3 things I am loving

Clarisonic Mia

Made by the people behind to Sonic toothbrush
They aim to make your product use as effective as possible
This little beauty cleans everything off your face
Cleans 6 times more makeup off
Makes product twice as effective
Is this true?
Absolutely, my skin feels sooo clean after using this
I feel like I've had  a little pamper after using this
It is a little investment but you use less product, save on multiple exfoliants (as it gives gentle daily exfoliation without being harsh) and you have an at home facial spa.

I love to use this with a balm cleanser or even just amazing coconut oil to remove my makeup.
It is the little tool everyone needs in their box of tricks
(+ it makes your skincare more effective as it can actually penetrate and work on true clean skin, they use it on models backstage at LFW)

Rodial snake mask

This is the one!
The does-it-all mask

It has Si-nake serum which is a potent formulation which stops the muscles from subconcious contraction therefore prevents wrinkles.  It has been called the closest thing to botox.  However as I am not quite at that time where I need that I wasn't too interested in it to begin with until...I found out it could be used to sort all sorts of texture problems - mine being congestion and blackheads.

This thick black gel forms a solid mask on the face but instead of being ebrasive, it dries so you can peel it off in one slow pull.  The feeling is bizarre and amazing at the same time, first you can't move your face at all (first time I've shut up for 10 minutes!) then you can feel all the congestion being extracted and you are left with...
amazingly smooth skin - I just kept stroking it!
(tip - to get the stubborn ones out, steam face first then apply mask)

This should be everyones go to magic wand treatment - I just love it!

And finally
yes, another
Rodial - glamtox day spf18!

When I tried it I just thought a good moisturiser with spf - well done Rodial.

However....due to strange circumstances I ended up putting it on before bed as a didn't feel like finding a good light night cream.  I awoke to absolutely plumped and even skin which is really strange as usually its a little uneven and tired looking.  Since carrying on using this my skin feels baby-faced smooth, not too dry not too oily - it is perfect for this in between weather we get in the UK at this time of year.
