The Try Outs Part I… New Skincare - Clease & tone!

Since the start of this new year (which seems like yesterday, but is actually ages ago), I have been trying out some new bits in the skincare area, as my skin wasn't really looking and feeling its best.

I haven't changed out my whole routine and many of my core products are still the same (you can see me skincare routine here and here), I just tried out and added in some new products here and there to help improve the condition of my skin.

Some I loved and some I liked, but will leave once they are finished.

For this Part I, I will share three cleansing products and a "toner" - for Part II (coming up soon) I will do the serums and moisture products.

Evening Rinse…My Current Evening Skincare Routine!

So now I'm here with the evening part of my skincare routine.

Quite a bit have changed in this one as well - but again a lot of the products, you will have heard me talk about before, maybe even rave about.

It is simple but with a lot of options in many of the categories.

Morning Rinse… My Current Morning Skincare Routine!

It has been a while, since I last shared my skincare routine and as quite a bit has changed, I was thinking it was time to share the updates.

I was looking back at my last skincare routine and in my morning routine, I have actually changed everything except one step!

So there is a lot of new things to share - however I have probably mentioned all of them separately at some point recently.

Moisture Search Part III … New Moisturiser Search - Korres Almond Blossom Intense Moisturising & Nourishing Cream & Nuxe Rêve de miel Ultra Comforting Face Cream!

So the search continued for the perfect moisturiser, because even though I did find some okay ones in my last bunch, none of them was "the one".

So I moved on and had very high hopes, that I would finally find the one!

Keep reading for the results of this third part of my search.

A Trial Run… Review - Rodial Stemcell Superfood Discovery Kit!

I love these kind of try-out kits, so when I saw this Rodial kit on sale at a Copenhagen Department Store, I was very quickly making my way to the till with it.

I have never tried any Rodial products and the brand has never really been on my radar, but I have heard good things and I knew, that it wasn't cheap skincare.

And from the description of this line, it sounded just up my street.

I have now after about 3 weeks come almost to the end of this little kit and is ready to report.

Mud Face… Review - Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying!

Oh, I love the Internet and especially the beauty/fashion community on the Internet.

If it hadn't been for the beauty community, I would never have bought this one.

I have had some luck with the Sephora Skincare line in the past, but still I would probably never have reached for this one.

But when I heard it was a good dupe for the Glamglow (which I haven't tried though) and I saw the price, I decided, there really was nothing to loose.

I have now been giving it a good try for a couple of months and it ready to report.

Ultra Simple Face… Review - Kiehl's Ultra Faciel Toner & Ultra Facial Cleanser!

I have a kind of love/hate relationship with Kiehl's skincare. I love both the Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Eye Cream, but the Ultra Facial Moisturiser didn't work for me and irritated my skin.

But after getting some samples of these two in a gift set for Christmas, I was ready to give them a proper try.

I did only get the travel size, but they are very generous and great for a thorough test-run.

Moisture Search Part II… New Moisturiser Search - La Roche-Posay Toleriane Riche, La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Riche & L'Occitane Ultra Rich Comforting Cream!

So back last spring I did part one of this little instalment - granted at that point, I really didn't think it would have to become a series, however I have yet to find the perfect moisturiser to replace my Korres Watercress Extra Moisturising Cream.

Before we get started with the lowdown of these three, let me just get rid of some negativity - It really makes me very irritated, when skincare brands claims that a moisturiser is for very dry/dehydrated and sensitive skin and then it really isn't.

With that out of the way let get started.

Sensitivo… Review - First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads!

I have this for quite a while, but just the other day, I realized, that I had never talked about them here.

I do have very sensitive skin, and I didn't react well to the Pixi Glow Tonic - after using it for a month or so, it just dried out my skin so bad.

But I have also had a hard time with physical exfoliators the past year, so I was on the look out for a chemical one, that was still suitable for my sensitive skin.

Balmy Joy… Review Balm Balm Face Balm & Deep Cleansing Balm!

I love me a bit of balm. So one day when I was browsing Feelunique.com and stumbled across this brand, it really spiked my interest.

Balm Balm is a 100 % organic/natural skincare line. I have really good experiences with organic skincare, so that just enhanced my interest.

They have a wide range of skincare, including some really nice balm products, and I decided to get two go these.

Moisture Search… My search for a new moisturiser feat. Pai Hydrating Day Cream And FAB Ultra repair Face Moisturizer!

I kind of knew it, but wouldn't really recognize it - my moisturiser love, Korres Watercress Extra Moisturising Cream has been discontinued (Major sad face!!).

I had a hard time getting a hold of one this autumn, but now it is sold out everywhere and have been for a good while.

I like trying new products, but I always have a really hard time finding a good moisturiser, so this is far from a happy event.

But I still decided to give it a go and see, if I could something, that gave me the same extreme moisture without irritating my skin.

Skin Hydrators… Product Battle - Caudalie Vinosourse Serum vs. Antipodes H2O Intensive Serum!

The Caudalie SOS Thirst Quenching Serum has been a staple in my skincare routine for quite a while.

But a few months ago, as I was running low, I decided it was time to try something new, however still something, that did the same.

I have a really love/hate relationship to Antipodes, some of their products I adore and some of them, not so much!

But I really liked the sound of this one, so I wanted to give it a try.

They pretty much claim to do the same - give you skin a good injection of hydration, so I thought a product battle was needed!

Save my face… Review - Antipodes Manuka Honey Treatment Mask!

My skin is not perfect. 

But I try my best to stay to a routine, I know works and keeps my skin at its best - with the occasional try out of new products of course:-)

However some time as with so many other things in life, my skin just kind decide to be bad.

When that happens I'm always in desperate search for that quick fix product, so that it turns back to normal state as quickly as possible.

A while ago I decided to give this Antipodes mask a go, because it seemed to do a bit of everything.

Holy Cleanse… Review/rave - Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel!

Sometimes something magical happens - the first time I used this cleanser was one of those moments!

Cleansers are normally not the place, where I expect to get an experience like that.

But oh, what a difference a good cleanser makes.

A Pleasure Tool… Review - Foreo Luna Mini!

I have been lusting after a Clarisonic for - well as long as I have known about it.

But there were some issues, that kind of meant, that I kept on postponing getting it.

Firstly, it wasn't sold in Denmark until recently.

Secondly, it is quite an investment.

And thirdly it is not a one time investment, as you have to change the brush head every so often, which would also have been kind of a hassle, when it wasn't stocked in my home country!

But then last year this bad boy hit the market, and I got an instant must-have feeling.

Actually even more, than I ever had with the Clarisonic - the whole look and idea behind it, just intrigued me.
Probably partly because it seemed to be the electronic version of the Sephora Exfoliation Disc, that I loved at that time (which is still in my opinion a great very budget-friendly alternative)

Silky Oil… Review - The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil!

After quite a long affair with the butter/balm cleansers as my night time make up remover, I'm now back to my old love affair - the cleansing oil!

After trying The Body Shop Cleansing Butter and hearing amazing reviews on this one, I decided to get this instead of repurchasing the butter cleanser.

Because I have switched my night time cleanser to a balm cleanser, I thought it would be better with oil make up remover then balm cleanser, instead of double balm - does it make sense? :-)

Only one… Review/May Favourite - Caudalie Vinosource SOS Morning Eye Rescue!

I was trying to put together my list of May favourites, but found it really hard.

I felt like there was actually only one product, that really stood out to me this month.

Not that I haven't enjoyed other products, but they are product I have mentioned a million times before or that I'm don't feel, I have used enough to call favourites.

Also this month, I haven't been using a lot of products, as I have been occupied with exam reading.

But I still really wanted to let you know about this product - The Caudalie Vinosource SOS Morning Eye Rescue.

Oil Off… Product Battle - Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate vs. Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil!

It probably comes as no surprise for the returning reading, that I love oils - Oils in my hair, oils on body and oils on my face.

However I have to admit, that when it comes to the face, oils are probably best suited for the night.

Also with face oils, as with all other skincare, it is important to find the one perfect for your skin type.

These two are über hyped, so I thought, I would let you know my thoughts about them and which one I prefer.

Butter up Part III… Review - Eve Lom Cleanser!

This is actually not market as a cleansing balm/butter, but even in the pictures, it becomes clear, that it is very much like them.

And that is also, what drew me to it, when I saw it as a gift with a magazine subscription.

Butter up part II - Review - The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter!

A year ago I discovered the wonder, that is a butter cleanser with the Antipodes Grapeseed Butter Cleanser.

It has been my go-to make up remover this past year.

Recently The Body Shop came out with their version, which is more budget friendly.

And when I last ran out of my Antipodes one, I decided to give it a go.
