It's Simple!

Heey,

(Brace yourself it's a long one...)

So today I wanted to share with you a mini haul type post where I'm going to show you all of the Simple things that I got a few weeks ago. I asked my Mum if she could get me some Simple products and I went onto the Boots website to see how much it would cost and the things I wanted came to about £15 so my Mum went out the next day and bought them for me! I hadn't really had a skincare routine before although I did do a post on my nightly routine HERE and that did include some skincare stuff but not much from Simple. A lot of my readers are from America and you might not know what Simple is, you may have grasped that it is a skin care brand, and you would be correct but the reason that I love it so much is because it's reasonably priced but also, it's simple! Nothing fancy, just great products that do wonders for your skin.



The first thing was a face wash. This is the triple action anti - blemish facial wash and I love it! I saw results from day one and when I say results I mean I saw a difference in my skin where some spots used to be, they had either disappeared or started to go away. I don't want to stop using this product because I forgot to use it one night and the next morning I did have a few blemishes sprouting - not my best look!



Following on from my facial wash I asked for some oil - balancing face wipes. Now, I know that face wipes aren't great for your skin and you should use them rarely but these ones help to balance the oil on my skin. Unfortunately I was born with quite oily skin which I inherited from my Dad (thanks Dad) and I used to just have to use a bit more powder than anyone else which was quite inconvenient but now after using the wipes my skin has defiantly been a lot less oily! I don't use the wipes everyday but when I have been wearing a lot of make up or I'm sleeping over at my friends house then I do use them but now I'm thinking of getting an oil balancing facial wash?



I also received some toner. Now, I didn't really know what toner did to your skin, and I don't really understand now but I do know that it is good for my skin and I use it morning and night (if I can remember). I use the toner on a cotton wool pad and apply to my face in circular motions. The toner is from Simple's normal range and I believe it is the only toner they make but it's good enough for me!



The last thing that my Mum bought was the anti - blemish moisturizer. This is in the same collection as the face wash and a few other product that I am yet to own but I think this is the best moisturizer that I have ever tried! Obviously it isn't the best in the world but for the price that it is I think that it is amazing value. I don't use much because I don't want to waste it and I hate having excess moisturizer on my face. Again I saw results from day 1 and I will defiantly be repurchasing this product.



Now, for Christmas one of my best friends and fellow blogger, Amber, gave me a Simple foaming cleanser as well as some other things, but I use this daily. I love this cleanser because it is very easy to use and can be applied using my fingers whereas with some other cleansers I had I found that I got my best resulting using a cotton pad which was a bit annoying after a while. I don't know the magic behind how it foams but what I do know is that it goes from a water-like liquid inside the packaging and comes out as a foam! Amazing.



That's all I have so far for my new Simple stuff but I know somehow that I will have more soon!

What's your favourite Simple product?

Hugs and kisses
