My Skincare Routine :)

Hey guys! So for today's blog post, I'll be sharing with you guys my Skincare routine! As a teenager, it's really important to take care of your skin cos if you don't, you'll get......(dramatic pause)




ACNE.


                             


I'm sure no one wants acne. (I know I don't!) I'm gonna share the products I use with you guys because I've been using this same brand I'm about to tell you in a while since I was 11 and it's really affordable and works amazingly.I've never really had any acne problems, my skin has always been clear. However, I must say only ONE brand has caused me to break out before and that is Clean & Clear.


                              


I denied that it was the product that broke me out, I kept blaming my period. I got really annoyed skin because I never really had to deal with acne until I started using Clean & Clear. But I watched reviews online and most of them were negative.So if you have acne and use Clean & Clear, you might wanna stop using it... Ok enough rambling. LET'S BEGIN! (lol)


Ok so I've been using Biore's facial cleansers since I was 11. I've used the one for oily skin, combination skin, dry skin, and so much more. After switching out the different kinds of facial cleansers, I found the one that works best for teenagers, and for my skin of course.I'm currently using the Bioré Acne Care facial foam aka the one with the orange packaging haha.It's anti-bacterial, prevents acne and gets rid of any excess oil, which is great, because my skin tends to get oily throughout the day. This product really helps because if you have oily skin and don't use a proper facial cleanser, you probably will get acne.


                      

I've repurchased the Acne Care facial cleanser multiple times now, and I have clear, acne-free skin :) You can get it at any drugstore or at Watsons, you can get it anywhere really. 




That's not all. If you watch beauty gurus on YouTube, you may have already realized that most of them use the Clarisonic. Well I'm only 14 so I don't feel the need to spend over a $100 on my skin. I'll insert a picture of the Clarisonic below :)


                   


However, I did want to find a substitute for the Clarisonic. As I was watching Bubzbeauty's "A Day in The Life of Bubz" video, I saw that she used this fish-shaped looking thing which is used with your facial cleanser, like the Clarisonic. I don't really know how to explain what it looks like, so i'll insert Bubz' vlog below. (she uses it at 0:22)





The difference between the Clarisonic and this thing is firstly, it's WAAAAAY more affordable than the Clarisonic. I bought mine about a year ago for about $8.50 if I'm not wrong, from Sasa. It works really well with the facial cleanser and gently exfoliates your skin, getting rid of all that sweat and oil built up throughout the day. I wouldn't suggest using it with a facial cleanser that already exfoliates your skin though, because it may be too abrasive. If you use makeup, this product also helps get rid of all the makeup on your face. Click here to see the product on the Sasa website :) 




So, the way I use these products is pretty basic. i get about 2cm of the facial cleanser on my palm, make it all foamy, apply all over my face, then I use the facial brush to exfoliate my skin before washing it off with cold water :) 


Right so that's it for today! I hope this helped you guys :)


BYE GUYS! Xx

Review: BEDHEAD Ego Boost Leave-in Conditioner

Hey guys! So as some of you may know, I recently went to Sasa to get a few things. As I was looking around, I noticed that Sasa finally had the BEDHEAD products!!

So I was with Enya that day and we were talking about how beauty gurus liked the BEDHEAD products so I thought i'd give it a go :)

We ended up getting the BEDHEAD Ego Boost Leave-in Conditioner cos it looked promising and it was on sale so why not? ( It was $19.90 I believe) I'll insert a photo of the product below :)

I've been using this product everyday, once at night after I wash my hair, and once in the morning before I go to school. I noticed that when you use it with dry hair, you can really tell that your hair feels SO much softer after applying the conditioner and letting it dry.

If you're wondering how I use this product, I basically split my hair into two. Then I take about two quick pumps and spread it evenly throughout one side of my hair. I do the same for the other side, then I just brush through my hair with a paddle brush and let it dry! :)

Note: if you use it after showering, let your hair dry for a bit first before applying, and you may want to use a comb instead of a brush because you don't wanna be pulling out your hair! ><

Alright then, that's all for today! All in all, I do recommend the BEDHEAD EgoBoost leave-in conditioner and I can't wait to try more of their products! :)

Bye guys! Xx

Hey guys!! So my birthday was last Sunday, 8th of April and I turned 14 (Y) I didn't really do anything extravagant but I got to spend time with my family and cousins which to me, is one of the best ways to celebrate your birthday :)


 I got presents ranging from clothes to just cute little random presents from my cousin. The next day in school, I also got really cute gifts from my dear friends <3 And.... I got cake and whipped cream smooshed on my face too but I must say it was one of the few highlights of my birthday haha. 


So, just as a disclaimer before I share what I got, I AM NOT trying to boast, I personally love birthday hauls, I watch all kind of hauls on YouTube and they're super fun for me and I appreciate every single one of my presents <3 okay, so to go get to the point, I'm just gonna show you what I got for my birthday! :)

Bonjour! ;)

Hey everyone! So recently, I've had quite a few interesting things happening in my life (haha) and I wanted to have a place where I could share my experiences with my friends and anyone basically. I used to blog a lot in primary school, then I kinda just stopped in P6 and never really blogged after that. I missed it, so I'm back! :') hahaha.

 So if you know me personally, you'd know how much I LOVE vlogging and I pretty much vlog every time I go out for an excursion or learning journey, or even if I'm just at home. I just... like vlogging. So I may also post vlogs for you guys :)

Few things about me: I'm 14, I love Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle /obsessed/ and I can't live a day without singing :) From this introductory post you can probably already tell that I talk a lot and I have a lot to say, sometimes just saying random things that aren't even related. For example, I had pocky just now. I love pocky XD

Haha ok so now to the actual point of this post, I'll be blogging about beauty, fashion, makeup, hair... So many things :D haha and I'll also be blogging about anything if I think it's interesting and I wanna share it with you guys. So... Do keep checking my blog for new posts... (I'll be doing another blog post soon: birthday haul/whipped cream face XD) haha I'd do the whole "tell you more about me" thing, but it'd be way too rambly and long haha so anyway, yeah that's about it :{) BYE GUYS! ;D
