REVIEW | Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets



 
Hello beauties,
 
This evening I thought I would do a little review for you on these Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets. I got these in the goodie bag from the Company Fashion Forum event at the end of last year but hadn't tried them until now. I think I put off using them for so long because I thought that they couldn't possibly work or make any difference to my skin, however it seems that I may have been wrong...
 
Seeing as my New Years Resolution is to use up all of the products I already own before I buy any more, this product obviously falls into the category so I thought I would give it a try. The wipes come in a cute little package with the sheets all neatly tucked inside. It has a little gap to fasten the lid once the package is closed and also has a little sticker-like patch which sticks to a sheet to lift it out of the neat packaging easily, rather than you pulling out 5 sheets at a time when you only need one! I have to say I was wary about the sticker patch to begin with, wondering whether the sheet would rip when you try to take it off but it comes off with ease and makes life a whole lot easier!
 
The packaging says to pat the sheet over your face to remove any excess oil from your skin yet keep your make-up in tact, however I tend to use this product before I go to bed rather than on the go so I just give my face a quick rub with one or two sheets. Once you have patted or rubbed your face you can really feel the difference. I don't have overly oily skin but my forehead tends to suffer slightly and after I use these sheets my face feels a lot softer and non greasy.
 
Overall I really love this product. It's simple yet effective and is a product that not many people would think about purchasing, but I would definitely recommend these wipes as they really do work. You can buy a pack for £2.99 in Superdrug, although at the moment it's 99p online so if you have slightly, or overly, oily skin then try these out because they work like a dream! And not to mention the cool little sticker device ;)

My evening skincare routine



 
Hello again lovelies!
 
I seem to be doing two posts in one day quite a lot recently. I guess it's due to quickly blogging when I get a chance to break away from all this uni work! Anyway, about a week ago I did a blog post on my morning skin care routine, which you can find here, and I thought I would now show you what I do in the evenings aswell. A few of the items you will notice I also use in the mornings such as the Simple cleanser, toner and the Witch blemish stick, but all of the other products are just used for the evenings.
 
1. First up I use the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets (review coming very soon!). I got these in my goodie bag from the Company Fashion Forum event at the end of last year but I have only just started using them. I won't say too much because I think I'll review these tomorrow night, but I do use these every night at the moment.
 
2. After this I take my make-up off, which is generally only my eyes and cheeks as I don't wear foundation. At the moment I am using the liquid Simple eye make-up remover as I had a little trouble with the cream version (you can see the review here).
 
3. Next up, if I'm feeling I need a really deep clean for my face, I will use Soap and Glory's Fab Pore Hote Cloth Cleanser. I have to say, I don't use this every night as I feel the cleanser and toner is enough for me, so I say I would use this maybe once or twice a week. It works really well and deep cleaning your skin and comes with the muslin cloth which I thought was really good, and it apparently takes off your make up too but I haven't tried that out yet.
 
4. After that  I head straight for the cleanser and toner to clean my face. As I said in my morning skin care routine post and a youtube video Simple work for me and really clean my face leaving me feeling fresh.
 
5. After that I will use the Witch Blemish Stick if I have any blemishes hanging around. This product works really well and cooling the area and toning down redness and size.
 
6. And lastly I use a night moisturizer. At the moment I am using the Organic Surge Overnight Sensation Night Cream which works really well. My face is moisturized through out the night and feels lovely and smooth by the morning.
 
So that's it! You can find the links to all these products underneath the picture and reviews will be coming very soon so keep a look out for that!
