but the product has been discontinued. Boo! I hate when that happens. I wasn't blown away by the choice of facial soaps so I chose this one. I also need to replace my body wash as well.
ORIGINS SPOT TREATMENT - CLINIQUE SPOT TREATMENT - I wish I hadn't done this. I see no difference between the two in terms of ingredients but Origins has the win on this one. I am waiting to see how I get on with it in the long term because there is still a tiny amount of Origins left. I also know there is a new product coming on the market which I want to try from another store.
MAC CLEANSE OFF OIL - ORIGINS CLEAN ENERGY CLEANSING OIL - I switched because I thought Cleanse off oil was causing break outs. It turns out that it isn't - I have been using it wrong! Duh! I might switch back after this arrives! I do want to try the Tranquil version of Cleanse off. The best way of using it seems to be to mix with water and your make-up literally falls off. Oil dissolves oil. I then use a toner to clean up the skin.
ORIGINS CLAY MASK - ORIGINS OUT OF TROUBLE MASK - I have been having awful break outs lately and I thought maybe switching to this might help! I know that clay masks draw out spots from lurking in pores and i am okay with that but I would like something to treat them when they are out. This brings my total count of Origins masks to four. Which is insane.
CLINQUE CLARIFYING LOTION - CLINQUE CLARIFYING LOTION - No change. I love this. I might change slowly down the line as I am de-EL-ing my skincare a little bit to keep costs down at the moment. However, for now, I love this. I am interested in a good rosewater toner as well so who knows. But for now, another year with this product. That is how long the bottle lasts - a year!
ORIGINS GRAPEFRUIT SCRUB - SOAP AND GLORY BODY SCRUB/BREAKFAST SCRUB - I had the breakfast scrub before and nothing has ever come close to how much I love that scrub. I decided to go back since I wasn't in a whole lot of love with the Origins stuff. It's nice but not bothered about having it again really.
So I seem to be trying to break away from spending a fortune on skincare lately. I'm trying to high street my collection for the first time in three years. I guess I am realising that high street can be just as good. I am totally loyal to Origins though. I find it really works for my skin. Another thing that is changing is that I am going back to cheaper make-up wipes since I ran out and had to use expensive wipes on set which was awful! I am keeping my night treatment, eye cream, face oils and hair care in the same companies for now. I might be in the market for a new eye cream after Christmas because I HATE the stuff but aware at my age that I need to invest in a decent one. I am currently using Bare Minerals and not blown away by it....
