There was a pretty damn wonderful offer on the Boots website the other week which easily reeled me in as the bargain hunter I am – thanks a lot Tim Wonnacott. 3 For 2 on all skincare really got me excited and you bet I spent well over an hour narrowing down my choices to a cost savvy three I am now extremely chuffed with. An eye cream to hopefully delay my wrinkly bags (is that a euphamisim??), a Body Shop tea tree facial wash dupe and a forgotten world class moisturiser.
Remember me? If you’ve forgotten, my name is Jolie (just Jolie, what up.) and life has quite simply gotten on top of me as of late. I really do apologise for the inconsistent uploading that has been occurring, but I am going to get on top of that in the next few weeks and get at least a post a week up for you all. So are we good? Can I get on? Great, thanks lads.
We are getting back into the swing with my favourite skin care discovery of the recent present (..?). It is a moisturiser that will knock your little socks off , and if you’re not wearing socks, well it will give you’re ankles a swift kick. (Yes, it’s that good.) As the title points out, it is the wonderful Clinique Moisture Surge moisturiser!
I have grown up with Clinique products. Not using them myself obviously, (we weren’t made of money – jeepers) but as my mothers brand of choice, it holds a special place in my wee heart. There is a clean fresh smell to everything Clinique, which always makes me feel confident it is doing me good. This product is no exception, and the refreshing feel extends from the smell to the product itself – prepare to be smacked around the chops by moist-ness, in the best way possible.
This lovely, pastel pink tub of pure good-ness reads: “moisture surge – extended thirst relief”, I haven’t read something so true in a long time. It is quite literally like having a bucket of cold water poured on your face on a baking hot day – call it the most satisfying metaphorical ice bucket challenge (blast from the past eh?) ever. Despite it’s immense hydrating abilities, it isn’t very oily at all, so is definitely appropriate for most, if not all, skin types. As well as a moisturising wonder, I also found it to be a great base for makeup for when you frankly can’t be arsed with primer; it leaves your skin silky smooth.
It is £25, there’s no getting away from that. I got my adorable sample size for christmas in a wash bag so I cannot confess that I have spent that, but I can tell you now I would be willing to part with that dollar to keep this creamy god in my life. I bet you £25 you will not be disappointed!
