2014 Beauty Favourites - Skincare

Hello beauties, time for the skincare portion of my 2014 favourites. Let's just jump right in!

New Makeup New Look 

CLEANSERS

1. Bioderma Cleansing Water. There's no other makeup removers that are better than this bottle of wonder. No irritation and does the job!
2. Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm. This will forever be in my skincare routine. It is hands down the best balm cleanser I've ever used.
3. Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel. Best beauty find in 2014. Dreamy texture + natural/exfoliating skincare ingredients = happy/beautiful skin.
4. Osaka Perfect Cleanser. It is dreamy! If you like thick balms then look no further. (Photo now shown because I had finished up the whole thing, but do click the link for deets)

TONER

1. Pixi Glow Tonic. If I can choose only one toner for the rest of my life, this will be it. Hydrator and gentle exfoliator in one big bottle! 

FACE OILS

1. Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial. This is what I call a radiant skin in a bottle. Fabulous skincare discovery in 2014. Best thing of all, it is a serum, moisturiser and facial massage oil all in one. 
2. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Works wonders for my skin, and the lavender scent is just so calming. Can't go wrong with this!
3. Tarte Maracuja Oil. No scent, gorgeous texture and works well for all skin types specially for those of you who have pigmentation.

SPF

1. Kiehl's Daily Ultra Light UV Defender SPF 50 PA +++. High in SPF which is absolutely essential for someone like me who lives on an island. Light in texture and fragrance free.

LIP CARE

1. Nuxe Reve de Miel. Love the fact that it is so thick, great for those cold days!
2. Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm. HG lip balm, can be used as a lip mask as well, so nourishing and works great as a base before lipstick. 

MASKS/TREATMENTS

1. GlamGlow Youthmud and Supermud. Best mud masks hands down. Does what it says on the tin, so if you are looking for a couple of good mud masks then these are the way to go. Healthy/youthful skin in a pot! (FYI Finished up my Supermud mask so it is not shown in this photo)
2. Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. It is, in my opinion, a dupe of the GlamGlow Youthmud. 
3. Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask. Interesting texture and leaves skin feeling fresh and hydrated, and love the light pink colour!
4. John Masters Organic Calendula Hydrating & Toning Mask. If organic skincare is your cup of tea then you've got to try this one. A good natural moisturising mask for all skin types.
5. Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque. Best solution for one of those hormone spotty days. It just wipes away pretty much all of my little spots and blemishes. It won't get rid of the big painful ones but it will tone down the redness and dry out the greasy bit.
