Product review - Neutrogena PureGlow daily cleansing cushions

Hi everyone :)

While I was babysitting my mum's house I came across this interesting box of goodies - Neutrogena PureGlow daily cleansing cushions. I've tried to look these up online but not with much luck. I think they retail around the £5/under mark (22 cushions in a box).

These cleansing cushions are basically one smooth (I say smooth, but really it has little tiny bumps on it, rougher than a cotton pad) and one ridged/ textured(?) cotton pads stuck together with room to put two fingers into - like cleansing cushion finger gloves?!

You slightly dampened the cushion and gently scrub your face (I like circular motions). The cushions release a creamy lather and cleanse and gently exfoliate. I must say they were really nice to use. Left my skin feeling clean, fresh and not dry. 

I went round my face once with the stripey/textured side and then again with the smooth side. 

These are probably gently to use everyday but I just used it 3 times in the week I was there. No problems with it at all, it was particularly satisfying around the nose area!

Even if these were readily available I am not sure if they are worth £5 as you could easily recreate the effectiveness yourself, but if it was 2 boxes for £5 I may reconsider for the convenience and  novelty. They'd also be a handy product to take on a trip.

Have you tried this product before? Do you know of anything similar I could try?

Mini beauty bits haul

Hi Guys,

A while ago I picked up some bits that I thought that I would share with you all.

First up is a repurchase of my favourite 'budget' perfume - Intimately. This is my 7th bottle maybe? I got this from The Perfume Shop, £14.99 for 75ml - you can get this for under £12 online (try Fragrance Direct). Throughout the summer I was searching for a summer smell but I was unsuccessful and it's September now so I've just stuck with my fail safe fragrance. 

The next few bits I picked up from my favourite shop, the 99p store - needless to say, these cost me 99p each (BARGAIN!!!)

You can imagine that after my hair bleaching marathon my hair is a tad bit dry - I saw this on the shelves and thought I would give it a go. I'm not too fussy with conditioner as I don't apply it to my scalp so no negative skin reactions to worry about. I haven't given this a go yet - if it's amazing I'll give you an update. 

Having a love hate relationship with the face wash. Hating it because potentially it's too drying for me; but that's my fault for buying an oil free exfoliator/foaming scrub. So anyway, the good stuff - this leaves my face feeling nice and fresh - what more could you ask for from a face wash?! The scrubby bits aren't too harsh and the washy bit foams up easily. 

Last but not least - the oh so glamorous anti dandruff shampoo. The change in weather is playing havoc with my skin.  My face, ears ad hair are suffering the most. I don't have dandruff as such, but my scalp is really dry so I thought this might help? This is a repurchase and I like it because I find it more gentle than head and shoulders - not sure if this is actually true but it's ok and it's 99p so yay!

When I was younger the change is weather didn't really affect me and I used the same products all year round. Now I'm finding myself having to 'switch up' my shiz as my skin is an oil slick one day and then dessert dry the next. Annoying and costly. Oh well #firstworldproblems !!! Any recommendations for dry skin?
