OLE HENRIKSEN GLOW | BEAUTY


When I was browsing Boots website over the Christmas period I came across an Ole Henriksen gift set with these four products in and it had a great saving and a discount on top of that too! I have always wanted to try there products, especially this range so I thought what better way than a gift set of all of them?! The main product I wanted to try out of them all was the Truth Serum  as I have heard loads of great things about it. 
 I was definitely not disappointed with this serum. It is definitely my favourite product out of this range. I use this in my nighttime routine, as I felt it was too heavy for me to use in the day. The texture of it is a gel consistency and feels very luxurious on the skin, and it also absorbs into the skin very well. I leave it for around 2-3 minutes before I out my moisturiser on, as I want it to sink in properly, and I find this works very well. When I wake up in the morning my skin looks really glowy and refreshed and feels soft. I would recommend this product to people with dry, oily and combination skin types. If you have sensitive skin, I would do a patch test before you put it all over your face as it does have a scent to it which may irritate your skin. 
The Banana Bright Eye Creme was also a product I loved. This eye cream was really moisturising, but not greasy! I get quite dry eyelids as I wear false eyelashes quite often so the glue dries my eyes out quite often, but this has really helped to keep them mositurised. The moisturiser to go along with this eye cream is the Brightening Gel Creme. I only use this moisturiser at night as I feel it is quite heavy for me to use in the day, as I do get an oily t zone, but I have heard on lots of reviews that it is really good under makeup so depending on what your skin type is then test it out! It is not a thick consistency, as it is described as 'gel' but once placed onto your skin it is quite thick but sinks into the skin very well and quick. The Banana Bright Face Primer was not my favourite primer I have used. As I have an oily t zone, this did not sit very well for me under my foundations as it made me quite shiny quickly. The texture of it is like a moisturiser, whereas I prefer my primers to be quite lightweight and runny. If you had dry or normal skin and liked a glow this would be perfect for you. Overall I love this range from Ole Henriksen, and next I want to try the toners! 
Have you tried anything from Ole Henriken before?

THE ORDINARY NIACINAMIDE SERUM | BEAUTY


At the start of the year my skin was breaking out really bad on my forehead. I have struggled with acne in the past so was trying everything I knew, but nothing was working. My friend sent me a photo of The Ordinary Niacinimide + Zinc Serum , and said that I needed to try! It was only £5, so I thought why not? (If you're a student get it on ASOS then you get an extra 10% off too!) Also I have tried the toner, and rose hip seed oil from The Ordinary before and they worked really well, so I had high hopes.

The packaging is very sleek and simple, and the product dispenses in a pipette style, therefore it is very hygienic to apply onto the skin. The serum itself is a clear and lightweight formula, and sinks into the skin so well. I have normal to combination skin, and it works well for me, however I think this would suit all skin types as it is not heavy at all. I had no problems with adding this into my skincare routine, and I apply this just before my moisturiser morning and night.

After testing this morning and night for around 2 weeks I can say that I would really recommend this product, especially if you are struggling with your skin at the moment or having a breakout. It is such an affordable price for the quality of the product, and I am going to continue to use it everyday to help improve my skin.
