Hello everyone! I hope you're all well and having a lovely week. Today's review is about a product that I have been using religiously for a good 8 months and has become a firm favourite in my skin care routine. Silkia's Re-Gen Cream is a specially formulated product that is designed to help prevent and treat different skin conditions such as scars, stretch marks and blemishes. My skin has always been problematic and one of the main issues I faced was scarring and marks left after having a blemish on my face. The blemish itself would go within about a week or so, but the mark left afterwards could stay for months on end leaving my skin looking uneven. So after hearing about this product, I instantly knew I had to try it and see whether it would finally put a stop to my pesky skin condition!

Re-Gen Cream contains a lot of ingredients that are very beneficial to improving your skin's condition. Firstly, it contains an active ingredient called PCL Liquid which is meant to aid skin regeneration and help improve the condition of your skin. It also contains Vitamin E which is an essential and powerful anti-oxidant that can help protect and repair your skin. As well as these important ingredients, Re-Gen Cream contains: Lavender, Calendula, Chamomile and Rosemary Oils which can help soothe and soften your skin. To me, all of these claims sounded amazing and the fact it contains Chamomile meant it was going to be perfect for my sensitive skin! Also, you may be able to tell it contains similar ingredients to Bio-Oil which is amazing at helping scars, stretch marks and dry skin. However, putting an oil on my face has never appealed to me as I thought it would cause more problems than it could solve! This is why Re-Gen Cream stood out to me so much; as it's a cream formula it makes it perfectly safe to apply to your face without the risk of causing more blemishes or making your skin oilier.

I apply Re-Gen Cream twice a day after cleansing and toning my face as it is brilliant at moisturising and hydrating my skin. I take a small amount and I massage it all over my face and concentrate it on the areas where there are more scarring, blemish marks and dryness. The cream is very thick, pleasant to apply and really feels like it moisturising my skin! I then leave it for about 5 minutes to sink in - this is more important in the morning when I'm applying it before my makeup. I find that this cream leaves my skin feel soft and supple and actually creates quite a nice base to apply my makeup over. As for long term results, I can definitely say that Re-Gen Cream has helped clear up my blemish marks a lot quicker than if I were to leave them naturally. I've also found that I rarely get dry patches of skin which I was very prone to getting under my eyes and along my jaw line. Another great thing about this cream is the scent, as it contains all these natural oils it makes it smell very relaxing, soothing and perfect for using just before bed!

Overall, I absolutely love this product and I can see me using this for a very long time! It has definitely improved the overall condition of my skin and now I don't have to spend as much time covering up the uneven areas of my face. I love the fact that you can use Re-Gen Cream as your day and night moisturiser as well as a treatment for a lot of minor skin conditions you may have. I've bought Re-Gen Cream from both Asda and Home Bargains, so the only problem I've found is that it's not widely available to everyone. But if you're looking for a purse-friendly product that will help the condition of your skin, I would highly recommend you trying Silkia Re-Gen Cream!

A couple weeks ago I finally jumped on the "Dainty Doll bandwagon" and bought a couple of their blushers from Fragrance Direct (read the haul HERE)! Dainty Doll is a makeup brand designed by Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts and is tailored for girls with pale skin. Being a pale skin girl myself, I knew I wanted to give some of the products a go! I was originally going to buy some lipsticks but they were all sold out on Fragrance Direct, so I decided to go for some blushers instead! I spent quite a while picking and choosing different ones until I found the 2 gorgeous shades "You Are My Sunshine" and "Paper Roses". I knew I wanted to try a powder and a cream formula, purely out of blogger curiosity, and these were the shades that stood out to me the most!

Firstly, the packaging is absolutely lovely and everything you would want in a blusher! Each product comes in its own black box with a cartoon lady on the front (I'm guessing Nicola Roberts herself, right?). The blushers come in a black compact each with their own little mirror inside which makes these perfect for popping in your hand bag and using on the go! I really like the packaging of these blushers and makes them look and feel like a high end product.

"You are my sunshine" was the first blusher I picked out. This is a powder blusher in a gorgeous golden peach shade. It has the perfect amount of shimmer in to give your cheeks a lovely glow, plus the pigmentation is amazing and gives your cheeks a peachy flush of colour! The formula is really soft, easy to blend and applies really well with my "Elite Models Beveled Blush Brush". I love the gentle colour it gives my skin but I can tell you can build this up if you prefer a strong colour to your cheeks. I also find it lasts on my skin for a good amount of time, almost all day, which is much longer than many blushers I've tried before! This has definitely become my favourite everyday blusher and I think this will look gorgeous in the Summer when the sun can reflect the golden shimmers to make you look extra glowy!

"Paper Roses" is my second Dainty Doll blush and this comes in a cream formula. It's a very pretty, delicate pink shade and I think would look amazing on very pale girls. This blusher has a matte finish and is really well pigmented considering it's a cream formula. I've had past experiences of cream blushers offering little to no colour at all, so this is one of the best I have tried! It gives a gorgeous flush of pink to the cheeks and due to the formula, can be used on the lips to give a hint of colour. As it is a cream blusher, I simply apply and blend this with my fingers, however I find this can make it look a bit patchy so I might pick up a stippling brush to apply this with! For me, this blusher doesn't last as much on the cheeks as the powder one, but I think that is down to its cream formula. I think this is a lovely blusher but right now, I feel that I need to find the perfect brush to go with it so I can start to enjoy using it!

So overall, I am really impressed with Dainty Doll's blushers and I am tempted to pick up another shade next time I order with Fragrance Direct (if they're not all sold out that is!). I would recommend these blushers to any girls with paler skin and can't seem to find makeup that suits them properly! They are currently £1.99 on Fragrance Direct, saving you £11.51, an amazing deal to miss out on!

Review | Benefit Fine One One

Benefit Fine One One Swatch Review Belle-amie
Pink Champagne, Sheer Watermelon & Soft Coral - 2 swipes

Benefit is one of my favourite high end makeup brands. The packaging of their products is simply amazing and makes me want to buy all of their products! The Benefit Fine One One makes no exception to this rule and I was so excited to hear I had won this beautiful product in Chelsea's (Through Chelsea's Eyes) giveaway last month! The Benefit Fine One One has become a staple in my everyday makeup routine so I thought it was about time I reviewed it for you!

Fine One One is a cream cheek and lip product that contains 3 different shades which together give the skin a beautiful pop of colour! The 3 shades are: Pink Champagne (a shimmery pink highlight), Sheer Watermelon (a sheer pink blush) and Soft Coral (a matte coral blush or contour). This product is designed to be swiped across the cheek towards the temple and then blended for an effortless glow to the skin. As I like my blusher quite natural, just 1 swipe of the Fine One One is perfect as it gives me the right amount of colour to my cheeks. As each of the 3 shades are separate, this also means it's easy to apply just 1 of the shades to the lips or even use the highlight on the brown bone! I love how versatile this product is and even though I haven't use it that much on my lips, it's nice to know that you can.

This product also lasts very well, I've tried some cream blushers that instantly wear off the skin but the Fine One One is nothing like this! I would say it lasts a good 4-6 hours depending on how much you've applied and whether you've set it with your face powder. It will also depend on your skin type and because I have quite dry cheeks, it seems to last a good amount of time. Saying that, I've never found it to cling to any dry patches on my cheeks and it looks completely natural once blended in!

And last but not least, the packaging! I love anything rose gold and to me, this is absolutely gorgeous! The Fine One One comes in a small metal case which you pull off the lid to reveal the product. You can then twist it up or down with the little dial at the bottom. In the picture above I have turned the stick up fully, so you do get a fair amount of product, especially that you only need a small amount to achieve a lovely glow! I like how it's very compact and it would look amazing sitting on your dressing table!

Overall I am in love with this product. It's everything I would want in a cream blusher and I'm so happy to have this in my makeup collection! I would definitely recommend anyone to try this and think it's going to be amazing for the Summer months where you need that bright pop of colour to the cheeks!
