The Weekend Catch-up #5

Yay it's the weekend! Plus it's a bank holiday - woo! I'll be spending the extra day off with good friends and good food. I have my fingers crossed it will be a sunny one so I can finally bare my legs. I've been good this week and haven't purchased any beauty products. That said, I may have bought some new shoes..and a dress..and a bikini #feelingspendy.

Brighter Skin: I had a day off this week so I stepped outside for some much needed vitamin D. As I have very fair skin I only stayed out for 20 minutes without SPF but unfortunately that was still too long and I woke up with patchy, uneven skin. I had no idea brown spots could appear so quickly! After a little research it appears I might have hyperpigmentation as a result of hormones. I'm no expert but I've got out all my brightening skincare products to help even out my complexion. Fingers crossed it works!

Empties: It's such a rarity that I manage to completely finish a product I just had to give it a mention in my weekend catch-up. I was proud to use up the Roger & Gallet Body Sorbet. I'm awful at remembering to moisturise my body but I really enjoyed using this and was a little sad to say goodbye. It made my skin feel incredibly soft and was deliciously perfumed. I also finished the Vichy Normadern Hyaluspot which targets imperfections. I found it did help to reduce my spots but it also claimed to leave no marks which I didn't find to be true, not a repurchase for me.

Testing out: I've been craving a summer holiday all week but with none on the cards I have been enjoying some new summer launches instead. The new Lord and Berry summer collection includes sizzling shades that would be the perfect accompaniment to a white bikini. Full review to follow.
