La Roche-Posay EFFACLAR DUO review

hello every one!

yet again i have been awful at uploading blogs but i'm back with a review!

Recently i have been suffering from bad breakouts across my face and nothing seemed to even touch the issue and after watching a lot of you tube videos and composing a lot of research (sad right?) i have finally found a product that works!

I had never before had any experience with using products from La Roche-Posay but due to my desperation of needing to find something that works i gave this a whirl.

The product itself costs £15 from Boots and comes with great claims of "clearer skin or your money back" which i initially turned a blind eye to as often products that say this purely do it for advertising purposes.

The packaging itself of the product was good, the size is really good considering a little goes a very long way with this product and the applicator meant that not too much would come out at once.

To review this product ultimately I cut out all other spot care treatment products and replaced it with the effaclar duo. Every morning and evening i applied this product after cleansing.

Within the first two days of using this product i saw differences in my impurities beginning to clear already with the redness going.

After the full seven day trial my skin had next to fully cleared with even those horrid under skin spots gone!

I can honestly say this is a wonder product and has changed my skin so much so that this is probably the best it has been in a long time.

Although this product probably did the most part of clearing up my skin i also cut out all sugary foods and replaced them with healthy alternates and recently i have been drinking a lot more water which i believe has helped.

That's all for now, lots of love

2014 Resolutions

Hi everyone,

So first of all i would like to nominate myself for the worst blogger at updating and the achievement of latest new years blog post ever!
I hope you all had a fabulous new years and are all looking forward to 2014!

I wanted to share with you some of my resolutions and things i aim to do in 2014 that will hopefully make this year the best yet and also give you some ideas on some resolutions for 2014 yourself:


1) Don't waste a day
    Last year i think i spent a lot of my time doing nothing when i could have been out enjoying myself and being productive so this year i aim to do at least one productive thing every day because life is way too short to be laying on your bed refreshing your Facebook feed.

2) Achieve my targets and goals
    I often find myself setting myself a target that i want to do but i often never complete them or follow them through; i have started to right down my ideas of things i would like to accomplish and put them in a jar, every time i think of something i will put that idea in a jar and pick out random ones every now and again but i MUST follow them through.
One thing already in there is to learn the guitar.

3) Be a better person
    Now i know this is probably already in your mind for a new years resolution but i think there are so many aspects of being a good person that its hard to know where to begin, I would like to do some volunteer work at my local charities first of all. As well as this you personally may want to get fitter, eat healthier or meet some new people.

4)  Explore
     I have always been quite shy of venturing into the un-known but this year i really want to push myself out of my comfort zone and explore the world more as there is so much of it that its too good to miss out on!

5) Be happier
    Its easy to let yourself slip into a mindset of not being bothered to do something because it might not sound that great or you might be having a bad day but this year i want to try and have as many good days as possible, i know there will always be bad days but im going to look at a glass as half full rather than half empty.


I hope these five of my resolutions gave you a few ideas on what you might want to change about yourself or achieve in 2014 and i hope the new year brings you all happiness and courage to make 2014 your year!

Lots of love
