My skin care routine

Hi everyone!
Today I would like to share with you my skin care routine. I'm not a cosmetic freak but my face is the most important part which I always try to keep in best condition. To be honest, I've got a lot imprefections on my face. When I was tenager, I've been thinking that would pass when I will be older, but it's not. Furthermore my skin is really oil last two years and I still try to fight with this problem as well. Matching cosmetics for my skin is therefore more difficult. But! I've always tried to keep my skin care simple. I'm not this kind of person who likes to have milions products. I'm rather minimalist.

In the evening first step is Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser. It's might be wird for some of you because I'm not using any make up remover before I wash my face. But I found it better for my skin that is why I always try to remove all my make up with hot cloth cleanser.

You can buy this product on sale for 5 pounds at Boots. I would reccomend this if you like hot cloth cleanser products. It's cheaper equivalent for Liz Earle.

Next step in my routine is micellar cleansing water from Garnier.


I'm always use this product to make sure that my make up was properly removed. Before, I used to use Loreal micellar water but now I wanted to try something different.

When my skin is already clean I apply night cream by Nivea. 


It's a anti-wrinkle product by for me prevention is better than cure even if I'm only 23 :)

And this is all for my evening routine. Now time for morning, which is even more simple than evening routine.

In the morning first step is a purifying. After all night with my night cream which is really nourishing,
I need to gently clean my face. The best product for that is La Roche Posay Effaclar gel for oily sensitive skin. When my skin is clean, I'm using La Roche Posay Serozinc which is great for cleansing and soothing my skin. 


And the last step of my morning skin care routine is hydrating cream Avene Hydrance Optimale.


That's the "big" secret of my skin care routine :) Of course I still test some new products but I didn't find anything better for now. I prefere to stick with my favourite products for longer. 
If you have used any of this products, let my know what you think about it. Share your tips how to "fight" with imperfections! :)

How to find best deals?

Hi guys!

Today's post will be about best deals I've ever found. I'm a woman and it's obvious that I will always looking for new cosmetics even if I have lot of them at home. What is my secret to find really good bargain? Watch, watch and watch! Every time when I'm at Boots or Superdrug I'm looking for reduced products. I'm trying not to buy cosmetics at regular price cos I know that I can find what I need at reduced price. Today for example, I found Avene Hydrance Optimale creme for 3,50! Regular price is 13,50 pounds! How I found this? I went to the Boots just for quick watch what is there new. Firstly I found reduced products shelf. And there it is! :)


Similar situation was 2 days ago. I went to Wilkinson to buy some chemicals and what? I found Shwarzkopf hair oil for 1,37 (regular price 5,49) and shower gel for 0,49 (regular price 1,99). I was looking for new hair oil few weeks but all of them were so expensive and I knew that some day I will find something good and cheap. And there it is :) 


Today I was looking for new shampoo at Morrisons when I found 2 John Frieda products for 2 pounds each (regular price 6 pound each).


Every time when you're going to the shops, keep your eyes open! It's worth it :) 

Of course you should be reasonable! Don't buy any products just because it's cheap. If you don't need this it doesn't make any sense cos after few months you will probably put it to the bin. 
Think before you buy.

What you can do else to save money buying cosmetics? Take advantages. Don't be affraid to ask about discounts or adantage cards.


If you're student, don't forget about NUS card!

Can't wait :)

News in my cosmetic bag


Hi guys!


We've got beautiful spring already. Are you happy? Because I'm! During last few weeks I was so busy that's why here was a bit quiet. Today I'm going to show you few of my new beauty products. 


1. First product is Clinique  blended face powder (£21 price). Mine is 20 invisible blend.
I bought it just because every time when I look at mirror my face seems to have different shade. I decided that transparent powder will be the best soultion for me. I'm using this powder for 1 month and I'm really happy. Once I finish this one I will let you know if I'm gonna buy next one. 



2. Lirene foot cream with 20% urea ( 2 pounds price)
This is product which I bought during my holiday in Poland. I heard a lot about it on youtube so I decided that I have to buy. I always have big problem with roughness and I hope this cream will help me. I did'n open this product yet cos I have different one to finish. But once I finish this one I'll let you know what I think about it. 


3. Bielenda hand cream (1 pound price).
If I bought foot cream, it was obvious that I'm gonna buy hand cream as well. I decided to buy this one just because was on sale. I will test it but I hope it gonna works cos I;m big fan of hand creams! 


4. Brightening hot cloth cleanser from Boots (5 pounds price).
If you know Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser you must try this one as well! This is cheaper equivalent for Loz Earle in my opinion. I found out about this on youtube and I went to buy it. I tried Liz Earle as well but smell of this product was too insolent for me. When I tried this one from Boots I was in seven heaven :) The smell is really nice and this price...! What could I want more? Just try it! 



I'm really happy because last few weeks I'm trying to use up all my beauty products which I have at home and DO NOT TO BUY anything unncessary. And I'm doing really well with my resolve :) Of course I still have many products but I'm really careful when I'm going to the shop. 

Have you bought any interesting products in last few weeks? :)

Kisses,
Poly

Project empty boxes #1

Hi there!
I wasn't here for a while... I lost my motivation and I was really lazy. Few times I tried to post something but I couldn't. Today I realized that I have a lot empty boxes! I collected them to show you my first empty boxes project. I don't know why but it's exciting when you finish some beauty products. Can you feel the same or maybe I'm odd?! Haha. So moving on, there is everything what I found in my house to show you guys.


This is my best lip balm ever! Cheap, smells nice and I love it. I meantioned about this here.

I bought this facial wash when we were traveling to Spain. Just because of flight regulation about cosmetics capacity. I don't like it at all! I hardly used it up. Really! My skin was really tight after using this one, and I felt like my skin is still dirty. I'm not gonna buy it anymore!

I mentioned about this conditioner here and here.

It's the worst anti-perspirant I've ever had! Smells not really nice and doesn't work for me. I used it up as a air freshener :D

Garnier body lotion. Hmmm it's hard to say something about this product. Actually it wasn't really bad but it's wasn't really good. I bought it on sale so I just paid something like 1,50 that's why I don't regret but to be honest, probably I'm not gonna buy this one anymore because was too sticky for me and I like really light body lotions formula.

This is my best shampoo available in the UK! I love this smell, price, and my hair after using this product. It's my fourth or fifth bottle. I really recommend! 

And I have to say again that I bought this shower milk because of sale. Probably I would never pay for shower gel more than 1 pound. I don't expect mirracles after using this kind of products. I just need nice smell and foam. That's why I'm not gonna pour into drains more than quid :) I will buy it in a future for sure...

This shower gel is my favourite because of smell. I'm aroma freak so it's the most vital things when I have to choose beauty products :)

This anti-perspirant it's definetely my favourite one! It does what it has to do, smells nice and is really gentle for my skin. Love it!

I don't like use body lotions but when I firts bought this product I felt in love. Why? Because of light formula which absorb really fast and I don't have sticky skin feeling. When I finished my firts bottle, I went to buy new and decided to take this one from picture. It was winter and I really hate cold. After using this lotion I was so angry cos I realized that this one has cooling effect! It was drama for me to use it up but I did. I still love this formula but next time I'm gonna read labels carefully :)

Neutrogena daily scrub. I really like this product. Every time when I used this one my boyfriend asked me: what's a nice smell? He really like it, so do I. This cosmetic is gentle for my skin, cleanses my face really good and lasts long. I'm gonna buy it one more time for sure!

Ufff... That's all of my empty boxes :)
I hope you are still here, read this post until the end. Please let me know if you used any of this products and what do you think about them? Now I can put all this empty boxes to the recycling bin and start collect new ones. 
Hope you enjoy guys. Please left some comment down below :)

Love,

February favourites

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to show you last month favourites. I know it's a little late... Hope you gonna forgive me :)


Favorite perfumes definitely Versace Bright Crystal. This is really light, fresh and floral fragrance. For those of you who wants feel femininely.


When I lived in Poland, I had my favourite face scrub but I found out really difficult to buy it now, when I live in UK. So I tried to find something what I can easily get here. St. Ives was first one which I tried and I know there not gonna be anymore :) I like smell of apricot and price especially. I'm so happy that I found my no. 1 scrub here!


I showed this conditioner on my blog already. It was few months ago when I had long hair. Than I cut them and I decided not use any conditioners for a while. A few days ago I used this nutrient again and I fell in love one more time (if it's possible :)) I love this fresh smell, soft and smooth hair effect. 


Certainly I can say: YT made me buy it and I don't regret. When I went to the shop to find something for my face I was torn between this product and Garnier Micellar Water. Finally I decided to take LOreal. When I finish this one I would like to try Garnier as well to compare them. For now I'm really happy using  LOreal because it's gentle for my eyes and removes make-up properly. 


I have no big expectations about shower gel. In my life I had maybe 3 shower gels which I wasn't really happy using them. Nivea hawaiian bliss smell realy nice and fresh, that's why I will buy it one more time in future. 


Time for make-up! I'm not big expert about make-up cosmetics. If something is good for me, I'm using this long time. Also I'm not buying many color cosmetics because my make-up is actually always the same. 
Long time I had a big problem to find good foundation. I have combination skin and few months ago I noticed that my T zone shine more than usally. I tried few foundation, and finally one of my friends recomended me Revlon Color Stay and I'm absolutely happy. My colour is buff. 
MAC studio finish I bought because of YT as well and I'm satisfied. Cover imprefections really well and is long lasting. That's what I need! And last one is Sleek blush. I always wanted try Sleek cosmetics. I like this colour and long lasting effect. Price is also really good. 




These are my favourites of the past month.
