My Sk:n Clinic Glasgow consultation + treatment plan for scarring

sk:n clinic glasgow consultation + treatment plan for scarring

If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I always mention hormonal breakouts on my jawline and neck. I also complain about all the scarring and redness around those areas and any marks left after occasional blemishes on the rest of my face. I didn't really want to take any pills or antibiotics to deal with my problem, so I waited patiently for my hormones to calm down and I think that my skin is finally at the stage when I can deal with all the damage. That's why I was absolutely ecstatic, when I was contacted by www.sknclinics.co.uk who invited me for a consultation at their Glasgow clinic and offered me a course of treatments I might need to get my skin back to normal. I was considering booking an appointment and treatments anyway, so the timing was absolutely perfect. I went for my first visit last Monday and I am happy to report that I decided to go ahead with the treatments.

Gucci Guilty Intense EDP


I've been meaning to try this fragrance since it launched in 2011, but for some reason this is my first bottle of Gucci Guilty Intense Eau de Parfum. If I knew how beautiful it was, I would have added it to my collection ages ago. Why is it so beautiful? Well... it smells like fresh lilacs - one of my favourite flowers. It isn't a simple floral fragrance though. It is much more sophisticated and sexy. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous too and looks and feels very luxurious.

Eucerin products now available at Escentual


If you love skincare, you must have heard about Eucerin. I haven't tried any of their products until last week, but it is quite a popular brand in the blogging community. Eucerin products tackle many skin issues, from hyperpigmentation to dryness and there is something for everyone. I decided to try one of their sun protection products and a brightening nigh cream. Escentual started stocking the brand recently and they are offering 1/3 OFF all their French Pharmacy brands throughout June, including Eucerin, so if you have been curious about their products, you can now try them with a big discount! 

May Favourites


I am a couple of days late with my 'May Favourites'  but they are finally here :) I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year and my baby boy will be 3 years old on the 24th of June! Oh my... I am getting old :) haha. Back to the subject - I have a nice selection of skincare, haircare, bodycare and makeup to share with you and a beautiful fragrance as well.

Brand Spotlight: Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic


When it comes to skincare, I try to stick to the brands I know or ones recommended to me by other bloggers. I was very intrigued by the Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic range though and the packaging made me want to try it even more. Just look at it - it is stunning! Sleek black containers with a touch of silver and very functional pumps. I had a chance to try the Hydrating Mango Face Cream and Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover and I am seriously impressed.

Weekend Pamper #2


I am not sure, if this feature will be a weekly occurrence, but I am hoping to mention some pamper products most weekends, or when I have some new exciting products to try out. I love a good pamper night, so it is something I enjoy talking/writing about. Here are some of the products I used last night :) 

Illmasqua Summer 2014: Velvet Blush & Matte Lip Liquid


Illamasqua's Summer 2014 Collection looks absolutely divine. The imagery is stunning and the new products come in very Summer appropriate colours. The new additions include 3 Matte Lip Liquids, 3 Velvet Blushers, Matte Veil and a Matte Top Coat for nails. I was kindly sent two products to try out: Surrender Matte Lip Liquid and Sleek Velvet Blush. They are both beautiful!

theBalm Balm Voyage Palette

I don't own a massive selection of theBalm products, but everything I have tried from them so far has been absolutely amazing, from stunning highlighters to buttery soft eye shadows. The newest addition to my makeup collection is the 'Balm Voyage' palette and I am slightly obsessed with it. The selection of eye shadows and lip/cheek colours is perfect and the formulas are a dream to apply.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette Review


I didn't want to review this beautiful palette when I first got it, because it was limited edition and it sold out pretty quickly, leaving many  makeup addicts slightly disappointed (even devastated). I almost missed out on it myself. That's why I had this review saved in my drafts ready to be published when the palette is available for UK customers again. Well... you can probably guess that is now back in stock and available via Space NK. YAY!

So Susan Wide Awake Palette & Lacquerlove Box


I remember seeing the So Susan Wide Awake Palette in a beauty box a year or two ago, but other than that, I haven't really heard much about the brand. Interesting fact - So Susan was created by Susan Chyi - who previously created Jelly Pong Pong. Is it just the same brand under a new name? I am not sure. The products are similar or almost identical to JPP. I also noticed that the brand is based in London, but the prices are in dollars. I am slightly confused... Anyway... Let's find out what I think about the products.

Weekend Pamper #01


When I am feeling down, all I want to do is take a long hot bath, put a face mask on (or three) and have some 'me time' to help me relax and lift my mood.  I have a little routine that I usually stick to, but the products I use change all the time. The more luxurious they are, the better the experience :) Without further ado, let me tell you about all the steps in my pamper routine.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer & Lip Gloss #HowDoYouHoola


This little bronzer quickly became one of my favourite products and the fact that it has my name on it made it even more special. I've tried a mini Hoola bronzer in the past, but for some reason I didn't repurchase it. I know, I am such a fool :) haha. Benefit Hoola Bronzer is absolutely stunning and I couldn't be more excited about having it back in my life. I also got a chance to try the Hoola lip gloss and I think it's fantastic! I love the formula of Benefit Ultra Plush Glosses - they feel incredible on the lips. After putting both products to the test and I can finally  share my #HowDoYouHoola selfie, complete with a Hawaiian necklace :)
