NEW Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel With Active Charcoal Facial Wash

A new product range hit the shelves in Boots recently and in true blogger style I decided to grab them and give them a go - I would be a bad blogger not too right?

Boots have had their Tea Tree & Witch Hazel range for a long while now but they've decided to add to them with these new products with a hint of active charcoal!
There is a wash, scrub and mask in the new collection but so far I've only been able to get the wash and the mask - although to be fair I have lots of scrubs to go through already!
 Today I'm going to be talking about the facial wash.
The smell of tea tree immediately takes me back to my childhood and teenage years - the shampoos, the skincare - I swear I was tea tree mad at one point! I really do like the smell because of this, I love to reminisce! 

With active charcoal this wash helps to remove impurities and excess oils which is definitely what I have been needing the moment in this weather. My skin has been feeling so grotty and greasy with all this hot and sweaty weather a good detox is what it needs whether it be morning or night.
I have been using this mostly in the mornings in the shower but some days I have been using it as an extra step after removing my make-up in the evenings to give my skin a really deep clean.

The product is black - as you may have already guessed with it being charcoal and all! It is all shiny and pretty and foams up well on the face when warm water is added!
The wash leaves my skin feeling cleansed and smooth and I also think the charcoal has helped to bring out some spots - although this sucks as my skin is normally fin it's better to get them out right? 
This has taken the place of all the other facial washes I've had stocked up to choose from in the shower and I tend to keep on using it for a long while!
I'm really looking forward to tying out the mask now, so keep an eye out on here for a review which I'm sure will be up in the next couple of weeks!
The facial wash is only £3.40 and you can find it - here.

Rodial Instaglam Skin Tint Capri (Light) Review

Hello lovely ones! Hope you are all well and having a good week so far! Today I have a review for you all from that new brand in my life Rodial.
You may remember my post about the fabulous Glamstick last week and I'm back with another make-up product from them in the form of a skin tint!


This is the Instaglam skin tint in the shade Capri (light.)
Rodial Instaglam Skin Tint Capri (Light)*
First up, obsessed with this product's name. I'm an Instagram hoe so the fact this is called Instaglam just makes me happy!

It is a skin tint.... aka a tinted moisturiser/BB cream type product! I was a little worried about the shade when I first got my hands on it as it is the lightest one in the collection but it is actually turned out alot better than I was expecting.

It comes in a professional loooking  40ml tube with a snazzy silver mirrored lid! I'm pretty lucky with my skin so I don't mind wearing something that isn't high coverage, this is said to be medium coverage and I would agree with that.
 I've been wearing this a couple of times a week when I haven't been upto much and not after  full-on look.
The texture is smooth, soft and creamy like a moisturiser and glides onto the skin with ease.

I've found I need to use a fair bit each time to get my desired coverage but it does give me a nice, even look.
It doesn't cover my bag under my eyes I can tell you that, I definitely need concealer alongside this if I want some good coverage in that area but everything else like redness and freckles are covered easily and evenly.
Bloomin lipstick swatches staying on my hand! Proper long-lasting those!

Although it leaves my skin feeling really smooth it does leave quite a shine on my skin which I'm not surprised by, as of it's consistency so if you are prone to oily/shiny skin this probably won't help you BUT if you suffer with dry and dehydrated skin this would be fab!

To be honest I've not noticed my 'lines/wrinkles' being plumped that much like it promises but my skin does feel very even and soft. It might work better and be more noticeable on more mature skin maybe?

This is the perfect product for me for the hot summer weather, alot lighter and fresher than my usual foundations and it has an SPF 30 which is great you are going to be outside for the majority of the day - beach/festival/holiday.
 I will definitely be taking this to Florida with me but I don't think I'll be able to wear it for that long as once I have a tan it will be way too light.

I do have one problem with this product and that is the price. This retails at £45 which for what it is, I would say is alot. I think £20 would be sufficient!
You can see this beauty here on Rodial's website! I'm really intrigued now to try some more products from this brand - I've heard such amazing things about their skincare and a certain boob cream which sounds awesome, so keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure they'll be more reviews coming your way soon!
