NUDE Perfect Cleanse Omega Cleansing Jelly

Yep I bought another cleanser! I'm all about "the cleanse" if you haven't noticed already. Make sense though cuz cleansing is the most important step in our skincare routines and if you don't cleanse well no amount of serums or creams would penetrate well into the skin, no matter how expensive or effective they are.

You guys all know that I love balm cleansers but balms are just a tad "heavy" for the morning use and I really needed something lighter and refreshing like Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel which was sadly finished so I got this NUDE Omega Cleansing Jelly which is basically the same thing but with different ingredients. 

It comes with a giant squeezable tube (100ml for $38). I think this will last me for a while as you only need a penny size amount for the whole face. The trick is that the more you massage it in, the smoother the product becomes, so you really don't need a lot although you might think you do as the product is very hard to spread at the beginning which is rather "confusing" as it is a jelly, but as I said you just need massage a bit more which is totally fine by me as massaging is so good for the skin. 

I can tell you right now that I dig this baby big time. It is light in texture, scent, very refreshing which is ideal for morning use. It also has great ingredients such as sunflower seed oil which is rich in omega 6 & 9, great for nourishing and protecting the skin; bitter orange which helps to sooth, calm and tone our skin; annatto seed extract which is the perfect ingredient for strengthening and protecting the skin from daily stress; and great burdock root which balances out the skin: moisturises the dry areas and purifies the oily areas. 

You use it as you would with the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, just apply it on dry skin then either add water to turn it into a milky textured lotion or remove it with a damp cloth. It doesn't leave any residue and my skin feels comfortable afterwards. 

I really appreciate the fact that this cleanser is all natural and formulated without all those nasty chemicals and preservatives. And if I have to choose between this or the Oskia gel I would totally go for this one as the Oskia cleansing gel actually stings my eyes slightly maybe because of the natural exfoliating ingredients in it, plus I think this would really last me a long time unlike the Oskia gel which finishes way too fast. 

All in all I give it a 5 out of 5, I mean what's there not to like? It cleanses well although I would recommend use it as second cleanse if you prefer to use it in the evening because you really want all those beneficial ingredients to penetrate into your skin rather than use it as a makeup remover. It smells nice, has a lovely light gel texture that turns into an oil which moisturises the skin very well, does what it says and just feels lush on the skin. I highly recommend it and if you are not sure which to purchase between this NUDE cleansing jelly and the Oskia Cleansing gel, I'd say give this a shot as they are, in my opinion, pretty much the same but the NUDE one works out a little cheaper. 

That's it, enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you on Friday! Muahh!

My Top 5 Facial Oils

I am a big fan of facial oils if you haven't noticed it already from my Morning and Evening skincare Routine blogposts I did like a month ago, which by the way check them out if you are into skincare like I am. Just click on the links above. Anyways as I was saying facial oils are so so good for your skin and much more hydrating than moisturisers. Here are my 5 facial oils which I am currently loving and I'll tell you why in a minute, I have a couple more are on my wish list and when I get to try them eventually I will report back how they are. Always trying out new face oils  I know... By the way I don't actually have dry skin, it's more normal to combo but I do enjoy using oils. Think about it the reason why your skin produces so much oil is because your skin is dehydrated. So don't be scared of oils if you have oily skin because they can balance out your complexion. 

There we go. My top 5. I guess I'll start with the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery concentrate. They are in no particular order by the way, I love them all the same but for different purposes. 

This stuff is seriously amaze balls, and I'll tell you why.

• It hydrates instantly
• It penetrates deeply into your skin
• It smells OMG divine if you like Lavender
• It's so light, not sticky at all
• You'll wake up with a nice glow on the face (seriously)
• It cost 39 euros but it lasts like forever, seriously this stuff never finishes. 

TIP: try mixing it with your favourite clay mask, it'll just give you an extra boost. It worths every penny, so try it guys. If you have never used oils before the Kiehl's one is a good start! It's a serum but moisturise enough to be a moisturiser. I personally layer it with another oil which I'll get into it in a minute, but if you don't have dry skin this is good enough on its own. 

Now I know that everybody loves the Rosie Maran's Argan Oil so I am not gonna get into too much of detail but I'll tell you why I LOVE IT. It hydrates like nobody else's business! Exclamation point!!!! That's it, that's why I love it, I think that's a pretty good reason right?!!! Plus It's very natural and has all the good skincare ingredients in there. It's rich in Vitamin E so great source of Anti Oxidant for delaying ageing. I got the miniature version and definitely would pick up the full size when this runs out if it ever does. A little goes a long way with this oil. I also wanna try the "light" version. Does anybody know how it is compare to the original one? Please let me know. 

This Nude ProGenius Treatment Oil is actually a deluxe sample which I got from Sephora when it had a promotion. I am glad I got this because it is lovely. It's light yet hydrating, it doesn't have a smell to it which is okay although I do prefer a light relaxing scent to be honest, but it's good for those of you who are sensitive to fragrance. It's a treatment oil so you only need to use this one after washing your face in the evening, and you WILL wake up with a nice glow and more eventoned complexion. It's suitable for vegans as well just FYI. I will definitely pick up a full size when I finish up my other face oils. 

Next up, the Pure Maracuja Oil by Tarte. You can always find this under Sephora's best sellers, and now I know why. It's definitely a must have if you are into facial oils. I mix this with my Argan oil as my moisturiser and let me tell you the combination of these 2 is incredibly moisturising, but remember to use it in the evening it is too "oily" for morning use. It's rich in Vitamin C which is great for brightening your complexion if you have dark spots' marks and uneven skin tones. I got mine again in the miniature version, which by the way is great for travelling, and great value for money , trying it out before splurging on the big bottle right guys?! It also comes in a roller ball form, and I think I will get it next time just to experience the sensation of rolling this oil all over ma face! haha

I applaud you if you are still with me. I know I ramble, but we are almost there, I promise. 

Last but not least, the Normalising Day Oil by Dr. Hauschka. This is the only oil that you should use it in the morning as your moisturiser. It really balances out your skin no matter what skin type you have. I used up the whole bottle and it lasted me more than a year. I know right?! You only need a couple drops for entire face and neck. I found my face a lot less oily on the T zone and my foundation stays on all day. I love this so much and I am gonna have to pick up another bottle soon. I prefer using it in the winter, spring and autumn except summer, I just find a little too heavy in the summer. I love the scent, it smells like oranges, absolutely joyful to use in the morning. The only downside is that it leaks, it leaks everywhere. The bottle is a pain in the neck but they have changed the bottle I've heard so that's good news. 

There you have it, my beloved facial oils which are very very good for your skin no matter what age you are, and what skin type you might have. Try to use oils instead of creams in your skincare regime and you will see the difference once you get into it.
