To cleanse or not to cleanse that is the question!

Good Morning Magic Friends

I hope you are having wonderful Sundays! I am writing this on Thursday night as i am at a very good friends Hen Doo on Saturday night and i imagine whilst you are reading this i am either still asleep or feeling less than par to say the least!!!

As you know we recently went to Belfast for a girl weekend.  One of the best things about going away is definitely the Duty Free shopping and seeing as i was child free i kinda went a bit crazy!

I have never really been a Clarins fan eeek am I  allowed to say that out loud? 

I do however love love the Daily Energizer Cream Gel - which i had to re-purchase as i had finished my first pot! (Lee blogged about this a few weeks ago) Its such a fantastic moisturiser!

Whilst i was in the Clarins section i saw this fabulous little travel set! 

Please don't shout at me but i never take my make up off at night nor do i cleanse or tone! So when i saw this One Step Facial Cleanser i thought WOW this sounds good to me! You literally shake the bottle - put some on a cotton wool pad and wipe and leave on - no rinsing required! Like how amazing and easy is that!? 

Another item in the pack is HydroQuench Cream - i've been using this before bed and i really like it!! It feels really nice on my skin and when i wake my skin feel good! 

Also within the set is a Hand and Nail Treatment, Beauty Flash Balm, Moisture Rich Body Lotion and an Eye Contour  (none of which i have yet used but watch this space!)

One Step Cleanser Rocks My World it should be in all Mummy to be / Just had baby packages!! I am now a Clarins Fan!!!!

Daily energiser? yes please!!

So not so long ago a little bomb dropped in my brain... Wow i'm going to be 30 in just over 6 months! Then the next thing i thought was 'Wow that's like legitimate adulthood' (because being married with 2 kids and all that jazz doesn't count as being an adult haha). So then the third thing i thought was jeez i better start looking after my skin before i get wrinkles!

Hand on my heart i am not very good at sticking to beauty regimes. I have tried in the past and by the past i mean before i had kids because who has the time or energy for a 27 step beauty routine day and night when you have a 3 yr old saying mummy get me some breakfast and your 18 month old has emptied all your makeup onto the floor whilst your telling your 3 yr old to hang on a second?.

So to make things easier on myself i thought i would buy a nice moisturiser and attempt to put this on every morning and if i stick to it maybe i can add in some other magic potions? Baby steps and all that!

So after this long thought process and after checking some of my fave beauty blogs i decided on Clarins Créme Eclat du Jour £21, Or for us english folk, Daily Energizer Cream.

First impressions its quite a bit lighter than i expected. Quite similar but a bit thicker to the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel which is really good if you are prone to oily skin. It has a lovely fresh fragrance but if your put off by scents you prob wont like this. 

It soaks in really quickly so theres no hanging around to put your makeup up and i love how it makes my skin feel its really smooth and i don't feel like my skin is clogged up or greasy as with some heavier moisturisers. After using religiously for 3 weeks my skin felt and looked so much better and definitely energised! If only it would give me real life energy ha!
