The often overlooked but important part of the routine – the
moisturisers! Here is what is making up the bulk of my nourishment at the
moment. (This post was directly inspired by Tiffany's post over on Will Work for Makeup!)
Suvana Paw Paw
& Honey Balm*
This newly packaged all-purpose balm seems to have been
reformulated a touch, as the honey seems less overpowering than my old school
tube was. I use this on dry patches such as cuticles and dry patches, and use a
really thin layer over my lips overnight (too much and the honey sort of burns
my throat, but less so than it used to) The new packaging is super cute and
something that is perfect for throwing in your handbag on windy days.
Origins Drink Up
Intensive Overnight Mask
This is such an
amazing product, it is perfect for lazy nights where I don’t want to apply a
sheet mask and sit up for a while or I can’t be bothered painstakingly rinsing
off a messy mask. You apply it as you would a night cream in place of all of
your other products after cleansing, and wake up the next morning with bouncy
happy skin. It smells incredible and doesn’t leave a residue on pillows so
there is seriously no stress involved.
Aveeno Positively
Radiant Intensive Night Cream*
I’ve mentioned this
previously here and here, and have returned to using it as my night cream as I ponder my
beauty cabinet for a new one to try – I’m thinking Olay Regenerist or Kiehl’s
Ultra Facial will be next, any thoughts on those? Any other night cream
recommendations?
L’Occitane Pivoine
Flora Beauty Milk*
This is light and
fast-absorbing with a delicate floral scent as
the name would suggest. I adore the packaging as I do with much of L’Occitane
products, and I find that this does a nice job on balmy nights when I want
smooth skin without the weight of body butter.
Clinique
Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion +*
I much prefer this
version to the previous formulation, and I had a wonderful time at the
Melbourne launch event which was held at the divine Mecca Maxima Highpoint earlier in the year (giant yellow balloons,
delectable finger food and a chance for a private shop with a voucher from
Mecca along with quality time with beautiful beauty bloggers – yup, it was
pretty amazing) This is my dear friend Carly’s favourite lotion, and I like the
way it does the job without a fuss and without breaking me out.
What new moisturisers have you been using lately? Anything new
I need to investigate? I would love to hear YOUR routine in the comments below!
