I have always been a lover of makeup and skincare from a young age even if It did look awful at the time and didn't help my skin. As I've grown older, I have found that I look after my skin much more, and love to research around my skin type (which Is never something I thought I would enjoy), but I do.
I'm not really that person that always has new beauty products because I always stick to what I know and love, but over the 6 months I created a wish list of lots of things I wanted to try out or loved the look of.
So, I did an order and I'm going to go through each one in a bit more detail if you wanted to know more about it, or just about what I found out about the products. (this is a slight background to the products)
The IGTV unboxing went live on my instagram this morning, if you haven't already seen it I would love if you went and gave it some love!

Garnier antioxidant moisturising cream SPF10
When researhcing into The Ordinary products I found out that because some of the ingredients can be quite harsh or stronger on your skin it can make your skin more sensitive. So using a thick SPF moisturiser after your skincare routine and before makeup, or even no makeup is so important to protect your skin.
