My skin hasn't been my best friend for many years. I could never seem have a week where I didn't have some sort of blemish on my face but I have the problem where I have a spot, I do pick at it, which I know is not good in the slightest. Although I'm getting better at not doing it, I still find that I would still get spots and blemishes quite often.

I've used many products over the years, some which would work to start with, some which didn't work at all, or some which would make it worse. It didn't help that my hormones have been all over the place, thanks to me having P.E and switching from the pill to the injection so my body was trying to adapt, meaning that some days/weeks it was pretty bad.

I was in a blog chat a while ago now and a question came up, asking what are people's skincare 'holy grail', with many saying theirs was the Pixi Glow Tonic. Seeing the amount of responses, I asked a couple of people why, how was it such a good product and they all said that it has made their skin look and feel so much better since using it. Being part of the blogging community, you really take on the advice and opinions of other bloggers so I wanted to give it a go, to see if it would work. I saw that they sold it in M&S so I went on a hunt after work to buy it. It is a little pricey, at £18 for a 250ml bottle but I was willing to try it based on the feedback I got from others. 

I made sure that I would use this in the evening before going to bed, regardless if I had makeup on that day or not. I started using it when my skin was pretty bad but noticed that from only using it for a few days, it really cleared it up. It reduced the redness to start with, so they weren't so obvious but after 2/3 days, it basically made them non-existent, especially for the smaller ones. I would say that after atleast 5/6 days in a row using this, my face cleared up completely. I only really had a small mark from where the blemish was. I was so happy how quickly it turned around and my skin was all lovely and clean, healthy and hydrated.

Although there is a bit of a purse pinching price attached, I would totally recommend this product to anyone who struggles with their skin a bit. Of course I was worried about spending this money and it potentially not work but it's totally worth it and I'm so glad it's worked out. You can buy a 100ml for £10 if you don't want to spend too much on it.

Do you own the Pixi Glow Tonic? Do you share the same experience as me? I'd love to you know your stories using this product.

Another month has passed, another month we're closer to the end of 2016. Where has this year gone?! Only feels like yesterday that I was cheering in a new year and I'm about to do it again so soon. But, not dwelling on it too much, October is a great month. I love it! I love that the leaves go all orange and crispy. I love that the days get colder. I love that I can start bringing out my hats and jumpers again. I just love it.
On the topic of love, I thought that I would share the things that I have enjoying during the month of October.


First up, it's the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask. As much as I do enjoy how it gets colder (I can't handle the heat well), I do find that it makes my skin awfully dry. So I've been using these masks about once a week just to keep it hydrated. I've been seeing these in Boots and Superdrug for only 99p, which is a really good, affordable price. I tend to have one just before going to bed, when I'm reading my book.


This moves me on nicely to the next favourite and it's the book The Girl on the Train. I'm not much for reading books, and never really have been but earlier in the month, I went and saw the film with some friends. I had heard that the book was pretty good but I went based on the trailer. I found the film really good and captivating and I actually, for once, wanted to read the book, to see how it compares. So far, it's been an enjoyable read, and just as good as the film.


My next monthly favourite has been the Zoella Hungry Hands, the hand cream from her latest collection from her beauty range. I've not bought anything from Zoella before, not because I've had no interest, I just felt like my time hasn't come yet, and that there will be something right up my alley one day. When she released her video talking about her new range, this one spoke out to me the most. I purchased Hungry Hands and immediately fell in love with the product. The packaging and the smell is very pleasing and when applying this to my hands, it leaves them feeling hydrated and smell absolutely divine. I know this is going to last me a long time, as a small amount goes a really long way but I'm gutted to know that it's only going to be out for Christmas, so I may just have to buy one or two to enjoy it for a longer period of time. This product just screams Autumn and I love it!


Last but not least, I have been enjoying a new hot beverage, Chai Latte Vanilla. This is a very autumnal drink and so lovely. It's definitely one of those 'you either love it or you hate it' drinks but the blend of spices and vanilla makes a winter warmer, especially when I'm in the office and in need of a little pick me up. If you're a fan of Chai or Pumpkin Spice Latte, then I think you'll enjoy this too.

There you have it, that was my October favourites. Are any of these your favourites too? Do you recommend any products for November? Leave your comments below.

What’s the last thing you bought?

Haha, I double checked my online banking and it was for Deliveroo, for a Burger King :'D

Favourite book of all time?

Honestly, I'm not much of a book person but the only book (well, series) I ever read was the Harry Potter books. Especially as each film came out, I enjoyed going back over the books to see how they differed.

Favourite colour?

I don't really have a favourite colour at the moment. I can give you a colour that I was obsessed with at one point. It was burgundy. I swear, I bought so many clothes, accessories in that colour, you have no idea.

Do you have any pets?

I do! :D I currently have 4 cats, who I love to bits. One is called G (we had her brother who we named T, so they were called G&T, as in Gin and Tonic. Don't ask), another is called Lily and then we have a brother & sister called Milo and Luna. My family and I are cat people so we've had atleast one cat since I was about 6.

Favourite Perfume?

I loooove Chloé Eau de Parfum. I love that smell so much.

Favourite Holiday Destination?

I really enjoy going to Cornwall. It's the only real place I've gone on holiday to (as I've only been out the UK once to Ireland) and I just love the sites & the beaches. Plus I have some family down there.

Are you married?

I'm not married, although I am happily in a relationship with my boyfriend, who I've been with for nearly 7 years.

Have you ever been out of the country, if so how many times?

Once, to Ireland (I know I just said it up there). I went with my friends who I've known since school so I'm glad my first trip out of the UK was with them.

Do you speak any other languages?

Unfortunately no. I did do French in secondary school but that didn't go far.

How many siblings do you have?

Just the one younger sister, who is like my best friend. We can do such stupid stuff and we just laugh, even though it makes no sense to anyone else.

What’s your favourite shop?

I love Topshop and I know this isn't a shop, but ASOS too. Can't miss out on Primark though for some bargains.

Favourite Restaurant?

YO! Sushi. I love their katsu curry and chicken gyozas. Love, love love.

When was the last time you cried?

On Thursday, I think. I was just trying to eat my dinner and I just got really sad. My boyfriend was there to comfort me though.

Favourite Blog?

There are so many to choose from. I've seen so many lovely blogs lately that I honestly can't pick one.

Favourite Film?

Harry Potter all the way. It's weird to think I was only 9 when the first film came out! So long ago but it was just magical all the way to the end.

Favourite TV Shows?

It's not on TV but OITNB. So, so good. I also find RuPaul's Drag Race such a laugh.

PC or Mac?

I've been a PC user for so long but I got a Mac for my birthday. I was speechless. I absolutely love mine.

What phone do you have?

iPhone 6 in grey, although I kinda want to get the 6S Rose Gold. The plus is way to big for my hands. Personally, I don't like the SE.

How tall are you?

About 5ft 5in. It's kinda nice because when I cuddle my boyfriend, I can fit just under his chin.

Can you cook?

I'd like to say that I can. I cooked a katsu curry for the first a few months ago and it actually came out alright. I've been really trying to cook new things recently because I'm getting bored of eating the same things.

And there we go! Now you know a little bit more about me. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Is there anything that we share in common?
