WIBL #40: Back to basics
Sunday, March 22, 2015
So today's WIBL is a combination of products, something old, something new, and something that's been around for a few months (I wish I could've said blue, but the BB cream is the old product!) I've been keeping things extraordinarily simple when it comes to both skincare and makeup, so the simplicity of my routine has obviously been reflected in my choices this time. Starting with the base, I've been using my beloved Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB Cream every day without fail. The 'water fuse' element of it ensures that my skin stays hydrated and it also means that none of my dry patches are highlighted, which is a huge bonus for me. Moving onto my eyes, I've fallen head over heels with my new YSL Babydoll Mascara. The skinny, synthetic brush is perfect for my lashes because it really grips onto them and adds both length and volume. I mentioned in this post that I bought the dark brown version, and it's been great because it doesn't look too harsh against my light colouring. Last but not least, we have the product that takes all of the above off - the Sarah Chapman Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse. In the Boxing Day sales this year I picked up this nifty little kit, and to my surprise, this has been my favourite from the bunch. This is a gorgeous, thick balm cleanser that melts away my makeup in seconds. What's great about this is that it comes with a pump, so there's no need to dip those grubby little fingers into a pot and get lots of product under your nails! It also has quite a heavy, relaxing scent and overall, the product just feels really fancy and rich. I don't think I could justify splashing out £40 for the full size of this, but I am thoroughly enjoying this sample.
