Birthday Fun!

Hi All!

Sorry i haven't blogged in so long!
its been a bit of a manic month and with the sun finally deciding to show its face i thought, what better way to start the week then to write a blog post!

I've been celebrating my birthday over the last 3 days, i turned 20 on Friday which i'm not quite sure how i feel about.. its certainly true when people say you never feel your age.. it seems like yesterday i was turning 16! oh, how things have changed!
anyway i just thought i would share some pictures with y'all :)

Have a lovely day and enjoy the sun while it lasts!!

I have recently been searching for a new skincare brand to try. I have oily/combination skin and suffer quite badly with breakouts so after watching review after review of different products i was still undecided on what to try, it wasn't until i was shopping in my local ASDA store last week that i came across Nspa.

Firstly I was really impressed by the look of their packaging and for the price of product i personally think they look quite expensive. 

All the facial products have the same scent which is clean, refreshing and makes you feel awake which I think is really important to make you feel clean, fresh and ready for the day. The scent isn't overpowering which I personally don't like in a facial product as it can feel too harsh for sensitive skin. 

The cleanser comes out in mousse form, i use 2 pumps which i think is plenty for the face and neck area. It foams easily and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. 

The face scrub has a creamy formula with small exfoliating beads which arnt to scratchy on your skin but just enough to make your skin feel soft and smooth. The only thing I would add is that personally i like to use a exfoliator that lathers up and this remains creamy. which is great if you have normal/sensitive skin however if you suffer with oily/combination skin i feel you sometimes need something a little extra cleansing. 

The Toner comes in spray form which I think is really nice as it feels really refreshing and for me is great as i normally find it easy to use too much toner when tipping it onto a cotton pad. 

The moisturiser is really creamy, but not oily, it quickly sinks into your skin leaving it hydrated and looking brighter. and is great for using under your makeup. I have been using this for the night time too and i think my skin needs something a little more moisturising for night time and will definitely be buying the night cream to give it a go!

I have been using these products for nearly 2 weeks now after suffering a month of breakouts, dull dry skin and I have noticed a really good improvement. I am a strong believer that with all cosmetics you get what you pay for but for the price of these products they are definitely worth giving a go!

All the products i bought from ASDA and retailed for
Deep Cleansing Face Wash  £3.50
Brightening Detox Scrub £4.00
Revitalising Vitamin Toning Mist  £2.50
Brightening Day Cream with SPF 15  £5.00

So here it is, my first ever blog :)

I have had this blog for a while and not had any inspiration on what to base my first ever blog on!

So I have looked around, made myself at home and decided a month on, this would be the perfect time to dip my feet in the sea of blogging.

So Hi! I’m Aimie; a hairdresser from down south!

I will be trying my very hardest to write a blog as often as I can on little interesting things that go on in my day to day life, beauty reviews and pretty much anything else that takes my fancy!

So that’s it! I’m fairly new to this (as you can probably all tell!) so please bare with me :)

Any comments/advice will be greatly appreciated.
